Did i not ask if he had another time to play between now and Monday?

Is there anyone else who can't even get onto the EA servers to buy the month subscription, let alone get to the game download?

He's not upset, just enjoys poking the bears. The pizza analogy is a good one.

I never expect something like this to work from the start.

Doesn't quite work that way. You paid for something to start at a certain time. It should work as advertised. Maybe he has to work all weekend or is going out of town. It would be like driving to an amusement park and when you get there they say we're closed and we're not sure when we're opening. After you already bought the tickets and drove an hour to get there. (Thinking they would be open as stated on their website).

Well I'm officially confused. Even though I tried to start the download with Smartglass and got constant errors that it wouldn't start due to an error. So I drove home at lunch to start the download, just because my connection isn't as fast as most people's, so I need all the download time I can get unfortunately. Anyways, I get home, pop into the EA Access hub, see Madden 15 there, it takes me to the store page for the game, and its already 5% completed installing. So... at some point in time, even with the errors, it started to download, even though it never told me it was. Strange, but its at least downloading for me now. Hopefully the playing it issue gets sorted out.

This 100%. Ea said the game would be playable at noon. They failed to keep that promiss whether or not it was on there end or microsofts. Consumers have the right to be upset when a product doesn't do what is advertised.

Somehow I knew it wouldn't work on day 1....but I'm all for compensation in the form of 6 days unlimited access. What could it hurt? Really, we are PAYING for the service...terrible.
