I believe you do get the game 5 days early, through digital download from Access, but you just get 6 hours of game time and then you cannot play the game again until midnight of the actual game release...

It is a pretty cool feature! Glad i signed up. Great value for $29.99/year

Looking forward to playing it on August 20th!

There are also workarounds for you to get more time by creating a different Xbox ID.

Access makes sense to me because every year I would pay 15-40 dollars more to get the game early. With EA Access, I dont have to run around on Ebay or Mom and Pop shops looking for the game. Pay 5 bucks and get the game early with no fuss.

Access is definitely worth it, especially considering you should be getting early access to Madden, PGA, NHL, and FIFA.5 days early play of McIlroy & FIFA alone is worth the price.

Yes. I did this last year for NHL Early Access. EA Access only had like 2 games at that point, but now with the size of the library I'm signing up for a full year this time.

It's not really news. It's just information for those interested.

I think I might snatch up EA Access for this here. It wasn't worth it last year to me. But this year, I see the value. Plus I get to demo Madden. EA Access is a nice deal. My little brother just made the jump to current gen with the XB1 and for 30$ he has 5 solid sports games to start with. That ain't bad at all.
