EA Access Gives You Just Six Hours Of Madden NFL 15 Gameplay

[Syncmastr]

I just got my Xbox1 last week and still don't own any games. Getting FIFA, Madden, and BF4 was huge for me and an unbelievable deal at the price. I would of been perfectly happy paying $5/month for exactly what we are getting right now. If EA told me a week ago that I would get to play Madden 15 early for 6 hours on top of that, I would of considered it an awesome extra bonus.

Announcing it like this is just messed up IMO. It has turned me from a 110% happy customer into someone who almost feels robbed myself. Honestly with this and the EASHL stuff going on right now, I don't know what to think about this company anymore. I didn't think it was possible for them to shock me anymore, but its really a new low.

I noticed they put out something saying access time will vary by game. I wonder if less popular games will receive more time.

As a former Season Ticket sub I was blindsided by this today. I don't understand how they came up with 6 hours and thinking we would all accept because we got Peggle 2 for free!

Um, that's a lot of games...

The value seems to come from the vault access rather than getting games early.

I had hoped it was basically Season Ticket for next gen but obviously I was wrong

To each their own, but I disagree....You couldn't even play through a whole season...

Disappointed it's only 6 hours thought it would at least be the same as season pass. Access is good deal for new xbox one owners but I already own fifa and bf4 but oh well

I don't see how it is that grave - they already have a bad rep in the eyes of the online gaming commumity that votr them worst company in America.

The investment they put into this very title is worth applauding if not then at least your acknowldgment of their progress is warranted.

I'm just totally baffled.. I think the worst part of this is our naked compliance to adhering w the agenda they have established.

I say naked because we are openly voicing our displeasure regarding this particular new standard that has been set yet their will be members of this complaining body that still buy the game or even early access + the game.

That last statement sibliminally tells me that our weakness for instant gratification and this game in particular is stronger than the power they have over us to initiate these parameters in the first place.

It reminds of MUT Community members who continually purchase bundle packs with real money regardless of hoe many times they were previously shafted which tells me two things: (1) they can be taken advantage of because they have money to blow amd want to blow it (2) they are addicted to the transaction itself of purchasing and ripping packs

We all have somewhere that $5 or $30 can go and EA basically opens up shop and says, "we have built it: they will come".

Sadly, we still come in droves so I cannot even speak on the subject of protest - I have no faith that this avenue of objectives holds any gravitis.

If a change is comming, it may very well be their, EA's own plan or work of madness, to frustrate us with a low ball offer only to appease us with a greater more appealing restructued counter offer.

What's the point of having it 5 days early if it's only for 6 hours? Also, no demo. Complete money grab and rip-off to people like me who were dumb enough to pay the 30...
