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

  01:21 PM - August 18, 2014 by Steve_OS

The official EA Access twitter account today confirmed that the platform will only support six hours of Madden NFL 15 gameplay. Considering EA Sports Season Ticket offers Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 users access to the game for three full days, this news comes as a disappointment for Xbox One fans.

Without a Madden NFL 15 demo, EA Access and EA Sports Season Ticket is the only way consumers can play the game early. Unfortunately, EA Access is exclusive to the Xbox One, which means PlayStation 4 gamers are left out in the cold on any early access period.

While EA Access certainly has its benefits with The Vault, the sports gamer looked at the deal as a no-brainer, since it offered early access to games. However, with time limits set to just six hours of gameplay, that could deter many of them.

While EA Sports has confirmed demos for both NHL 15 and FIFA 15, we would like to hear from the community concerning the six hour gameplay limit for Madden NFL 15 on EA Access.

Sound off!

Should be interesting if this changes for future games. A change for Madden is very unlikely. If they had made it clear before hand they would have gotten ripped, but it wouldn't have looked as bad.

As much as I like the EA Access so far, shame on EA for this.

Apparently, their system of BS goes to 11.

Problem is this question about time limits for early access had been asked since the minute this program was announced. EA waited until today to lowkey disclose this info. In fact it was in response to a twitter question, so not even a direct announcement. They knew most were getting this just for the early access. Just bad business and it's no surprise why the company continually gets such a bad rap on the internet. I'm actually surprised they didn't wait until Weds to drop this little piece of info on us. But no big deal to me, I was going to get a 1 month sub when Madden was available on weds/thurs but why bother? Playing year old games in the vault is of no interest to me. Feel sorry for the ones who can't cancel and now regret the purchase.

Those people will also get access to some classic EA titles like Battlefield 4 and Fifa 14 for their $30. If they haven't played those games it's not that bad of a deal especially if they update their catalog of free titles monthly like PS+ does.

Smh, iam beyond disgusted with EA. The audacity and unwillingness to listen or even care about their LOYAL paying customers is disgusting. For them to swindle you into paying money under the asumption of something and then after they've collected enough money, turn around and totally go against what they KNOW the consumer wants is ridiculously calculating, manipulative and just down right, once again....Disgusting

I really dont understand what people see in the vault...are people really willing to wait a full year to play the last iteration of Battlefield or Fifa?

I mean if they are then kudos to them theyre are actually saving money.

That is not going to happen.

For sports games yes. For a game like Battlefield of Mass Effect eventually, I'll get it right away and then trade in once they are added to the vault.

Those who are upset at spending 30 bux, don't deserve any sympathy. Who spends an extra 30 dollars ON TOP of an already 60 dollar game just to play it a week early?
Everybody spends their money differently, you may not agree with it but that's the beauty of living in a free country. Some were under the impression they would have early access to the game for 5 days, EA never did or said anything to refute that rumor even though it was running rampant throughout the forums. As a PS4 owner I would have gladly paid $5 for early access to the game, I might have even paid $30. Where I live for most of the year (Asia) I can get games 1-2 weeks early but I pay upwards of $80-90 for them (some parts of the US you can do this too if you know where to look). I don't mind paying the extra money to play the game early.

I am not a huge soccer fan IRL, can't stand the sport but I always enjoyed the video games. I usually purchase the previous year games anyways seeing as I only know a handful of players, and I am sure I am not the only one who does that. Right now Fifa 14 is still selling for $35 at most stores, I would pay $30 for it and get a few extra's throughout the year.

I paid for my year, I had my xbox1 maybe a month. So I missed Madden, Fifa, etc. I'm an adult gamer so the 10% discount saves me gas going to gamestop and the hassle of lines. All in all great value for me, however not getting the benefit to immediately buy the game after the 6hrs and wait for the hassle of trying to download it tuesday which I guessing will not be an easy process. 👎👎👎

Many people are failing to realize the zero tolerance policy. Several have come into here gloating about others having disappointment in the feature.

Paid demos. LOL.

Funny how tunes have changed in a week around these parts..
 
# 257 NowAndLaterCARZ @ 08/18/14 03:48 PM
well me personally can see why some are upset, seems to me that the vault is currently filled with year old games that most own or played already. now if ea were to stock the vault with new releases when they drop such as fifa 15 and madden 15 on release day it would be a no-brainer. also ea should have told people from the start that it was only 6 hrs of access 5 days early, thats a huge thing to leave out.

You can get unlimited gameplay action, gets a feel of the game, new graphics, new features. . . for FREE.

Now you get 6 hours, of a full game, that you couldn't even get fluid with gameplay in 6 hours lol. especially in a CFM, with pre-season, the new pre-game things, and transactions.
