Early Access to Madden NFL 15 Has Arrived For EA Access Subscribers

11:23 AM - August 21, 2014 by Steve_OS

Early access to Madden NFL 15 has arrived for EA Access subscribers.

Exclusive to Xbox One users, EA Access subscribers get six hours of gameplay. So make sure you close out of the app when it's not in use. The timer starts when you start the game and pauses when you exit and close the app.

UPDATE: EA Access subscribers can download it, but can't actually play it. We will update when they get it working...

UPDATE #2: Just received this Twitter response from EA Access.

UPDATE #3: Everything works now, post your impressions in the new post.

Maybe EA will throw us a bone for yet another fiasco and let us keep the trial the whole weekend?

Probably a fallacy to use 'free' or 'compensation' in the same sentence as EA Sports, but we can still dream.

Sounds like an issue with the Xbox One's coded trial system they added recently. So people cab stop bashing EA.

Hey guys. We are aware of the issues some users are experiencing attempting to download the trial through EA Access subscriptions, and we are working with MS to resolve it. Please be sure to follow @EAAccess on Twitter for all the latest updates.

Thanks for your patience.

Possible I was thinking the same as I'm in the program also

I downloaded it, its at 100%, I go to try to play it and the only option I have is "Install trial" again

Thx AJ for the report you think you can talk to the higher ups to let us play the game longer than 6hours

Guys, this thread is where people will come for information regarding something quite frustrating.

Leave the personal stuff out.

In general, this is what we as a site are incredibly good at, and there are probably a lot of frustrated heated people on the boards. This is exactly where we implement zero tolerance. Compare notes, look for fixes, but don't bash EA and don't bash people's habits in this thread.

# 117 N51_rob @ 08/21/14 01:20 PM

Gents some of you are toeing the line here. Please keep that in mind going forward.

# 118 fancyclaps @ 08/21/14 01:23 PM

Hopefully they don't resolve the problem until late tomorrow and then to make up for it they give us access for the remaining 3 full days

I'm hoping somebody at EA realizes this will fix this PR disaster they created

EA isn't the reason why the trial isn't working.
