Early Access to Madden NFL 15 is Working For EA Access Subscribers

04:33 PM - August 21, 2014 by Steve_OS

Microsoft has resolved the Madden NFL 15 early access issue for EA Access subscribers. For some odd reason, users were able to download it, but couldn't actually play the game.

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.

Just wait a couple of days more and you'll get what you want.

Sorry if this has been brought up but ...

Has anyone tried Starting up Madden via EA Access, and than pulling the plug on your internet and just play it offline?

I tried it yesterday and it works. I just have over 3 hours left on my Trial and didn't have the time to test it by playing it over a couple hours to see if it registers against my total trial time limit.

So, to sum it up I know you can play it offline, I just don't know if that counts against your trial time.

has anyone ran out of early access time yet?

There's not too many places that you can get 6 hours of great entertainment for $5 so it's worth it to me...

WR will go up and get the ball in air and try to get 2 fit in. Also you can push the pile and fight for extra yards to get a first down/touch down. QB will miss wide open recievers sometimes like in real life. That's just my opinion of course.

I signed on just to respond to this. One of the best and honest impressions so far. I agree with u 100% I am using my 6 hours smart and hate the limit but I'm loving it and I second everything u said.

Don't really mean to derail the thread but it bothers me when people continue to question what another grown man wants to do with his money. FWIW it's pretty easy to rationalize spending another $5 to get more time. Here I'll explain. If you were one looking to get the game early via ebay, you would spend at least $20 over retail because of overnight shipping. That's with a decent seller. Or maybe you'd travel a distance to get it early, wasting gas. Then you have the people willing to spend even more, like over $100 to get it early. So with this as an alternative, if you spend $10 for 1 month of EA Access, with 2 accounts, not only can you play Madden early, but NHL and Fifa as well. Also BB is offering $25 credit for the Madden 25 trade in, so if I really cared about the extra $5 I'd make it back from that (which I will anyway because it's a good deal). For those who like to play games early because they're busier during the work week, this is a good option. It also saves the trouble of refreshing ebay and checking CL. So if my timer runs out, I really don't have any issue with paying another $5 for 6 more hours. I feel even better knowing it'll still be good to use for the other 2 games in a few weeks. I know I won't need more than 12 hrs. Then I cancel after the 1 month and I will have gotten double early access to 3 games for only $10.

A small, small portion of people are going to do this. I really don't see the big deal but that's just me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

The Seahwaks are WAY overpowered in Madden 15

# 196 colkilla @ 08/22/14 08:37 PM

I already have 3 extra profiles on my XB1 for my sons. Can I just use their GTs and play 6 more hours for $5? How do I do it? Thanks!
