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.

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.

I did last night too, but it doesn't work, checked today and it says only 30 minutes left, pulled the plug 3 hours in and played for 5 and a half.

Let them try lol. Madden is the only game I would pay to get early. Maybe it's the game of football that makes me crazy lol

1) Press the Glowing Xbox button (what is that called anyways? LOL)
2) With Madden highlighted - Hit the Start button
3) You will see a list of items come up like "Pin to Home", "Snap" , etc. One of these should be "Quit"
4) Select "quit" and the app will close - and more importantly the counter stops.

I havent tried it as im at work but from what I understand is you enter the trial then when your in the game sign out then sign in with your gamer tag and you can continue.

Heads Up: If you're at anytime unhappy with your EA Access, Microsoft will cancel it and issue you a refund, no questions asked. I just got one because I flubbed my 6 hours by not closing the application... I'll just re-up the sub on another XBL account.

This works, just tried it. Of course time still ticks though.

But that's how it should be with a good product. If the game sucked, EA would lose a lot of money so I don't see the problem.

So the timer still ticks whether you're online or not?

I tried this but forgot step 6. am I out of luck and need to try again with a different account? it says "trial expired" even on my new account.

also, do i need to sign out completely of my main account before I do step 1, or do i just go to switch profile then add new from my main account?

As I stated on the last page, if that's too complicated, contact Microsoft Support and cancel your EA Access sub. They'll cancel it and issue you a refund if you're unhappy with the service (or at least say you are). Then re-up on another account.

Don't think it's possible. It will just tell you everytime you start it up that you have under "X" hours or minutes left.

Don't do ANY of the steps. Go to Xbox.com, click "Support", and Chat with an agent. Tell them you want to cancel EA Access, and then buy it on another account.

# 220 dk6663 @ 08/23/14 11:06 PM

Yes, you have to long out of the other account for it to work
