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

03:33 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 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.

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

You need to make sure that you sign out of the gamertag that the first early access was created on, then log into the 2nd account you made and it'll work. After you fire up 15 on the new gamertage you can change back to the 1st gamertage and pickup where you left off.

I did this today and it worked perfectly.

Yes... You press the "View" button once you are on the menu to change profiles.

6 hours was definitely not enough time for 5 days though. Once you get through the intro and learn some of the new things in skills trainer, finally play a game your over an hour.

# 231 mestevo @ 08/24/14 12:39 PM

I've probably got 2-3 hours left and might not get back to it before release thanks to Diablo.

# 232 THE_BG @ 08/24/14 01:48 PM

If Microsoft cancels the EA access subscription on your account. And you resubscibe on same account does the timer restart?

# 233 mestevo @ 08/24/14 02:31 PM

Ms is probably just canceling the billing, I wouldn't expect that to affect the time

I got sucked into my offline cfm last night I'm tapped out May just have to purchase EA Access on my wife's GT and cancel it next week.

# 236 icethorzeus @ 08/24/14 04:18 PM

I have purchased twice and just created a new gamertag since I could not get early copy. I was willing to pay 85.00 anyway, since I am retired I play video games all day for the most part.

I don't know... But to be safe, do it on another account. You can still play on your main account by switching profiles on the Madden 15 menu.

Ran out of time in the middle of a preseason game, mid play even! The game just shut down and said your out of time!! LOL Good thing it saves through out the game so I can pick up near where I left off Tuesday.

I haven't been in the loop the past few days, but how do I go about getting the digital version of Madden 15 on the XB1? Do I have to pre-order and where do I go?
