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.

If you still can not play shut down your Xbox completely and reboot

Yeah I left twice and it let me back in both times now the 3rd time its saying do I own the game...

If it is broken for me, I just wanted to test a few things then try and see if I can make a template to overlap that new IRL Game Footage walk-up for the quarterbacks with Madden 25/15 footage. I don't feel like getting copyright strikes from the NFL.

Mine keeps backing out of the installing process at 15%.... I keep having to sign in, then it says installation stopped....I'm getting irked, my connection is fine.

See if the full game trial was unlimited they wouldn't have any of these issues, b/c they put a cap on it it's probably costing them more money by paying people to fix the issues. Maybe they will learn from this for the future.

Hard to say, kind of a reach. Even unlimited it still has to be able to expire when the game is released.

Yea but would be less coding and restrictions for the devs to worry about.

# 68 vagrantwade @ 08/21/14 05:34 PM

Hard reset your console if you have issues.

# 69 B1MM3R @ 08/21/14 05:34 PM

Or they could just remove it all together the day of the release date which would be easier than coding in for the 6 hours.

I really hate the new play calling system. I feel the changes were made just as hey we changed it were cool. When there was no need to.
Game also seems a lot slower on field and players feel more stiff.

Other then that presentation and everything else seems great

Edit: after a few more games it does seem to be a smoother better game but the play calling is still awful

Can anyone that's played both compare this Madden to APF 2k8. In terms of gameplay does Madden finally stack up, is it as sim? Graphics and presentation are nonfactors for me. Haven't bought Madden in awhile, but I'm really itching to get more games on the XB1 so if someone could compare the two that would be great. thanks.

# 73 nascar163 @ 08/21/14 05:40 PM

Sounds like user error.

# 75 nmeurett @ 08/21/14 05:44 PM

My bad turns out if you unplug the power from your xbox one and plug it back in you have to then also unplug from the outlet as well to get it to turn back on...

I was willing to pay up to 100 to get the game early so if I cant get it Fri or Sat. I'm willing to pay 10 or 20 bucks more to keep playing.

# 77 brandon27 @ 08/21/14 05:46 PM

Man, this sucks. My download is only at 22% and I started it back at like 1pm. It says its ready to launch... I wonder if I should just launch it anyways. Just worried about it eating up my 6 hours.

# 78 B1MM3R @ 08/21/14 05:51 PM

I see your point aholbert 32, just not worth extra money to me.
Brandon27 just launch it and if don't have access to everything you want, close it out and it won't eat your time.

Is the game that good?

# 80 MAXIPAD2K @ 08/21/14 05:52 PM

Funny thing about this is it probably would have been loads easier on EA's part to not put a time limit... They must be scrambling trying to fix all the issues regarding people not being able to re-access etc...
