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.

People paying to play a Trial, and possibly paying multiple times to continue playing it throughout the weekend. Sounds like this may be what EA planned by not putting out an official Madden 15 demo.

A terrible precedent is being set here.

Mine gets stuck loading at the loading screen. After watching it sit there for 10 minutes, I gave up.

If that was the case we could by more time on our own gamertag.

That would be too blatant IMO.

You'd think you were circumventing the system by getting trials on multiple acconts, but I'd say it was designed that way (with that screenshot earlier is this thread kinda serving as proof). Either way, you're still giving EA a vote of confidence that this is the way to go with every $5 you spend.

If most people who get the game early pay $80-100 minimum. What's the difference if you pay an extra $5 or $10 to get more hours.

Plus it beats the shady sellers this year.

The difference is that the extra $5 is going to EA. The extra money to get the game early is not and I'm sure you know this so maybe I'm missing you contention.

Unless you were agreeing with him?

My bad I misunderstood him.

Still cheaper and better than season ticket. 12 hours is all I would play in three days. And that costs $10. Season ticket required $25 paid.

Can't wait for Dragon Age.

Close the game. Properly. Like hit the home button, start button, close. Then relaunch it.

Anyone else's download went or going painfully slow?

# 94 floggingsabrina @ 08/21/14 09:32 PM

Can you reup six more hours on the same account for $5 extra dollars, or only if you use different accounts.

# 95 boritter @ 08/21/14 09:33 PM

Does the 6 hour timer only run during actual games? Or does it run any time madden is running? Does the timer run while I adjust depth chart from main menu? Thanks.

# 96 DNMHIII @ 08/21/14 09:34 PM

Well, deleted it gonna try downloading it again. Such a waste of time and this is exactly why I buy the disk.

# 97 CujoMatty @ 08/21/14 09:34 PM

has anyone tried using another gamertag yet?

I hope you at least did a hard reset first.

# 99 iNolaNightmare @ 08/21/14 09:37 PM

I'm only at 21% but it says I can start. I don't wanna be stuck in the Seahawks and Panthers game tho, what should I do???

Several times and it just loads the game straight into the same spot it was frozen in every time
