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.

So if I spend 5$ I get another 6 hours? Can I use the same gamertag even though I have to buy it through another gamertag?

I would also like to know that before I expire the time I have left on my early access

Can anyone help with this question?

Thanks.

Just want to post my initial impressions after playing 3 games in All-Madden. I would give the game a 9/10. To me, All-Madden feels right. I don't feel the need for slider adjustments so far. I went 2-1. 24-21 win using the Skins vs Cowboys, 28-21 loss using the Broncos vs Seahawks which to me, the Seahawks felt like how a team with their caliber should feel like playing against them, and a 32-21 win using the Browns (Manziel) vs Jags (Bortles). I also played 6 minute quarters with 25 second run off and each game took about an hour so I'm halfway into my trial : (

I'm looking forward to getting the retail copy next Tuesday! If anyone wants to play friendly matches, hmu on Xbox GT is Izzy Snow HD. On PS4, Izzy_Snow_HD. Enjoy the game OS folks!

Wait it out. I went into mine when it said ready to start. You can literally only play the seahawks/panthers game. You cant even really access anything else. I played for about 20 minutes just to get a feel for it, I came away impressed, then shut it down so I can play with my phins... if it ever finishes downloading lol Damn my internet sucks.

# 111 IrOnKoBe @ 08/21/14 10:06 PM

# 112 floggingsabrina @ 08/21/14 10:11 PM

# 113 Triggerfish @ 08/21/14 10:19 PM

yes you can... It's explained in this thread...

# 116 rd1981 @ 08/21/14 11:39 PM

6 hours is garbage, that will be finished by tomorrow if not tonight.

the game is dope though, it look a lot better than it did last year. I didn't really play madden 25 as much, I guess because I just got bored with it. This year, I can say the game is fun to play.

the first things that jumped out that I like so far;

I can finally break through the O-Line to attempt to sack the QB

pressing the up or down to change camera angle is perfect

the presentation and transitions are good

# 117 iNolaNightmare @ 08/21/14 11:49 PM

I set the stop watch on my phone for when I started it up and then paused it for when I got off. This should help out. Don't think I'll be able to put in all 6, honestly, as I've got a busy weekend. But I'm very impressed so far.

The uniforms are getting to me though. The wrinkles are a tad much, honestly. And as I posted in the Uniform Error thread, they got the color of the numbers on the Saints black jerseys COMPLETELY wrong. It's such an eye-sore that I can hardly concentrate. Other than that, I'm loving it.

I only really did quick play and right now it looks like every QB has same stance/throwing motion. That's frustrating. Player lock is fun, but I think it could get overpowered and abused on the D-Line. Zone coverage is freaking great, as the CPU will generate lots of int's and pbu's until you get the hang of it.

The three times I went to stiff arm in the open field I fumbled. Thought that was odd. Screen passes get locked down for the most part. Running the ball isn't really easy but breaking it to the outside will still be abused and hard to stop.

One last note before I hit the hay: Brandin Cooks is so freakin fun to play with!!!! Really shows how speed can play a factor this year.

I only signed up for EA Access because I didn't realize it was only 6 hours of gametime that I'd get. It was advertised as 5 days early access. Not a 6 hour trial. To support this is to set a horrible precedent in the gaming industry "Pay for time". EA is a freaking joke for this. I didn't have much, if any respect for them as it was, and this certainly didn't help them in my eyes.

I hope you aren't buying the game then so you can continue to fight the power.

Here is a step by step way to buy more time. It takes about 15-20 minutes to do but it works.

1) Click on the sign in section of the homepage
2) Go to "Add New" and enter all of the information (new username, email etc.) to register
3) Go to the MS Store and select EA Access Hub
4) Enter the Hub and fill out the information (You may need to register a new Origin account and enter your credit card info (which takes awhile).
5) Purchase EA Access.
6) Shut down your console and restart it.
7) Sign in w/ the new user account and go to the EA Access and select Madden 15.
8) The game will temporarily act as if it is going to install but then immediately switch to "Play Trial"

The game should start under the new username and you should have 6 more hours.
