Madden NFL 17 Trial Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Play For 10 Hours

08:27 PM - August 17, 2016 by Steve_OS

The trial version of Madden NFL 17 is available now for EA Access subscribers.

NOTE: It appears as though it isn't showing up for everyone in the EA Access hub. If you don’t see Madden NFL 17 in the hub, try searching for it in the Store, then download the trial or try a few tips from OS readers in this thread.

UPDATE: (8-18) It looks like users that pre-ordered and pre-downloaded are having issues accessing it. Hopefully EA and Microsoft can get that fixed sometime today.

REMINDER: You get 10 hours of gameplay, so make sure you exit out of the game if you are not playing. Don't pause and lose those precious minutes.

For those of you that can download it, play a few games and let us know what you think!

I pre-ordered and pre-downloaded the earlier today. But I'm still not seeing a "Trial Now" tab on it's games hub. So I'm assuming us who pre-downloaded digitally can't play till tomorrow the 18th?

I had to buy a month of ea access for it to work. I pre ordered the digital version. Try this. Buy a month go to madden 17 in ea access look for game details click and you should see free trial click it once.

Of course you did. How did you expect it to work without having EA Access? It's an EA Access Early Access trial.

Was preordering the digital version supposed to give you a free month ahead of time? I got the One S bundle so I haven't been following it.

Have been playing 16 up until now and graphics do seem a tad bit better.

I searched Madden 17 clicked on it were it said free trial and it started downloading

For those that have it downloaded, could you upload a video scrolling through the free agents at each position? I'm a nerd and want to see all my options for my CFM.

Thanks in advance

Also sorry for repeating this request, just want my day at work tomorrow to be enjoyable lol

When does the 10 hours begin. Like if I look through the rosters does that count as playing the game. Hope that make sense.

It starts when you launch the game. It tells you you're on the clock. Make sure you exit the app though so you don't get docked time.

I finally in but not on my main account... I had to share Xbox Live gold on my Xbox, make another account, and buy a 1 month pre-paid code EA Access from CDKeys. Hopefully my main account will unlock the trial tomorrow so I can have 20 hours of gameplay!
