"EA Access" on Xbox One

Fingleberries

Madden 15 will not be coming in a hurry, Madden 25 (I know, numbering schemes, eh?) is still there for free and is supposed to serve as your gateway into all things Madden and get you to head out and buy Madden 15 if you want it.

Maybe in the Summer (at a push) they might add Madden 15.

NBA live 15 is currently down to €10.50 in the xbox sale.
They must be trying to squeeze a final few customers out of it before it goes to the vault

I only got access over the Christmas so this may have happened already but I'd be surprised if they added any games to the vault before the newest version was released. I know the NFL is done and dusted but I'd imagine they'll keep Madden 15 on sale for a good while longer yet, maybe drop the digital price to entice sales over the summer.

Same goes for FIFA, Battlefield, etc. Like, even though Hardline is about to come out, I'd say it'll be a good while before we see BF4 on access. Happy to be wrong though.

BF4 is on EA access, has been for months. They've even given away one of the expansions.

You're 100%. Christ, I even downloaded it...brain fade there! I'd still be surprised to see the big annual sports titles come out before the latest versions.

It's one of the problems with a digital backlog, very easy to forget. I've gone to buy a game before, only to find out that I already own it, and I'm ashamed to say that's happened far too often.

Great stuff.

Installing it now.

Just wondering , as I install it I see I still have the option to purchase it with 10% discount. I assume this applies as I could leave my membership of EA Access but are games ever removed from The Vault and will I eventually lose them if I stay a member?

They said they have no intentions of ever removing games from the vault. That was when they launched the service.

I'd say it's just so you can purchase it for if you decide against renewing your subscription.

Whats the verdict on NBA 15 and UFC lads? Anyone enjoying either of them?

I hope so. Didn't want to buy it after the reception it got but would love a hockey game to jump in and out of

The actual gameplay was supposed to be quite good. It was the lack of features that were the problem although these were added through updates

I liked NHL 15. I played a good chunk of my allocated 6 hours. Love starting fights in it

What do you mean by allocated 6 hours

You can preview EA games for 6 hours. A timed demo essentially.

That's pretty good isn't it. I just joined it last night. Played me some madden. Is battlefield 4 single player any good. I'm not much of an online shooter type

Its alright, plenty of bits that make no real sense and plenty of big explosions, but you'll remember very little of it when its finished.

the bug that randomly deletes your single player save is still in effect too, so be aware of that.

Madden 15 is now in the vault...deadly!!

Never more delighted to be wrong!! Game is only 7 months old, player updates mean it'll still be relevant until at least the new one comes out. I'm a big NFL fan but I'd never but Madden annually, one every 2/3 years. Only a real die-hard could justify buying the new one every year with this.

Just goes to show what great value Access is. For me, it's one of the Xbox's main advantages over the Playstation

NHL 15 is great. The gameplay is amazing. If you've played any of the previous versions though there's loads of content missing. They've gradually added stuff but it's still not nearly what it was. There still isn't even a tutorial which is bizarre in my eyes. Still, nabbed it for €30 in one of the digital sales so happy with that. Definitely not a full price game though as it is.

Downloaded it tonight and there are definitely tutorials. Lots of them.
