Coinciding with the recent announcement that EA Access is now available to all Xbox One owners, EA revealed that it will not release a demo for the upcoming Madden NFL 15 (as it typically does for Madden every year). EA says this is because it chose to keep its focus on development of the game, rather than diverting resources to the creation of a demo. Given that EA Access offers early access to the company's games--Madden 15 being the first such game--it's going to be hard for fans to buy that excuse, and I can't blame them.
Chris Pereira: Was really excited for EA Access when it was first announced, and remain intrigued by parts of it. While Chris Pereira don't think anyone should be crazy about companies' attempts to take ownership out of our hands as consumers, this was positioned in an optional way.
Electronic Arts has unveiled how EA Access will be arriving on Steam and 'coming soon'.
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
It's been revealed that EA Access will be coming to Steam in the near future, as various EA games have been added to the storefront.
Its really wasnt necessary for them to include the demo only in EA access as it will not bode well with everyone , and am pretty sure they will do these from here on out with all their games . And anyway guys why do you keep buying these sports iterations every year , there is hardly any difference but you keep shelling out 60$ on a game that was 99% similar to the last one , sigh ...
Goodwill? Explain....
Huge Madden fan but will skip this Madden & prolly redbox it. Dont need publishers trying to tell me where to play a demo.
Looking forward to early access of madden 15.
Definitely the case with me. I am one who will play the demo to see if I purchase Madden. Because of the history with the game, no matter how many videos and hype trailers I see, I have to experience it. If I like what I play then I buy it. The same goes with FIFA except that it actually has some competition. If neither has a demo, chances are my money will go elsewhere.
