EA Access – Review

"EA Access has come out about a week ago, so it’s time to review it. If you wouldn’t know EA Access, it’s a subscription service exclusively for Xbox One by Electronic Arts which comes with FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Battlefield 4 (without DLCs) and Peggle 2. The fee of the service is either monthly or yearly, either $4.99 for a month or $29.99 for a year." - Gamerspost

Good deal, for about the same price that I could find BF4 on sale for, I can also have 3 other games with more coming and early access to future games, win win.

[sonarus]

is it just me or does the page not work?

[mr233]

I can't get it either.

[4Sh0w]

Yeah if you like any of those games it's definitely a huge value and considering future games will be added it will only get better. I already had BF4 and the other games right now don't interest me but I got it anyway because I want to check out the early access part and save 10% on other EA games all year. Checking out Peggle, Fifa and Madden were just a bonus.

[come_bom]

I think EA should bring EA Access to the PC.

[Sayai jin]

I agree. I think everyone should have the option.

[MeliMel]

Nah keep it XB1 exclusive. Overhaul Origin for PC.

[Askanison4]

I thought this was a pretty dumb idea when I first read about it. Bought it (£20 for a year) on Sunday. Been playing Peggle 2 flat out :p

So far it seems like it will be excellent value for money.

[Benjammin25]

If you've got an Xbox One, it's great value for money. I can't believe I'm saying that about an EA service. Hope PS4 get something similar in the future. I don't play a lot of EA games but I would definitely avail of a service like this.

[s8anicslayer]

Got it last week and I've been playing all three with the exception of Peggle 2 because I already owned it, Sony was dumb to pass this up!

[StifflerK]

I've go it too, amazing value!

[Majin-vegeta]

Amazing deal for X1 owners :)

[mrpsychoticstalker]

More deals like this to come, Micro is big in relationships and they are definitely doing a good job with EA

[shinrock]

Yep, ever since they planted Peter Moore there!

[ThePope]

I got it and I love it. Its easy to use. That's the best part

[WeAreLegion]

Waiting for the page to come back. Hoping they add more non-sports titles in the future. Could not care less about their sports games.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

So I bought EA Access specifically to get Madden 25th and Fifa 14 on my Xbox digitally. I already had BF4 digitally as well as Peggle so the value for me strictly was in the two sports titles but also in the promise of the future updates of games.

So far... its as advertised. I have both Madden and Fifa downloaded on my machine and I login just as I always did but now without a disc. There are no funky extra steps... it plays just like if I had a disc. The real test will be how early access to some of the new games gets handled. If its smooth as it is so far...this is definitely a value.

[WeAreLegion]

Awesome! Thanks for the review. :)

[OC_MurphysLaw]

yup... $30 had me in day one. I had no issue with the price and offering.

[jablocanas]

Link doesn't work :P

[jablocanas]

Correction, link doesn't work on Mac/Safari...

[lemoncake]

The cost of a yearly subscription is perfectly priced, very hard to resist. Will be interesting to see how much loving the vault gets over the next few months.

[ghostface9]

You would have to not like any ea games to not want this already had peggle and got three games for 30 bucks plus whatever games come next

[Neixus]

Don't take me wrong, it's a good deal.

But why are people suddenly loving this? Thought people hated EA. I'm confused.

[Barnaby-Jones]

I think because it is a good deal. No need to hate on good deals.

[Neixus]

Well i didn't hate on it :x

I just find it weird how much shit EA gets for all the games, now everyones buying them.

[nirwanda]

Is it limited to so many games a year, if ea only give away last years sports games and the odd other game then I don't think it's that great.

[budd]

these are EA EMPLOYEES...FAKE POSTING...Y WOULD I PAY INTERNET,,XBOX GOLD,AND EA ACCESS....
L
=2ÁLOT OF MONEY...WHEN INTERNET ALREADY HIGH....

[Chris12]

Are you a Sony employee with a fake account? It's an optional service so if you don't like it then don't buy it. But don't knock those who think it's great value.

[Bzone24]

Lol. With that logic, why would you pay for internet, Xbox Live Gold/PSN and any games? I'm assuming you don't pay for Gold though since you say you are a PS4 and Wii U owner. So why's it matter to you?

[Macdaddy71]

Ok!!!
If a gamer pays for EA Access, n download madden and BF to play, And after a year n you don't won't Access no more... Are you able to keep the games or do you lose the Rights to play the games anymore?????

Why are some getting mad over calling it a demo!!! Full game or not, you only get to Demo the game before you have to pay Full price!!!!! EA not going to take $30 from a game n you pay the rest,.
It's a Demo no matter how you look at it, yes if you spend more money on release day you get full game...

[Grown Folks Talk]

You can play them as long as you're an active subscriber.

[user367272]

Great news for XB1 owners. I have a feeling this will be a success. Can't wait!!

[MCTJim]

Welp I agree with the author. Great Value and I keep what I have as long as my sub is paid. 30 bucks a year is a pittance for this awesome service.

[ShaqSoda]

Gonna get a year access in a few minutes now that I know it works and everything.

[Stryfeno2]

As a grad student, money has been really tight but Im thinking of diving in.

[Nathan170]

EA ACCESS is the proof that we could already have AAA (I'm sick of this term by the way,but don't know a better way to say it) games on ps4 ps plus!

[ghostface9]

Great article still cant believe sony is so greedy to not let this on their console.
