If you pre-order Rory McIlroy PGA Tour through Amazon and are enrolled in Amazon Prime, you'll receive $10 off in addition to the pre-order bonus of TPC Scottsdale and release day delivery. You won't see the discount until you get to the final checkout page.

For those who are interested in the title but had reservations about the game due to a limited (at least at launch) course and golfer listing, this promotion makes the game investment significantly more tolerable. It is unknown how long this promotion will be in effect.

In other PGA TOUR news: As speculated by the community for months, it is now confirmed that the game will not be a yearly title. However, the development team has plans for free content down the line for the title which apparently include courses, as noted by several tweets this afternoon from the product's account. ...

A point of concern since the EA Access service was announced, the actual amount of pre-release gametime with Madden NFL 15 will be "six gameplay hours." This comes via the EA Access Twitter account in response to a question from an assumed customer of the service.

EA Access costs $4.99 a month (or $30 a year) and allows users to play older EA titles for free while also giving them five days of early access to new EA titles. While a limited playtime makes sense for games with a storyline (Dragon's Age, Battlefield, etc.), many sports gamers have expressed disgust at going from unlimited three day playing time with EA SPORTS Season Ticket to now six hours over five days. (Season Ticket returns to PS3/360 this year.)

EA Access is only available on Microsoft's Xbox One as Sony (PlayStation 4) allegedly declined carrying the program, citing it a poor value for consumers. With full details now available, do you agree with Sony's decision? Continue on to share your opinion and to see some initial reactions to this time limit via Twitter. ...

After a week of rumors on a possible release date for a Madden NFL 15 demo and then if one will even be available, it was confirmed today on Twitter by Community Manager Andrew Johnson that there will not be a demo for the game.

With EA Access now available for all Xbox One users, those who wish to play Madden NFL 15 (PS4 & XB1) will need to sign up for the subscription service. EA Access will allow users to play the game five days early, however there has no word on if there will be any limits to the amount of time played in that period.

Will the lack of a demo hurt your interest in the title? If on Xbox One, does this news make you more likely to subscribe to EA Access? Share your thoughts with the community. ...

As you probably already know, NCAA Football 14 will add a popular feature from other franchises called Ultimate Team (NFUT for short). As part of that, those that love the mode (or love a particular college team) are looking forward to seeing some of their favorite all-time legends take the collegiate field again. One of those that immediately springs to mind to almost everyone would be Auburn's Bo Jackson.

Kotaku's Owen Good has an article with all of the details about Jackson's history as well as comments from EA once they were able to secure him into the game.

When he visited our television sets a generation ago he came to us in two different forms, one of them human. In his time he was unmistakably the best athlete of both realms, and his latter manifestation—the indestructible, immortal, and still unstoppable Video Game Bo Jackson—returns to the field next week.

Fans of the EASPORTS NCAA Football series have long asked for some sort of a playoff system in the Dynasty mode, if nothing else than to spice up the postseason play that is run by a pseudo BCS system. Ultimately that decision most likely comes down to the NCAA rather than EASPORTS itself. With the recent announcement of the College Football Playoff, some were hoping that NCAA Football 14 would have a playoff system implemented. Today we find out that it will not.
