DAI has real time combat. It's not point and click unless you want it to be. The biggest weakness of DAI is how long it is and how much filler the side quests have. I think an underrated aspect is the ability to control any of the 4 people in your party which can have a bunch of different skills.Quote:

"We're investigating adding backwards compatible EA games to EA Access in the future," EA said in response. "Stay tuned."
EA Access is the Xbox One-only membership program which, along with early access and discounts on digital content, offers subscribers unlimited access to a selection of EA games. Presently, these are Xbox One games, but with Microsoft's announcement of backwards compatibility--available now for preview program members, and November for everyone else--Xbox 360 games now seem like a possibility.

That would be a neat combo.Quote:

Slightly annoying... I can only get EA ACCESS if I have a credit card. They will not let me use my $$$ from my xbox account (gift cards). Since it is an automatic renewal they need a way to get your money. Anyways rant over.
Madden NFL 16 is now available for EA Access subscribers.
For those of you with XB1 I strongly recommend getting EA Access. I got the year pass for $30. I have already played NHL 15 for 10 hours in the last 4 days. All that cost me was like the equivalent of less than $3.00. Now I am Downloading Madden 16 for 10 hours of gameplay. This is currently the best value service for consoles right now IMO. Peggle 2, Plants vs Zombies, Dragon Age, Need for Speed, etc are all on my list to D/L at some point.
SONY blew it and I read today that they have no interest in getting the service in the future. That will cost them money because if I buy an EA sports title I will most likely buy it for XBOX1 so I can transfer over my saved files.

In my opinion this is a TRUE definition of a monopoly. Not only does EA have the rights to the NFL game, they also decide the release date, then they pick when you can get early access and how much access you can have. In the past mom and pop stores would give out copies early or sell them early and EA would get really upset. Now EA is doing the same thing mom and pop stores where doing but limiting how much you can use the "drug".
10 hours? I could play A HELL OF A LOT more than 10 hours in-between now and the 26th! 7 days until the game comes out, 10 hours? If I played more than 1 hour per day and a few hours on the weekend it would be shot.
It seems like in the not so near future EA will allow FULL Early access for a really pretty penny....
MONOPOLY! :easy:$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yeah I would love it if the EA Access was like the old season pass where you got the full game three days early. That said, 10 hours will allow me to know whether I will buy or pass this year. Right now I am in the pass camp. However, if the wr/db interactions make the game amazing then I will purchase.Quote:

* CFM scouting & combine / CFM draft
* year two of CFM (players, uniforms, commentary, etc.)
That's not a monopoly though based on release date. All games and movies have street dates and when mom and pop stores violate them they can get themselves in trouble with the company where they get fined or don't get any more movies and games to sell.
The actual release date can also be suggested by the NFL. I know for baseball games mlb does not allow them to release any earlier than the first Tuesday of March. The actual nfl influences quite a few things in game development.
Battlefield Hardline coming to The Vault in October.
I'm seeing people mention that NBA LIVE 16 is now available on EA Access for a 10-hour trial.
The Vault alone makes this service amazing
Battlefield Hardline is now available in The Vault.
No proof yet, but hearing Star Wars Battlefront is now available for the 10-hour trial on EA Access.
EDIT - This is confirmed. Battlefront trial now available.
EA Access members can buy Live 16 for $20.
I am unsure what other deals exist right now for Access members on other titles. If someone who is a subscriber could look and post them, that'd be great.
I'll try to take a look tonight.Quote:

PastaPadre is reporting that Madden 16 will be in the vault Feb. 2nd
Edit: Ninja'd by a few hours :D
I'm seeing reports that Unravel is now available for the limited trial on EA Access.
Yes it is.

The time-limited 10-hour trial offers subscribers access to the first two levels, with progress able to be carried over to the full game should you decide to pick it up next week.
NHL 16 comes to The Vault on March 29.
Nice! Looking forward to getting back into my ne a pro mode. Now if only FIFA would get their game out there as I need to get on with my Crystal Palace career.Quote:

EA has announced that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, the publisher’s latest golf title, is headed to the EA Access vault next week. On May 10, the game will join the growing list of EA titles available to EA Access subscribers.
I really wish Sony would give me this option.
Finally! I've wanted to try out Rory PGA Tour but never was sure enough about it to spend $60 on it. Been waiting a while for this game to pop up on Access.
Need for Speed and Unravel are now in the vault.
A cool thing I noticed last night, new games in the EA Access vault automatically show up as Ready to Install in your My Games and Apps section. I was checking on the install progress of Just Cause 3 when I saw I had two games ready to install, Need for Speed and Unravel, without having to even go into the EA Access app.

Oh nice, that must be new or I never noticed it.Quote:

That is a very nice feature, just like the backwards compatibility showing up there too.Quote:

Quick Question are the two Battlefield games single players any fun?
I don't have an xbone or EA Access but I do have both of the Battlefield games you're referring to. I've only played a few chapters on Hardline but I'd say it's good. Haven't touched the single player on the other game yet.
