Electronic Arts Announces "EA Access" for XBOX One

NBA Live 15 is now (or will soon be) available as part of EA Access.

Good addition. Great gameplay.

I have heard a lot of speculation that Live has one more year. If this move doesn't boost sales next year then the game is done.

Following some initial reports, developer Visceral Games on Wednesday officially announced that EA Access members on Xbox One will get to play Battlefield Hardline on March 12, a full five days before the game launches to the public on March 17.

Madden NFL 15 is now available as part of EA Access.

Madden NFL 15 is now available as part of EA Access.

Wait, is that the most recent version that came out?

[JBHuskers]

Wait, is that the most recent version that came out?

Yep.

[souljahbill]

Yep.

Woooooooooow! I wouldn't think they'd put it in there until '16 came out.

[SmoothPancakes]

Sweet! I haven't been able to get too much into Madden lately, so I have pretty much written off any chance I'd spend money buying it. But I'll gladly give 15 a whirl as part of EA Access. Access is really starting to pay off!

[JBHuskers]

Especially when I can play Hardline on the 12th!

I will be purchasing Access sometime this summer. Still think Sony crapped the bed when they passed on this one...

That too! Access started off sort of "meh" with their initial 5 game selection or whatever it was. But it has really taken off as more games have been added to it (especially the more recent games).

Yeah, obviously Sony wants to push people into buying into PS Now, but they really missed out by pushing EA Access away.

Yeah. I do the $5 a month thing. It's a lot easier to ignore than an annual $30 payment

So you pay $60 a year, instead of $30 and think it's a good idea? Or do you pick and choose what months you want it at $5 a month?

#TheScriptIsDead

That's what I was wondering.

That's why I went with the annual, because it was half the full annual monthly rate.

#TheScriptIsDead

I pay $60 a year at $5 at a time and I'm fine with it.

Sheesh, JB.

Like I said, I barely notice when $5 automatically comes out.

[gschwendt]

So basically you're financing it at 100% interest rate...

[SmoothPancakes]

I don't notice it at all when $0 automatically comes out.
