EA ACCESS

You see Doc, I think that's wishful thinking pal! I think the games are playable whilst they're in the vault. Once EA rotate titles the previous months titles become unavailable. Saying that, it's not as if there is an extensive library of titles to rotate!
Maybe they'll swap Madden for NBA and BF4 or FiFA for NFS Rivals...who knows?!

 

Think I will just wait and see, not into sports games much but got FIFA 14 included with console, already have BF4 so only Peggle 2 would be of interest initially. Interested to see what they add next though, may subscribe in the future

 

would It be possible to get an invite to the beta for the this via the preview program

 

I'm pretty sure all the vault games will be there indefinitely. That way you're still going to buy dlc and season passes as they're never going to be free.

Personally I think it's a fantastic service. I'm not really into the sports games too much but at least if a friend pops round and wants to play some FIFA its available.

It's hard to see the value in it at the moment for most people as they're going to have the games they're interested in. But in time as that vault grows it's going to be better value.

It's also cool because now I don't have to worry about games like BF Hardline as I wanted it, but more for the single player than the multiplayer. And hopefully within a year of release that should make it into the vault too.

As it stands at the moment, all the games in the Vault are less than a year old. And as I say, Season passes and DLC are where its at for things like this. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the "core" games becoming smaller and more DLC being pumped out.

 

EA pledge to keep games available in the vault once they have been added:

^Nice, very tempted when it becomes available to all. Thanks for the info.

 

Like most others I'll be signing up for this as soon as it's launched too. Good initial batch of games announced and the ability to try out newer full versions of upcoming games 5 days before launch (as you could on the previous season pass) is a real draw
too. Nice one EA and reasonably priced. What with this, Games with Gold and (he say's quietly) PS Plus, the number of games included with these services is, in my opinion, really good value for money. Which if you consider £35 for Xbox Live, £30 for PS Plus
and 19.99 for EA that's really only the cost of two games and I get way more than that each month.

 

I'm keeping my eye on this thread , keep coming back to see if anything really negative has been added , but so far it all seems pretty positive . Shall be giving it some serious thought when it's open to all .

 

Are invites still available for the preview program? Would really appreciate one if anyone has one?

 

Looks like this is now available to all , just had an email from EA about it inviting me to sign up and I'm not in the preview thingy

 

Yep deffo works, just signed up for the year and started downloading Fifa, it's a no brainier for me, I'll trade in my physical copy of Battlefield 4 for £14 so the scheme has only cost me £6 to try it out for a year and see if it has any hidden gremlins
they are not telling us.

 

Shame you can't use the credit on your live account to purchase it

 

Bought mine for a year great value great deal , well done EA and lol @ Sony saying it wasnt goodenough for their users LOOL

 

Can't play BF4, it asks for disc. Rechecked on the access hub and BF4 is now not free just 10% discount. EA rip off already?

 

Its a known issue with BF4 that they are working to resolve as quickly as possible.
