There are more games than just Fifa 14. As of what we know, 4 games are launching with EA Access. These games total up $200+ if you buy them each individually. With that in mind, more games will be added which would make that number increase. I'd would rather pay $30 to play all these games for a whole year rather than spend $200+ for all of them


This part is awesome. $5 a month or $30 a year to play a game 5 days before it comes out sounds awesome. On top of that, you get a variety of titles you can download and play.
When fifa 15 is out will fifa 14 be worth 50$?? I'm sure I can pick up fifa battlefield madden and the other game piggle for alot less then full price now as they are at the end of there time almost and as for future games you do not get the full game you get to play the game for 5 days then when it is released you have to pay for the game... Exactly like the season ticket from before

You're complaining that you're able to try a game for 2 hours five days before release?

Your logic is flawed. You're trying to make this service look bad when you really know nothing about it. I'm done arguing.

i didnt say it was for 2 hours ? i know you get the game for 5 days but then you have to buy it .. so you paid 5$ to rent it for 5 days basically .. there is good from this service that you get the game 5 days early and the fact you get 10% of any ea game but myself personally would be paying 30$ and then buy fifa and bf hardline and get 10% of both games a saving of $12 but then i would still have spent another $18 on the season pass thing ... its totally up to anyone how they look at this but to me it seems like they are not actually giving as good as it seems .... i dont think its worth paying 30$ to get the game 5 days early and then have to pay another $60 to buy the game anyway .. but oh wait i get another copy of fifa 14 and bf4 that i already paid 60$ each :/

Sounds like an interesting service. Depending on the library of games (and how frequently it's updated) it could be a good deal.

Can't wait to hear more details, because this doesn't sound like typical EA! :wink:

Well it's no different the PS+ or GwG games, typically they aren't new releases if they are AAA/big name games.

Brand new, the library announced is over $200 though (including tax)

Obviously, it can be cheaper if you trade in your old games you don't play anymore, buy used copies on craigslist/ebay, and even get more value after selling the games when you are done with them.

$70 seems extremely low though. Doing a quick Ebay search, I got these numbers based off the average price off near-closing auctions.

Fifa 14 - ~$30 used
Madden 25 - ~$25 used
BF4 - ~$25 used
Peggle 2 (can't buy used, digital only) $13

So about $100 for everything. Which if you were to trade in old games towards this and eventually sell these games, you get an even better deal. Probably somewhere around the price of this service.

With all that being said, some people just like digital. Everyday people are dropping $59.99 on digital copies, even though they cannot resell their copies or lend them to a friend (without abusing license transferring). For those people, this service probably sounds awesome.

The biggest thing though is how often they update this library of games. That will be the key in the value of this service. So I'll be holding off opinions until we get more details.

Yeah I get what your saying but we all get games for gold 2 free games each month of we pay for live and those games are not too value games, seems like ea are trying to do the same thing but give us better value games but games that we will always already own, example fifa every year everyone will own that them come the end of the subscription they'll over you fifa 15 to renew seems pointless in that sense if it's the sort of games we are being offered... And I defiantly can't see them giving you a new game Thats worth 60$ :/ regardless I will probably but the subscription as I buy my games digital so will get 12$ back when I buy fifa and bf hardline also will save a bit on packs :smile: so I'm not against it in that sense just don't like how they are trying to make it look better then it is :/

Even though I have two of those games, ill be a day one buyer! EA is turning around their company.

I don't see how making you pay 30$ yearly on top of 60$ xbl sub, to access to 4 games now worth <30$, with no DLC or microtransactions included, for 'old' yearly games with yearly sequels nearing release, good, let alone meaning turning around their company.

Those who wanted it, already have it, just 'shoving' the crap down someone's throat under a new name imo. Simple window dressing where gullible customers fall for it.

This is FAR From turning around imo.

The make or break is the amount of titles and how frequent new titles will be added.

It's almost the same as the season ticket. Except this time you pay £20 for a years subscription which gives you unlimited play time on madden FIFA battlefield etc for the year. Plus 10% discount on dlc and also if you decide to say purchase FIFA you get 10% off its digital price. Say what you want about Ea but this is fantastic.

mines worked fine. I already have Fifa 14 and BF4. Not a fan of Madden but I would like to subscribe to see if the DLC applies to fifa in the context that it works.

Did you have to pay for EA access since its in beta or was it free?
