    any sign of Fifa 18 in the vault?
    Normally about the end of April - tie in with the end of the Footy seasons in most places.

    Been waiting for NHL to sort my sporting fix.

    FIFA is thrash this year and while I like NFL as a sport the game is difficult to get into depth wise.

    NHL should tie me over for a while.

    Rory McIlroy Small Ball 18 Holes sporty thingy is being removed from the vault, presumably for some licensing issues, as it's also being removed from sale.

    See here.

    Funny how they don't advertise that a game is leaving as much as they trumpet whenever a game is added.

    I was of the impression once games went into the vault they were there for good. I obviously misinterpreted it.

    This isn't even the first game to be removed. All the 2014 sports games were removed when EA shut down the servers.

    EA are ruthless when it comes to shutting down servers. Don't think I know of any other company that does something so aggressively.

    My EA access is up for renewal next month and Rory McIlroy golf is the game I play the most on it. I may have to find a physical copy of the game now and not bother renewing my subscription at the moment

    Meh, it’s no loss really. Exact same gameplay as an old tiger game I remember playing plus I thought the graphics were quite poor imo

    As I’m not really playing titanfall anymore I’m thinking I won’t be renewing my sub either. It doesn’t run out until December either way so I’ve time to get through Dead Space

    Are they, they still have servers up for almost decade old titles. If the player base isn't there or there are issues with licensing you can hardly expect the servers to be kept up.

    They're much worse for it than almost any other gaming company that I know of. They even have a history of games they've shut down on their website.

    In fairness, 2014 only looks that bad because Gamespy shutdown. Most other companies made some effort to save games though..... except Nintendo.

    I wonder if we'll have to wait a little longer this year - there's a big, free "World Cup" add-on for FIFA coming on May 29 - rather than a separate World Cup cash-in game.

    They might hold off on going to the Vault until after this (and perhaps closer to the kick-off of the competition)

    It's good they keep a record, at least then you can check if the online is still active when buying an older game. Personally, I have no problem with them removing servers or older games due to low player base or licensing issues. In many cases there are still unofficial servers online that you can play so it's not like it's always the end. The current state of Lawbreakers shows that sometimes the kindest thing can be to pull the plug.

    Oh yeah, never affected me personally, but it'll still suck for anyone that's still playing and doesn't have the know-how to get onto an unofficial server.

    At the end of the day, these companies are businesses, and they have to make a profit.

    I mean, I'm still waiting for another actual Syndicate game. Don't understand why they don't just make an AA game, like Grow Home, or even A Way Out, instead of trying to turn it into some kind of franchise.

    Rory McIlroy PGA tour is still working for me even though it was supposed to be removed on the 22nd.

    Has Need for Speed Payback flown under the radar for being released on Access? I'm able to download it now and haven't seen a post about it being available.

    Seems to be available to play alright!
    I've had it installed, not bought, since the trial and i just booted into it and it went straight in, without telling me that I had x amount of trial time left!

    Might have jumped the gun early, with E3 being so soon :)

    They're not in the actual vault yet, but if you go to the game hub, then you can install them. It's happened a few times now where it becomes available to download, but doesn't appear in the vault for a while.

    Search both games on the store on the dashboard and both should have an "install" option if you're subscribed to EA access.

    Need for Speed is in the Vault, FIFA 18 is not. FIFA 18 seems to be on an Xbox Live Gold free to play weekend.

    Yes, this seems to be the case, thanks for clearing it up. Wonder if they'll time FIFA 18 hitting the vault with the start of the world cup.
