EA Access coming to PS4

I jumped for this - €24 for a year is amazing value, and there's a fair few games i'd have an interest in.

Already downloaded Burnout & UFC 3. Bit of a shame Rory McIlroy's Golf game got pulled.

Are the Madden games much good lads, for a fella with virtually zero clue about the sport?

The Madden story mode is fun for someone with little knowledge, kinda like Friday night lights if you ever watched that show.

Yeah, the Madden games are made for all audiences. The commentator talks you through what's happening, they're great fun, especially for couch multiplayer.

Great drinking game too, as there's lots of breaks in the action

I remember playing madden on the mega drive i think bit the action stopping every 10 seconds and having to pick plays went over my head. Just kept picking hail mary and trying to catch the long ball. Don't think American foosball is for me but ye've made me want to try madden 19 to see what it's like of that's open to noobs.

Normal madden is as daft as the real sport but the story is fun. If you played the journey in fifa it is similar.

An absolute shadow of the ME trilogy, i think that's what makes it worse.

Yep I enjoyed the 1st 2 immensely that's why i'd stayed away from this

Yeah, I'm in 2 minds about downloading Andromeda again. I got as far as the second(?) planet and gave up. Just nothing memorable about it, and it didn't urge me forward like the original trilogy. Don't know if I've left enough time since playing it to give it another go.

Same with Dragon Age Inquisition, couldn't finish it when it originally came out, downloaded it 2 nights ago and played the intro, have no interest in going back since.

While I still think it's fantastic value, we need more games in there as over half are sports. Is it the same price on Xbox?

Same price but because the Xbox has back compatabity they can add a few 360 games

Anthem has been added to EA Access today. The full game, not the 10 hour trial which has been there for a while

NHL 20 trial is there now too if any wants to give it a 10-hour blast.

Played a couple of hours of Anthem this evening.

To be honest I’ve well got my €25 worth out of EA Access between FIFA, battlefield V and now this.

Amazing value if you’re a little behind on latest releases like I am and don’t want / need the very latest version of a sports game etc..

Need for Speed Heat 10 hour trial is live. 30GB download.

Jerichoholic

10 hours should be plenty.

Jerichoholic

It's pretty good so far. So much better than the last few for sure.

There'll be no 10hr trial period for new Star Wars game on EA Access

Yeah, saw they said that instead you can still get 10% discount and exclusive dlc cosmetic items. It's a pity they didn't even give a 15 minute linear area to show off combat and traversal. I've zero interest in star wars but like the look of it, could really have done with the trial.

As for the NFS trial being locked, a lot of people complaining on twitter. PlayStation say it's normal for trials to lock when games release but others say not true. I was still planning on trying fifa 20 at some point.

Jerichoholic

Was wondering what happened to my trial. What a load of ****e that 10 hour trial is.

Latest Madden game due to drop onto Access today

It's a good thing it's only €25 for the year, if you're not into Sports games it's nearly not worth it.

It is worth it though, whether you play sports games or not.

That's why I said nearly.

Sorry for bumping when there hasn't been an update but they really need to add a game soon! NFS Heat, NHL 20, Fifa 20 should be coming soon. Star Wars would be a nice addition but can't see that happening til next year.

I keep forgetting I have this! Has completely removed any hint of maybe getting Heat again, or Jedi Order at all. I'll just wait. Noice!

NHL 20 was added to the vault on the 29th April.

Absolutely the same. Played about 10 - 15 hours of Anthem and I’d say a similar amount of various sports games and Need for Speed’s, so got my money’s worth for the year.

Good to see fifa added. A mate of mine has been on at me to buy that for ages.

Nearly bought NBA 2020 earlier for a fiver in the sale and then though wtf am I doin I have a version of it on access. I couldn’t care less if it’s two seasons ago. It’s basketball. I won’t notice the difference ffs!
