    Can someone clear this up simply. If I have EA access and I download one of the vault games. Is that then mine for good?

    Only as long as you have Ea access. It's in the terms and conditions that EA can remove games from the vault, but they have said it's not something they intend to do.

    NHL 15 has been added.

    Brilliant. This will be worth the vault cost on its own for me

    Was just coming here to post that. Noticed it advertised on the Xbox store. Deadly! Loved that game for the 6 hour trial :D

    Finally! Been wanting an ice hockey game for years since nhl 95 on the megadrive But couldn't ever commit.

    Just read that this game has very poor reviews, maybe that's way it's in the vault.

    Lol, well kinda, myself and the younger brother used to play hours upon hours of the megadrive version, but then I moved out, he travelled etc etc so I never felt like I'd play much of it when it was just myself. Now that it's essentially free Im happy enough to give it a whirl

    Those reviews are generally based on the game initially released. This one has all updates included

    Delighted :)

    nhl 15, nba 15 and madden 15 - all 5/10 games if you ask me. Very meh about the EA Sports games lately. Fifa is just the same thing year in year out.

    The achievements set for these games are a loada ballix too

    Was thinking this wouldn't come until the Stanley Cup is over.

    I was enjoying my second run at the trial a few weeks back... Won 9 from 10 games.

    I like watching the NFL but can't get into the games, I don't know if they're playing man or zone, I never see blitzes and just generally suck but the hockey is easier to get into, very much like 5 a side soccer.

    Are NBA and Madden all free once you pay subscription for this?

    Just picked up my XB1 yesterday, so playing catch up a little.

    Yes these 8 games are yours to play fully once you have an active EA Access subscription:

    That's pretty damn sweet. Will be signing myself up to that later.

    Cheers!

    Well, there are two Maddens and NBA live so you could be forgiven for deducting 2 for that ...

    Oh man I wish! Another year minimum I'd say!

    Next game would be FIFA 15 I guess?

    Titanfall surely going to go in at some stage, I know they've said before that it wouln't, but they are all but giving it away free in the sales lately.

    Titanfall would be great, and could boost the numbers of players (I've been on when there are only 6,500 players globally recently - still a very fast, smooth game thanks to Dedicated Servers or "The Power of the Cloud (TM)" ).
    But EA don't own Titanfall, it's a Respawn game and they're an independent studio with a publishing deal with EA. Therefore it's is unlikely to go into the vault for all the complications that may bring.

    Fifa 15 on EA access now. It doesn't seem to be on the app but if you search for it on the store you get the install option

    Nice, will be deleting 14 and downloading that so....honestly why would anyone ever buy an EA sports game on release now :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    Now to go sell my copy of Fifa 15 LoL. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,213 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Brilliant!

    My gold is up for renewal and was gonna wait a month as I haven't had much time to play lately.. this changes my mind :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,363 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Wow. That's kind of crazy considering that FIFA 15 is still a fullprice game and still selling really well. Wonder if we'll get Hardline added in the build-up to the Battlefront launch.

    More and more EA Access is becoming a console selling point.

    Most EA games seem to use a f2p model anyway, the amount of money EA make back from Ultimate Team will be outrageous

    I wonder is the long term plan for Access something like that anyway?
