"EA Access" on Xbox One

They are definitely there on mine. I know this doesn't help you a lot but at least you know the should be there for definite.

What's the best way to invoke their help?

Try and search for the missing games through the xbox store. It might give you an option to download them from there.

Have you tried to restart the Xbox JoyPad?

it might kick in the entitlements after a restart.

Tap left on the front screen, go down to the settings cog and pick Restart Xbox.

Do you have parental controls activated on the Xbox?

That's what I was thinking might be the cause.

I am the parent of a 12yo. I've set it so that he is not shown games rated 16 or above. With that activated, he needed my permission to play Halo 5. I logged in with my account to give that permission.

His account is also set to not allow purchases, and I log in with my account for those as well.

But:
1. I was definitely signed in with my own account to purchase EA Access subscription.
2. Why would it show me Battlefront (rated 16), but not others?

I'll have another look when I get home tonight. It was pretty late last night when I did the stuff, and didn't have much time to peek around.

Any joy with it last night, JoyPad?

Yep. I went and removed restrictions from my son's account, and that fixed it. After starting the downloads, I re-enacted the restrictions.

I'd be hoping to see Rory PGA Tour soon enough, Fifa 16 is probably a few months away (Fifa 15 was added in May, would guess similar for 16)

Have loved EA access since I signed up to it almost a year ago - just wondering - does anyone have any inkling when there will be new games in the Vault -
From what I remember they were going to add one a month - or maybe its just my imagination :-)

I'm thinking that games like Fifa16 should be going in there soon. What do people think ?

Going by last year, FIFA 15 went in about April / Easter timeframe. Enough to get people on board around the end of the season and squeeze out some extra Ultimate Team points

I'd agree that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour seems the most likely to go into the Vault next, before FIFA.

I don't think they said that it would be monthly - that was Microsoft talking about adding new Backwards Compatible games - but they did say once games went in that the plan was that they would stay there.

There was some talk online that EA might look to use their back catalogue of Xbox 360 titles as a way to pad out the vault, which is fine by me, because there are quite a few good games in there that I haven't played yet. I'd say they just need to work out how to do the licencing of the games technically (so you lose access if you're no longer an EA Access subscriber).

I'd say myself it will be madden 16 next.seasons wrapping up soon and for any1 in doubt it's the first one in years that I have bought and really enjoyed it.def worth downloading when it becomes free

Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to find a good difficulty setting. The Rookie level is too easy, I win shutouts. Then Pro, the next level, is too damn hard. Attacking is difficult, but it's a nice challenge. Defending is impossible, the AI seems to convert every 3rd down if I'm ahead. I can only win if I manage to time my last attack to score as time runs out, and the game shouldn't be about that.

I must be getting old. I used to play on Madden level back in 2005.

Download the EA Access Hub app and play games in the EA Access Vault for free from 19-24 Jan

Unravel 10 hours early access starts 4th Feb

http://www.unravelgame.com/unravel-origin-ea-access.html

Note:

"The Play First Trial for Unravel includes the first two levels, and should take most players around two hours to complete without spoiling all of its surprises. You can play the trial for ten hours, though, if you want to spend some extra time searching for secrets and adventuring with Yarny."

Yeah, I reckon it's probably a short enough game that the 10 hours trial might see people be able to clear it.

Makes sense for the devs to restrict it. Though I'm sure there'll be a few angry :pac:

Only €20 to buy anyway, or €18 with the Access discount.

Or €11 from South Africa :pac:

Newbie question. If you have previously downloaded a trail of a game, like madden 16 above, once it gets added to the vault do you have to do anything? Uninstall and re-download for example, or does it just automatically recognise it as being a vault title and you continue playing?
