FIFA 15 booting up for EA Access members today

4.5

FIFA 15 will roll out to EA Access members on Xbox One today, five days before its arrival on retail shelves. The game is available on a limited basis before its September 23 launch much like Madden NFL 15; EA Access members will have six hours to score as many goals as they can before the early play period dries up. Hey, there's always the FIFA 15 demo that's been available for a little over a week.

EA revealed its Access program in late July as a method of providing Xbox One players select games from its catalog for $5 per month or $30 per year. Earlier this month, the publisher said members poured 245,000 hours into the Madden 15 trial, amounting to over 40,000 players. EA removed Ultimate Team trade offers from FIFA 15 following revisions to its Ultimate Team abuse policies last month, which will result in permanent FIFA Online bans for coin selling and farming. The publisher removed trading from its FIFA Ultimate Team web app at that point, and multiple tweets indicate that the app is down for extended maintenance today.

This sucks if it is only for 6 hours, I got EA Accces just for Fifa 15 but i guess 6 hours is 6 hours so i better make the best of it with the time i have.

This is cool but pointless. Only 6 hours? Come on EA!

I wish they would extend it to 8-12 hours.. It would be much better in my opinion... Still kinda nice that EA is doing this though.

I think EA are a joke. Servers are becoming a joke. Also, what even is 6 hours, that doesnt give you enough time.

Tohka There's not a lot you can do in 6 hours, I would personally not even bother.

There is quite a bit you can do

Most people just want a head start

Downloading it as we speak, can't wait to get on and start my ultimate team. Hopefully I can get someone decent in my loyalty packs and get a solid team to start with. 6 hours is very short in my opinion though but you can't really complain for only 3.99gbp. Shame they can't seem to get the web app out though.
