If it's like Season Ticket of the past generation, it's basically the whole game except Ultimate Team (they don't activate that until release).

Pretty sure everything has shut down here. I could go Redbox or GameFly potentially.

Not surprising, wouldn't be surprised if EA Access played a part (however small) in the decision. A game of this size and anticipation would be a smart marketing tool for this new service. It will be interesting to see if a similar decision is made over FIFA15, as that would probably have the same pull as Madden in the Rest of the World (particularly here in Europe). That will probably be a better indicator as if this is a company wide vision, or just an isolated decision.

CNet just posted an article on EA pulling demos due to Access paywall...if so thats....very EA....

It makes perfect business sense with EA JUST having heavily marketed their "EA Access Hub". Really not surprising as the lack of a demo will probably drive up sales a tick for their new season ticket/EA Access deal.

Doesn't matter to me. Im gonna buy the game either way because im a football junkie. Even more so this year because guys like me are really missing an NCAA football game. Usually NCAA would hold me over just fine until the Madden release. Probably gonna grab the early access too as I have a problem with patience. lol.

Like I said before, if you have a problem with this:

1) Spend 5 bucks to get EA access or rent the game if you have an X1. There are thousands of Redboxes all over the country.

2) Rent the game of you have a PS4.

A few thoughts swirled in my head when I first read this this morn during lunch (yes, lunch, in the morn. I work an early shift. Ha) and many have been touched on but I think this is definitely a move bought by MS in their deal with EA, figuring they'll sway not only late, now current gen (get caugt up last genners - heh) adopters, but grab PS4 only-ers like myself to grab an XBOne as an extra system or ditch PS4 altogether. Smart business move to try to take advantage of Sony's passing on the Access deal.

At any rate, to be honest, I completely forgot about a potential demo, to begin with, which is very unusual for me. I just kept thjnking about the Best Buy trade in deal for 25 which is ridiculously sweet, being a reward zoner, on top of things. $35 off Madden 15 plus a subsequent $10 reward zone certificate to boot.

I'm good waiting for 15 launch day.
