I have no issue waiting a few months, or even a year for a Madden game I had no intention of buying in the first place. But for the price, Ill play Madden every year, and be happy about it. Whether you wait for a game to be added to the Vault, or buy the game, you are getting a better deal than people who pay $65 for a new game.

Its not just Madden either. EA puts out Golf, boxing, soccer, basketball, MMA, Nascar, Need for Speed, NBA Street, etc,etc. Then you have non-sports titles like Battlefield, Star Wars Battlefront, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Army of Two, Titanfall, The Sims, Plants v/s Zombies, Peggle, Crysis, Command & Conquer, Alice, Mirrors Edge, Monopoly, etc,etc.

It wouldn't be a mistake to believe that every EA title released on the XB1 will be put in the Vault at some point. Once retail orders, and DD get small or stop, adding the game to the Vault will add a new pool of consumers to sell dlc to, and gain EA Access subs.So what had once been a title that had stopped making money, becomes a title that could still make money. Also, it should be noted that the only sales that should matter in the decision of when a title gets added to the Vault, are XB1 sales.

The only thing EA Access is doing is giving people a cheaper option than buying a used game, so they will get the money for their game instead of a used game dealer getting it. Its nothing to fear. Publishers will never drop new games sales for a subscription service. Firstly, they would lose an incredible amount of money. Secondly, the subscription price of a service that offered new games would be astronomical, ad would never float with consumers.

OK. You just made it sound like you were finally going to get to play Madden. I just wanted to make sure you knew the vault version is last year's Madden. Thats literally all I was going to say. :-D

I'm ultimately against publishers individually coming out with these subscriptions. Mainly because its a very transparent grab at money. Another reason is that its not beneficial. Its literally just penalizing the non-subscribers. If its even a minor success it wont be more than 2 years before Acti and Ubi follow suit. I loathe pre-order bonuses for the same reason.

i see he cleared up what he meant by that down below, but this is what i was talking about in my other comment.

"I cant wait to try out Madden 15, NHL 15, and Dragon Age. Ill probably buy Dragon Age if I like the trial"
