Has EA blocked PS4 function in Madden 15?

Inquiries on the web have brought up the possibility that Share Play has been disabled for the PlayStation 4 version of Madden 15.

Typical greedy EA. I wonder if it also serves as retaliation for Sony's refusal of EA Access?...

TimNunes4099d ago

We'll have to wait and see on that one. Really, the only certainty there is with EA is that it will take a redundantly long time either way.

Ballsack4099d ago

Id guess more greed...this is EA we are talking about...

They give two f***s about the gamer in general...

Kiwi664099d ago (Edited 4099d ago )

So you feel that playstation gamers should basically get free access to all EA games when those on xbox pay to use them via EA access when at the end of the day Sony were the one's who turned it down

SoapShoes4099d ago

Lol, the downplay. You really don't like Share Play do you?

Antifan4099d ago

He doesn't like it because Share Play is NOT on Xbone.
Let him pay for the few buggy titles he get from EA

MasterCornholio4099d ago

And you say all that because we chose a system with shareplay?

Man that's so salty.

Mehmeh4099d ago

Although SharePlay is an impressive and great feature, the point MrKrispy is making is somewhat valid. And then again SP is optional for the devs/pubs. So the ones coming off as salty in this one is you guys.

paul-p19884099d ago

Shareplay is effectively couch co-op, just using the internet. You wouldn't stop your friend playing Fifa/Madden/NHL etc at your house just because they haven't bought the game for their own system...

JMyers4099d ago

@MrKrispy... What? Your comment makes no sense. It's not free access to all EA games... its ALL GAMES. Shareplay does not provide the full gameplay experience, in terms of visuals and having to disconnect after every hour. Who gives up thier games for this length of time? It lets people try the game.

This is probably EA being EA.

MasterCornholio4099d ago (Edited 4099d ago )

@Meh

Not really. I still have shareplay on over 95% of games.

So I'm not really complaining about not having it in an EA sports game. What I'm criticizing is the mentality that since Xbox One owners are paying for EA access PlayStation owners dont have the right to shareplay those games.

Mrtemper4099d ago

Just to be clear, Family share plan was in the original xb1 strategy.......before steam and or PlayStation thought of the idea.

boing14099d ago

^^And...? Why they don't have it now? Besides, family share plan is/was something completely different.

Bigpappy4099d ago (Edited 4099d ago )

Mrkrispy is spot on. Why would EA play along with Sony's efforts to gain influence while using their software, when they are trying to promote a service that Sony just rejected. Ea gains nothing from having madden use share play.

He did say anything against Share play. He made a valid point as to why EA might have not supported it.

To me share play lets companys demo their game without having to pay for a demo version. I'm pretty sure a demo cost a little not of money.

2015 presents EA's big comeback as biggest shit head developer.

JackBNimble4099d ago

Well if it wasn't for UBI soft over shadowing EA in the shit head department over the past year , then I think EA would have retained that title.

A dick move by EA? No way, I don't believe that for a second. #sarcasm

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee57d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein91d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator91d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow191d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw91d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
