All EA Sports games such as Madden, FIFA, NHL, (typically 4-5 months after release, though), Battlefield, Need For Speed, etc. Here is the full list of games: https://www.ea.com/ea-play/games-xbox-one Damn. If this was after Week 17 and before the WC Round it’d be perfect. Love playing the playoffs with friends or CPU vs CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 The full game of Madden typically is not on EA Access or whatever it's called now (EA Play, I think) until after the season ends. I think sometime in Feb or near the Super Bowl. Honestly, EA Play isn't that great of a service. The real bang is EA Play Premium, but for some reason that is only available on PC. I never understood why that isn't on consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why that isn't on consoles. It’s a fine service if you aren’t hardcore into sports games but like checking them out in spurts. Like I like doing a run in franchise mode in Madden, FIFA and NHL in between game releases, the 10 hour trial is even enough for me. Never going buy one full price at launch again, there isn’t enough difference year to year and they stay in there so you can just play the 20 edition and download the rosters. So instead of $30 on Madden on sale I just get all of them for the year. It’s not an amazing value beyond that, think the discount is lik 5~10%. Being part of Gamepass Ultimate is a way better place for it now though, don’t have to actively pay $30 a year anymore. Honestly I think it’s the model Sony should follow for their inevitable service. All Sony titles at one bigger price per year + Vault & discounts like EA Play Premium and a cheaper level where you get access to the Vault. Is kind of a middle ground between doing nothing and Gamepass level cheap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony has so many quality exclusive titles. If Sony did a Gamepass type thing, it would probably be filled with 3rd party games like Microsoft's service is.

With all the studios Xbox has, it's only a matter of time before it starts churning out exclusive IPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Honestly what would be best for consumers is if Sony and Microsoft just did rights exchanging. Like "Microsoft gets access to FF XVI, and Sony gets access to Starfield" with no strings attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. Microsoft will probably have some quality exclusives in like 5 years, but that's way too long of a wait. Microsoft is putting together a top secret dev team from tons of other triple A studios to make some amazing exclusive game, but nothing has been announced. Probably haven't even started on it yet. ^ All of that is great for 3-5 years from now, but I'm buying the console NOW. And right NOW Xbox has no exclusives.

I'd say in about 3 years you can expect them to be releasing a AAA exclusive every single quarter of a year. Phil Spencer has said in an interview that they're looking to more or less bring a new AAA game for game pass every quarter as the end goal.

I think it’s smart though, you look at the numbers and not a ton of people play all of the exclusives, at least to the percentage of console owners. Yeah it checks boxes, gets people hyped, but it doesn’t seem to breakthrough as easily. A subscription price makes it so more people can play them. Wether it be for money reasons, for gamers with disabilities, or people just just not giving a type of game a shot... a sub service can help a lot.

Walmart said they had bot protection this time but they clearly lied and gaslighted everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
