EA is giving Xbox Live Gold subscribers free access to all EA Access titles until June 22

Posted on June 12, 2016 by John Scalzo

Earlier this year, Microsoft and EA opened up the EA Access “Vault” to all Xbox Live Gold subscribers for a week of binge gaming. With this year’s E3 Expo set to kick off any minute now, they’re doing it again.

If you’re an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, you’ll have free to all 21 games in the EA Access “Vault” from now until Wednesday, June 22. That includes EA Sports titles such as EA Sports UFC, FIFA 16, FIFA 15, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 16, Madden NFL 25, Madden NFL 14, NBA Live 16, NBA Live 15, NHL 16, NHL 15, and Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, as well as Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Titanfall, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Need For Speed Rivals, and Peggle 2. A pair of Xbox 360 games, Dead Space and Plants vs Zombies, will also be available through the “Vault” thanks to the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility options.

Xbox One interested in subscribing to the EA Access service can do so for $4.99 per month, or $29.99 for a full year. A paid subscription to EA Access also includes “Play First” rental access to several of EA’s biggest upcoming games (including Battlefield 1, FIFA 17, Madden NFL 17, and Mass Effect: Andromeda) before they’re released to the public.

NBA Live 15 release date travels to October 28

Posted on September 9, 2014 by John Scalzo

nbalive15-header

NBA Live 15 Executive Producer Sean O’Brien has posted an open letter on the game’s official website confirming that it’s release has been delayed to October 28. Coincidentally, this means that NBA Live 15 and the 2014-15 NBA season will both tip-off on the same day.

In the letter, O’Brien talks about how proud he is of his team and pins the delay on that common scourge of game development, a need for more polish:

Considering all the work that’s gone in so far, we will be taking a few extra weeks to polish the game and make sure you get an incredible NBA experience from the moment you first boot up the title. This extra development time means we will be moving our launch date to October 28 to line up to opening night of the 2014-15 NBA season. This was a hard decision, but it’s the right one, as we are totally committed to delivering the highest-quality game we possibly can.

NBA Live 15’s main competitor in the realm of basketball sims, NBA 2K15, is still on track for an October 7 launch.

EA Sports selects Trails Blazers’ Damian Lillard as NBA Live 15 cover athlete

Posted on August 25, 2014 by John Scalzo

2K Games picked NBA MVP Kevin Durant to appear on the cover of their NBA 2K15. Today, EA Sports chose a slightly more unorthodox pick, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trails Blazers, to headline NBA Live 15.

Lillard will begin his third season in the NBA this Fall. Last year, he was selected to the All-Star team and lead the Trail Blazers to the playoffs. During All-Star Weekend, he partnered with Trey Burke of the Utah Jazz to win the Skills Challenge and lead “Team Hill” to victory in the Rising Stars Challenge. He also competed in the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Shootout.

Lilliard had another busy weekend recently when he traveled to EA Canada’s studio for a photo shoot and a mo-cap session. NBA Live 15 will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One on October 7.

EA Access offers subscription service for EA games on Xbox One

Posted on July 29, 2014 by John Scalzo

electronicartslogoYou’re already signed up for Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus. Now, get ready to open up your wallet for EA Access.

EA Access is a subscription service that will offer access to some of Electronic Art’s previously released titles as digital downloads. Currently, the service is exclusive to the Xbox One and will be available for $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year.

So what do you get for your money? First and foremost, you get access to “The Vault,” a revolving selection of EA titles that can be downloaded from Xbox Live. During this Summer’s EA Access beta period, The Vault will contain Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, and Peggle 2. According to the fine print, EA Access subscribers will lose all access to their EA Access games if the subscription lapses and once a game is removed from The Vault, it is no longer playable by EA Access subscribers.

In addition to titles in The Vault, EA Access members will be able to download demo versions of upcoming EA titles five days before the general public. These “Play First” titles include Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA Live 15, and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Finally, subscribers will receive 10% off all EA digital content in the Xbox Live Games Store. That includes all full game downloads and add-on content.

If you’re interested in signing up for EA Access, head over to EA.com/eaaccess now.
