I would pay 5 bucks to scratch the itch of not playing madden for 5 years. I have never played any of the NBA games or fifa either so would let me give those a shot as well. I normally get tired of sports games quickly, so other than The Show, I will never buy one of the games. It would not be a service I would have year round.

Some nice benefits with getting games early, but not worth it imo.

Yes, you can play old titles but it also gives you access to an upcoming release a few days early. Say for instance, NHL 15 comes out next Tuesday. Well they would have it setup to where I can download it on Friday and play it all the way up until around 11 PM Monday night. So the $5 a month is worth it alone for that feature.

So EA believes that if you are stupid enough to buy an Xbox one, you are stupid enough to pay them $5 a month for shitty old games you have already paid for.

I don't know why anyone would want to play an old game. For the $4.99/mo, I get access to play last years Madden game? No thanks. I think i'll shell out the $60 and play the current madden game...same goes with FIFA and the others.


This just makes me laugh at you. You would rather pay $60 to play the same game with new rosters rather than pay $4.99 a month to play older versions of the same exact thing.

Not to mention all the other games you can play and early release.

Anyone who thinks this is a bad thing EA is doing just because they don't have use for it is dumb.

This is a smart move by MS and EA. I can see parents lining up at the door to pay $4.99 a month rather than $60 every time a rehashed sports game comes out that their kid wants.

A month, that's a rip off.

$30 a year is worth it IMO though.

Will probably get this just to play FIFA and Madden, can't remember the last time I bought a sports game. Might wait a while to see if they will actually add anything though.

They won't put Battlefront 3 on here until a year after it's release, if at all.

Get to buy it for $60 five days earlier though. Unless they do a digital discount which is totally possible.

Considering I spend more on gaming in a month than you most likely do all year that's hardly the case.

It's just a rip off for $5 a month when you can get the subscription for $30 a year.

Well they have Battlefield 4 and Peggle 2 already in the vault to play

I assume this is going to be much more than just sports games. The 10% for example can be used to purchase Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.
