EA Access is Electronic Arts’ newly announced subscription service that gives fans unlimited access to a vault of games for a monthly (or yearly) fee. In addition to older titles like 2013’s Madden NFL 25, subscribers will be granted up to five days of limited early access to new releases like Madden NFL 15. Should they then decide to purchase the game in full, all progress from the trial period will carry over.

Continuing a long tradition of innovation and iteration, Madden NFL 15 refines the strategic gameplay fans have come to expect from the Madden series, with a particular emphasis on revamping defensive play to be as compelling as offense.
