Its just a trial, EA never promised the full game before release.

From EA's own website:

PLAY FIRST

If you’re an EA Access member, you can download upcoming EA games five days before the release date to play for a limited time. Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA LIVE 15 and Dragon Age: Inquisition are all included, with more to come. If you love it, buy it, and you can pick up right where you left off.

 

Nowhere do they say it's a trial. They actually imply that you get full games 5 days prior to release, which you can play and transfer progress once you buy it.

Sure, you'll argue that it also doesn't say "full game", but the wording definitely leads everyone to believe that.

Yeah, I could argue it doesn't say "full game" because it doesn't.

However, i agree a little more clarification wouldn't hurt.

I thought those features were removed from the full game, not only the EAA part.

Yeah, they were. A fact people seem to be completely ignoring.


So this isn't EAA being shitty, it's just EA as a whole being shitty (which should be expected by now).

EDIT: It's been clarified, my post thus makes no sense anymore.

If so, my appologies, but then Joystiq's title is misleading.

What the hell was left in the game? Are pucks and sticks now a microtransaction?

Might be time to update your OP and thread title.

I agree that the article is stupidly named. But thats one reason we expect users to add content to their threads, rather than simply replicating work done elsewhere.

I think it is better to read from their own FAQ, where the info has been available from the time it launched: http://www.ea.com/eaaccess/faq.html

They clearly state that it is a trial, and that the content can vary between releases. Some are the full game for a limited time, others can be one or more game modes from the upcoming game. So there is nothing strange with this story at all actually, so far EA has delivered all that they promised.
