EA access so far sounds awesome. Playing games early will be great.

Yep sounds awesome. Although I wonder how it will work if you buy the games. The early access trial is just for a short time to try the game, but if you like it and decide to buy it will you then get the full game with no time restrictions early as well?

hmm, that's a good point. I doubt it will work like that though. I also wonder if your progress in the free trial will be carried over if you choose to buy the full game. I would hate to put a lot of effort into a free trial and see none of it counted. 

This part of the deal is actualy several years old already. I have been using it 2-3 years already, although it was just for Madden, NHL and FIFA, and it was $20 per year for that and some Ultimate Team packs.

Basically, you are given access to select game modes (usually single player only), and you can unlock achievements, although they stay locked until you purchase a retail version. And then they all pop at once.

In previous years, Early Access work transferred even when you purchased retail discs later, not only digital, don't know if it's still like that.
