I do. You get a demo if you are subscribed to EA access, you don't if you don't.

That's what the "trial" is; a demo. It is not the "full game" as many people who've so foolishly thrown their money at EA think it is.

It's a bit different than a demo. Every trial has at least 2 hours of content (some could be quite a bit longer) which is bigger than any demo I know of. Your progress also carry over to the full game, which is something no demo I can think of has done before. 

You are actually both correct.

As far as the game on topic, and all other sports games, EA's early access will let you play only single player, offline modes. There will be no multiplayer or Ultimate Team available.

So, in a manner of speaking, it's a demo.

But, on the other hand, any game on early access, sports or otherwise, will allow you to gain achievements. Those achievements unlock once you purchase the full game.

So, you're both correct.
