Sports games, yes.

Whats this year? Titanfall and Dragon Age?


2014 EA Xbox One releases are

Titanfall

Dragon Age Inquisition

EA Sports UFC

NHL 15

Madden 15

Peggle 2

Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

Fifa 15

 

and they were supposed to have Hardline which was delayed to early next year.

 

Thats a pretty great lineup for many gamers. Upcoming on Xbox One they have

Future Madden, Fifa, UFC, NHL, NBA, Golf titles

Future Battlefield releases

A new Star Wars Battlefront

Future Need for Speed releases

A New Mirrors Edge

Future Mass Effect titles

Future Dragon Age Titles

Titanfall 2

and I could name many many more. EA puts out a lot of quality software and a membership to this program for fans of the above franchises is a pretty great deal.


Sorry, but I dont see it. Getting 10% off games and DLC is not that good for downloadable games. Physical copies of EA games usually go down in price pretty quickly. Early access is great for people who cant wait I guess and I dont see how paying 90$ a year is great for playing old EA games.

It's $29.99 a year.

It's $30 a year if you buy a 1 year sub

For that price you can't really complain about any bundle of games but the four listed are not exactly new, sports games with the latest iteration already announced are not very desirable either.
EA has a big catalogue with some good games but i'm assuming the first games are likely to be the most recent to make the service look more appealing, which makes me wonder how old the rest of the catalogue is likely to be when they add it, bearing in mind a lot of EA games have already been on PS+ and are likely to be on games with gold.
This definitely gives EA an opportunity to get something back from the second hand market though, for that price it should be competitive with the second hand market as well. I hope it works out for EA and Xbox

How are you going to stay online for the games if you dont have XBL?

It's not known if this service requires XBL Gold.

Its Xbox One only, so the games they add can't be too old, the console is less than 1 year old.

Why would MS let EA get the money from their service? Would piss off alot of other third party publishers.

Doesnt need to be every year.  They have a few big hits EVERY year from different franchises


Sports games, yes.

Whats this year? Titanfall and Dragon Age?

TitanFall, Plants vs Zombies, Dragon Age, Battlefield Hardline,  Madden, Fifa, NHL, as well as more

Sims 4, Mass Effect, New Bioware Ip, Battlefront, Mirror's edge, as well as more will be announced for next year

How about just going to the wiki and looking up their ip's to see how large they are.  For someone that comes to a sales website you should not have to even ask these questions.  EA and Acvtivision are two of the biggest publishers for a good reason, whether you hate them or love them, their games are vastly popular.

That got delayed to Q1 2015.
