EA Access began as a weak service with only a few games; however, now with the addition of FIFA 15, the service can boast 11 games in the vault and counting. It would appear as if the company has a winner on its hands, and only Xbox One users can take part.

FIFA 15 is the latest game in the long running Football franchise, so to see it become available in the vault so early is quite surprising. The next game isn't set to hit stores until around November of this year, so it would appear as if EA had made a lot of money from the game, or maybe sales have stalled.

Whatever the case, this is a great deal for all folks who love FIFA games.

FIFA 15 is the most authentic Football game of all time, according to EA. The animation of the players and the ball are second to none, and the roar of the crowd is so good that it manages to give players a boost of confidence when playing, much like the real players.

"Visually, this is the biggest step the FIFA franchise has ever taken," said Executive Producer David Rutter of EA SPORTS FIFA. "We set out with the goal of creating atmosphere, players, crowds, and pitches that not only look like they do on match day, but also feel like they do when you play or watch football - it's a level of immersion we've never been able to bring to the game before."

Since FIFA 10, EA has been hard at work trying to make the game feel more real, and it has garnered a few new features that are loved by some, and hated by others. For example, attacking a player with the ball is no longer a press and hold affair, it now takes skill. Changes like this one have been slowly taking away the arcade feel of FIFA, and transforming the franchise into a simulation.

It's not quite there yet, but we are certain in just a few years, FIFA games from EA will probably become too real in gameplay to the point where the developer might have to tone it down to keep the fun aspect intact.

For those who would love to give EA Access a test run, it will cost $5 per month or $30 per year on the Xbox One.
