And Gamestop has extra 50% extra on trade ins until 1/31. Perfect timing! With the extra 10% PUR I got $28.80 for Madden 16.

Cool! Will trade physical copy soon at Best Buy. I better do it Feb. 1, though, as my oldest son might need rehab if he went one weekend day without Madden. :)

It's not easy, man. I have other games I want to play, but I still gravitate to Madden every freaking day.

I just traded my disc at Best Buy. Got $23.10 with Gamers Club Unlocked. $21 trade-in value for non-GCU members.

Makes me happy I got the NHL 16 disc for when it "vaults"

With Madden 16 just hitting the Vault, what are the next suspects to arrive there in the spring? A few candidates:

-- NBA Live 16, probably any time since that game is a massive failure
-- NHL 16, probably in early June when the Stanley Cup Finals start
-- FIFA 16, probably right when the European seasons end in mid-May
-- Need For Speed, another game that has hit the bargain bins quickly

What non-sports EA games do you think could drop into the Vault in the next few months? Dragon Age and Battlefield Hardline were nice recent additions, but what else does EA have to offer?

But even if EA releases no non-sports games to the Vault soon, Access remains the best value in console gaming, period.

Wonder if they'll add any backwards compatible games to the Vault, it would make sense to make the Mass Effect Trilogy prior to the launch of the next game in the series. The first one (which was a Microsoft game) is the only one currently backwards compatible though. Mirror's Edge is another option from the 360.

I'm surprised Live 16 isn't there already, figure they can make more money off people trying Ultimate Team than the game is generating at retail.

Plants vs Zombies Warfare 2 can be tried now. Fun shooter with more maps and characters.

UFC hits EA Access later today.

I enjoyed the demo, but I'm still not sold on the game. Playing the full game will help me make a better decision.

Most likely, I won't be purchasing anyways due to the swinging camera, which makes me nauseous after 10 minutes or so.

EA access has granted me a second play through of DA Inquisition and I now remember why I played through everything available in the base game first time.

1) I dont have a life.

2) Game is f***in awesome.

EA access truly a gift that keeps on giving.

My understanding is that UFC 2 is quite different than UFC, although U have not played it. I messed around wit the first one, but it was a lot harder to figure out than the effort I was willing to put in to not be good, but just to feel like I was doing more than just button mashing.

I'm pretty excited to try the new game out. My gut tells me that this is going to be far more arcades and fun than the lat one, and many die-hard MMA fans will hate it. While Iam really starting to like MMA, I think I would still rather have a new Fight Night instead.

Honestly, the only fighting game IU really want right now isa new freaking Soul Calibur. Is that too much to ask?

I HATE MMA with every cell in my body. But like you, I would love a new Fight Night game.

I'm surprised the PBC hasn't attempted to create a PBC-branded boxing game. Then again, Al Haymon is burning through his $400 million venture capital fund so quickly that the PBC probably won't exist after 2017. Don't let the door hit it in the ass ...

I'm pretty damn impressed with UFC 2. I like it a whole lot better than last year's game. The ground game makes more sense and the controls are less cumbersome. I've had some pretty epic fights. I may end up trading in NHL 16 towards this game when it goes on sale for $40 ($32 with gamers club).

NHL 16 will debut in the vault on March 29th. I recently traded the game in for $25, so I'll happily play this game again. :D
