Probably once the BPL & Spanish leagues are done. Give it another month.

Definitely. All of my EA game purchases are physical. I trade them in right before they go on Access. :)

The problem with digital vs physical is I'm too damn lazy to change discs, so I've bought more digital stuff in the past year or two than discs.

I'm the perfect use case for EA and Xbox, and keep the publishers happy by paying full prices. :P

Co Signed. Add to that the fact that I have two XB1's so the digital is great when I move to the living room to the back bedroom. Just starts it up and it's right where I left off.

Yes, there's an app on the Xbox One. You can pin it to your home screen as well. You should be able to do a search on it, and then download it.

The app is a good way to find everything, but once you are signed up, prices in the Xbox Live store reflect your 10% discounts and free downloads of games in the Vault. It even includes a link to download the trial versions of games.

Did you enter the Vault within EA Access? That's the only place you can download the free games. You can't do that from that game's section in the Xbox Store.

Beauty. Traded in my physical copy of FIFA 16 last week at Best Buy for $22 in anticipation of it dropping soon on Access.

Once NHL 16 was confirmed, I told you that FIFA would follow suit within a month. So yeah, get some money back now.

While I really like the FIFA game, soccer is still my least played sports game, especially since Madden has improved so much. So I decided to keep rolling with 15,and will gladly roll with 16 for free until 17 hits the Vault. It's a nice way to keep a soccer game in my collection without having to spend any money on it. I may do the same with NHL next year, as I have not played NHL 16 near as much as I had hoped.

That said, I have been playing quite a bit of RMPGAT lately. I still really like the gameplay, and the courses added have been fine, but it's career mode is pretty awful, and it still offer almost no real stat racking to be used to scorechase. It's ridiculous that we can't set up private tourneys and seasons. I guess if more folks played the online weekly and daily tourneys there cold be some social aspect to it. But honestly, even the Tour difficulty in the online tourneys still fails to use the toughest swing difficulty. It would be nice to be able to craft our own based on the settings we want.

But I suspect a lack of a new game coming out means it won't hitting the Vault any time soon. And that's too bad, because they could take the base of the game and bolt on social features, and it would be pretty much near perfect for me. Their decision to not longer go annually was not a bad one, until they shipped a game that needed the updates that could've been added with another year of work.

I thought this was never going to happen or at least for a few years. Death Blow for EA Golf?
