If you buy EA access for the month for £3.99 you can then access the 10 hours. Once the 10 hours is up you cancel you EA access and the £3.99 is returned to you. You can then do the same on multiple accounts.

Take it that it applys to Pc too?

can you play online seasons in the 10 hour trial and is it the full game with all teams included etc?

do cheevos unlock on the 10 hour pass?

I've a months ea access code from last year. If I enter this before I buy the game will the trial activate to play? thanks

Thanks for your reply. I was planning on buying the C.Ronaldo edition so I can get it early anyways but to get a 10 hour trail just before the 26th is a bonus. Do you receive discount ordering when you have ea access? thanks

Does the FUT transfer market work on this trial? It doesn't for me on the web app.

More than enough time to realise it's the same as fifa 17.......& 16, 15 etc

Is it just the icon edition you get 20%off

Anyone know if a VPN to access Origin Mexico still works?

Damn... 10 hours... Not enough to finish The Journey story mode, which is the only bit I'm interested on.

PSA: if you look at the forums and reddit, a lot of people are having issues trying to load the game. some can't get access to the transfer market while others keep getting disconnected.

don't waste your money on this abomination. EA are utter scum.

Yeah loading ok for me on the Xbox..
They've slowed the gameplay down though players seem to take forever now :disappointed:

You can buy it from smyths, standard edition, £44,99 if you collect it in store, or 49,99 with home delivery, and then get 30 free ea access to play it earlier(just don't forget to cancel after the 10 hours or next Friday, when the game is out) Saves you money

10 hours is enough to tell me how rubbish this game is!

Do you have to have fifa 18 on pre order to use the 10 hours?

Anyone played both this and PES this year? Thoughts?

I've played this trial and the demo of pes and the actual playing did seem better on pes and if bought fifa every year for years but I play pro clubs and ultimate team and I don't think you get them on pes.

Bought every single FIFA title for the past 9-10 years. Last year even though I wasn't going to buy FIFA because I got fed up with it being the same game every year, I stretched it and bought 17 on the release day for £25, the price was the only reason why I got it. Finally this year I gave up on FIFA so I moved to PES and the gameplay is a big improvement over fifa. It takes getting used to it and switching from FIFA's engine to PES engine but playing few games in demo made me realize it's much better than fifa and definitely worth its £35 price tag.

PES has plenty of online modes and also myclub which is basically the ultimate team mode.

My husband started it last night with real madrid - he was 4-2 up - got beat 5-4.

OMG. Is he ok?

Haha i dont know

Don't do what I did last night, and fall asleep whilst using the 10 hour EA Access trial - I've only played 2 games but used half of it already :blush:

Will this work without an xbox live gold account?


If not, is there anyway I can get an xbox live trial?

There is an ultimate team version on Pes. its quite primitive. My hate with PES is its scripted. If AI wants to score, then no matter what you do - they go score. This is to encourage you to make subs. Alos, the contracts are only for a few game & so is fitness. I tried to like PES last year & it was great for a dozen games or so, then it became painful to play as you knew what the AI was going to do when your team gets tired. Tried this years demo & uninstalled midway through 2nd match!

PES used to be fantastic back in the day.
They still playing catch up to FIFA though. Start saving them pennies for FIFA - cos PES will P you off in a few weeks.

Hopefully they don't cut short 'The Journey' in the trial like they did last year. TBH though, the section of the The Journey I played last year was great, and then carried it on when FIFA 17 went free in the Vault later in the year. Come on Alex Hunter ;-)

I'm not sure why anyone would buy an EA game these days, I'm more than happy paying £20 a year to play all the games with a 10 hour trial then the rest 6 months later for 'free'. I've been doing the same with the new NBA Live trial. The 10 hour trial is great for getting a feel of the game, but will definitely wait until the game is in the Vault to carry on my streets season.

When I load it up I get to play the Real-Athletico derby but after that it doesnt take me back to the main menu it just shows a picture of a stadium in the background but no menu or anything.

Anyone else have trouble with this?

Yes I did last night. Quit out of game left it 30 minutes when I went back in it was fine.

can you explain that in English please

I have FIFA 18
Don't have EA Access - can always buy it

what price for Ronaldo Edt?
what price for Icon Edit?

Pro clubs in pc version only seems to work in drop in but not the clubs side of things sadly

The in game discount is only for the Icon edition, if you combine the 10% EA Access discount and 10% through FIFA 17 in game menu you'll get Icon edition for £72.

Ronaldo edition will be whatever price it is minus 10%

Either way you'll save money by buying 1 month EA Access for £3.99 then pre ordering your FIFA and cancelling the EA Access for a refund.

I think I played FIFA 17 for about 8 of the 10 hours last year.
Didn't go back to it until it was available free on EA Access in March/April.
No doubt I will be the same this year.
My son on the other hand will have used his 10 hours by Sunday evening no doubt!

My son paused that bit, then selected Quit Match.
It took him straight to the main menu without any problem.

I rather buy 2nd copy of PES, than pay £45 for what's basically a FIFA 17.

You can play online you know that right?

Oh great the yearly I want the latest FIFA row is about to kick off in our house.

What annoys me is the same cut and paste jobs on the fans. It annoying to spot the same people over the years then change shirt each game. I know it's just fun, but it does take me out the experience.

Thats what i've done, i bought £75 worth of giftcards from CDKEYS for £67.34 , purchased the EA Access for £3.99 (will cancel for £3.99 refund) went to FIFA 17, clicked on the FIFA 18 ICON advert & purchased for £71.99 :sunglasses: leaving me with a little bit of credit £3.01 !!

Cheapest place to but fifa 18 i the UK?

Is this easy to do

can you use that £3 credit for fifa packs or points?

i see the 1x £50 plus 1x £25 for 67.34 when used with 5% off. Do I purchase EA ACCESS from Dashboard as its 9.99pm on CD KEYS

Never bought credit before, so not sure where it goes.

Once i purchase Fifa, do I cancel ACCESS straight away?

1. Yes this is easy to do
2. Yes you will be able to use the remaining £3 towards FIFA points
3. Purchase the EA Access via the console at £3.99
4. Use the gift voucher codes as payment when purchasing the FIFA 18 Icon Edition via the advert on FIFA 17 (the new price of £71.99 will not show until you have purchased the EA Access).
5. Complete your purchase of FIFA 18.
6 . Enjoy 10 hours of FIFA 18 early access before deciding when you want to cancel this subscription (i havent cancelled mine yet so cannot confirm how long the refund of £3.99 will take)
7. Buy yourself some FIFA points with the spare £3.01 :wink:

yes, but quicker to build coins offline.
use a crap team - play AI until contracts run out.
Gain coins from easy wins & sell crap players with no contract.
Use coins to slowly build a team worth taking online!

If people bothered to buy it and play it, then maybe they'd notice the difference in games rather than consistently complaining that they are the same as the game before it, without playing it.

When is the latest date I can pick this up for 71.99 having already bought ACCESS just waiting on some cash hitting my account

That's awesome! I'll download it right now on my PS4! Oh, wait...

You're seriously complaining about PES being scripted in a FIFA thread..... yeah ok then, no scripting in FIFA at all is there. Laughable.

If you have a Guitar Hero dongle plugged in (USB) then remove it.

I had the same problem previously.

The deal will prob still be on FIFA 17 for a good few weeks i imagine but cant guarentee the price of the gift cards on cdkeys will remain the same tho ?

Thank you for the heads up on going onto the FIFA 17 for the extra discount. My 12 year old wanted the icon edition and was prepared to pay full price, till I saw this. Managed to get it for the £71.99. Happy son. :grin:

My sons 10 hours free is coming to an end. Can I buy another ea acess, use it then cancel, then get refund? He doesn't want to stop playing it

I think some people were saying they were able to get another 10hrs by signing into another account ?

Then buy it for him?....bit extreme to go about trying to do that, cancel and refund >_>

Wait for this to go on EA Access and save yourself the STRESS of getting scripted losses and the BOREDOM of getting scripted wins next year please haha! Even when you've dominated every single stat at half time and full time, it is still highly likely somehow, the kid you're playing who doesn't know half of the skills/button commands what you do, still beats you 1-0 or 2-1 or sometimes even 5-0 or more, :grin: when you get them randomly scripted matches where you can't keep possesion/make more than 2 accurate passes consecutively/ hit the target with an open goal from the cetre of the goal from 1 yard away. Or my favourites, every time the player you're controlling doesn't respond to your button commands and also decides to fall over for no physical reason and the auto-switching mechanic literally not working at all for most of match because EA decided to make your world class team incapable of playing football, even at amatuer level for the next 90 minutes. Also I have won alot of games on the last 5/6/7 Fifa games where I also knew for a fact that I was being given scripted wins as the same things I have listed above where 100% happening to the person I was playing against. I could see it myself ALOT and they would also tell me this in a party chat.
If you're happy to experience that ^ hundreds of times throughout the next year or more, then line the pockets of EA who clearly do not reward players for being good at their game and only care about money from pre-order sales and ultimate team points.

I picked the game up for £35 from cdkeys yesterday. I used a discount code from this site and got an extra 5% off.

Are the 10 hours game play hours or 10 hours from when you start ?

10 hr game play you can keep coming back to it

You got any info on what you did? I can't find any discounts
