Do I have to pre order fifa to use the ea access? If so does it have to be digital or can I get the disk version?
You would have to purchase the digital version only as the disc version isnt released until the 24th so you wouldnt then require the 10hrs early play
I have already purchased the ultimate edition, which I can download Sep. 22. If I now buy a monthly sub of ea access, can I then dowload it Sep 19? Or is that too late now?
If I buy one month subscription of EA access will I be eligible to play on the 19th or I must buy 1 year subscription?

I have one more doubt, when will the 8 hours countdown starts? Is it when I turn on the game on the 19th or it starts at a specific timeline on the 19th?

Can someone please help me.
Many thanks

You get full access to the game on the 19th September if you have an Origin Premier access, it will be a 10 hr limit if you get the basic access.
People on this thread/comment section may be misunderstanding the whole situation.
1 month will get you the whole 10 hours of ea access
when your finished playing ea access just close the application and the hour timer will stop
Is it possible for me to buy the ea access 1 month subscription, buy the ultimate edition with 10% discount, cancel the ea access right away so i only pay for one month, and still play the game for 8 hrs between the 19th and the 24th?
So I would be paying €80.99 for the game and €3.99 for 1 month of ea access and get to play early and get all the benefits of ultimate edition for €84.98 instead of buying the ultimate edition for €89.99 and not getting ea access?
From where is this 8h info from? EA says its 10h?
if i pay for ea access on ps4 will i get fifa 20 full game in the vault on september 27th or will i have to wait ?
The game will not be on the vault. Ea access only gives you 10 hours of playing time before it expires, like a trial almost. You will then have to buy the full version of the game. You can play the ea access on sep 19. You can buy the ultimate edition and start playing the full version on sept 24.
Just stumbled across the option of 'early access' with EA access. I have pre-ordered the hard copy of the game (Champions edition from Game) for £69.... However, from what i am reading all i need is EA access and then i can play as much as i want and get to play a whole week early rather than just 3 days - What am i missing? What is the point of buying the hard copy?? Should I cancel my hard copy order?
True, ea access does not work on hard copies, only through online downloads from the web store
.... Is it just for PC or can it be accessed on PS4??
if i get the standard edition will i be able to play it with ea early access on the 19th?
Gerald Anton Olsen
no
Yes, you can. Doesn't matter what edition you buy, if you have EA Access, you can try it out for 10hrs on the 19th.
To get access from 19th, do I need to get the Champions or Ultimate Edition as well as EA Access?

Or will EA Access permit me the 8 hours from the 19th with the Standard Edition pre-ordered?
You just need ea access m8
If i start playing on the 19th with EA access will i still be able to access the web app even though it launches on the 20th?
The fifa 20 web app is released on 18th of September mate the day before ea early access
So what's covered in the 8 hours? Can you play ultimate team or would that be restricted?
you can play whatever you want
Last year the early access had access to Ultimate team so I imagine this year will too
Shane Finnegan
Do fifa points, squad battle points, div rivals points earned during ea access time period carry over to when you get full game?
Anis Mustapha
yes
What time exactly can u download it from the hub
That’s the real question
So if i pay 25€ i will have the full fifa 20 or just a demo ?
You will have the full game
in the last 2 years trial was glitched meaning i could play it 100+ in these 7 days till release day
youtube has even now these tutorials for fifa18 and 19 trial
fifa 19 had 10 hours of trial,i'm pretty sure fifa 20 will have 10 hours of trial
make sure you have 40gb space
i had pre ordered fifa every time but standard edition it's unlocked till release day,trial edition it's basically another game in terms of space on your hdd
you must got a good internet provide to download fast
change your region to new zeeland cause trial is avaible sooner at them like on 18 september 16-18 pm in europe time but it's 19 sept in new zeeland
on 19 september evening look on youtube to see if anyway glitched the trial and made a tutorial this way you can play unlimited trial if you glitched every time you enter in fifa
just make it sure you don't spent all trial hours
If I have EA access and pre-ordered the hard copy of FIFA 20, will I still be able to use the early access on the 19th and then transfer across my data to my disc on the 27th?
Everything would transfer over as ea access allows you to play the full game whilst keeping the contents of it hence the price of £4 for ea access.
can you play the 8 hours over different days or is it all at once
You can play a total of 8 hours over several days
Im thinking of buying ea access but Will i get the 10 hours on the 19th even if I am going to buy the standard version on the 27th september?
oi lad its 8 hours this year u hard kidda
Ey mate, what’s ya answer mean lar
I have pre ordered FIFA 20 Ultimate edition and have EA Access membership but in PS4 library states that the game will download on 22th September. Will this change as we get closer to 19th?
same
I have the exact same issue
Can someone confirm at what exact hour I can start playing these 8 hours on 19th of September (CEST time)? Is it going to be available straight after midnight or later that day? And also - can I download the game earlier on PS4 (EA Origin allows to download game files days before trial time)?

I saw on twitter that the game installs 2 days before it says it can be played, and for me it says the 22nd. 2 days before that is the 19th which is the EA access date. Is it correct that it installs 2 days before?
By pre-ordering you will be able to play the game on 24th Sept - pre-loading on 22nd Sept. If you are an EA Access, you will be able to pre-load and play it by 19th Sept.
but it says 22th even tho i have purchased ea access??
I have pre ordered fifa 20 ultimate edition with ea access on PS4 and it says it won’t be able to download till the 22nd but I thought I could play it on the 19th
On 19th you will be able to play it but only for 8 hours, after that, you will be able to play the game with no time limit on 22 or 24 Sept - depending on your order edition and region.
How does it track the 8 hours? I usually just leave the game on when I first get it haha.
During the EA Access, the game will have a counter for 8 hours of gameplay, when the time ran out you won't be able to play it.
What constitutes gameplay? Actual time in game, or spending time in the menus, or all of the above?
Everything counts as playingtime. Also being in the menus etc. The timer is counting as long as the FIFA game itself is running
Is this game free with EA access straight away or would I need to wait a while for it to be added?
It is expected to be free after a long while, estimated to be in August 2020.
When Fifa 20 will join as part of EA Access games permanently?
Expected to be available as a free game in August 2020.

So if I get EA access to play Fifa 20 a week prior to release, how will the app work or how will it work generally if I preordered the game hard copy? Will it be a downloadable demo like app to play for eight hours or would I have to preorder digitally ?
EA Access is only for digital copy, not working on hard copy orders.
must EA Access Premier or just EA Access?
Just the normal membership plan.
if I have ea access and pre order the normal game, i play the 8 hours free until 24th of Sept. Will I still be able to play on the 24th-27th of the full game (if I pre-order the normal game) or would I need to wat until the 27th?
You would have to wait til the 27th
If you preorder the champions edition you get 3 days early off rip. If you want ea access and 3 days early you need to get the champions edition. You can't buy the normal game
Can I have it for free
Yes Mike, sure you can just reply with your credit card, social security number and send a copy of your passport to 59 High Rd, East Finchley, London N2 8AW
