EA Access Vault: 'NBA Live 15' joins roster of free games

For video gamers who want to have easy access to the best and free Electronic Arts games, there's only one thing to do — get EA Access. This service is only available to EA Access Members and when a game is placed inside the vault, it stays there. 

In a recent blog post, Electronic Arts announced that "NBA Live 15" will now be included in the EA Access Vault. Right now, the "NBA Live 15" along with "EA Sports UFC" are the only new EA Sports title games included in EA Access. Other sports title in the service are "FIFA 14" and "Madden NFL 25" which were launched back in 2013 and made it to the vault in August 2014.

"Every dribble, three-pointer, and slam dunk of NBA LIVE 15 is now available to EA Access members. Enjoy the ultra-responsive controls, the intelligent AI, and the real-time physics as you play every mode, as much as you want," wrote EA. 

In the case of "NBA Live 15," it got into the vault just four months after its release. This game may not be as awesome as "NBA 2K15" but Polygon gave it a 6.0 rating, which isn't really bad at all.

"NBA Live 15" will not join other games in the vault such as "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare," "Battlefield 4," "Peggle 2" and "Need for Speed Rivals." Only Xbox One gamers can get the game under EA Access. According to Polygon, Sony declined to bring the game into their similar service offering, saying, "It does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect." 

Moreover, every weekend before a new game is launched, there is a six-hour sneak preview into the game. Players will be given a closer look inside the game, just to give them a brief background of the kind of game to be released. 

EA Access will cost Xbox players $4.99 a month, or $29.99 for those who opt to pay yearly.
