Do I need an EA subscription to play Madden 20?

So I just got the free demo for Madden 20, and it’s asking me for an EA access subscription. Do i really need this to play the game? And do I need the subscription for the normal game too?

    @Dougy_D747 

    Our apologies for not being able to get out to you over the weekend on this. I wasn't able to catch this before I left for the weekend.

    Madden 20 is currently in The Vault for EA Access. If you were to sign up for either a monthly or yearly membership, you'll have access to the full game while your membership is active.

    Player were reporting that the price wasn't changing to free when going through checkout after selecting "Buy" from the Xbox/PlayStation store, we're raising these reports to the team to investigate on why that occurred. We've seen players bypass that by going to the store via the console though.

    @EA_Blueberry No, you are not responding to the situation accurately.

    The PlayStation Store listed a "Game Trial" for PlayStation Plus members.

    Selecting this option directed you to "Try Free Demo"...

    However the Free Demo option directs you to a screen that says "This Is Only Available For EA Access Members"

    This bait and switch tactic was not only frustrating, but highly indicative of all EA dealings of recent : Wrought with miscommunicational prevarication.

    Gladly EA is dying slowly month after month, game after terrible game (Anthem). When your sim football exclusivity dies, so will you, as consumers flock to any competitive brand available. EA is dEAd

    @HumaNatural 

    We've raised the confusion around how to navigate to a free download of the game to the proper teams responsible for this, however it was free to download if you were an Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus member regardless of whether you had an EA Access membership or not. I'm sorry you were frustrated by this experience. I'm not aware of any plans for future promotions like this one, but I was responding to another thread in our EA Madden forums where others raised this up to us. A player was able to redeem a code for a full copy of Madden 20 from our recent giveaways.

    Check to see if the links I posted on page 2 here are still redeemable.
