NHL 16 going into the EA Access Vault on Xbox One next week
The value of the EA Access subscription service will continuously build as the "Vault" gains more games from the publisher. However for sports fans there's an ebb and flow to the worth of EA Access.

The O’Bannon lawsuit now moving towards possible Supreme Court hearing
An appeals ruling last September in the Ed O'Bannon vs NCAA class action lawsuit complicated the potential return of college sports video games. District judge Claudia Wilken had initially ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that the NCAA violated antitrust laws and that college athletes should be able to receive up to $5,000 a year in deferred payments. The District Court ruling had made it possible for the likes of EA Sports to pay into a trust that would have been dispersed to pl...
