@Weecutter3 From what I've been informed, anyone that owns the game will receive this trial message while the trial weekend is active. This is a generic prompt that will show up, we apologize for any confusion.

Simply move on past this screen and you'll be able to play your purchased game as much time as you want.

Is this the reason that people who preordered and have played since the 3 day early access cannot play anymore?? Got this error....

No option for Free Weekend on Steam or Origin? Steam Link on the Madden page just takes you to the Steam page with the 10hr Trial 

[EA_Blueberry]

@FreakinNerd That is the correct option. It's a free trial weekend.

[FreakinNerd]

so only available is we have EA Play? because 10hrs is not a weekend...

[EA_Blueberry]

@FreakinNerd The 10 hour Play First Trial is only available for EA Play members, however during this weekend it's available for free to everyone.

[FreakinNerd]

@EA_Blueberry So then where is the option for the Free Weekend? 
Like I stated and the screen shot attached there is zero mention of a Free Weekend on Steam
Do you have a direct link? 

[EA_Blueberry]

To confirm, this offer is available for console only. The 10 hour Play First Trial is always available for EA Play members though.

@EA_Blueberry Weird since the Madden site states its available on Steam
