EA Sports has also announced that digital gross revenue for Madden is up 78% from last year, due largely in part to the Madden Ultimate Team mode, a trading-card-based team management option.
4 million gameplay minutes were logged during the early access period available through its Season Ticket subscription service according to a statement released Wednesday. However, EA Sports did not indicate a total number of subscribers for the service, which allowed early access to those who paid for it.
