The Code's Worth

[Masakra]

So here's my situation...

I bought this game on release day, loved it and for some stupid reason traded it in when Madden 13 came out (which I hated for various reasons). Anyways, I want to get another copy of NCAA 13 but there is a big difference in price between a used and new copy (about $20 here), so here's my questions:

1) I got an original code from the original copy I bought BUT I erased all my data once I sold NCAA 13 from my Xbox hard-drive...if I get a used copy will EA Games use my original code? I did register with EA when I got the original code...will that make a difference? Or do I have to get a new copy for the code?

2) What is the code even used for? All I play is offline franchise mode...will it even affect it? Do I need it for the uniform shop?

Thanks in advance!

I have no idea about your first question, but I would think that since you activated YOUR account it would still have the online pass.

But if not, I believe all the pass does is give you access to online dynasty, online games, and the roster vault. I would think you could still access the uniform shop without it.

Oh sorry for the confusion, let me try and clarify possibly better:

I bought an sealed, original copy of the game which had its own unique code, activated said code under my EA gamer login but then later not only sold the game, but erased all data I had stored on my Xbox hard-drive of NCAA 13. Now I want to get a pre-owned NCAA 13 and was wondering if that original code previously mentioned would still apply to this copy? My fear is that by erasing all data on my hard-drive that would include the code I entered as well...

Hope that helped! And thanks again for the help!

If you activated the code, it's tied to your account whether or not you delete the game off your system

Hey, For your code... If you never play online at all (IE ranked matches or dynasty) then you shouldnt really need the code. However, there is a way to recover your 'online pass' from your console if it is a 360. its pretty easy, even if you deleted all of your information/save files... but you would have to contact the ncaa football online support. it was a very quick and painless step by step walk through of how to recover it. I would recommend it. If you use teambuilder teams, you have to have the pass too! hope that helps!
