From EASports.com FAQ its about as clear as can be:
Is a DIRECTV subscription necessary in order to view NFL Sunday Ticket via computer, mobile or tablet?
No, it is not necessary to have a DIRECTV subscription. Each Anniversary Edition a special code for eligible gamers giving them the opportunity to unlock a special, 2013 regular season (17 weeks) trial of NFL Sunday Ticket on computer, tablet and mobile devices.
^^There you have it folks, there should be no more questions about "I live where I can get Directv but don't want it, do I have to get it?" Answer is no. Digital will work for everyone.Comment

I wonder will this offer be extended for M25 on a/the new consoles. Maybe there will be more news on that after May 21st or whenever the official reveal is for M25 next gen.Comment

You have to read it properly. It says that "eligible gamers" likely those who cannot get Direct TV will be able to get the streaming package instead. It is worded in such a way that they could go any direction with it. You will still likely have to check a box online that says you cannot get DirectTV,but the point is no one knows. You could be required to enter a credit card and to call and cancel your subscription before you are auto billed next year and you may have to endure a ton of DirectTV marketing and maybe even a business house call to try to sell you on the service.From EASports.com FAQ its about as clear as can be:

No details have been provided. All we know is that "eligible gamers" can get the streaming service without signing up for DirectTV. It's likely just legalese because of DirectTVs contract with the NFL but no one knows because we do not know exactly what an eligible gamer is in this context. Is it extremely likely everyone will be able to get it just by jumping through a couple hoops? Yes, but EA is not clarifying the issue and no one can know for sure.
In any case just pre-order it on Amazon and if more details come out you can just cancel it. However, it is likely no one will know for sure how this works until after it has shipped. None of us know with complete certainty we are getting free streaming Sunday Ticket. For me, it was worth the price because you get 17 card packs for free with it anyway but it's worth a $40 gamble anyway.Comment

Exactly. How many times do they have to explain that you dont need to sign up to get it digitally? 10? 50? 100? Theyve stated multiple times you dont need to switch to dtv if you can, dtv just wants you to. Here are the options.
1 - If you're not a directv subscriber you get a season of Sunday ticket on your computer/phone/tablet. Nowhere else. Not on your Xbox, not on your PS3, nowhere else. It does not lock you into a 2nd year of service.
2 - if you are a subscriber to Directv *AND* already pay for Sunday Ticket basic, this will upgrade you to the next level of service that adds access on computers/phones/tablets.
3 - if you are a subscriber to Directv but do *NOT* want to pay for Sunday Ticket, this code will allow you access to ST on computers/phone/tablets only.
4 - If you are not a subscriber to Directv but want to be, this code will give you 10 dollars a month off your basic Directv service *AND* a year of Sunday Ticket for free, which is viewable on your TV. This option requires a 2 year commitment to Directv, but *NOT* a 2 year commitment to Sunday Ticket.Comment

Hate to be negative Ned here, but nothing is ever free. Your just paying an extra $40 for a code that's basically a trial period. That hopefully will get you to change tv providers. Don't get me wrong it's a great deal and more power to the guys that do it, but I'm not getting sucked into this. If Time Warner didn't have the NFL Network and Redzone channel...then maybe I'd think about it.Last edited by jbd345; 05-20-2013, 11:14 AM.Comment

um you also get 100 dollers worth of mut cards with this deal so it's pretty much a 400 doller value for 40 dollers more a die hard madden fan and die hard nfl fan would be dumb NOT to order this package.Hate to be negative Ned here, but nothing is ever free.

Re: Purchase Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition From Amazon, Get NFL Sunday Ticket Fre
So I pre ordered. Cant get directtv at my house. Hope ea will clear up before release or guarantee that everybody who pre orders at amazon will get the season ticket or will only 50.000 ps3 users and 50.000 xbox users get it and the code inside will give you 10 dollars of each month and gives you a chance to be one of 50.000 who will get one year for free. Cause if thats the case I will cancel my pre order. Dont really care much for mut. Only play it till the week 1 roster dropsComment

You can already stream games on the internet through various p2p forums so I really don't see what the advantage to doing this is. It might be worth it if you were thinking of getting Directv anyway, but as I said previously they gave away Sunday Ticket to new subscribers last year for nothing. This is clearly just an advertising ploy for Directv to get people who are buying Madden to switch to Directv. No thanks for me.Comment

Umm, I would gladly pay an extra $40 to get all Falcons games in HD on my computer rather then watching them in garbage quality on firstrow. Not to mention, my computer will be hooked up to my TV so it will be like having regular Sunday TicketYou can already stream games on the internet through various p2p forums so I really don't see what the advantage to doing this is.
