Purchase Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition From Amazon, Get NFL Sunday Ticket Free

[timbosliceGB]

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 drops

Ea has confermed that everyone that gets this version will get a code that can be used for the computer/mobile version of nfl sunday ticket no matter if you can or can't get direct tv service. You will not even have to sign up with DTV for this offer.

even EA's president has said everyone has access t othis offer if they get a copy of the game.

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 Ticket

Where are you getting that the stream would be in HD? I didn't see that anywhere, and most streams that these companies provide are typically not in HD.

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.

A) This is legal
and B) It'll work on iPhone and iPads

as far as i know most of those P2P sites are flash based.

I just called DirecTV and they said they pretty much have no idea if you will be able to access it if you could receive Directv but dont want the promo code, you want the digital code instead. The guy was kind of a snob. He says, "Sir, I'm not aware of any deals that would be able to have non-Directv customers access NFL sunday ticket, let alone a video game company." Anyway I told him to search online and he saw it and said sir I have no idea, let me talk to my supervisor, and after 5 minutes he came back and said his supervisor said there has been one other instance of this and that there is some deal where some lady typed in her access code on XBox and it worked. Which made no sense because the codes arent out yet and its the middle of May. So if you are going to call Directv looking for answers, they wont have any.

The DirecTV website says that regular NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL Sunday Ticket Maxx both show all games in HD, but only the Maxx is for computers, tablets, etc. So, I'm just assuming since regular Sunday Ticket has all games in HD then they would be HD on computers and tablets as well.

Just an assumption though, not positive. But, I'm sure that it would still be better quality then p2p websites.

So I guess this won't work on the PS3 Sunday Ticket app then? That's kind of a bummer, but I can stream my desktop to my TV via my Apple TV which is an acceptable workaround.

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.

LOL, you clearly have never seen the difference between secondhand TV broadcasts versus the DirecTV HD transmission or you wouldn't have posted that. Not to mention the headache of finding an illegal feed and the chance you have of getting malware.

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.

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.

EA Director of Marketing says that "eligible gamers" just means any gamer that has a code.

Yeah, thats only if you want to use the promo code. If you highlight the sentence before yours you see every game comes with a code to unlock the "trial" (which is 17 regular season games), anyone will have access to the digital sunday ticket

Okey cool. Thanks for explaining that. Reading the article confused me a bit. Then it seems like a pretty good deal for me.

The sentence reads:

"Each Anniversary Edition includes 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."

The special code is for "eligible gamers". The qualifying word "eligible" would not be in that sentence if everyone gets the free trial. It would just read

"Each Anniversary Edition includes a special code for 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."

That paragraph doesn't make it completely clear who is "eligible", but based on context, I would say that "eligible" = those who cannot get DirecTv.

Read my post right before your first post for that answer.

Dude, never call Customer Service for stuff like this, management has probably not even notified them about this and they have way more stuff to worry about. Nine times out of ten if you are keeping up on the internet you know more than them.
