EA eliminating Online Pass on existing games
"As we discontinue Online Pass for our new EA titles, we are also in the process of eliminating it from all our existing EA titles as well," Reseburg says. "We heard the feedback from players and decided to do away with Online Pass altogether."
When the rollout is complete, EA Sports games will no longer prompt players to enter an Online Pass code, and other games will offer content for free, Reseburg says.
NeoGaf member MMaRsu compiled a list of Xbox 360 EA games that already offer free content once barred by the Online Pass, including a free copy of the original American McGee's Alice, Bad Company 2 VIP, Mass Effect 2: Cerberus Network, and more.

Frog I'm so happy they are scrapping this, now I can save money and buy their second hand games and play them on-line :D
Same, I had to buy an online pass for several games but I still saved money though, since they're second hand :)

This is so awesome, I have wanted to get Battlefield 3 forever but I didn't want to waste the money on the online pass because Multiplayer is the best part of it now I can get it.

This is great as when you buy the game and have no code its shocking that you need to pay for more money to pay online.

AaronM93 Does anyone know when they are eliminating the online pass on FIFA 13?
Quite some time, I'd think 1.5 years most likely.

ChrxsyVaasBackHandLegendVaasIt was only a problem if you were a cheapass.SCOImGiraffe I now love EA
It wasnt really a problem anyway because if you bought the game new then you would get the online pass inside the box
Yeah, but if it wasn't new, you had to buy it online, and that's BS. Finally they did something good :)
You don't have to be a "cheapass" to not want to pay extra for something that should be included always, like any other games.
Back Hand Legend are you saying everything you have is bought brand new?
Yeah I didn't think so
I'm not saying that. All I'm saying is that if you're gonna buy something used to which you've already agreed it wont be playable online, then quit complaining. It is an EA creation, so shut your mouths and if you don't like it, make your own games, publish them in your own studio, sign a contract with a manufacturer, sell to various entities, and retrieve your profits. SO YOU'RE BOTH CHEAPASSES. Go buy it new if you want to enjoy all aspects of the game or just buy an online pass you cheapass.
