Madden NFL 25 News Post


Amazon has an exclusive Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition, according to Polygon's Samit Sarkar, which will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow at a cost of $99.

What's so special about it? Well, it's not as special for those of you that already have the DirecTV service with NFL Sunday Ticket. But for those that aren't subscribers, you can get $10 off every month for the first year and get a full season of NFL Sunday Ticket Max (normally $299.95).

You also get this...

Quote:
... exclusive content for Madden Ultimate Team, the series' popular digital trading card mode. Anniversary Edition buyers will receive 17 special Ultimate Team packs of cards, one for every week of the 2013 NFL season, with each pack containing two rare players, four silver players and four bronze players.

UPDATE:
  • For fans who are not currently DirecTV subscribers but are able to receive DirecTV service, they will receive a promo code entitling them to $10 off per month for their first year of service and one year of NFL Sunday Ticket Max at no additional charge.
  • For fans who are already DirecTV and NFL Sunday Ticket Max subscribers, you can access NFL Sunday Ticket on your computer, tablet, and mobile devices using your current DirecTV username and password.
  • For fans unable to receive DirecTV service, each Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition will include a unique code to access the 2013 regular season (17 weeks) trial of NFL Sunday Ticket on computers, tablets, and mobile devices- including access to the award-winning Red Zone Channel.
UPDATE #2 - According to Anthony Stevenson, Sr. Director of Marketing for EA SPORTS, there will be a unique code inside every box.

Is it true that if you get this, that they will also automatically renew you for the 2014 season or is that just a erroneous rumor?

It is my understanding that the promotion will work for subscribers as well.

To clarify, the Season Ticket is part of the Collector's Edition, not the pre-order.

Is it true that I can't watch it on my tv though, only mobile devices? I've been a subscriber almost 3 years, so that would be irritating.

To be honest, I've heard of a lot of people who just put an address in and say they 'can't get access' but I don't think this is actually checked on behind the scenes.

Then the code should still work for you. Just say that you can't get access to it in your area and you should be golden.

Pretty sure that is a rumor.

This promotion will work for subscribers and non-subscribers if I'm reading it correctly.

Same game? How so?

New blocking logic, new blocking interractions, AP running like AP, and James Starks running as James Starks?

I'm sorry your understanding from whom? That's not what is written. This is what I see

"For fans who are already DirecTV and NFL Sunday Ticket Max subscribers, you can access NFL Sunday Ticket on your computer, tablet, and mobile devices using your current DirecTV username and password."

Which is what I currently get for "free" by being a ST subscriber. Are you saying if I buy this and use the code I get mt ST for free this year?

Sorry shouldn't of quoted you was mainly commenting on the line of what current subscribers "get" because it was presented like we were getting something we don't already get.
 
# 54 Chrisksaint @ 05/17/13 02:42 PM
Curious as to what's considered able to get DirecTV, I live in an apartment place that automatically comes with Comcast so I don't think i'm able to get anything else.
 
# 55 Danimal @ 05/17/13 02:45 PM
Nevermind I read the other thread and article. As I suspected if you own DTV and our a ST subscriber you get nothing from DTV. You still get the MUT stuff though.
 
# 56 phantomfriar @ 05/17/13 03:21 PM
So I have Directv -- but I DON'T have Sunday Ticket. Will this will give me the tablet version of ST?

It's very confusingly worded but the ESPN blog writer said on twitter (and in his article) this IS the case.
 
# 57 The_Balm @ 05/17/13 03:57 PM
What I want to know for sure is, if I don't have DirecTV and I don't want it installed, but I could get it, can I get the computer/mobile access for free or can I only get it for free if for some more technical reason I can't get it (not I just don't want to pay)?

I hope this will work in Canada too

Is this Deal for US only, I'm from australia and if i can pre order it and use it in australia through my laptop would be mad.

Really hoping australia fans can use it?

I'm in S.Korea and wondering the same thing. Amazon's site says that it ships to select countries outside the U.S. but it isn't specific about the Ticket.
