Subscribers to the EA Sports Season Ticket program can now access the early release digital download of Madden NFL 13 on both the Xbox 360 and PS3.
The digital copy of Madden 13 will expire early Tuesday (6am ET) after which a retail copy will have to be purchased. All game saves and achievements will transfer over. Every feature and mode is accessible during the Season Ticket period with the exception of Ultimate Team.
The ‘Season Ticket’ costs $25 and runs for a period of one year – providing over three days of early access and a 20% DLC discount for Madden NFL, NHL, FIFA, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and NCAA Football. For Madden there is also the bonus of 1 “Legendary Pack” and 24 “Pro Madden Packs” for use in Ultimate Team.
Feel free to join the Pastapadre Online Community within the game on the 360. Right now the community is public – so there is no password required to join – and games (standard head-to-head and Online Team Play) are set at 8 minute quarters on All-Pro difficulty.
For those who plan to but still haven’t made a purchase of Madden NFL 13 make sure to consider the Amazon deal which includes a $15 promo credit to use towards future purchases on the site, Joe Gibbs and Lawrence Taylor unlocked to control through Connected Careers and place on your Ultimate Team, and an Andrew Luck card for Ultimate Team. Release day shipping is free for Prime members but now does cost $7 otherwise. Purchasing through the links (360 – PS3) helps to support the site and future giveaways!
