EA SPORTS™ expands your quest for glory by fully immersing you in the entire sports experience. Activating your Online Pass gives you full access to online features and multiplayer modes* like Online Team Play and Live Tournaments.
See the instructions and a tutorial video below on how to access Online Pass. Online Pass is available for EA SPORTS games on the Playstation® 3 and Xbox 360.
*Xbox LIVE Gold account also required to access online features.
*EA Account required for Online Pass activation. You can create an EA Account in-game or at EASPORTS.com/register.
*If you don´t have an Online Pass access code or it has already been redeemed, you can purchase a new one for $10 on Sony PlayStation® 3 and 800 Microsoft points on Xbox 360.
When you connect online with your new EA SPORTS game for the first time, you’ll be prompted to confirm your EA account details. If you don’t already have an EA account, you’ll be asked to accept our Online Terms and Conditions and then create an account. After confirming or creating your account, a screen will appear that enables you to redeem your Online Pass code.
If you haven’t already enabled Online Pass, when you try to access an online feature in your game, you will be prompted to enter your code. If you do not have a code, you may purchase Online Pass access from within the game. If you’re not sure online is for you, you can enjoy a temporary free trial before purchasing access.
The code is on the back of the insert inside your game. When you open the package, you’ll see the game disc on the right. On the left you will find the insert along with other printed material. Flip the insert over, and you’ll see the code at the top of the back page.
Your Online Pass code comes with the original retail purchase of the game. If the original consumer of the game did not use the Online Pass code, the second-hand consumer may use that code.
In order to access online features and bonus content for a specific title, you need to activate or purchase Online Pass for each title. A code to activate Online Pass is found on the back of the insert of each EA SPORTS title purchased new.
If you have purchased a new game, your code is printed on the back of the insert included inside your game packaging. If you have purchased a used game and the code originally included has already been activated, you will need to purchase EA SPORTS Online Pass access from within your game by choosing PURCHASE ONLINE ACCESS from the Code Redemption screen.
