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.

VaasBackHandLegendVaasIt 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 like they that they are getting rid of it, but for all of us who previously purchased the pass we should get some in game content back... such as in madden perhaps a compensation pack for Ultimate team same with fifa... BF3 maybe a gun? etc.

There reason is bullshit, the actual reason why is because they know that online passes will be useless in xbox one, so to make people stay in love with ea games there making all the old ones the same, so to speak.
