Online pass?

[BadAssMarine13]

Hi guys I'm looking to buying this on disc and buying the Awakened DLC to get the 100% but have no idea if the online pass is automatically given to you upon starting up the game, I read somewhere that the online pass cannot be obtained anymore leaving the online Co-op trophies unobtainable. Is the online pass given to you by default?

Afaik EA removed the need of an online pass for all their games.

From what I'm seeing online, you'll just need to claim the online pass from within the game.  Once EA stopped requiring the online pass, it was downloadable for free.

As @kanzenchaos pointed out. EA has all Online Passes available for free. The only ones I know of that still ask money for them is Sony and Codemasters.
The former doesn't have many games online anymore though.

Ah I see, so in theory when you're on the game the online pass will have automatically been given to you? Have I got that right?

I think you'll still have to download it, but it will be free.  After you've started the game and selected or created a saved game, you'll be at the main menu.  From there you want to select "downloadable content", then select the "Online Pass LE" to download it.
