There are two different boxed versions available. One containing just a code and one with discs.
It is highly visible labeled on the cover as "digital download only" on the former version.
One reason EA is offering a boxed version without discs is to provide a more presentable digital version that can be used as a gift.

Another reason is that it's cheaper per unit to not include a disk and that adds up over a few million copies. ;^)
..and it is of course more environmentally friendly. 🙂
Very true. Disks have all that nasty thousand year half life plastic and such whilst a paper card with some biodegradable ink are gone in the wink of an eye back to nature. Profits always feel more warm and snuggly when you can add in some green movement appeasement. ;^)
