EA FC 25 fans furious as “pay to win” Premium Season Pass leaks

As a long-time fan of FIFA and FIFA Ultimate Team (UT), I have always enjoyed the sense of community and competition that comes with building and managing my dream football squad. The thrill of opening packs, trading players, and earning rewards through gameplay has been an integral part of my gaming experience for years.


The anticipated release of EA Sports FIFA 25 on September 27 has sparked leaks about its gameplay features. However, whispers of a Premium Season Pass have enraged some gamers.

“Another frustrated fan suggested changing the phrase to ‘we’ll have a useless extra pass,’ and the current free pass will become chargeable. Some fans went further by labeling the game as ‘pay-to-win.'”

The criticism against FIFA and EA Sports for being “pay-to-win” due to their microtransactions was unexpectedly addressed by the developers. Previously, players could acquire more packs through the season pass, but this may no longer be an option.

“Displeased. Urging players to splurge extra cash on the game,” was a comment from another player, garnering over 3000 likes.
