EA FC 25’s Ultimate Team Set to Introduce Controversial Paid Season Pass!

by

Summary

  • EA FC 25’s Ultimate Team mode may soon receive a paid season pass.
  • Recent EA FC 25 leaks suggest the paid season pass might include premium rewards like Evolutions and be purchasable with in-game Coins.
  • The upcoming TOTS promo in EA FC 25 could coincide with the launch of the paid Ultimate Team season pass.

The popular game mode in EA Sports FC 25, known as Ultimate Team, could be about to undergo significant changes, with whispers pointing towards the imminent arrival of a new paid subscription pass. Speculation regarding this paid season pass for EA FC 25 has been circulating for some time, but recent credible leaks have caught the attention of gamers.

Starting from its September 2024 debut, the season pass for EA FC 25 has been freely accessible for all players, offering rewards and additional content as they play the game. This approach set EA FC 25 apart from other sports games such as NBA 2K25, which rely on a paid season pass model. However, with the approaching Team of the Season (TOTS) promotion, it appears that Electronic Arts might be preparing to introduce monetized progression systems within the Ultimate Team mode of FC 25 for the first time.

On Twitter, reliable sources like Fut Sheriff and Asy Fut Trader asserted that a season pass for Ultimate Team will debut alongside Electronic Arts Football Club 25’s Season 7 on April 24, a day before the Team of the Season (TOTS) promotion starts. The details of the season pass are still undisclosed, but it is anticipated that some of Electronic Arts Football Club 25’s top Evolutions could be included in the reward track. The cost remains uncertain, but unlike NBA 2K25’s Pro ($9.99) and Hall of Fame ($19.99) passes, the season pass for EA FC 25 might allow players to purchase it using in-game coins instead of real money. This alternative method would be beneficial for regular grinders of EA FC 25 who desire premium rewards without additional spending.

EA FC 25’s Next Season May Introduce a Paid Pass for Ultimate Team

The seven-week event called “Team of the Season” will take place within EA FC 25, showcasing top performers from leading leagues. Kicking off the event is a lineup consisting of teams from Ligue 1, the Arkema Premier League (women’s Ligue 1), and Eredivisie. Interestingly, voting for the Ligue 1 team isn’t available, but fans can participate in selecting their favorite squads from the Premier League, with potential future opportunities to vote on teams from Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga.

In anticipation of this event, EA has launched a TOTS Warm-Up campaign within FC 25. This exciting opportunity allows players to collect free packs and accumulate Coins, which could potentially be enough to purchase the season pass.

Typically, EA employs the TOTS (Team of the Season) period as a trial ground for new systems ahead of the next FIFA game. The speculated shift towards a paid season pass could be hinting at an extended monetization approach for the Ultimate Team mode. Although some FIFA 25 players might feel apprehensive about this, the prospect of purchasing the Ultimate Team season pass with in-game currency could offer a more equitable experience between free and paying users, even though Asy’s “get your wallets ready” comment raises a few eyebrows.
