EA Sports FC 25 offers a season pass that users can pay for, as confirmed by the developer.

Do you enjoy playing EA Sports FC? Well, it looks like the creators at EA are planning to add even more expenses to the game. In addition to loot boxes, there will now also be a paid season pass for players to purchase.

Sports games have always been a hot spot for publishers to make money, especially with the dedicated fan base willing to spend on in-game items and cosmetics. And EA Sports FC, formerly known as FIFA, is no stranger to controversy surrounding its additional expenses.

But it seems like EA is not shying away from stirring the pot even more with the upcoming release of EA Sports FC 25. While the paid season pass was not announced during the recent cover art reveal, developers have confirmed that it will be available for Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and Pro Clubs.

This new pass, called the Premium tier, can be obtained with real money or in-game currency and will offer similar rewards to the free season track for Ultimate Team. These rewards include extra XP, player packs, unique players, and coin boosts. However, unlike the free track, the Premium tier cannot be purchased right away and must be earned.

Producer Karthik Venkateshan explained, "You can go back into the game and see the free tier as it was in 24 - then the premium pass is something we're adding on top. That'll be a shared thing across Clubs, Career and Ultimate Team. That's new for 25."

While there are no screenshots of the pass yet, design director Richard Waltz assures that everything in the paid tier can also be earned in the free tier. This may suggest that EA is hesitant to promote this new feature, possibly fearing backlash from fans.

But this is not the first time that EA has faced criticism for their monetization tactics. The infamous launch of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 forced them to reconsider their plans, and they may do the same if the paid season pass proves to be unpopular.

At the moment, it seems like fan opinions are divided on the pass, but it's worth noting that these opinions can change quickly. And EA knows this better than anyone.
