According to Twitter account FUTZone, which has already leaked several pieces of info on the FIFA successor, EA is said to be working on a paid Battle Pass for the FIFA replacement, similar to that of Fortnite.
Based on the leak, it can be seen that you can get swap tokens with level-ups and then exchange them for rewards. But the majority of the community is not very enthusiastic about the idea.
“A paid Battle Pass in a paid game? Nice. “
With the Twitter comments of the leak you can quickly see what the community thinks of EA’s possible Battle Pass. They don’t think much of it.
So we pay 80 euros for the shitty game and then pay for the pass every season…. Soo shit

Many of the users complain that EA just wants to make more profit by doing this, since FIFA is already a Pay2Win title as it is, and suggest making the game Free-To-Play for it.
And now we know this is the last year we play an ea game

It remains to be seen whether the FIFA23 successor with the Battle Pass will result in even more costs for the players. Maybe the Battle Pass will only replace the existing Season Ticket and everything will stay the same. We will keep you up to date!
