New EA Sports FC 25 Leak Teases Paid Season Pass

Just when you thought Ultimate Team couldn’t squeeze your wallet any harder, here comes another twist with EA Sports FC 25.

A new leak has surfaced about EA Sports FC 25, and this time it’s got to do with—brace yourself—a paid season pass. Yep, that’s right. The Team of the Season event might not be the only big thing landing on April 24, 2025. According to sources, EA is about to roll out a season pass system for Ultimate Team, and as expected, the fanbase is already split like a referee’s bad call.

What’s Coming to Ultimate Team?

While EA hasn’t confirmed anything yet (classic move), the leak points to a battle pass-style structure arriving in Season 7. The pass would work just like you’d expect from games like NBA 2K or Fortnite, offering exclusive rewards for players who opt into the premium tier.

According to the leak, players can expect:

  • Exclusive Evolutions that boost player stats and card prestige
  • Premium packs loaded with FUT gold
  • Special players not available in the free track
  • Possible coin or real-money payment options (start prepping your budget now)

And because it’s EA, we’re also expecting a free tier with minimal goodies and a premium tier with actual bangers that people will be scrambling to unlock before the end of the EA Sports FC 25 season.

Will It Be Worth It?

Pricing hasn’t been revealed, but if they borrow from 2K’s playbook, we’re looking at something like:

  • Pro Pass – $9.99 USD
  • Hall of Fame Pass – $19.99 USD (likely with bonus XP or extra packs)

The good news? You might be able to pay with in-game currency. The bad news? It’s probably going to be an absurd amount of coins, unless you’re already stacked or living on the transfer market.

Community Reactions: Excited? Exhausted? Both?

Predictably, this EA Sports FC 25 leak has triggered a whole wave of hot takes across Reddit, X, and YouTube. Some fans are hyped, calling it a fun way to grind and get better rewards without relying solely on pack luck. Others are waving red flags, calling it another monetization layer in a game that’s already full-price and absolutely stuffed with microtransactions.

Let’s be honest—EA Sports FC has a history of “encouraging” players to spend real money. Whether this season pass ends up being a value-packed bonus or just another paywall will depend entirely on how generous EA decides to be.

Final Whistle: Smart Expansion or Sneaky Cash Grab?

So, is this a smart way to add value to FUT or just another slippery slope into pay-to-win territory? We’ll know more soon. With April 24 right around the corner and the Team of the Season hype building, it’s only a matter of time before EA officially addresses the EA Sports FC 25 leak.

Until then, start hoarding your coins—and maybe your skepticism too.
