Am I wrong to think that people who spent $110 on pre-ordering ultimate edition should get something in game that sets them apart from everyone else including those that subscribe to Play Pro? I mean that is a big commitment to put out there just to have people who didn't spend that for one game to get the same things. I'm not bragging or like waving my money in the air.... Its like people who give more towards a kickstarter.... They get things the lower tiers do not. Am I the only one who feels this way? I mean I did get something with this game i did not expect to get ... but I don't think that was because of my pre-order.

Hey there! I have preordered the ultimate edition via steam, Ultimate Edition does come with 3 Items exclusive to it:- The Midnight Ultimate Bundle which features a super badass futuristic skin for your character, gun and robot dog- Digital Art Book- Digital SoundtrackI cant tell you if it was worth my money yet since the game still isnt out yet but Im very happy about the purchase nonetheless, I think the best rewards come from preordering the Gold edition and upwards, even though the standard preorder is cool too.

@carsono311 Wrotepeople, myself included, have pre-ordered the game and we understand the risks associated.————————————————————-Its only money 😀 and not that many compared to other things in life.Im going to go for the standard some time after release and the buy passes.

would be super cool. im 41 years old. i had never participated in something like that. like i said earlier. i put 19 hours in. even when it was laggy and almost unplayable. i stayed to help.

@R1ckyDaMan19 Yeah but the thing with subscription systems is that the Idea of renting games instead of owning them is unappealing to me. I had ea play pro for a while and I really didnt like the pressure you feel to play EA games since you're paying for them monthly. Just my opinion tho

@frostgrenade Yeah I play fifa too and pay yearly, the cost for a year is basically the same as the best edition of fifa and I get all other new games as bonuses.

@AoH-XinXiu The main incentive to purchase the ultimate edition over EA play Pro is that you keep the game regardless of subscription, playing the game over multiple years quickly eclipses the cost of the ultimate edition.

@R1ckyDaMan19 What about when you have to buy new content?

@AoH-XinXiu I don't think any of us know the answer to that yet.

So you knew what you were preordering, actually preordered it, and then start wondering if you should have gotten more?

Is that correct?

Yeah bro I have my EA subscription and I purchased the game , isn't different at all the exclusive content may be the technical testers have something exclusive but I'm my opinion is not fair have the same stuff the people who pay 100£ and the people who pay the subscription because they don't own the game.

I pay a yearly subscription, and the last game I really wanted from EA was Anthem, and we all saw how that went.

Yes, I've played a few other games in between, but realistically I get 1 game (maybe 2 if I'm lucky) a year that I'm interested in.

So what you've paid, to keep the game forever, vs what I pay each year to carry on playing, it's kind of swings and roundabouts.
