The new catch-up packs are unbelievable...

Hi guys, I just read this interesting article: https://www.ea.com/de-de/games/need-for-speed/need-for-speed-unbound/news/update-to-catch-up-packs (Translate that if you don't understand German) A...

Hey @LuckyNico92

For your first question correct,

Using Volume 6 as the example... If you did not purchase the Vol.6 premium pass, and purchase the Dynamic Catch-up pack for $2.99, you will get all 45 tiers on the "free" track including the Free Car from that track. If you then purchase the Vol.6 car set for $4.99 you will get the Premium Car plus its body kits.

so in theory, if you did not purchase the Vol.6 premium speed pass or didn't play through the speed pass, you can buy the catch-up pack and car set for $2.99 + $4.99 to get the free 45 tiers and the premium car.

Answering your second question, using Vol.6 and Vol.7 as examples...

If you want to purchase all the tiers (items) that were available from the Vol.6 Speed Pass and did not complete it when it was available. You must have owned the Vol.6 Premium Speed Pass to get everything from the Catch-up Pack.

Owning the Vol.7 Premium Pass will not affect this.

Think of it as a way to unlock and get access to everything on last season's Speed Pass, if you did not have time to unlock it by playing.

One benefit, however, is that you won't need to purchase the Car Set, you would just need to purchase the catch-up pack for $2.99. (as the premium car + its body kits are included in the premium pass.)

Hope this helps!

@EA_Illium So am I right in assuming that the regular dynamic catch-up pack gives me all 45 free tiers from said volume which include the free car with its bodykits, and the car set pack gives me the Premium Speed Pass car from said volume plus its bodykits?

If that's the case, then I think it's actually a neat system. But I have one more question about it: Do you have to own the Premium Speed Pass of said volume to get everything from the catch-up pack in said volume, or can you simply purchase a Premium Speed Pass for say Volume 7 and then get the Premium rewards from said volume too if you buy the catch-up pack? I'm not 100% sure about it.
