Woc Battle Pass and new playoff system coming
Looks like club finals are gone
Forum Discussion
As long as the microtransactions in WOC are not pay-to-win, and everything in the Store is obtainable with in-game currency (vs. locking items behind real cash), I am mostly OK with these changes. I've thought the last 2 years it's wild EASHL/WOC hadn't been monetized yet, so not surprised at what we're going to see this year.
EA is well aware that there are limits to how much nickel and diming players and community are willing to tolerate. In general, if you have a $70 game + paid Premium Battle Pass + cash only "premium" cosmetic items = serious community/Internet backlash.
I hope EA comes out quickly and clarifies that like other recent EA releases (i.e., PGA Tour), all cosmetic items in WOC Storefront will be obtainable via in-game currency.
The only "cash" items should be the initial Battle Pass and premium awards associated with the Battle Pass. Ideally, the Battle Pass should also grant enough in-game currency to purchase the next season's Premium Battle Pass.
End of the day, everyone should be able to get the full WOC experience via $70 entry point + initial $10 Battle Pass + otherwise simply playing the game. @EA_Aljo
@LuGer33x The premium battlepass will most likely just advance you through it quicker so you get all the perks fast. Not necessarily pay to win, but pay to get better quicker.
Oh sweet they used my structure idea - hopefully players will find the championship and playoffs themselves more rewarding with the added "weight"
