EA’s Dual Entitlement Program

While we’re working over EA for its shady sports game practices, it’s worth mocking the company’s Dual Entitlement program. This is essentially its approach for previous to current gen console upgrades. It’s touted as free but locked to the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 22 or the MVP Edition of Madden NFL 22, both which cost $100 (because it’s giving you two versions of the same game). Even more annoying is how cross-progression is handled with certain modes like Career and Online Seasons in FIFA 22 or Franchise and Weekend League in Madden NFL 22 not carrying over between generations. Oh and you only get two months after launch to transfer progress in the latter, just because.
