@FuzzyPierce this doesn't stop you from Playing the game. in fact it encourages more play since it takes more runs to earn credits.... but that is a bad example. ha ha
all of you big rant people should read the article again. This is a significant improvement over previous passes. It locks NO content out. It only locks how fast in game currency is earned. THAT'S ALL.
If other online passes when a similar route, there would be a lot less complaints. This is a much more acceptable way to do things. It really does ring of the F2P model with the way it only slows you down a bit unless you want to be a premium spender.... In fact. this one should be called the PREMIUM PASS. If we have to deal with these dumb passes, I vote going this route
they are trying to make a not so great system a bit more palatable. yeah the whole pass thing sucks. but it exists. We could only dream that other games would have such minor things coming from their online passes.
You Guys are all just so desperate to hate this.... Read what it does. it only locks you out of earning credits in 1 of the multiplayer modes, the modes themselves are still completely playable regardless of using the pass, AND you can still earn the credits for accessories in the other mode, so literally the only thing being locked out is some points for that green snowboard you like..... NOT ONLY THAT, but you guys are saying it isn't fair to people without internet connections? They wouldn't be able to play multiplayer without an internet connection in the first place. this affects them in absolutely no way..... The only thing locked is something that people without internet connections wouldn't have access to in the first place, which is some points from an ONLINE mode. everyone needs to take a chill pill. This is a company trying to find a way to make online passes a little easier to handle and lock out something superfluous like point access in 1 mode. Yet you are so quick to crucify.....
