Yes, it's a free game and the item shop is cosmetics ONLY. There are/were a few random skins that gave a slight competitive advantage (such as being all black, or having an incredibly skinny torso, so the hitbox is smaller) -- and those were nerfed or otherwise taken out of the game. Epic Games cares about the actual gameplay and ensuring a somewhat fair experience, attempting to make the game accessible to everyone.
So all the blood, sweat, and tears i've shed to level up my comp pass mean nothing
What happens with the rewards you get at each level?
If I'm at level 20 and I purchase level 27 what happens to those rewards at levels 21-26?

You can’t purchase 27 without purchasing 21-26

My bad, I took it as you could just skip levels and buy whichever one you wanted. Thanks

Yes and good point
This was something that was coming to madden. It was discussed by some of the YouTube guys. I actually forgot about it until now. do you still get the rewards or does it just skip the levels?

They saw what 2k was doing, said hold my beer…
I mean, i'm not buying them but this pretty much helps out all the people that don't have the time to grind or they are behind on the comp pass so other than grinders, i don't see why people would complain about this. The community kinda asked for it
It’s actually kinda funny. You can only purchase up to level 45 season and level 27 comp pass.…. I happen to be at level 45 and 26…. 🤷🏻♂️
EA not even hiding pay 2 win anymore.......disgusting greedy rats

As it is right now is acceptable, it's for people to catch up a bit. (Although the comp pass one is sneaky because you should wait 8 days until you'll pull an 89 legend)
If it becomes a fast-forward method for whales, then it's a problem.
I'm not surprised EA is including it. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. On one hand it's EA being typical EA. It probably means we're one step closer to either an exclusive field pass you have to buy or the premium style of battle pass you see in other games like fortnite. On the other hand it provides more people access to the exclusive field pass cards. Particularly, those who don't have time/will to grind the game but are willing to spend money. I don't entirely think that's a bad thing.
At least right now anyone who grinds the game can still be ahead of the levels you can skip to. I think I'll be fine with it as long as the level you can buy upto is below what can be achieved through grinding. That of course will remain to be seen until later in the year.
