Amidst the information released regarding the new Creation Centre features has been the problem of not knowing which features will be classed as “premium” and which will remain free. Until now…
The following details upgrades to existing components, as well as additions, which will be free.

Create A Tournament (New!)
- You can now create tournaments consisting of created teams, either your own or other publicly available teams.
- There are three tournament types to choose from:
- Knock Out
- Group and Knock Outs
- Leagues
- Choose which trophy to present to the winner.
Not bad at all, so here are the caveats and limits:
- Create up to 50 players
- Create up to 50 teams
- Create one tournament
Of those, you can have 50 players, 24 teams, and one tournament downloaded in game at any one time. There is no limit to the amount of times you can delete, recreate or download content in game or on the web, but the teams assigned in a tournament will count towards your team limit.
Here is the big one… Anyone can download anything created, premium or otherwise, for free, as long as it has been publicly published. I know a few people have been worried about premium content being locked to premium users so it’s a relief to have this confirmed. The premium side of premium content applies to creating and editing only.
