I packed 7 icons this week and 5 of them were Trezeguet (the other two Xabi Alonso and Desailly). Picks, packs and the GOG SBC, all roads lead to Trezeguet. EA seems to encourage me to skip the next edition of Ultimate Team.An EA consultant told me some time ago all packs results are random. And I "randomly" pack the same player over and over again, as if it's a single-player promo. The game works just fine, the pack results are not pre-determined and nobody trolls me with Trezeguet. GG, EA! You surely know how to motivate people to return and play Ultimate Team!

@goalierowlie They post the probabilities. When someone says they are random they mean you don’t have better odds than someone else.

@goalierowlie It's what EA have been doing since day one. Haven't bought a pack this version with cash at all. Pretty decent team. However when I see the number of teams with 5 or more GOTG icon cards? That's insane cash spent right there.

They say you have a chance of under 1% to pack a GOG icon? Fine. But they don’t say that you have a chance of 70% to pack the same icon. Especially when the promo includes other low-rated icons. This is where the story doesn’t add up: why am I being targeted with the same player over and over again? Is it predetermined? Is it a bug? Is this ratio a normal mechanic for absolutely everyone?

@goalierowlie I don’t think they ever said you have the same chance to pack the cards. There is packweights you are obviously going to have better odds to pack the cheapest card which you have so it makes sense.

I wouldn’t have had any problem with getting Trezeguet 5 times out of so few icons, if this ratio was the same for most players. However, I have yet to see on my Ultimate Team groups on Facebook, Reddit and X somebody packing Trezeguet at this ratio. And since on answers.ea.com no EA advisor ever bothers to give me an explanation, my suspicion that pack results are heavily predetermined remains.

Like I said I get it, I usually get the same player over and over or at least the lowest rated/valued over and over.
Tbh EA should have to publish the odds of getting a high value player vs a low value player, We don't have any of this information so telling us we have a 1% of packing a 94+ promo player isn't really that useful when there are hidden odds on getting a GOOD 94+ player.

I totally agree with you. This is what I suggested in another reply. If I knew that behind the low chances of getting a promo player are extremely high chances of getting the same (low value) promo player, I wouldn't have invested the time and energy into completing hundreds of SBCs. All I'm left now, after all this effort and lost time, is the burden of having special dupes, that impede me now from opening more packs. This promo has been far from being rewarding, it turned out to be a pure punishment.

I've just spent all day doing upgrades, must of done over 60 81+ picks, about 6 or 7 89 exchanges, around 6 88 exchanges and a couple of 87 exchanges, 2 totw sbc's, some 85+ × 5 and some 85+ picks.
I got carvalho, costa and a bunch of dupe xavi's.

You got dupe Xavis and no Trezeguets. I got 5 Trezeguets and no Xavis. And then they tell us it’s random and never predetermined. Still, no EA advisor from the ones roaming this forum came to give us an explanation. I wonder why.
