Pack Luck + Skill moves

Hello!

As a seasoned old (I'm very old) gamer, who likes to play a bit of FC24 (Previously Fifa) would like to ask the community a couple of questions.

1. Previous editions of Fifa I would be pretty lucky to pack the odd useable promo player, via SBC's, Rival awards, and FUT champs, but in the last 8-9 weeks since the game has been released, none! I've packed a couple of TOTW players but nothing usable, I'm not touching FUT Champs until the rewards and the possibility of getting one has improved.

I've done hundreds of SBC's, opened objective packs, rewards from rivals and SB and nothing, lots of 83 & 84 rayed players, anyone else??

2. Is it me, or is the only way to win games is to R1 dribble? I've noticed not one online opponent executes ANY skill moves to beat midfielders or defenders against me like a reverse elstico, or a simple ball roll, in the game there must be a 100 different skill moves, but everyone uses one! R1 dribbling.

I personally don't want to copy everyone's tactics and just play with R1, i would love to play out of midfield using skill moves, but seems impossible due to the consent pressure.

The last couple of seasons I've been happy competing in elite division, and division 1 & 2, but with the current situation I cant grid out of Div 5 due to these poor mechanics of 71 depth and R1 dribbling - anyone else??

Happy for help, tips or advise.
