What is the pack weight for sbc and store packs?

Hi ea, What is the actual pack weight for each store pack and sbc packs? How is the weight distribution for players with same rating? Is it random because it doesn't seem so. And why are duplicates not allowed to be restored more than 5 a month? Because getting a duplicate player is not a users problem but it is your random mechanics that generate these many dupes and with almost every store pack being untradeable, I don't see any value that you provide. In fact none of the store packs that I bought with coins have any sort of equivalent value in coins(to say the least). And I'm pretty sure with the amount of users buying these packs, the pack weight behaves like a lottery. And I agree that users have the choice to buy/not buy, but pack weight and player selections are some things which are designed by ea algorithms. So is the weight distribution of players with same rating random in packs?

Correct. Packs are weighted according to the probabilities shown in the store. There is no bias based on what items are priced at in the Transfer Market. 2 players with the same overall have the same chances at being pulled according to the probabilities listed.

Hi there, @siv283

You can see the pack probabilities in the store.

@EA_Aljo but the probabilities don't mention the probability of players with same rating. It's just mentions overall rating

Correct. Duplicate items are possible.

I'm not talking about duplicates. My question is simple, is there weight assigned for each player with same rating?

Different players with the same overall don't have different weights.

@siv283 A chance in a billion to get a card worth 2k or more.

@EA_Aljo ok so that is the official stance that no 2 players with same overall will have different weights. And there is no bias based on player price too correct?

Is this still the case in FC 25? It is impossible that 95 Angerer was packed as frequently as 95 Henry. They were both 95 rated promo cards in the same promo.

Think you’ve answered your own question, it’s simply not the case anymore (if ever). Certain players have their own probabilities. If you apply their logic, you’d be packing gold Rodri just as much as Mbappe since release.
