Inquiry into Pack Luck Discrepancy in FC 25 Ultimate Team Mode

Dear EA Sports Team,

I trust this message finds you in good spirits.

I am reaching out to discuss a matter of concern regarding the pack luck in the FC 25 Ultimate Team (UT) mode. As an enthusiastic player who has been deeply invested in the FC(FIFA) series, the excitement of building my dream team through the pack-opening mechanic is one of the key attractions of the game.

In the UT mode, the randomness of obtaining high-quality player cards through packs is a significant factor that determines the strength and competitiveness of one's team. However, I have been experiencing a peculiar pattern with my account in the latest game, FC 25.

Throughout the launch period and beyond, my account has consistently been underperforming in terms of pack luck. Despite numerous attempts, the highest-rated player card I have received is an 86-rated card, which is not only a disappointment considering the overall player pool but also does not meet the expectations for a top-tier card (Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, for instance).

While I am aware that the pack-opening system is intended to be random, the consistent absence of high-caliber players has led me to question if there might be an underlying issue with my account. I am curious to know if there is a possibility that my account has been inadvertently flagged or if there is any other explanation for this string of bad luck.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and provide some clarity or support. Ensuring the integrity and fairness of the pack-opening system is crucial for maintaining player trust and enjoyment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am looking forward to your response.

Warm regards,

Jialin

  • Hey all, pack luck is not a thing and never had been in the game. 

    You have the same chance of packing any one item as any other user.

  • Hi,

    I hope you are doing well. I have been confused by my pack “luck” this year. I have been playing UT since 2011 (2015 is when I started playing seriously). I have never ever had such bad luck in packs. Almost everyone complains about this problem every year including me, but this year has made me believe that maybe my account got flagged or something. I have opened almost every possible free pack from objectives and sbcs, and I have bought many packs from the store. I cannot seem to pack any players that are usable or sell for anything, but honestly honestly that is kind of expected. What confuses me is the amount of 86+ I have packed. I have opened multiple packs (probably around 20) that have around a 70% or more chance of getting a walkout and have only gotten 88 rated Messi once and 86 rated Trent Alexander Arnold twice. I always seem to get either the minimum possible rating or one higher than that. While my friends that are starting to play this year or are coming back to the game are packing icons and expensive players in almost every “good” pack. I don’t know if the system rewards those that play less to try to hook them in, but I really hope it does not because that would be unfair. 
    I really hope my luck changes because if not I’m gonna have to stop playing. I played FUT champs today and out of (2 77+x7, totw pack, 81+x11, and 85+x1) only got one walkout out of the 85+ pack. Other than that my most expensive player was Nuno Mendes who currently goes for 1800 coins. Also from my totw pack I got a card that barely even sells. He’s worth his discard value.

  • Noo

    The pack luck is not the same

    I just pack 81 rated players max 85

    Even if I buy a pack

    I still get shotty players

  • I already opened a case due to this problem I had a couple weeks ago, the admin said he would send my issue to his bosses and get back to me through email and I sent 2 follow up emails and nobody ever got back to me. I'm a loyal customer who spends alot of money on FC points and I told them if you guys are just gonna blow me off I'm not spending anymore money on this game. I spent over 300$ already and as I told the admin before I bought some of the most expensive packs I've ever seen some packs equating to 30$ of real money and in those 3 packs my best player was Vitinha who I already had in all 3 packs in a row you cannot tell me that's not a glitch it's beyond infuriating after spending 70$ on that pack opening alone. And just now again I got my rewards for Squad battles and I finished Elite tier 1 and once again i got the bare minimum in those packs and it was the same players I already had I've now packed Vitinha 3 times Bruno Gumaries 3 times Xhaka 3 times Grimaldo twice and Andy Robertson twice and Katoto twice every time I pack a decent player I end up packing them multiple times and get the bare minimum in every good packs I am beyond unhappy with this and I didn't even want my money back I just wanted some compensation maybe a legend card or to let me open the packs again otherwise it ruins the game for me and this is the third time now I'm complaining about this issue and nobody has taken it seriously If I don't get any help I'm gonna spread this all over my social medias and I'm never gonna pay money to buy packs ever again I'm just asking for a little glitch fix and small compensation for a loyal customer who spends alot of money I don't think that's too much to ask from any business to a loyal customer please email me at [edit: email address removed] thank you for your consideration 

  • I'm having the same issue, i don't know if i've been flagged but my pack luck is horrendous. I have never gotten good rewards from Rivals or Champs this year, i've already spent so much money playing this game but my pack luck is actually horrendous. Don't tell me the pack luck is the same when i see all my friends packing Mbappes & Van Dijks when i can't even pack a single usable player. I had to put everything into sbs, i hope this changes because i've been playing since FUT came out & have never seen this kind of pack luck. I don't know what you guys are doing there but you guys need to sort this out, it's getting ridiculous

    Going to go ahead and lock this thread as it's just going nowhere and is full of misinformation.

    Pack luck is not and has never been part of the game.

    It is not random, I have had a warning about quitting games early after being reported and slating EA on forums for the poor gameplay and the scripting. Since the warning and the truth about EA my pack luck as gone from packing di natale WW and UCL Haverts and UCL Frimpong to not packing a single special in the last 4 weeks. No TOTY or TOTY HM Nor have i packed any Future stars. EA control who gets what and when. Bear in mind ive done multiple icon/hero sbc's 83 x 10 about 30+, 30+ 84 x 5, some of them i am getting 5x84 gold cards. EA are a tin pot company who need burning to the ground, typical dodgy american company. I spend 100's of pounds a year on EAFC for myself and my boys and they repay me by treating me like a fcuking idiot.
