Re: Inquiry into Pack Luck Discrepancy in FC 25 Ultimate Team Mode

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.

    @franitu2000 I genuinely think I’m shadow banned for some reason the pack luck my group of mates have compared to me is ridiculous.

    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.

  • 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'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

    Same I've put hundreds ofpounds in and my two mates packed about 5 toty each including hansen then r9's 90 rated card from the weekly objective. They barely play the game. I also got the honourable mention German rb in every store pack marked as having one in it or toty icon. Every single store pack was her. I'm done i don't even finish rivals anymore. Div2-3

    How can you say “pack luck is not a thing” when you’ve got a >1% chance of packing the best players so some people will get lucky and others won’t meaning certain accounts won’t win anything and other accounts will win everything. You’ve created a casino like dynamic then claim that luck isn’t a thing what the hell 😂😂

    I just finished fut champs with 9 wins on a gameplay that was horrible, finished the crafting upgrade in 2 days and got no special card. I don’t count totw nowadays as special. On the immortals pick I got the worst options, the 12 k cards. While my buddy got Marmoosh on the grind pack. My team is sbc based and evolution so Darko pls don’t lie.

    Your confidence acompanied with a short response shows the lack of attention you have with in the game. The majority of users can agree when I ask you these rhetorical questions. Why is odegared a constant player that alot of us pack? Why do the majorty of users pack 83 rated players and below, rather than 85 or higher, when infact there are more 85-84 rated cards combined than just 83 rated players? Why recently when team of the season came out the majority of people kept packing the same 92 93 and 91 players, if you watch pack openings on YouTube and read the chat on twicth streamers almost all of them have packed the same diplucates. These questions arent  a matter of a guessing game from me but a obersvation and a overall conclusion of the average user experience. Seriously ask yourself, if it was really a matter of chance and only chance, than how come so many of us packed the same team of the seaon packs? Why is the higher rated card not packed to the point its put in duplicates but the same low rated card is consistly packed to the point it is in our duplicate section. That obervation alone isnt chance, a lot of us packed Gold odegard which is one player but the same isnt with gold Mbappé, both are one card out of many but somehow we all keep packing one over the other. Millions of players have this game but the ratio from the amount of users vs what they pack isnt as diverse as it should be. More players should mean more diverse pack opening and also the opposite (packing the same thing over and over again) but that isnt the case, you have a wide pool and within that pool only factor is happening. Mathimatically it doesnt add up. Chance would mean both ends of the spectrums would happen with in this wide pool, once again the specturm is more people packing diverse packs and at the same time packing the same thing again, we should see both things happening when you have more players join the game but we only see one end of the spectrum going up.

    I've opened hundreds of varied packs since l1 tots launched, I have yet to pack a single one of the psg players, I have Blas or whatever he's called 6 times...

    I've literally spent god knows how many hours doing sbc's and it feels like a complete waste of time.

     

    Edit: just did another 5 of l1 & d1 upgrade and got another Blas...

     

    Edit 2: packed Blas 8 times now.

    Why is ur comment marked as a solution, you said the most useless thing possible. Mathematically your comment doesn’t even make sense. Pack luck isn’t even what’s so ever.
