Since my complaint in EA FC 24 my pack "luck" feels way off, compared to others especially in direct comparsion with my best friend, who plays less and gets the worser packs.. At the beginning of this year (EA FC 24) EA made a coin swipe of over 700k on my Team beacuse I made a few thousand profit (in a short time) when an Evolution for Anthony dropped. Of course I never saw those coins again, even with waterproof evidence that I did not "Transfer Coins" (this happened to many other people too, who didn't want to spend thousands of dollars / euros in that game and tried trading).Since then my packs are near rubbish, especially in FC 25. I am Div 4 in Rivals, Gold 1 in SB, Make many Sbc, play nearly every objective and so on and I till now i packed zero Event-Cards. Also not many walkouts or coins / playable worthy cards (my best pulls are Neuer, Ederson and Donnaruma and That's nearly it). In the same time my best friend gets Rush James, Rush Dalot, Rush Wirtz, 2x Nico Williams, Haaland, Neymar, Messi, Walker, Maignan and so on and he plays way less than me.It's just suspicious and feels way off.

There is a theory that's circulated for a while that if you take a break from the game for a week or so, or play less frequently, the first packs you get contain some very good cards, in order to entice you back into playing the game regularly. It certainly works on the mobile version of the game, which my son plays. He only logs in once a week and packs so many very good or great cards.

This does need to be acknowledged. I'd assume the likelihood of packing a player is based off their rating. I've packed Enzo Fernandez at least 8 times already this game cycle; Van De Ven once, despite the same rating. Players can have the same rating but it seems players who are considered "Over-Powered" or have higher value on the market are packed less. Kai Havertz (83) is 900 coins on the market, Van de Ven (82) is ~40k. Of course, a desirable player will cost more on the market and maybe I'm underestimating how many people are buying Van de Ven's card but in theory he should be easier to pack.Completely understand desired players showing up less in packs (if this is the case), but transparency is needed. I've packed Oshimehn and Rice multiple times now, but why not Son? They're the same rating.

Completely agree, aren't we being told on store packs that the odds of packing players are based on the overall rating, not their overall rating but less odds for op players.Surely this would have to be stated on the pack odds otherwise the weight is essentially being manipulated.

I haven’t packed anything usable pretty much since game came out, that’s with spending about £120 on points. opened 250k hero store pack and got Ricken, then 86 hero sbc and got Ricken again and just now did 88 hero sbc and got Ricken AGAIN! And people don’t believe that everything is manipulated in this game, everything from gameplay to packs is just scripted.

I think the majority of players will feel that they don't have much / any pack luck compared to a minority of users. My son used to watch YouTubers opening packs and pulling great cards, then he'd go on his PS in the expectation that he'd soon have an Mbappe, Haaland, etc, and quickly come away disappointed. I think our three best cards so far in EA FC 25 have been gold Foden and Donnarumma, and Rush Marquinhos - decent, but not spectacular.

@BlueBoys1988 Remember when they were banned in Finland and EA actually responded by saying "we feel sorry for players in Finland as they will not be able to enjoy the game anymore"

Because buying packs was enjoyable to EA

In true statistical probability calculations, increasing the number of times doing something also increases the probability percentage of a certain event happening. But NOT with EA...
In their "ULTIMATE TEAM PACK PROBABILITY IN EA SPORTS FC™" disclaimer EA have very cleverly documented the fact that "Any probability percentages that you see are on a pack-by-pack basis and are not cumulative." Meaning your chances don't improve when buying more packs.
EA would be using a mathematical formula / programmed rule set to predict "chance" and there is a reason they don't disclose it, because at the end of the day, much like the way poker / slot machines are programmed to make you lose and keep you feeding in money and only very, very, very rarely have a big payout, EA's main objective is to keep you BUYING FC points. You don't become mega rich by giving crap away for free.
But I still believe that after opening so many packs equalling over 1000 cards I should have received at least 1 Total Rush player!

Pack luck has never been good. If anything your friends were just lucky.

Pack weight in general, for the vast majority based on what I have seen and read, is much worse this year than it has ever been.

@ricm0nkey It’s never been good. About the only positive over past years is you get a competitive team at discard price.

It's been better than this in previous iterations of the game, i'd go so far to say that's a fact based on the evidence on various platforms and the sample size of people.

I have this game for a while now and I buy a lot of fc points with real money. I have very bad pack luck in the game, can we do anything about it?

@gomarcoba42 Only thing you can do is not spend real money.
The game is rigged from the start, the house always wins.
