PACK CONTENT/PACK WEIGHT

All I get from the GOTG and FUTTIES Icons T1 & T2 SBCs is GOTG cards about 80% of the time, and from the FUTTIES Icons, I only seem to get female players and Peter the goalkeeper!

I have opened more than 200 of these packs, and I am CONSTANTLY getting fodder! 3 weeks of opening these packs! Hours and hours of menu grinding, only to constantly be fed the same discard waste!

I have now concluded that there ARE NO 98–99 rated male cards in MY PACKS! Can you pls investigate whether that is actually the case?

P.S. Pls note, even 99-rated R9 worth 11 million wouldn't get into my first 11! I would just like to see ONE 99-rated card come out of these packs for the fun and excitement of actually packing something special! But no, all I am getting are the same sad and pathetic cards over and over again!

 

  • Ok! THIS IS MUCH BETTER FROM YOU, EA! 🏆

    98-99 Player Pick! This has definitely improved the experience, well done! THANK YOU, EA! And to avoid any problems or compensation, I would suggest to say: "sorry" and change part of the description of the 98+ player pick to "Includes Icons". 😉 And keep the icons in, happy days!

    Now, maybe the price is a bit too much, but NO PROBLEM! I’d rather have it this way than not have it at all. (You don’t have to change anything. I would only suggest that in the future, 5 squads would be enough for this kind of Player Pick, but again, NO PROBLEM, HAPPY DAYS!) Also, if you keep icons in, 9 squads is fair!

    Let’s be real: It’s just a shame, now, that all the other packs are basically redundant! Because they simply don’t offer 98-99s often enough. And this is where I’m a bit torn, because now we have the ULTIMATE REWARD (Thank you!), and we have a grinding method that can actually get us those 98-99 rated rewards! I just think we should still have a better chance of packing 98-99s from casual packs way more often than with the current setup, but overall, I’m happy with the solution offered! And by the looks of it, so is the FC/FIFA community! 

    Therefore, I will close this post NOW, AND AGAIN, THANK YOU EA SPORTS! WELL DONE!

    PS. Sorry about the "🤡" — I really hope you can take a joke, bro! 😉 Sincerely yours, ME 🤪😘

    Hey SpartanLogan23​,

    Everyone has the same odds of pulling players as everyone else. I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your pulls, but pack weight doesn't change between accounts.

    That's fine, I am not saying the pack wight is different for any of us, I am asking to investigate 2 separate problems. And also, this is my feedback from my own experience. I am not saying someone else got better cards. I am  saying I spent significant amount of time and I opened more then enough to actually be able to pack a decent card. What I am also saying to you is:

    WE ALL GET THESE LOW RATED FODDER ALL THE TIME! 

    Throughout this game cycle, there have been 1000s of different errors, bugs and glitches, some of them affecting PACKS as well. What I am asking is very simple: can you please check whether the pack probabilities are actually working as intended? And if they are, then the probability of PACKING a 98–99 rated card appears to be WAY too low.

    Please note, the odds for individual cards are different, so naturally you are more likely to pack a lower-rated or less valuable card than one of the top-rated cards. And that is absolutely fine. However, when the probability drops below 1%, the margin becomes extremely small and the desired outcome becomes incredibly difficult to achieve — even after opening a very large number of packs, like 1 million opened packs may not give you a single 98 or 99 if the odds are less then 1%, in fact even a billion may not be enough. Imagine to open a billion packs, it would take you more then 100 years to open a billion packs! And there is still a massive chance that you would still not pack any of the 98-99 rated cards. 

    Now if you change it to 10%, it's still low but you are by far more likely to end up with 3 or 4 98-99 rated cards, after 3 weeks of grinding, and that is fair IMO.

    I'm not claiming that a high-rated card should be guaranteed. I'm questioning whether the current PACK WEIGHT is reasonable and whether the probabilities are functioning as intended (2 separate problems).

    Can you please confirm if the pack weight is working as intended? And if it does working as intended, will you increase the odds on 98-99 rated cards?

    Then we can make an informed decision about whether we actually want to keep playing and grinding these packs. If you were to tell me, “The pack weight is correct, it's working as intended, and we're not changing it,” that would be completely fine too. At least then I would know where I stand and STOP opening these packs like crazy.

    I've spent hours and hours grinding them, believing I still had a reasonable chance of eventually packing something exciting, only to feel like I've completely wasted my time and got shafted over and over again!

    Just to simplify it : we need transparency PLS

    It's funny how we have the same odds but one person can pack something and the other can't, if it's the same odds shouldn't everyone be packing the same amount of 96, 97, 98, or 99??  Or is it the same odds sometimes for some people in some places?? 

  • This pack thing is so crazy I've even stopped the grind and just do evos cause what's the point of opening 1000 packs just to see the recycling of the same **bleep** boring players or lower version of the high version cards that are out. Like I've packed Morgan 93 about 30 times while there's a 99, I've packed De Bruyne 89 multiple times too and there's a 99.  Like wtf

    EA Sports🤡🤡🤡,

    I am going to be like you in this post, EA🤡— blunt and savage! 

    You are STINGY, GREEDY and DISRESPECTFUL to your customers. Please, just look at these strange and embarrassingly poor rewards:

    What is THIS, EA🤡?

    I was forced to play more than 30 matches of a broken and borderline unplayable game for THIS!

    96 is the HIGHEST-rated card out of 10 x FUTTIES! 😂 I DO NOT KNOW ANY OF THESE PLAYERS! How are these kinds of players even FUTTIES? You guys have completely lost the plot if you think this is a fair reward!

    Absolutely awful promo followed by another awful promo! ALL DUE TO PACK PROBILITIES BEING BASED ON : 

    STINGY! GREEDY! DISRESPECTFUL!

    YOU DID ONE THING THAT WAS GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY — YOU OPENED THE LAB — but only because you failed in so many other areas, just to name one: FUTTIES BLUEPRINT!!!!!!

    NOW you have the audacity to give us discard waste in EVERY SINGLE PACK, EA!!!!!

    I mean, if I can’t even land ONE 98–99 rated card from a pack like this, then what exactly is the point anymore? I’m apparently not allowed to pack ANYTHING I actually want! 

    MORE THAN 400 HIGH-VALUE PACKS OPENED IN 4 WEEKS MORE THEN 1000 PACKS IN TOTAL, ONLY TO GET SHAFTED EVERY SINGLE TIME!

    And there are A LOT of players I would genuinely love to get. Instead, I keep packing these random NO-NAME cards that most people have never even heard of!

    This is supposed to be FUTTIES — THE ENDGAME — not a recycling centre for cards nobody wants!

    Well done, EA🤡. Keep your cards. Keep your broken and unplayable game! Next FC will be a🤡of a game TOO!

    STINGY! GREEDY! DISRESPECTFUL! 🤡!

    😠😞🤬
