Unfair Pack Luck for Years — Any Real Solution?

Hello everyone,

 

I’ve been playing FIFA/FC since 2015 and I’ve always loved the game, but there’s one issue that has been following me for years: my pack luck is unbelievably bad.

 

I’m not saying this lightly. I’ve spent a lot of time, effort, and money on this game since 2018 in Ultimate Team specifically, and yet my pack rewards are always far below what new players or even casual players seem to get. I keep seeing people who just started the game packing top-tier players, while I’ve been here for almost a decade with nothing even close.

 

It’s honestly reaching a point where it’s ruining the experience for me. I’m a loyal, paying player, but it feels like I’m not getting any fair return. I’m not asking for special treatment — just fairness, or at least an explanation.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Does EA ever address situations like this or review accounts with consistently awful pack luck?

 

I’m genuinely considering stepping away from the game because it’s becoming too frustrating, and I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts or advice.

 

Thanks.

    Hi there. The probabilities are the same for everyone. You can see them listed for each pack in the store. It would be good to check these first so you have a good idea of your chances.

  • That's rubbish, pack weight is not the same for everyone. How do you explain the same people pack amazing cards all the time, while the same people only pack fodder?  Aside from all the streamers and creators who have squads worth millions to go with their massive coin balance, us normal people simply do not have the same packs. I'm in a large FB group of "older" players and it is the same issue for many - Same people get amazing packs, same don't. I often feel my packs are poor because I don't buy points, and I don't play Champs. Just my thoughts.

    Streamers and creators are also only showing you the packs where they get something good. You're not seeing the many packs where they don't get good players. Pack weight is not dynamic. It's the same for everyone. Regardless of how you play or how much you spend.

    I swear to you on all that I own that the packs and accounts aren't equal in luck. My friend is new to the game and doesn't know how to pass the ball, yet he got a better team than mine, and he doesn't even spend any money on the game. You seem to favor newcomers and boost their luck, while my account has been around since 2018 and I've never once gotten the Brazilian Ronaldo in my life! I can swear to you that I've opened over 500,000 packs and haven't gotten Mbappé. This is completely illogical and makes no sense. Please look into my account's luck and improve it because I'm a long-time player and I deserve fairness.

    There is no luck to look in to. It's simply not possible to change the "luck" on accounts. What you get is determined by the probabilities for the pack.

  • My conspiracy theory is that you get better rewards when you buy packs with FC points v. coins. I opened 2 packs, 1 with each. The pack I opened with FC points gave me much better rewards than the one opened with coins. Coincidence?

    Other than that, just grind, grind, grind. Most of my best players came from Division Rivals rewards. The best player I packed was Thunderstruck Rivaldo from FUT Champs. Save all your fodder for SBC GUARANTEED players.

    Good luck!

    This is 100% false. I'm now locking this thread as the correct answer has already been given. Pack contents are determined by the probabilities you see in the store.
