Icon Packs

I think it is absolutely vile how EA released what was basically a guaranteed icon pack with no max rating yesterday in the store and I have just opened 3 max 91 icon Packs and got Hierro, Beckham, and Ian Wright while last week getting Roy Keane and Riquelme... Now I have to play champs against MEGA teams because some people were lucky enough to exploit a broken store pack. I just know some people are opening one of these max 91 packs and getting Zico or Ibra, so tired of absolutely dire pack luck, this is what destroys the game. I've opened every icon pack and every hero SBC which is sad I admit and haven't received ONE usable icon/hero, it's been straight fodder.... So so sick of poor pack luck. There should be a system where I can increase the chances for example, if I put these fodder icons into an SBC I shouldn't receive one of them out of a pack or at least should be getting something near their max value or something.

UPDATE: Have since done all the max 91 icon Packs, packed 2 Schmeichel, 2 Kluivert, a Shevchenko and a Lahm.... This is really PMO

  • The pack wasn't broken.  It was simply a boosted pack during FC's biggest promo, Black Friday.  Alot of us missed out on it!  I'm stuck with my Beckham, Scholes, and Desailly (thank god for him, haha).

    At this point I'm not even looking top, but for the amount I've opened and not got a single usable one is brutal bad luck 

  • Expect the expected from a company like EA. All they care about is getting you to spend money.

    Does anyone else feel like they pack better items when buying packs with points v. coins? I opened two packs, one with each. The pack i opened with points gave me much better players than the one with coins. Coincidence?

    Oh 100% the packs you get for free like SBCs are horrid 

  • Packing duplicates has been one of my biggest issues; but, I can see how this can be exploited to increase the odds of packing something much more expensive. I guess this is EA's way of making sure the majority aren't packing the high-end stuff. I hate it as well.

     Iban_Milan003​ at the end of the day, FC is the game that EA makes the most money from. It is no surprise why they would have tactics and systems in place that would force people to spend money. We have been complaining about why SBC's this year have been so expensive this year while rewards have been so awful and how it seems they want us to spend money to be able to complete SBC's. The other fact is, unless you spend money, you're more than likely to not have a competitive team. Even for traders it seems no card can hold their value for long so they have to constantly find and sell newer cards.

  •  I have spent all my birthay money on your bad game and get 0 useable player I spent 5mill coins that i invested on packs got abousolut nothing and then decide to do alot off icon sbc and got even worse why am I getting trash players while everyone else on tiktok snd insta get good team its not equal chance for everybody, like why they scam and steal from the poor but the rich get richer make it make sense F ea sport I am done 

    herr is some prof of how i get scammed all of this is from no limit rating icon and max 91 icon, this is legit daylight scam I wasted my money on this bs company and get 0 good from it theyvjust like to steal money from the poor people and make the rich people happy

  • Mbappe9544​ - You just got an introduction to what casinos are.  You go in with some money thinking you're going to have a great time and walk away empty handed with no money the majority of the time.  This is the tight line that games are walking right now exposing this idea of gamble culture to kids.  Let this be a lesson you remember, just because you're paying money for microtransactions does not mean you'll get value back in todays gaming world. 

    Also, be careful. . because you said you spent money and then stated you used 5m coins opening packs.  You don't want to add insult to injury by doing something illegal, spending money to do so, and then being banned for buying coins.
