Thought it was great that they were giving out tags for the triple formula in DR, but I have now played 12 games (yesterday and today), and got 12x Premier League-tag.
What is even the point of giving out this many PL-tags if I can't get a single OVR-tag.
They should give out both a PL-tag and an OVR-tag for playing a game. Or on day 1 give PL-tags, on day 2 OVR-tags, day 3 again PL-tag etc.
Hope they fix this, because this is just **bleep**!

I would not have written it down in the same way, but I have a similar observation. It's however not only PL tags I get through DR, but I get PL tags far more often than OVR tags, which makes it unbalanced as you get tags you do not need far too often.
So far, I have gotten 35 tags (15 I got from not claiming UEFA Dreamchasers tokens from Wednesday's DR matches). I have not yet claimed the tags using TOTS Tokens A, so I can still (at some point later this week) claim 5x 112+ tag and 1x 114+ tag. My current tally is as follows:
26x PL tag
7x 112+ tag
2x 113+ tag
This seems to suggest that the odds of getting a PL tag is about 75%. I guess this may be on purpose, to not hand out too many free player items. But the consequence is, that those receiving the tags get frustrated as they need OVR tags but keep getting league tags. See above for an example, but I have to admit also I find it annoying. This may simply be a case of EA not realising that this would be a cause for potential annoyance.Would it be possible please to amend the probabilities of receiving the different types of tags? Thanks!

Okay, next day’s outcomes having played the 1 event match and 9 DR matches: 10x PL tag, no OVR tags. So totalling:
36x PL tag
7x 112+ tag
2x 113+ tagNot a nice division eh?

Update: I have not used the "Exchange Store" so far, nor have I used any tag, and my current standings are:
69x PL tag
12x 112+ tag
3x 113+ tagSo that means that for me, I have 82.14% (82 1/7) PL tags.
One thing where I am a bit lucky, is that on the last day of the previous event, I played 15 DR matches and didn't claim those rewards - which converted into 15 tags at the start of this event (as opposed to previous event points). This was not intentional, but I'm not complaining over it either :)
Yet I think it would feel quite a bit less bad if one would get one OVR tag on average per three matches. You'd still feel that there are too many league tags, but get to open a pack more frequently. And it kind of makes sense maybe, assuming that next week we only get Bundesliga tags and no more PL tags - so then at least you have some extra PL tags to spare. But EA have overdone that a bit with the current probabilities... 😉

The problem with giving a percentage of tag delivery is that some people are always favored. Look, I have more than 30 Premier League. And I can't exchange them. Does that seem fair? Some people can play without problems, others can't. Some can get a tag to finish the event, others can't. We just ask for a little fairness in this game. Otherwise, what is the point of building a competitive team?
- Kannix_NL16 days agoNew Scout
Assuming the game uses a random number generator to generate numbers between 0 and 100 (boundaries included), with thresholds as per the probabilities - then at least theoretically there shouldn't be a matter of some being always favoured - but I get your point, I also find it more and more annoying to have a day with 9 DR matches and 9 PL tags, which are all 9 completely pointless for me.

Well, I've played 12 DR matches and received 12 PL tags.
Business as usual for EA. No guide, no transparent odds and details and diferrent luck for each player. So far, event is not good for me.
- 1440666fd7e443ec20 days agoSeasoned Ace
Agree. Can’t understand why EA can’t get the basics right. There’s just no excuse for not providing more thorough instructions and some basic transparency into the underlying odds and mechanics. To me it all suggests that EA is intentionally hiding the ball so as to obfuscate the fact that this revised voucher system is no better than before.
- 4175499019 days agoNew Scout
yes there's a fair bit of smoke and mirrors going on... 70 instead of 100 draft for guaranteed pool a, but odds decreased from 2% to 1.5% (including even lower odds for the higher ovr)... it ends up no better off. But I do like shards instead of tokens, so kudos for that. TOTS generally is incredibly underwhelming.. one match a day only, and this ridiculous tag system.
- 11DeadlyKnights20 days agoRising Ace
The average number of tags you can get daily is most probably 2 out of 9.

I think every player will be facing this same problem. EA should introduce exchange option for league to ovr tags and vice versa. mendozzamagic bro let the team know.
- spankenyou18 days agoSeasoned Rookie
I have only received one OVR tag so far. I only have PL tags.
- spankenyou18 days agoSeasoned Rookie
Seems like another money grab, i.e., create frustration in this area to push people into the draft and ultimately spending money on draft tickets.
- x611x9dg462h18 days agoSeasoned Veteran
No news. I have the feeling that every TOTY/TOTS event favors some players... the vast majority never get good cards. I only got good cards in other events, in these... it never happens.
- 1440666fd7e443ec17 days agoSeasoned Ace
Can EA please comment on this question/thread? How are these tags supposed to work??? I’m currently sitting on 35 PL tags and can’t use them (because I can’t win any OVR tags). This seems stupid and pointless! Please clarify whether this design is intentional and, if so, why it’s not a waste of our time. And if it was, in retrospect, a flawed design, then please clarify this and indicate if/when a fix is going to drop.

Yep this is rubbish. got over 30 PL tags and only had 1 ovr one so far.
They need to give us the option of exchanging league tags for ovr ones.
- spankenyou17 days agoSeasoned Rookie
I now have 45 league tags and only received one OVR tag via division rivals. What is going on!!!!?
- x611x9dg462h17 days agoSeasoned Veteran
Tomorrow another tag arrives and you'll be stuck with the unused Premier ones. What a bad event.
- ngivz0f1ql1q17 days agoSeasoned Adventurer
All I got as of now are PL tags from DR. No ovr tag earned by playing the games there. So yeah, something went wrong I believe.
