EA FC ❌ Money FC ✅

I feel your pain. To be fair, they post the odds and, so none of us can be too surprised when we keep getting those 104s and 105s. But the biggest crime to me is that all those lower cards we’ve all gotten are only worth 5 shards. That’s the equivalent of pennies when the meta cards are 1,250-1,500, and that’s what I find most insulting about this event. Because you could spend all month grinding at this event and walk away with nothing useful to show for it.

Probabilities are listed, so the odds are against you, and anything above is pure luck.
I agree with one thing — the current event seems to be flooding us with cards worth five shards, unlike past events, where we mostly ended up with ten or more.

Ragnarok and Captains are a prime example. I missed most of the 3k gem packs during that event since I was chasing 111 ADP and Pirlo in the side event, but I still managed to get Nedved in part one and Zidane in part two, both expensive (shard-wise) meta players. In Captains, I got Kahn and Marquez, and again did not buy many 3000 gem packs. Now we are near the end of week three in this event, and I barely have enough for half of what is needed to get Ibra or Thuram so half for one card.

EA seems to have some mechanism of providing high OVR rewards to their influencers and hacker buddies.

DONT TELL ME it is pure luck, how come the same influencers get the good cards again and gain while we keep packing s#it??

LOL… read up on the math behind weighted RNG and progressive probabilities in slot machine games before you post your sci-fi stories. Basing your opinion just on what you’ve seen or what influencers post on social media is usually nonsense, since all they care about is subs and likes. A lot of mobile game influencers spend a ridiculous amount of money in-game, so of course, their chances of pulling better rewards are higher simply because they’re opening more. On top of that, most of their content is pre-recorded and edited to look like they have insane luck, when in reality they’re just as affected by RNG as everyone else.

This becomes obvious in store events where your counter increases the more packs you buy. Ballon d'Or is a clear example of this, and it shows you a counter that the higher the number gets, the bigger chances of packing 112+ card you have. The reality is that most players get the same results — piles of common, undesired cards and the occasional decent pull. All of this is explained in the game’s T&Cs and the published probability statements, which are based on the math behind weighted RNG. You agreed to this when you clicked "agree" during the game install (that's on the side note).

Anyway, plenty of devs (especially on mobile platforms) who built microtransactions and loot systems have been sued over the years. EA is no saint either, and you can absolutely call out the lack of ethics in the business model used in FCM. But you also need to remember that if they ever got caught actively manipulating drop rates after all the lawsuits they have already dealt with, it would be the equivalent of lighting a match next to a barrel of petrol, as it would open the gates for more lawsuits. That is also why some countries banned pack sales and forced companies to publish drop rate odds.

Lets go to efootball.... This game suck very bad no solution they make after 26 update

5th time in 6 days the same player not any other 107... this same stupid player... How ?? 

Very TRUE mate! I spent all of my Gems and got nothing, when we say or complained of scripting they will threaten to ban our accounts, when we complained of lagging they will brush aside, this game is so corrupt! No morals whatsoever just to drain our time and resources

2lhg76zmv5fn​  It really depends on what part of the RNG controls what. Maybe it rolls for OVR first, then does another draw within that range, which is why you end up getting flooded with certain cards like 107 Paredes or 107 Colidio, but barely see any Raspadori.
Or it could be tied to specific cards directly, where the RNG just hits the most common ones across the board and everyone gets spammed with the same pulls based on how they configured it the "pulls/cards logic".  For example, within the 108 bracket, the highest drop rate might be for Dier and the lowest for someone like Adeyemi. Just going by what I have seen, using the cards I got the most and the least, but no one outside of the EA dev team will have actual knowledge of how EA's configured RNG and set the probabilities other than what's in the official guide and the game. That kind of info is obviously going to be a closely guarded secret by the EA dev team, so this is just speculation based on experiences discussed in my league.

With Ballon d’Or, I ended up pulling 20 Kokes and another 5 Isco and Goetzes, but hardly other cards (got a nice high end card on day 2 and then Koke after Koke with an occasional Isco, Sanches or Goetze :| ). At this point, I should probably just call it Koke d’Or, heh. Explain that?

bozc077qq2h2​ - EA hasn't really brushed off the lag issues. In fact, they acknowledged it, they simply have not fixed it (just yet?).

Configuring servers and networks for a global game using cloud infrastructure isn't as simple as just adding more servers or connections. Doing so can sometimes cause more harm than good. It also heavily depends on the netcode and how any changes affect the core game engine. 
Remember that constructive, emotionless, and factual feedback is very important. If you just vent, the key information can get lost in the noise and may be overlooked.

Well, I mean, I understand the frustration, trust me.
I literally got five Gotze 106, five Vlahovic 106, and six Gerard Moreno 106 from Ballon dOr.
And also seven Ndidi 107 and five Simon 106 from Anniversary.

I did get Rivaldo 112 from Ballon dOr, still not the 113 though.
And I opened around 30 packs, that’s 90,000 gems, 3,000 each.

And for Anniversary? My best pull was Giroud 110.
I repeat, Giroud.
I also opened around 30 packs for that, another 90,000 gems gone.

I understand the chances are small, but this just seems too much.
Also, my other concern is that the 106 and 107 cards from Anniversary are only worth 10 shards.
Bruh, how am I supposed to exchange for top-tier cards like Petit or Henry?

PIXLfps​  Pretty much. The issue is with extremely low probabilities that seem to have decreased with every OVR hike and each new event, not the fact that the current "pack luck" gives out mostly nothing (bar some happy moments in Ballon d'Or) because it's working exactly as designed.

Which just reinforces the point I made in my last post. Week 4, and I’ve barely cracked 1K shards, despite being in DR Championships in all three modes (that's a chance for quite a few extra shards, yeah, sadly that did not help despite having to put up with broken PVP gameplay). Based on past events, I should be at least double that by now.
