[RANT] 70 Packs for a 118 OVR? The Pack Odds Injustice in FC 26 Mobile!

Hi everyone,

​I want to bring up a serious issue regarding the current pack algorithms and the "guaranteed player" system in FC 26 Mobile.

​During the Bundesliga event, I opened exactly 70 packs. After investing so much time, effort, and hard-earned Gems, it is only fair for a player to expect at least one 119 or 120 OVR high-quality card. However, after 70 openings, the "guaranteed" player the system gave me was only a 118 OVR Diaz.

​Here is my main criticism: Keeping the drop rates for 119-120 OVR players this low—even after dozens of openings—is a complete lack of respect for the player's effort. Instead of being rewarded for opening 70 packs, I feel like I've been penalized by being given the bare minimum from the reward pool.

​Are we going to see the same scenario when Ligue 1 drops this Thursday? EA needs to urgently review these drop rates and provide truly "satisfying" rewards for players who commit to high-volume pack openings.

​Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think this system is fair at all?

  • I agree, it a rip-off. But this is what EA does. They say, “Hey, we’re bringing back shards!” And you’re left thinking, “OK, great! I always thought the old system was better than the lousy draft system.” Only, that’s not what they’ve done. This revised draft system with so-called “shards” keeps the meta cards (i.e., the OVR 120 & 119) just as far out of reach as they were under the original draft system. All you have to do is look at the underlying probabilities and the lousy shards exchange rates to see exactly what they’ve done. It’s still just a crappy shell game to try and part the “whales” and the suckers from their money by dangling outrageously costly meta cards. The rest of us (which is to say the vast majority of the FCM community!) are STILL just second-class citizens because there’s no amount of grinding we can do to win a 120. To me, that’s EA slapping all F2Pers in the face. I refuse to be their dupe and I’ll be quitting as soon as the World Cup rolls around if this is the tact they continue to pursue.

  • They must at list give 119 pool A After 70 graft . To increase chances of getting gud players to every one. Make it team of the season Ea stop making it difficult 😤 after 70 pack openings. Increase the chances

    We can rant as much as we want but the odds will be the same for this and probably next events until they come up with some new scam they will offer us.

    I had the same issue. Invested everything in week one hoping for Gabriel or Rice (positions I needed upgrading). Ofcourse, I got 118 Thiago which I can only convert to some lousy amount of shard that will get me nowhere. Even 117s are rare. In almost 100 drafts I got 2x117 and thats it

    Shards are back is a half truth.. Long back I read a post where couple of guys were arguing about shards Vs drafts and the guy in favour of drafts but with better odds was pointing shards could be made much worse if they increase the nos required and that's exactly what they did now 😂 

    Technically the choice is back but with a very high premium is the verdict. 

  • RNG at play, you get lucky, or you do not. Probabilities are against you, always. 
    The past event I was pulling 117s left, right, and centre, ask Sanyosa​, he has seen the screenies :D
    This event, I got hardly anything, but to be fair, I am waiting for Serie A, so I havent event completed a draft cycle.
    The irony that another account in my household, its hardly used by the casual player, has hardly any resources, just did with two lots of 10 shard packs (1 week each), the said person got Halland, Berbatov and Kane, so yeah, I was rather unimpressed, but it just shows the RNG at play, LOL
