Has anyone found any leaks (retail listings, code, etc) relating to any new packs?

(Nothing for March and April because of the fiscal year ending/beginning and they have to get their numbers together. However, I can totally understand that.)

Can someone please explain me (and potential others) what "fiscal year" means. Everybody says it, but I still don't know what it is.

I don't understand why they won't release anything in those months.

It's a year that doesn't necessarily start on January 1st (it can be April, July, or October 1st - the beginning of a quarter) and it's used for budget purposes.
So companies will draw up budgets for, for example, the year between April 1 2020 and March 31 2021 and report their finances for that period instead of January to December.

Since in March they're working on a budget for the upcoming year and in April they're totaling the income from the previous one, keeping those clear of any new releases makes the number crunching easier.

Thanks for the explanation :).

I don't think it's a logic I agree on though. Many other small and big companies sell stuff all the time every day all year around and they have no problems making statistics about what have been sold at any given time. It's just a matter of gathering data and analyzing data and I'm pretty sure EA has a team that only does that. It shouldn't effect game developing or marketing because other teams are working on that.

Right - most companies close on December 31st, but that's right at the end of the biggest retail season, and all sorts of things are released in November to take advantage of that. However, there's often a big push to get stuff out for end-of-year, whenever it might be, so it would make sense to get something out in February that will impact the books in March. They might also want to focus their publicity on the overall earnings in April (CEO announcements) rather than on individual games.

I'm afraid if we don't get a pack in February it will be May before the first gp comes out then we'll get the expansion in June. Prehaps though the free content in updates will make up for it in March or April. We'll see but even then I'll be surprised if we get anything big like cars or a baby update.

well the more time they get to do there work the better @catloverplayer
but I would still like to know what the pack is
