It's the news many FIFA gamers have wanted for some time. EA Sports have confirmed that it will disclose Ultimate Team packs odds in the next edition of the game.

"For Ultimate Team, when you buy a pack you know what you are getting. You are getting a certain number of assets that are guaranteed - and we're going to start to do pack odds disclosures that'll show you the odds of what you might get.
"That'll be in our product year 19 titles. So, at least that aspect of understanding what the chances are of getting X, Y and Z card."
Plenty of gamers have complained in the past about pack weight, and how players are distributed within packs.

Last month, a Reddit user has decided to do some interesting research on the popular FIFA game mode Ultimate Team to determine what he'd find after spending β¬3800 on packs.
In a post that has since gone viral, TapeTen details how he opened 651 packs while cataloging every single item on his journey.
In total, the gamer pulled 9961 items, of which 6992 were player cards, and 4483 were rare gold cards,
But what did he conclude at the end of his research?
n the 9961 items he packed, only 70 'in-form' cards (TOTW / TOTS) were pulled.

He goes on to state that the ones he did pull had little value, with a couple of notable exceptions. It may or may not come as a surprise to you reading this, but after spending β¬3800 on packs, Tape Ten packed a total of 0 icon cards. Zero.
In fact, the 'top 9' rare gold cards, rated between 91 and 94, were pulled exactly 0 times.
