I’ve learned my lesson about spending money on this game.

Bought both the golden platinum packs, bare minimum. Got my makerights, bare minimum. Bought the new plat pack today, bare minimum. I’m done spending money. I’m just gonna hope this 10 mil carries me throughout the year.

It used to be way way better, opening packs was reasonable and fun and then EA got greedier and greedier every year.

I opened mine in the middle of government class and got minimum lol

I believe I have come to an understanding. It appears that if your team has reached a certain level, or if you possess a substantial amount of coins, the system may not provide you with the same advantages in pack openings. It seems the system strives to maintain a balanced playing field, particularly for those who do not make in-game purchases. I observed this when a friend, after a month-long break from the game, returned and purchased a few packs, subsequently acquiring several highly sought-after cards. This allowed him to either enhance his team with coins or retain the valuable cards he obtained.

While I don't doubt your friend came back after a month, spent some money and rippped something of value, that's where the story ends. EA is not setting pack odds based on the hours you've logged on or off the game, nor by how many coins you have. It just rewards spending. That's it. It doesn't care if you are a 99 OVR god squad, your pack odds are the same. and only boosted when you swipe that card, baby. From what I can tell, EA is pretty poor at catering their UT product audience with what it wants, but EA's not careless enough to set itself up to be sued into oblivion.

I don't think you get what I posted. Not off hours, his odds will be better to help catch his team with everybody else. Reread that post again, please.

Okay ngl… I see your point. Because rn im a 97 overall with 10.5 mil and have gotten hoed in 4 straight packs and my pack luck when I wasn’t that good was insane. For example during Thanksgiving I was like a 90 overall browns TT and pulled double LTDs in the turducken packs when they were both 2 mil.

Facts!  Im not sayin im entirely right , im just sayin the cpu try to keep everyone same level if u buy or not.  Look at some off my other post when I talk about coins. Nobody will have advantage over nobody with teams.  It boils down to if u can play or not..

Hope that helps!

Just one more thought on what you said, so you really think that if you have a 99 team and 15 million coins you're gonna get good pack luck? The only way you're gonna hit is if you keep spending money until you hit maybe 100-200 bucks in. My opinion is that a person with a 90 or 92 team will hit on the first or second pack they buy. While the person with the higher team and 15 mil will hit on 5-10 packs, (LTD or good cards)if even. Rerolls are the perfect example. @JDrum99

I never asserted the veracity of any statements; I was expressing my personal opinion. For instance, please refer to his response to my comment.   This not a debate ,  it just my pov.  Take care

Not short of coins but still debating buying this offer, how much do the 88s QS for?

I understand people spending money on this game but it blows my mind why anyone would spend money when they have the coins to buy the cards they want.

Because people are always chasing the high
