    ULTIMATE TEAM PACK PROBABILITY IN EA SPORTS FC™

    EA SPORTS FC™ Ultimate Team displays pack probabilities*, which details the likelihood of what you will get in every pack that you purchase. We believe that providing you with this information will help you make decisions on where you want to invest your FC Points, Ultimate Team Coins, and time in order to build your best squad. 

    On the EA SPORTS FC™ Ultimate Team Store screen, you’ll see an option under every pack available for purchase that reads “Show Pack Probabilities.” Because there are thousands of player items in Ultimate Team, they are categorized by item type and rating. The percentages that you see are the minimum probability of getting one or more players in the ratings range and category listed. For example, if a category and rating have a 100% probability, you’re guaranteed to receive at least one item meeting that category description. Remember that a single item can fit within multiple categories.

    For example, a Premium Gold Pack in Ultimate Team may display percentages as:

    ITEM TYPE/RATING MINIMUM PROBABILITY
    Gold 75+ Player 100%
    Gold 82+ Player 18%
    Gold 84+ Player 4.2%

    Note: these probabilities are for example only and may not be the same as in the final product.

    Pack probabilities are calculated by simulating the opening of a very large number of packs for each pack in the Store. The number of packs opened in a simulation varies based on rarity, but it will always be enough to be statistically valid. We then re-run this process with every content update.

    Some campaign specific categories feature rare content. In some packs, the rarity of this content category may be less than 1%, and within that there will be a wide range of probabilities.

    Any probability percentages that you see are on a pack-by-pack basis and are not cumulative. That means that each pack opening is an independent event; opening multiple packs does not change the likelihood of being awarded an item from a specific category. If you flip a coin three times and get heads each time, you still have a 50% chance of getting heads if you flip the coin again. 

    Live content and new items are added to Ultimate Team for the current title on a regular basis, which could change the probability numbers throughout the season. Probabilities are accurate as of the timestamp indicated at the bottom of that screen.

    EA SPORTS FC™ Ultimate Team is a live service that we are always looking to improve. This means being open to player feedback at all times. We know all the effort you put into building up your squad, and we want that time to be as rewarding and fun as possible.

    *Pack probabilities are displayed from EA SPORTS FC™ 24 onwards.
