Pack Probability in FIFA Ultimate Team
FIFA Ultimate Team displays pack probabilities*, which details the likelihood of receiving player items of a certain type and minimum rating in every pack. We believe that providing you with this information will help you make decisions on where you want to invest your FIFA Points, FUT Coins, and time in order to build your best FUT squad.
On the FIFA Ultimate Team Store screen, you’ll see an option under every pack that reads “Show Pack Probabilities.” Because there are thousands of player items in FUT, they are categorized by item type (Gold, Silver or Bronze) and rating (OVR). The percentages that you see are the minimum probability of getting one or more players in the ratings range and item type (i.e. overall category) listed. For example, if an item type and rating have a 100% probability, you’re guaranteed to receive at least one player item that matches that category description. Remember that a single player item can fit within multiple categories (e.g. a Gold 83 player may be within the first two probabilities shown below).
“For example, a Premium Gold Pack in Ultimate Team may display percentages as:
| Gold 75+ Player | 100% |
| Gold 82+ Player | 18% |
| Gold 84+ Player | 4.2% |
Note: these probabilities are illustrative only. The actual probabilities for a Premium Gold Pack may differ but will be displayed in the final product.
Pack probabilities in FIFA are calculated by simulating the opening of a very large number of each pack type in the FUT Store. The number of packs opened in a simulation varies based on the content within those packs, but it will always be enough to be statistically valid. We then re-run this process with every content update.
Some campaign specific categories, for example Ones to Watch, feature special player content. In some packs, the probability of this content category may be less than 1%.
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 FUT 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.
FIFA 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 FIFA 19 onwards.
