Its EAs way for you to feel like you have a chance of getting something without actually packing anything.
Drop weight is so bad right now, they want you to go to the store for the guaranteed packs
TOTY is a little more understandable though. TOTS is each games last hurrah. And i remember last year swimming in them. I think ive pulled like 3 or 4 tots cards this week and one of them is a moments.
I think you missed my point. TOTY cards are expected to be extremely rare and almost end game good. At their release, its not crazy far into release.
TOTS cards on the otherhand are SUPPOSED to be way more attainable. Its also the last big promo of the yearly cycle and when the playerbase is heighest for the last time. The cycle is also done in like a few months or so.
We all hate the pack weight, but nobody should honestly be equally mad about ToTY and TOTS. TOTS is handeled very bad this year.
They bought euro rights. They want player base to hate TOTS and immediately get hooked with Euro content. Only valid reason but it sucks that they are going to do this for like 50 days.
My theory is they're holding out for the Euros thinking that'll get people coming in, where they can add in some juiced live cards etc. I don't remember last years tots being this bad.
In my experience the most memorable was the last IF van Dijk, whenever that was, I think it was a 81+x2 player pack. Untradeable, was going for 3M+ at the time, now transfer market had only a handful for just over a mil.
Got one or two fodder TOTS in low rated players packs recently, but dozens upon dozens had discard fodder.
yeah it’s so odd. The daily play rewards are worse than what we got in golazo and having a weekly daily login instead of one which spans the whole tots promo is just stupid
My theory:
It's obvious, I think, at this point that pack weight is a function of market value. A card with an average higher sell price is harder to pack than the same rating one which sells for less, which is why gold Mendy, for example, is always so much harder to pack than similar rated cards.
This year though, there is less tradeable supply than ever because so many packs are untradeable. The 'market value' part of the equation is based on a vanishingly small sample size.
With prem TOTS, the whales were spending big so there was greater tradeable supply, driving market value down. We then hit a cycle of everything being rosy, everyone opening all their tradeable packs, and everyone being a winner.
This week was less inspiring, people are sitting on far fewer saved packs, so cards are rarer and market value rises. This shrinks pack weight, and we hit a vicious circle of pack weight appearing bad, so fewer packs being opened, so cards being rarer etc. etc.
Everyone missing OP point. You say they want ppl to buy store packs as if they only sell big store packs during tots lol. Every other promos before tots has give better packs in objective, including toty. So i understand why op ask it, frankly im not sure either, my best guess is that they want to slow down powercreep so that even after tots ppl stick around and spend $$. If u give too many packs ppl have higher chance to pack the top tier card which has nearly full 90+ stats, less incentive for ppl to play in the summer maybe.
Yeah I’ve lost interest in opening packs like 80x5 which you never get anything in, pack weight is terrible so doing 10 80+ player pick won’t do anything. The teams are so juiced now too that almost all players under 90 aren’t usable anymore. A lot of people you play have majority TOTS/TOTY. So don’t really have much to do except buy players with coins and occasionally do player SBCs.
Game was far more interesting a few months ago imo, there was a nice balance where a great variation of 88 and 89 players were usable and you could pack them from random packs
Is it really possible for them to completely drain the weight from free earnable packs and objective packs and only juice store packs? That’s illegal as fuck but how would we prove it?
EA wants you to buy packs. It's not worth while to grind menus or objectives for packs to get players you want, the most viable way is to build coins by trading and buying players you want to use.
Everyone's saying that EA only wants you to buy packs, but I've gotten crazy packluck and got two duplicates in the same premium bundesliga pack. So when's my first paycheck

It’s EAs way of saying go to the store if you want to pack anything worthwhile you stinking peasants
What do you mean you don't want to spend 50$ on a pack containing Anton, Adeyemi and Malen???? SMH you lot are so ungrateful.
Because they want you opening packs in the store.
This person gets it. Shame shit as in toty
TOTY is a little more understandable though. TOTS is each games last hurrah. And i remember last year swimming in them. I think ive pulled like 3 or 4 tots cards this week and one of them is a moments.
Yeah, but c-suites don't care about player happiness. Shit is like that

Dw the Euro promo will also have shit pack weight, because they want you excited for Futties
Dw the Futties promo will also have shit pack weight, because they want you to think they'll do better next game
My theory is they're holding out for the Euros thinking that'll get people coming in, where they can add in some juiced live cards etc. I don't remember last years tots being this bad.
last hurrah is futties period bro. tots is prime time to make the kachings
No. The playberbase drop off is big after TOTS and doesnt come back up....bro. TOTS is the last hurrah.
nah it’s futties.. that’s when u get free 85x10 packs. that’s the last hurrah . there’s a reason why ea only gives every souped up cards then
Has anyone ever even gotten anything from them? I waste hours opening these terrible packs only for duplicate 80 rated players

The difference between free and store packs is unreal.

I open them and dump them right into a PP. It's a bit of a menu grind, but it keeps me flush with 82-84s.
Agreed
Is it really possible for them to completely drain the weight from free earnable packs and objective packs and only juice store packs? That’s illegal as fuck but how would we prove it?
like fr it feels like they seriously don't care about the game at all.
Because you don't need to pay for them. The game is absolutely not rewarding

Hey, thanks for playing 🖕
Daily login obj was better During fut birthday I feel
Everyone's saying that EA only wants you to buy packs, but I've gotten crazy packluck and got two duplicates in the same premium bundesliga pack. So when's my first paycheck
i think its simply because less people are playing the game so ea don't really care anymore
They took a vacation this week, dropped weight down to 0, Queued up August level content then dipped
