Definitely a bug
Got TOTS Oblak 3 times in a row.
I already contacted EA support.
I really don't care about getting compensation or another TOTS card.
It's definitely a bug and it must be made known.

3 times in a row says something's fishy and it's not my feet.
Nothing's fishy. The less desirable ones are more likely to be packed, and from a pool of maybe 5 really poor ones, you got the same one three times.
The fact that he's not the lowest rated doesn't ring a bell, does it?
It's a fricking bug. It has nothing to do with statistics in this case.
It's not the lowest rated card to have the highest chance of reappearing , and even if it WAS the lowest rated card, 3 in a row is extremely, extremely rare to happen.
Let alone NOT being the lowest rated.
Are you aware rating means next to nothing in this game?
Are you aware that you don't know what you're talking about?
The highest the rating, the rarest the card.
Simple logic.
Which would tells me their random number generator relies too much upon time of day or something.
I do understand that Oblak is made easier to pull than Messi and there are pack weights involved (which of course EA won't tell us anything about weights which at least in a casino you can find out your true odds in this nobody knows the real odds because they don't give us pack weights but I digress) - but I still think it could be a similar issue.
Did you open all the packs near the same time or were they a long time apart? If near the same time - I'm wondering if you just got hosed by EAs random number generator..
This is just a speculation based off of observation bias - so maybe I'm full of it - but I really see way too many instances of "same cards coming in bunches" when opening packs.
You must have started playing FIFA yesterday.
I opened the 1st guarranteed tots Sunday night.
Then Monday morning I did 4 LaLiga upgrades and got him gain.
And finally tonight. I did mm sbc first then completed the guarranteed. And got him again!
I think that it has something to do with each account.
They can see who's paid money for FFP or not, and categorize pulls. I don't say that it's for sure, just a thought.
But definitely it's completely out of statistic logic to pull the same card thrice.
It must be some kind of a bug.
Also when the PTG cards came out I did pack PTG Higuain twice in a row in a series of 3 packs opened. That can happen some times. It is still extremely rare but it can.
But three times?
Please , if you don't have anything constructive to add to this thread, shut it.
Go play FIFA or something.
That's why I think something is a bit off with their "Random" numbers. I mean with 23 players, even if the bottom half of the pool takes up 90% of the "weight" - and Oblak is in that bottom pool - I still can't see the odds of pulling an Oblak each time being any higher than 8% (that is probably being generous also).
So if the odds are 8% to pull an Oblak, the odds of pulling Oblak 3 times in a row would be something like 1 in 2000 (not super impossible but pretty damn unlikely lol). And with all the threads claiming they are pulling "doubles" and "triples" - plus my own observation on OTHER packs I've pulled through bronze packing - I think something is quite "off" with the random number generator like I said above.
Saying I have no clue what I'm talking about is constructive?
EA's "Random" numbers are in fact, (surprise, surprise!), not random at all. Oblak had already been packable, hence his higher drop rates. You got him 3 times, because in EA's program, you had a good chance of getting him all three times, regardless of his rating.
Do you think Adan is rare despite a 92 rating? No, he isn't.
Now stop whining.
Your subjective thinking is not equal to universal logic.
Go to play FIFA or something.
100%
Man, I really didn't understant what you said right now. Wiat...You 're an EA programmer perhaps?
Words of wisdom.
In english it's called 'gobbledygook'.
@JohnDoe
One of those days where you try to explain something simple to someone, and you get called an EA employee...
Oh dear.
No, no, honestly. How can you tell that in EA's program Oblak the cream of the crop?
I would like to know.
IF he was the lowest rated, I would accept the fact that I am highly unlucky. But he's a mid-range card ffs.
There's absolutely no logic behind that except it's a bug, something's stuck, some code, I don't know, when I open packs this week.
I would seriously bet my house that if I opened another bunch of packs and got a TOTS card , it would be Oblak again. Seriously.
Well obviously, I can't know, but take a second to think about it.
Terrible nation, fairly undesirable club, GK, and was in MC TOTS.
All massive red flags that place him in the "poor" category.
The programming knows how desirable a card is based on selling prices I think. Just because it’s high rated doesn’t mean it’s valuable. I once had a silver card come out before gold cards in a pack because it was selling for 20k plus.
I can confirm that you are an EA programmer, I'm the guy who's in charge of the pack thing and I made sure OP got Oblak 3 times. I genuinely thought he loved Oblak. Sorry, buddy.
Exactly as I was saying OP. Rating dictates nothing.
Man, he's 93 rated.
I told you, there are another 3x93 cards, 6x92 cards, another 91 and another 90.
The chance of getting him thice is not 1/200000 someone said. It's les than 1/mil.
No one is so unlucky/lucky. It must be a bug/glitch/whatever.
I am not looking for compensation or change of the card.
I just point out that there are bugs in this game even in pack openings.
I'm done here.
