Cursed Accounts

SO,

An unapologetic moan thread that I'm going to try and turn into a self-help pick me up.

Does anyone believe in cursed accounts and/or had literally as worse pack luck as me?

I have had the Ultimate Edition since day one, and I have yet to see a board on any packs. (so not even an 84+)

I've done petty much every reasonable SBC I can, and have finished Elite One three weeks in a row.

It's getting to the point I'm running out of coin resource to fund anything going forward, and I'm curious if anyone else is had luck this bad so far?

    Welcome buddy sending u hugs. Check my last thread and previous ones. I am still waiting for my 84+ as well. Got the ultimate edition and done all possible sbc. Nothing yet. I have reduced my game time though. Completely stopped playing rivals. Just sb when i can be bothered. Game boring as hell

    You haven’t spent FP in a while, yeah?

    If you haven’t.
    There’s your answer

    It's totally ridiculous but you are probably right!

    I had terrible luck for years until I deleted my club last year. When I came back to 20 I got mbappe in a pack. Since then it’s been a steady stream of decent pulls, admittedly not as good as mbappe but a few 84/85 in forms, ter stagen, otw AWB etc.

    Yeah same here have pulled a couple 84s but nothing better. Mind you I don't spend any money so I don't open a ton of packs but at some point you would think I would pull something

    Yes.

    I have no pack luck for years, I play fut sinds the start and every year 2000+ games, last year I got de Bruyne in november, FS Arthur in januari or so and PIM Moore in July or something, that's it
    This year I packed IF Mahrez, which was decent, but my friends who haven't played UT for years and are awfull at the game got players like Son, Mane, IF countinho, and even the 50k players like Lucas and Werner, so yeah I think there's some kind of system that "helps" bad/new players to keep playing by giving them better packs.

    In fifa 19 I spent 20 dollars on packs in the whole year and currently I have spent 80 dollars and of those 80 dollar the best player was Coman..

    One piece of advice, open packs via the companion app.

    my lucky charm is to open packs in the bathroom. ive packed aguero and griezman.

    in 19 i packed kante twice, mbappe, aguero, aubameyang, pogba, kane etc.

    who new opening packs while taking a dump could be so lucky.

    So a quick update on this, another weekend of SBC's and Elite One SB finish and still not hit an 84 yet.

    And my mate just opened a standard Gold Pack and got Neymar after packing Scream Aguero a few days earlier.

    The worst run I've ever had on Fifa Ultimate Team, time to put it to the side I think, just not meant to be this year.

    Its total bs.

    Guy at work got untradeable Aguero first week.

    Then Martial, DDG, plus 3-4 60-90k players.

    I've got trash all game.

    I’m struggling to believe that some of you haven’t even got a board yet, considering they’re 83 rated and some of them seem more common than non-rares.

    I get we all go through spells of bad pack luck, but to say you’ve not had a board seems like a bit of a porky pie to me...

    Believe what you want, but I don't need to make up a false story like this for a Fifa Forum.

    Like I said I have had Elite One finishes in Squad Battles since launch and done every Advanced SBC, and I have yet to pull a player above an 83, not even the animation with the position and nationality etc.

    It my seem unbelievable but it's honestly the truth, it's a running joke in my house now with the missus, even she knows an 82 Zapata is not the one!

    You guys that think not spending FP is the answer... You're wrong.

    I had my first 90+ player in a pack last year. I buy FP every year. Been playing UT since 2011.
    Also, my first 90+ player was also my first icon. 91 hagi.

    So FP doesn’t do anything for your chances, if you have crap luck, you have crap luck.

    well, i m on the same boat, the only good pulls i had was from the advanced sbc, which were the only walkouts i saw this year so far ....

    Same. Have played 2000+ games each year since 2016. I have not had anything higher than an 84 any one year. Be it pack rewards, SBC, I have tried them all.
    I won't buy FP to play a video game.
    Yet I never also even think about good pulls any more. I just play the game.

    There's no such thing...it's all random. Stop worrying about what you're packing when prices are the lowest that they've ever been.

    Even if you don't trade, you can stock up on players needed for SBCs cheaply enough.

    Never brought any Fifa Points, never spent anything in FUT... I've had a Muller & A Suarez as ones that stick out in my mind... Pack luck is pack luck, streaks can be good or bad or neutral. But you know what they say about gambling though.. "If the fun stops, stop."

    Pack weight is absolutely atrocious at the moment. Beyond anything I think I've seen before. If you're into that sort of thing, Nepenthez's Squad Battles rewards video last night was an absolute car crash. Opening packs for players who'd finished as high as 6th, the packs were laughable.

    It's their game so I guess they can do whatever they like with it, but the constant tinkering with pack weights (while store prices remain the same) just seems fundamentally wrong to me.

    I got a double walkout in squad battle rewards this week and also packed reus in squad battle rewards last week. Even the pre order rare gold packs paying out for me packing aubamayang last week (2 packs apart from reus) and few other semi decent players like Jesus and Fernandinho. It’s entirely luck based and there nothing else to it.

    Nice. Would be amazing to pack any of those. I haven't danced around the living room since I packed TOTS Aubameyang last FIFA, and I think I'm still paying the price for that one. The last 30-40 big packs I've opened have been absolutely dead. When you're on a run like that and you know something big has to be coming, every pack opening is a crushing disappointment!

    Tbh I’d probably say this has been my luckiest start to fifa in terms of pack luck in years. Had a good year last year but my 1 million plus pull wasn’t til way into the game with Ronaldinho mid card.
    Also surprisingly enough like 90% or more of my pack pulls have been from sbc, Squad battles and pre order packs. Not packed many players from fifa points. Mid scholes my best so far this year from the England section of the 4 parter sbc. Was it national pride or something?
    Loved the animation for a scream walkout, looked class. It was only carvalho so the worst one but still decent.
    Hang in there, I’m sure your time will come and you’ll pack a big player.

    I hope so. Your account seems to be operating on a completely different level to mine at the moment, that's for certain. This is only my 6th FUT (didn't start playing the mode until 15), but like many, I've never packed an icon. Or a Ronaldo/Messi/Neymar. I do every pack SBC going, all MM, Squad Battles to Gold 1/Elite 3 every week, Div Rivals to Rank 2 (don't do WL though). Best I've had this FIFA is Alisson at 50k. Getting quite fed up of it now, if I'm honest. I'm not particularly enjoying the gameplay, and the grind feels like it's for nothing so far. Christ, I'm moaning, aren't I! Get the violins out.

    Spend 20 € in the first week. Packed Sandro and IF Trent. 200k to start was enough.
    Since then I can hardly pack a board.

    In ‘19 I packed a Dybala in a 4 card gold reward pack. I never pack promotional cards though. While I haven’t packed anything awesome this year, I’ve been packing more cards in the low 80s and IFs.
