https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/ea_releases_fifa_19_ultimate_team_pack_odds_-_they_are_horrific/1 EA has disclosed their FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) pack odds for the first time, revealing that the probability of accessing the games most desirable cards can be 'less than 1%', highlighting exactly why the system is so controversial. EA is not only giving players access to cards with a less than 1% drop rate, but they are making these cards limited edition variants, a trait that will make them more desirable.
EA is under a criminal investigation in Belgium over their inability to comply with the country's gaming legislation, refusing to remove "loot boxes" from the game within the region. With odds that are so stacked against players, it is easy to see why FUT is considered as a form of gambling by a large proportion of today's gamers.
I think EA is going to be in a lot of trouble with the EU.
