EA has introduced a new pack feature for FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. The so-called preview packs allow the player to take a look inside the pack – without having to buy the pack. If a good player is included, you can buy the pack either with coins or FIFA Points.
The preview packs are a limited time event for the Festival of FUTball. Is EA accommodating its gambling critics with this, or is it just a clever new business idea?

Preview packs in FIFA 21 – this is how it works
From now on you can see the content of the preview packs in advance and then think about whether you want to buy the pack or not. This has the advantage that you don’t have to spend Coins or FIFA Points for bad packs. If there is no good player, you can simply decline. After that a timer runs and you have to wait 24h before you can try again.
Preview packs in FIFA 21
First you get to see the normal pack animation, i.e. the surprise effect of a walkout is still there. After that the pack opens in an overview where you can see all players. On sites like Futbin.com you can check if the players have a higher value than the purchase price of the pack.
Preview packs in FIFA 21
The preview packs are limited in time and number. The preview is also only available for these special packs. So if you open “normal” packs from the Weekend League Rewards or SBCs, you won’t have a preview. A cool feature, isn’t it?
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
