Opening packs...

[MyxGoDxIsxGrEaTeR]

I was just wondering because I'm still pretty new to Fifa. I have 2800 fifa points, and I've already opened a few packs and I've got nothing.

Should I wait to open packs (for the TOTY, TOTS, etc) or should I burn through all of my points? I'm genuinely interested to know.

I normally like to wait for specials or promotions, like Happy Hour and stuff. They periodically also have cool specials like on Christmas

I was hoping to wait until then as well, but I didn't want to miss out on the in forms and all that. But I haven't gotten anything and I've opened at least 10-12 already (premium golds). I think I'll wait for the holidays unless I'm missing something that someone can tell me about.

Re: Opening packs...

New to the game--so pardon my ignorance, but why are people waiting to open their packs?

What is the point?

Re: Opening packs...

Just that there are times/occasions when the packs may be cheaper, have more cards, have rarer cards.

FIFA's twitter usually warns of upcoming specials.

I'm on PS4, but gave it away already.

Re: Opening packs...

I actually think I'll hold off. The problem is Ive been watching these pack openings, and they are a joke. You see YouTubers getting rare cards, but they cut scenes during their videos.

EA is like: "Yep, keep putting these videos on YouTube so we don't have to advertise for ourselves." Lol...

Yes you did. Thanks again for the generosity.

Yeah, and some of these dudes have like 60,000 FIFA Points lined up when they're making these videos. I don't even want to know what that translates to in real $$$.

Re: Opening packs...

I think that is about $500 or $600.

I would drop maybe $50 at most. But I got the ultimate edition so plenty of packs are on the way.

If you want a general rule of thumb, the Standard gold packs are fine when you're trying to build a gold team without and rare players. They packs are pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things so its not a horrible starting off point. Just consider that its a 1 in 12 shot that your rare card will be a rare player and even then will likely be an average player.

The bigger packs with the 3 rares are still an okay deal and you have a 1 in 4 short of getting at least one rare player.

The speciality and happy hour packs are a lot more expense (double the cost in Fifa points or more) but you usually have a better chance of getting what you want be it a full pack of rare cards, double the rare cards, an all player pack with some rares or the best of all a full pack of rare players

I will be waiting for these pack offerings, then.

If you're going to spend money on FUT, do it now and not later.

When big promotions start, player prices will plummet so investing in packs won't make sense.
