EA to disclose odds on FIFA, Madden, NHL 19 Ultimate Team packs

EA will disclose the odds on FIFA 19, NHL 19, Madden NFL 19 and NBA Live 19 Ultimate Team packs, it was recently confirmed.

“For Ultimate Team, when you buy a pack you know what you are getting. You are getting a certain number of assets that are guaranteed – and we’re going to start to do pack odds disclosures that’ll show you the odds of what you might get,” EA Sports COO, Daryl Holt, said to Eurogamer.

“That’ll be in our product year 19 titles. So, at least that aspect of understanding what the chances are of getting X, Y and Z card.”

Holt didn’t specify exactly how those odds would be disclosed.

The news comes as the Australian Senate has approved an inquiry into loot boxes here in the country.

We’ll have more on NHL, FIFA, Madden NFL and NBA Live 19 Ultimate Team packs as the information is made available.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
