FIFA (the game) is big in the EU, where game studios recently felt the bite of regulators over the loot-crate controversy, with some voices in the European Commission even threatening to impose gambling sanctions. The post-World Cup release of FIFA rides on the real-world tournament's popularity, and tends to be a major release. FIFA 19, according to EA, will shield itself against the wrath of EU regulation by disclosing upfront the odds that the Ultimate Team pack (a loot-crate) you're about to buy isn't a sack of potatoes.
"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," said Daryl Holt, VP and COO of EA Sports, in an interview with 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." The current FIFA 18 includes a more crude implementation of what EA is proposing. It only discloses a vague inventory of the contents of the pack (number of players and consumables).
