How did it come to this with sports games? What do these packs have to help you? Unlocking better stats? There should really be a boycott to EA.

These are optional, right?

Just because these are in the game, it doesnt mean that you have to make use of them, just ignore them and enjoy the rest of the game that appeals to you.

Have you played these games before? They lock all sorts of upgrades for career mode behind "virtual currency" that is slow as molasses to earn without real money

Some stuff was incredibly egregious like even changing your players hairstyle took something like a dollars worth of virtual currency

They basically put a free mobile game monetization but in a $60 game

The problem with loot boxes existing is that the games economy often gets screwed over to give an incentive to purchase loot boxes. You can play the game and get the thing you want, which will take 10s of hours or more, or you can pay $5 and have it now. They purposely give less rewards/increase prices so that it's much faster/easier to just use a credit card than to play that long. Also this is the My Team mode, which is a major part of the game, not some side mode.

It also preys on people who can't control themselves like gambling addicts or kids who are able to get their parents credit card.
