FIFA 22 IRL pack opening on TikTok is so good people want it to be real EA SportsA clever viral TikTok has taken the addictive roulette of opening packs in FIFA 22 Ultimate and brought it into real life, and players are now calling for a real trading card game to accompany the mode. Whatever criticisms you want to lay at FIFA\u2019s feet, the irresistible cycle of opening shiny packs full of the world\u2019s biggest football stars is still a strong hook. Players will grind Division Rivals or FUT Champions for hours on end just to earn more packs to rip open. Ultimate Team has always maintained elements of an online trading card game, and FIFA 22 is no exception. The types of cards, packs, and stats are heavily inspired by the likes of Match Attax or Panini NFL collections. One viral TikTok took the comparisons to new heights, by creating and opening a real-life Ultimate Team pack crammed with cards. The TikTok, uploaded by futfacts778, showed the creator holding a miniature gold pack, which FIFA players are used to seeing lingering in the FUT store. After tearing the top open, they revealed the three cards hiding inside. Much like with real trading card packs, the best pull was tucked away at the back, only adding to the suspense. After showing off a solid but unremarkable Jadon Sancho, and a slightly disappointing Lukas Hradecky, the standout was a blue Team of the Year Kylian Mbappe. FIFA 22 is littered with special promotional players, so it\u2019s hard to see how turning Ultimate Team into a card collection wouldn\u2019t work. This TikTok is just a taste of what that could look like, and it was definitely cool to see these cards in physical form. The idea clearly struck a chord in the community, as players replied calling for EA to make an official FIFA trading card collection themselves. They even felt that the real cards could translate to rewards in-game on FIFA 22. \u201cWhy isn\u2019t this a thing though? There\u2019s a lot of money to be made. Could put one pack in the disc cases for FIFA to attract people to buy more,\u201d said one player. \u201cWhy is this not a thing!!! Redeem the pack on FIFA!!\u201d replied another. While it\u2019s most likely that this will never be more than a quirky idea from a creative TikToker, it would be interesting to see how EA would go about creating a fully-fledged TCG inspired by FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
