EA Sports FC 24 walkout animations: how to tell a good pack from a bad one
Ultimate Team continues to be a huge part – the main part, you may even say – of EA Sports FC 24, no matter if it has the FIFA branding or not. EA Sports came up with a new set of animations that play out when you open a FUT pack to pull for brand-new player cards, and like every year there are some subtle variations to these that have some meaning – they’ll indicate if you’ve got a board or a walkout on your hands before actually showing you the players.
In Ultimate Team, a board means pulling a player rated between 83 and 85 OVR, which is pretty solid. A walkout is pulling a card of 86 OVR and above – the most desirable of all outcomes. Both of those results actually come with slightly different animations that separate them from your common pull up to 82 OVR or from something like TOTW.
Here’s how you can spot a walkout in the EA FC 24 pack opening animations.
Pulling a player with more than 86 OVR is called a walkout.

The tells in regards to the quality of your pull in EA FC 24 come in the form of the beams of light appearing from below and behind the card during the opening animation. If you’ve pulled a card below 83 OVR, these bars of light will appear in a muted golden color, almost like they’re grayed out.

Now, a board is great, but a walkout is better. It’s actually pretty easy to spot if you’ve got one, because the saturation of the light bars coming up from behind the card will be all the greater.
