FIFA 22 pack animations for boards

While players are less likely to get excited over a board compared to walkout player, these cards can be helpful early on in FIFA 22’s Ultimate Team cycle, so you are bound to keep your eye on these.

Boards are reserved for players with an OVR of 83 or better, and while these aren’t the elusive walkout cards, some of the best center-backs, wingers, and strikers are in this range.

When you’re waiting for the card to be revealed if you spot a flame on each side of the boards, then this means you’ve snagged a player in this range.

On the flipside, walkouts are mainly what players are seeking when opening packs, as they’re dedicated to players rated 88 OVR and better.

The player you unpack will sprint onto the screen, and perform some animation. The main way to tell if you’ve got one of these cards is yet again the number of flames on the side.

Walkouts are commemorated with six flames shooting up into the air, so it’s hard to miss.
