There are no plans to change its approach with regard to "surprise mechanics" until laws are passed that force it to. 

It's not making the situation any better however it is worth noting that due to some laws, you are able to now set weekly limits on FIFA points spent and pack that are opened within Ultimate Team, and see the probability of getting an elite player prior to opening the pack.
