How to Skip Pack Animations in FC 24

EA FC 24 has a brand new pack opening cinematic, but some players who focus on SBCs for hundreds of hours might want to save time and skip it entirely.

But some packs contain nothing but cosmetics and consumables, so players want to skip that part. If you're tired of pack animations in FC 24, there's a way to skip them! We're sharing how you can skip pack animations in FC 24...

How Do You Skip the Pack Animation in FC 24?

Players can skip the pack animation by pressing L1/LB and then double-tapping X/A. This simple trick was shared by popular EA SPORTS FC content creator Kimpembro, who also noted that the active preview pack in the store must be open in order for it to work. Here's how you can skip pack animations step by step:

• Open your latest preview pack, but don't purchase it.
• Go to the 'My Packs' section.
• Hover over the pack you want to open.
• Press L1/LB twice, then press X/A.
• Assign your new items.

This way, you can skip the opening animation entirely. You'll also see a screen that lets you send players or cosmetic items to your club or discard them. This method is ideal for consumable or low-rarity packs when you want to avoid a long buildup and get straight to the items.

In past FIFA games, players could easily skip cinematics while opening packs by pressing X or A, but this time that feature appears to have been removed. Although a skip button is likely to be added to EA FC 24 later on, this method will save you time whenever you want in the meantime. You can count on it :)
