Opening a pack is one of the most exciting events for players on FIFA 23. You will get an introductory animation as a board or a walkout when opening a pack. The animation you unpack depends on that player’s overall ranking. 

When players are rated 83-85 in FIFA 23, they are introduced with a board animation.

In the FIFA community, getting a board player is okay, depending on several attributes like age, unique skill levels, or outstanding athleticism.

However, most players prefer to skip the board animations, especially after seeing it the first few times. Whereas if it’s an high rated and desirable player, the walkout sequence will only add to the satisfaction.

Due of the sheer number of packs available to players in a year, it makes sense to skip some pack animations.

How to Tell if it’s a Walkout in FIFA 23?

The animations are quicker in FIFA 23, it is better to save quality time regardless.There are a few telltale signs to watch out for to know whether a player is a walkout player.

Firstly unlike non-rare cards and rare cards where the camera pushes in from the right in walkout animations, the camera pushes in from the left to accommodate the player coming in from the right side of the screen.

Another telltale sign is to look in the background. Fireworks only appear during walkouts. You can always find the first spark above the card just as the ratings read past 78. 

Obviously if the card is special then you can tell straight away because the background varies depending on the promo.

With these tips, it is easier to skip unnecessary cutscenes and get into the action faster.

What Rating is a Walkout in FIFA 23?

If a player is an 86 rated player, or higher, then they will walk out when you pack them. If it is a special player, you can normally tell immediately as the colour scheme will match the colour scheme of the promo.
