Yet aren't these players available in the career, season, and exhibition modes?  So they made a few more modes just to exploit these digital cards?

From my understanding, you normally use these players by picking their specific teams. In career mode you can sell players during the season, and buy players from other teams to join yours. However, certain players may not even appear on the transfer market, or simply costs way too much for you to be able to draft.

The players you get from packs I believe are from a mode called Fifa Ultimate Team.
It's more focused on building your own team, allowing you to earn more packs to open, and you can also recruit old legends from several decades ago.

I see.  Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.  I haven't played a FIFA since Genesis days so I'm pretty out of the loop.
