Hey all, if you are using the transfer market or submitting SBCs in a rapid and repeated timeframe you may find yourself unable to access the functions for a short period of time.
The best thing that we can recommend is that during times of heavy usage you take a moment here to breath.

It’s likely to stop cheating like how you can get soft banned from the market and playing to many games in a row. They will probably have to add limits on sbcs the same as they did with games if people can’t slow down.
You could always contact support but not sure they can do anything for soft bans.
i agree, soft ban has to be the most pointless thing, if they want to avoid "cheaters" or whatever the point for soft ban is, add a human verification thing after several SBCs submitted and carry on, its like they want to drive everyone into spending more and more money in store packs rather than people grinding the game we all paid for. except the new ones who got it for free a few days ago
I doubt they will tell you what gets you banned. I mean if they said doing one every 1.2 seconds or faster gets a ban people who cheat would take advantage of the info.
But if they wanted to push you to the store they could just limit them. That would be easier than soft banning to prevent cheating while still allowing people to do them 24/7 as long as you do them slowly.

Im breathing quite well especially when i can't do pps like what is this we paid to play the game, enjoy it, grind it, and because of this 50% of the time we cant because of these stupid rules you have "its to avoid cheaters" maybe get some better anti-cheat then just comparing files with the original game... multibillion company and not gonna talk about this "support" thing u have... No one can contact you directly with a bug or issue
I don't understand the sense of the sbc soft ban because alot of people do them rapidly because they are easy to do and it's a useless thing because they literally put infinite sbcs it's not our fault and they should put a countdown not a soft ban there are no written rules and now I'm soft banned and I needed to get some sbcs before tomorrow because it will expired like I paid 60€ for this game and it has nonsense secret rules that are not written anywhere not even on the sbc or like an advice or something like that and as I said I'm still mad that I can't do my sbcs and they will expire tomorrow just because I "did too much sbs" what Is that there are no excuses for this is just a useless rule for "repeatable" sbcs
I've been soft banned a lot of times and can tell you all it was definetely in the game last year and the year before that.. To be honest ever since I started playing fifa its been a thing. This is no secret. Im about 99% sure if you do over 100 sbcs an hour you get soft ban on your respective platform. This is different for web app, companion app, ps4 version, and ps5 version. So in theory you can do about 400 sbcs an hour before you get soft banned on all platforms. The first time should take about an hour, and if you exceed 100 sbcs an hour after that its going to be much longer (around 12-24 hours but ive seen as much as 48). I advise you menu grind on web app, and when you get soft banned you sign into ps4 version of ultimate team and then sign out, load companion back up and you should be unbanned for another 100 ish sbcs. Menu grind on console is way too slow and absolutely boring, so I personally stop when I get soft banned on web app.There's ways around this but it completely destroys my mental that this is purely 100 % motivated by money. More sbcs = more menu grind = more play time = better flex to your investors. But this means everyone has a good chance to pack top tier cards, why would you buy an 82x100 for 400k when you can do 100 82+ sbcs in 15 minutes ? If they remove soft ban, significantly less people will buy packs. I'm only writing this because everytime I search if there is a way around the soft ban no one knows how it works. If they want to deter cheaters a simple captcha would be more than enough. Warra yap+ playstyle for me.
*Edit*
Of course i've done nothing wrong and never broken any rules. I just do sbcs and then get banned for repeating an unlimitedly repeated sbc unlimited times. To be honest I would appreciate a timer on the soft ban as sad as it sounds, so I know when to come back and play the game again. It's frustrating that people can snipe bot the market and not be banned but I get soft banned for literally playing the game!
