Auto ban logic needs fixing due to evos
Looking on here and on social media, I know there are many people that have had the same issue as me. Since Thursday (2nd Nov) I have been banned from the transfer market. I had no email in the spac...

How long did it take for you to get a response?
I raised the case on Saturday
Just raised a new one:
Hi there, I was banned from the transfer market just under a week ago. I raised case #159209752 thinking this was just a simple mistake and would quickly be overturned. I received an email today saying the decision taken was correct an I was apparently coins selling.
I bought 8 non rare gold cards in anticipation for a cam evolution. The prices were higher than they usually are because lots of people were pre-emptively getting cards to use in the evolution so demand was starting to overtake supply on the market. People do this kind of thing in the market all the time in anticipation of totw, rttko, rttf, otw... How is this any different? I have played ultimate team since 2017 and never had a transfer ban or sold coins. Why did I instantly get a ban with no warning or even communication before? This is not acceptable when I've paid for the ultimate edition every year for at least the last 4 years. I hope you will show some understanding and rectify this as a lot of loyal players are getting the same issue.
Evolutions was added this year by you and it seems as though you did not anticipate the affect it would have on the transfer market. The most popular cards meeting the evolutions criteria are going to max bin after minutes of the evolution been released. All people are doing is paying current market prices for these cards. People selling coins should be easy to spot but please look at my account and you will see I'm playing the game fairly.
I hope common sense will prevail here.
- @pesphill85 I totally get what you're saying. And, you're right that people take gambles on what cards might get a promo or be needed for an SBC, or whatever. But, that information is based on leaked information and it seems like its cheating because you know something that someone else doesn't and are exploiting it.
I think people are upset because EA are just starting to take action where perhaps before they didn't and the community thought it was ok to do so.
I'm not EA, so this is all speculation.
I'm sorry this has happened to you. And you're right, others definitely deserve it more than you and we have been asking EA to ban players who promote coins but it hasn't happened yet.
I hope they decide to show mercy and overturn your ban.
Good luck!@Izzy_FUT_DubsAgain this is just a cop out. There is loads of people banned for all type of things. Selling cards needed for EVO. Managers that go up. You can't ban people on speculation that consumer rights violation. Its why my letter of dispute reached EA legal office today. Yet everu EA Youtube partner has a coin purchasing advertisement. Also all these Traders and discord for traders and youtube traders I wonder if this keep blowing up if they start becoming Liable as well. I couldn't imagine if my son was to follow some youtuber advice on trading and seeing him banned for coin selling or buying falsley. The logic needs fixed because it is falsley banning loads of people and thats a problem.
- @kenkaniff6 From my understanding, the YouTubers and streamers who actively promote coin selling, are not EA partners. They might have been once upon a time but they have since broken that partnership with EA when they chose to promote coin-selling websites.
I would agree with you that there seems to be a ban system that needs to do better work. It's not fair to those who have packed someone and sold at market price, then get banned. It's not fair to those who want to do the player's Evo and get banned from having bought that player. It's not fair for people to naturally take a gamble on a player having future Evo's and luckily guessing the best player who will perfectly fit that Evo.
However, I do understand a ban system that bans players from exploiting the game. If you have leaked information on an Evo coming out and buying 100 of that player to make a profit on it, then you do deserve to be banned because that is not taking a gamble -- such as buying those players right before the Evo comes out.
Without being rude to you directly. That is such a poor answer. Let me explain why.
I open a FIFA pack, because I want to make coins or get lucky and pack a promo player to use. I open the pack and I get a Gvardiol, I check his transfer price, he's going for 10,000 coins due to EA releasing an evolution slot that he fits in. I sell him for 10,000 coins. Next thing I'm banned because EA automatically detects me as potentially coin transferring (for selling a card for way more than it's worth).
This is why people are mad, EA are releasing a game mode that is causing cards to spike, and then banning people for buying and selling them!
Also, the fact your blaming Players for acting on leaks when the leaks are coming from within EA HQ is humiliating. Have some decorum.
I'd say trading, making coins is a huge part of this game and has been for ten years, it's no different to stocks and shares and buying and selling. A lot of people play the game solely as they enjoy that side of it. And EAFC know this and enable this. It's obvious when someone is coin selling/transferring. I've seen it hundreds of time where people are paying 300k more for cards than they are worth.
Let's be honest about leaks... They are done on purpose as free marketing for the game. If they get influencers "leaking" information, people get notifications from YouTube, twitter, tiktok... and go into the game to trade/buy points to open packs with. It feels like EA are biting the hands that feed them
