It is time to stop with the SBC softbans

Menu grinding. The only possible way to pull big cards without spending money on this dead game. Do your player picks, recycle high rated cards into exchanges, and repeat. Its a good method that can produce some pretty decent results. However, I get softbanned literally every. single. day. It is so ridiculous at this point. Completely kills the grind. Now let's think logically why they have this in the game. These SBCs are infinitely repeatable, so why would EA care if you are doing too many SBCs too quickly? Well, I will tell you why. They do not want anyone menu grinding. They do not want anybody getting top players by grinding the menus. They do not gain anything from that. So, they softban you in hopes that you will head to the store and spend real money on their absolutely ridiculous store packs. Oh, $50 on a CHANCE at getting TOTS Mbappe? Yeah, what on Earth is EA smoking? $50 packs? 50 real, actual dollars. For 1 singular pack that can, at best, grant you a meta player? You stand to gain nothing from these packs, as they are all untradeable. You can't actually get lucky and make a profit with these packs. No, the very best you can get out of these packs is...... a collection of pixels? That you can go use in a game that is borderline unplayable? EA has completely killed the one thing about this game that is still enjoyable, packing big players. With how bad the pack weight is, you need to menu grind relentlessly to even have a small chance at packing someone big. And they constantly softban you so you can't even do that. It is ridiculous at this point and needs to change. There is no logical reason for why this even exists. So beyond done with this game.

    @sniperfox29 Of course you can’t see asking for this will just add limits making it worse than better. You really think they will just remove soft bans lol.

    @RadioShaqs It's funny

    EA trying to claim they are doing something to stop "cheaters" in a gamer when you can literally buy the greatest team ever simply by having (or be willing to spend) more money than anyone else is laughable

    It reminds me of how Codemasters tried to take Xplorer cheats to court for allowing players to cheat in the games (which were single player) because it meant players weren't buying those cheats off codemasters.

    There is no morality here, it is a greedy company being greedy

    And you probably support them for doing it, because you are certainly against the players

    @RadioShaqs ,

    Slow down on what exactly? If an SBC can be repeated without any restrictions, where's the cheating? If you want to slow things down, just limit the number of times an SBC can be completed.

    This is absolutely ridiculous.

    Oh, I get it now...the "cheating" is that we're not spending money on store packs, right?

    @RadioShaqs that is exactly what they should do. There is no logical reason why yo should be softbanned for completing too many SBCs too quickly. they are infinitely repeatable, so let me infinitely repeat them as quick and efficient as I possibly can?

    @Izzy_FUT_Dubs yes of course they are against ToS. But my point is the only reason that people use those third party tools (btw, the vast majority of menu grinders do) is because of how poor and inefficient the normal squad building tools are. I still don't find it to be "cheating" necessarily although against ToS, it is harmless in my eyes.

    @RadioShaqsAh the good old days when you still blindly defended EA for anything

    No, no, no, it's not their fault, they are stopping you cheaters from doing something even though there is ZERO warning you are doing something wrong and, in fact aren't doing anything wrong AT ALL
