Web App softbans are out of hand

Whenever i start grinding SBCs, I know it is only a matter of time before I get softbanned and have to take a break because I can't submit any SBCs. It is honestly so frustrating and out of hand at this point. I don't even understand why this is a feature in this game. You are doing too many SBCs too quickly so you get softbanned???? Why???? What is the point? Just to further annoy me? It's already enough of a pain grinding SBCs with ultimate team's abysmal squad builder which lacks very simple and easy to implement constraints (player rating, ignore position, etc). Really wish they would adjust this.

  • I would guess it’s to stop cheating like how you can only bid so much and only play so many games so fast. Ea tried to tell people to slow down playing games but since it lead to to many bans they started adding limits on friendly games. 

    I would guess if people get banned to much doing sbc they will limit sbcs in a similar fashion to games. 

  • So you got soft banned and your not even using any third party software. Ya thats broken. I read through the user agreement and found nothing that would get either of us a soft ban. I just got one but I am using a third party software for the reasons you stated in your complaint. Also they allow you to use third party software as long as it doesnt go against a few of the rules listed. Like impersonate, hacking, stealing, I digress. Long story short neither of us based on the user agreement should of landed us a soft ban. Soooooooo....EA any responsed on this matter. You state that you want us to enjoy the, although everything you do makes us regret playing a game we know is broken but there is nothing else close to a funtioning game. Fun fact though, apparently 2K just bought the rights to use the FIFA trademark. So Fifa2K seems like that would be competition for you guys. Get it together.

    @SicariScorpio18 well of course i am using a third party software. everybody i know who grinds SBCs uses paletools. Without it, the grind is insanely long and annoying, again because of EAs terrible squad builder features. Paletools is harmless and only adds features that should already exist in the game, like SBC templates, and more constraints like player rating and ignoring positions. Just don't see a real reason to softban someone for doing SBCs other than to encourage them to just stop grinding and go to the store instead.
  • I have over thirty packs that I can't open thanks to the soft ban, if EA made SBC grinding unlimited and you can continuously rinse duplicate fodder you are forced to do a lot of SBCs. This is self contradictory, on one hand they give you infinite SBCs and on the other hand you're constantly prevented from doing them. It's another typical EA style of ruining the fun of playing this game.

  • Classic EA. 

    This has been a feature for over 5 years.

    'Ooh lets give them unlimited player packs, but let's keep the softban rules just in case'

    These guys are all labor and no love.
