Wrongfully Banned from FC 25 Without Ever Playing – Need Help!

Hello,

 

I’m reaching out because I was permanently banned from FC 25 without ever actually playing the game, and I believe this is a mistake.

 

Here’s the situation:

 

  • I added the FC 25 Showcase version to my EA Library months ago, but I never downloaded or launched it.
  • I only purchased the full game on June 17, 2025. (I have the official receipt to prove this.)
  • However, after downloading the game post-purchase, I discovered I had been banned back on November 3, 2024 — 9 months before I bought the game.
  • This means I was banned from a game I didn’t even own yet, let alone play.

 

 

I have screenshots showing:

 

  1. My purchase receipt from June 17, 2025.
  2. My EA Library where the game was added but not downloaded.
  3. The ban notification that dates back to November 2024.

 

 

I have already contacted EA support and BBB but haven’t received a resolution.

 

Please — I just want to play the game I legally bought. I’ve done nothing wrong, and being banned before even playing is incredibly frustrating and unfair.

 

If anyone has dealt with similar issues or knows a way to escalate this properly, I’d really appreciate your help.

 

Thanks for reading.

    This is not a solution. I objected 6-7 times. If you looked at the photos I added, you would understand that the ban was not justified, but I did not receive any solution.

    Hmm..🤔 If you are wrongfully banned, I hope you will be able to play the game again soon. But -  if you have somehowe cheated, I hope your ban will be permanently. The game is crying to get rid of the cheaters. 

    I don't accuse you to be a cheater, because I don't know. But if you are - you get what you deserve.

    Check out the photos I added and you'll see I'm not cheating.

  • Be thankful you're so lucky not to play this **bleep** poor game
