Do something about sbc bans.

What is the point in having any sort of sbc grind if you are just going to stop me from doing them? I've been stopped 3 times today from doing repeatable SBC's and it's ridiculous. It's been 40 minutes since my last ban and I still can't do anymore.

Why do you even have a limit for how many can be done, if they are infinitely repeatable? It's not like I'm getting anything good from them anyway. This is one of the worst things outside of actual gameplay that you have ever implemented, and a genuinely terrible idea.

It feels like you don't want people to be able to get promo cards without being driven to the store, but that's the idea isn't it? It's not enough to give you the money for the game (which is objectively one of the worst ever) you want to try take every penny you can and you use manipulative tactics to do so.

  • If they don’t remove them they could always restrict them to like 5 a day. That way you stop cheating and you no longer ban people doing unlimited amounts.  I still think it hurts the market as people just do unlimited sbcs and no longer need the market so it causing everything to be discard.

    SBC's don't necessarily ruin the market, I rarely if ever use the transfer market myself. If I don't get the player myself I just don't use them, and I'm mostly not worried about getting the top top players. I understand why they are so hard to get, but making multiple unlimited SBC's and making it impossible to keep doing them is just ridiculous.

    They don't need to get rid of SBC's, but like many other things in the game they just need to implement it better. They are either way too expensive like De Bruyne for example, yeah it may be a great card but I have just as many cards that are somewhat equal or fit my playstyle better. Or they are just not fit for purpose, in the sense it may be a cool card but with playstyles in the game they just aren't good.

    SBC's are a great way to stay on the game while taking a break from the actual gameplay, and they can be great for improving your club if you get lucky, but the key is getting lucky. Take today, I probably opened around 60 packs and 70 player picks with the best 2 cards being Renard and Gerrard, everything else was duplicates of cards from my rivals rewards. The odds of me getting the best cards is extremely slim to begin with, but restricting the ways I can get them is straight up manipulation.

    If I can't do any more SBC's the only packs I can use are store packs, and considering the amount of coins needed for evolutions these days it's just not viable. Unless I use money, which is exactly what EA are trying to drive people towards. It's manipulative, it's unfair on people that actually understand how to grind or take time to, and quite frankly it's another reason that I'm probably not going to get FC26. Unless it's in a good sale or someone buys it for me it's not worth me spending the time and money on, especially if they are just going to restrict everything I'm trying to do.

  • Sbcs have been ruining the market anyway. So I agree with you it’s time for ea to remove sbcs. They can’t expect people to do them slower.
