3rd party tools & SBC softbans.

Dear EA,

I'm trying to understand why 3rd party tools are such an offense, especially at this time of year, and my main argument is actually that, for most of the year, THOUGH NOT ALL, I'm in favour of one of the most unpopular parts of SBCs - softbans. Ultimately, if SBC softbans did not exist, I can see how 3rd-party tools would be unfair - the ability to create faster would mean the ability to create more, and thus would provide an advantage to players using said tools. This isn't the case, however - SBC softbans exist and limit us to a certain number of SBC completions per hour and per day. It is completely possible to complete the limit of daily and hourly SBCs in the timeframe they come under using EA-made methods; 3rd-party tools are only made by a majority of the community to save time, which is a completely valid reason to do so in the eyes of any rational person. The best solution to this, and one I'm sure the community at large would be pleasantly surprised to see, is the implementation of far better menu GUIs surrounding SBCs. To be extremely blunt, if a system like SBC templates from paletools was implemented into the actual game, or an easy way of applying playstyles such as that in fodder.gg, or challenge solvers such as those found in FutGenie, a wide majority of players would no longer need to use 3rd party tools at all. Not only would it remove the help 3rd-party tools provide, but it would also leave a situation where anyone still using 3rd-party tools would be using them for things that actually provide an unfair advantage over other players - sniping bots are the most prevalent example of this. This would provide you with an easy way of detecting which players are just using 3rd party tools to not waste time, and which ones are using them to expressly gain an advantage - all rational members of the community would be in favour of this, as the community at large does not like sniping bots. I'm interested to see how streamlined SBCs affects this in FC 27, ultimately - if the menu GUI is actually quick, I think the system is effective enough that there would be a reduction, though not an abolishment, of people using 3rd party tools just to save time - I really hope this does come to fruition, as I think a world in which the community is satisfied with the EA-provided methods is the best possible.

TLDR: If EA improved menu efficiency and speed, 3rd-party tools could be used in combination with SBC softbans, and it would be fair and generally accepted, alongside making it clear who's actually cheating and who just wants to save time. Hopefully, streamlined SBCs eradicate the need for them, though the menu GUI needs to be much better than it has been in recent years for it to do so.

Thanks.
