I'm saying that the ROOT cause was the new EA registration and the conflicts it caused within itself and the cloud saves of other sources. EA recognized this and shut down their email registration and cloud saves system, but it was already too late for those affected.
I've been told that banners from way back will appear on the start screen - Like announcements proclaiming the release of 'New' features such as Battlez, and the introduction of Power Mints. For that to happen, the cloud saves must have been scrambled and it's become a lottery for anyone affected regarding what kind of save will be restored to their device when syncing a profile with the usual provider.
Once the 'bug' is in place within those saves it becomes imprinted and therefore self-sustaining, which results in the continuing weird behaviour of the app when it comes to resources fluctuating and players being 'Soiled' along with losses of streaks.
