Mass False Bans for “Balance Transfer” on PC
Throwback to 24.12.25, when EA’s automated detection system flagged thousands of PlayStation accounts for “balance transfer.” After 8–10 hours, they fixed the issue and unbanned everyone with a single click. Everyone thought the problem was resolved, the Wildcards promo continued, and the money kept flowing. Now, three weeks later, guess what’s happening on PC? Exactly the same thing that happened on Christmas Eve. Multiple accounts in my community have been banned over the span of just two days. Casual players, traders — you name it. I even tested the issue myself by hopping onto unused accounts, trading a few cards, and playing a couple of Rivals games. And guess what? After about 10 hours of normal gameplay, I got banned for literally no reason. We didn’t sell coins. Most of us didn’t use any external web app add-ons or bots. Just regular Weekend League gameplay with some trading on the side to improve our teams — literally using the in-game market as intended. My friends and I did some research to figure out what might have caused this. We reviewed the cards we bought and sold, as well as our profits and losses. Across all 14 accounts, there was exactly one common card purchased on every single account: Ibanez Winter Wildcard. The point of this post is to make this issue public and hopefully get it noticed by someone at EA. Many people have lost their time, money, and nerves. EA Help’s policy is based almost entirely on automated responses, so when you try to appeal a ban, you’re stuck resending the same message only to get rejected by a bot 24 hours later. It’s incredibly frustrating. I've already made a post on Reddit and X both got quite a big attention, but still no action by EA. So please, if you’re in the same situation, upvote this post. Feel free to comment about your experience with EA Help, and if you managed to get unbanned, let us know how you did it. Fellow EA FC 26 players — cheers.
What is the key combo for teleporting?
Hey guys, Sometimes defenders tackle my attacker and take the ball, I'd like to learn how to teleport away from tackles. What is the key combo for this? Is it right stick? Here is what I want to do: https://youtube.com/shorts/CP9mP614ah4 I asked a couple of players how to do it but they said something about "scripting", I guess they are just haters without skills. (I asked EA Forum's mods there is no scripting in this game, they assured me) I just want to learn and get better at this game. Thank you so much in advance
Cheater
Especially on weekends, cheaters reach their peak, and there are almost no opponents playing without cheating. I've been playing this game since October, and there's been no change or decrease in cheaters whatsoever. Are you planning to fix this? Because I don't want to participate in online matches anymore. Stop allowing them to steal our time, money, and effort!!Can Icon swaps save this game?
Should I stick around for Icon swaps or should I just quit? I just suffered my worst defeat in FC 26. My opponent had 2 TOTY players in his squad. I expected him to score a lot of goals, but did EA really have to help him by nerfing my attack? All 5 of my finesse+ shots hit the post. I passed the ball into space for my RW to run onto. He instantly stopped as soon as he got to the ball. The LB caught him and won the ball back. My players would receive a pass and knock away from goal. By the time I was in position to shoot, his players were positioned to block/tackle. I've definitely gotten better since the game was released (play regularly), but why does it feel like I'm just constantly getting battered? It seems like the results are getting worse and worse since TOTY was released. Squad battles is no longer fun now that I know there are objectives that impact the score. Instead of playing freely and practicing, I'm trying to complete the match objectives to maximize my points. I didn't pay $100 just to play Rush (the only slightly fun mode left). Should I wait for Icon swaps or should I just quit?EA "Sweatfest" 26. The gameplay is stale.
Why does it feel like I'm playing the same opponent over and over again? All they do is lose the ball and pull all their players back to defend. With 8 players defending, I have no space to make passes. They eventually win the ball back and hit me with a counter attack. A bunch of them are using R1 defending and relying on their OP players to make tackles. I thought this game was supposed to reward manual defending. Why do my STs bounce off their CBs backs, but their STs run through my CBs? I saw my opponent sent his ST on a run (L1). I took control of my CB and ran back toward my goal. The ball comes through and my player gets to it first. He fails to take control of it and his ST runs through the CB's back and knocks him off the ball (challenge from behind is no longer a foul?). How do I get my CDM to defend? Regardless of tactics (DLP, Holding, Center Half) he always far from the defensive line. The only way I can get him to get involved in the play is if I pull him back manually. This game is boring because everyone is just sweating for wins.Fix your game EA, I was robbed in my last champs game!!!
I was matched against this scrub with a ridiculous TOTY team, beat him fair and square in extra time 4-2, the only reason it was that close was due to his TOTY Donnaruma pulling off ridiculous saves. The final whistle blows, I get disconnected from the servers and a loss? You've got to be kidding me, I've the fastest Internet in my country, a 2GB Digiweb fiber optic connection wired directly into my router, I've never been disconnected from any game. This guy defo scumbagged a win with some sort of cheat. His xbox ID was [REMOVED], look into my last game EA, ban that clown. My Xbox ID is EasyWins 24/7, sort it out I'm furious about that game.
