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.
iOS Companion app not saving squad
I am using the latest version of the iOS FC26 Companion app (26.3.0). Just recently when I make changes to my squad through the companion app (in the starting squad AND the bench) and then close the app and re-open it, my changes don’t save. It just restores to the last version before the edits. Tried creating a copy of the existing squad and got an error (An error occurred and your Squad was not saved. Please try again later.). Tried creating a whole new squad with the changes I wanted, and when I try to set it as my primary squad it still shows the same error. And when I close and re-open the app, that new squad becomes empty. I attached a screenshot of the first time I got the error in the app.menu lagging too much, the game is not
I am contacting you regarding a persistent freezing issue in EA FC that occurs only when I use my EA account. The game freezes mainly in the menus (packs, squads, tabs, transfer market, matchmaking search, etc.), while gameplay itself is fine whenever it manages to load. To avoid repeating steps, here is everything I have already done: Full game reinstall (deleted all files + downloaded again). Rebuild Database from PS5 Safe Mode. Reinstall PS5 System Software via USB in Safe Mode. Tested multiple EA accounts on the same console → all other accounts work normally, no freezing at all. Tested my PSN & EA account on another PS5 → the same freezing happens only on my EA account. Stable internet connection, and other online games (like Fortnite) run with zero issues. Storage checked, no bad sectors, and every other game works smoothly. Since the issue happens exclusively with my EA account, even after reinstalling system software and testing other accounts/consoles, this clearly indicates a server-side or account data issue on EA’s end.
There are so many cheaters.
The team of the 80 Gold Card player, whose speed is also 80, was standing shoulder to shoulder with my 99 player, so I thought the opponent was a 99 team! This happens right up to the very end, yet no matter how much we complain about it, nothing gets done! It seems like they just find it a hassle to deal with reports about the slow speed! **** Also, please make the reporting process easier... It feels like they’ve made reporting unnecessarily complicated. Are they selling cheat programs alongside the game itself? I’ve reported these guys using cheat programs countless times, but I’ve never once seen any of the players I blocked actually get banned!
No More Mixed Teams!!
I love womens football. My wife was a professional player, so I watched a lot of it. And of course watched tons of mens of football as well. I used to play a little too. There is no comparison between mens and womens football. Not even in the highest levels of womens football and that's because of physics/nature (call it what you will). I 've watched many mixed gender friendly games of professional teams (mainly for charity and/or promotion) and there is no way to compare the physicallity of men to that of women. Men central defenders devour women attackers, even if they are the smallest and fastest women attackers. What EA is doing to this game is WRONG. It takes away the "truthfulness", the sense of the game that most people know, love and appreciate. I understand that there are a lot of players that are not interested in football, don't know how it's played properly and/or don't even care. They probably never played the real game and/or watched one. They only want fast/small/powerfull players and EA provides just that, by (wrongfully) overpowering women football players. But for those of us that like True Football, this is crazy! Does not make sense and it is something that, in the future, may affect the real game. Would you like to see Pina playing for the Barcelona Mens team? She would have a hard time even concetrating from all the "grabbing", pushing, shoving, cursing, hitting that happens during a real game. Would it be nice to have Haaland playing with the Manchester City ladies team. Who would be able to stop him??? And because Haaland plays a bit dirty (the nature of the game), he would end up with harassment lawsuits every week! Please put an end to this!!!Xbox FC26 Mass “Coin Distribution” Permanent Bans
