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.
fc 26 is the worst football/soccer game created ever
this is the worst year i have ever played an EA game ive never complained about the game being pay to win because it was fun but the last time ive enjoyed playin this game was 3 years ago in fifa 23 and you can see this since i didnt buy last 2 parts 24 and 25 this game needs fixing passes are broken defense is disgusting long shots arent nerfed but removed from the game and packs are so bad i pre ordered the game and played it every day since my team is still so bad and i have only 7k coins also i cant **bleep** win a game because of how the mechanics are this year its impossible to get a good pack and impossible to defend an attack but some how also impossible to execute an attack fix the game and fix the packsIssue to receive my TOTW 86max choice
I have complet all the objectives needed to obtain the TOTW choice in the foundation group but the game don't want to validitate the objectif "first spot" so i can't receive the pack. I already close my game, shut off my console but the problem still here. Please if anyone can help i would appreciate thnks.
Where are my Heirloom shards?
Guest blogger OldTreeCreeper is a member of the EA Community Superuser Program. I have been playing Apex Legends since 2019 and I strategically bought my first heirloom in an anniversary event, with collected coin, crafting materials, EA play discount and an additional €43 in purchased coin. It was a joyous occasion for me, as I had lusted after Wraith's Kunai for some time. I continued wondering how many packs I had opened up, but from then on I would collect up my packs by the hundred and then open them. I now made a note of each hundred opened, a simple way to keep track of the packs I'd opened as I could count to 5 😁. Eventually I opened my first free Apex Heirloom pack. Another joyous occasion for me, as I could now get Wraith's prestigue skin. That took 3 years. I got my second free heirloom after I had opened another 495 packs. My next 2 heirlooms came from the Winters Haunt event using collected coin, crafting materials and pack discount offers. I have that detailed in the below post: Winters Haunt Event Since the introduction of the weekly Spark Bonus packs, I now open the packs in ten's weekly (if I have them) to take advantage of the additional free bonus pack, again making a note as I go along of how many ten pack's I've opened. I am currently at 101 packs opened towards my next heirloom. The level cap in Apex Legends is effectively 2000, so you can loop through levels 1 to 500 four times. The total number of packs you can now earn, through simply leveling up to level 2000, is 544 packs. That is a guaranteed heirloom! The awarding of shards is automatic upon the opening of your 500th pack. The award of shards in any other pack under the 500 pack count is a random lucky event for some. If you are lucky enough to get shards from a pack in under 500 packs, the pack counter is reset to 0. For heirloom purposes, Thematic packs are the same as Apex packs, they count towards the 500 pack heirloom guarantee. Collection event packs are different, as they just count towards the collection event reward and not towards the heirloom guarantee. Additionally the pack counter is not reset if you buy a heirloom. Neither spending those bought shards, nor getting a free event heirloom will reset the pack counter. If you have not counted up your packs, there are 3rd party sites that can give you a rough idea of where you are in the countdown to your guranteed heirloom, like the one below, but it's complicated imo. Apex pack calculator A recent community manager post included officialy published Heirloom Shard drop rates, which indicate an actual global minimum drop rate per pack percentage of 0.045%. CM Official Game Update I think it is safe to say that everybody in the Apex community would love to see Respawn add an "opened pack" counter for heirloom purposes to the game. I wish you the very best of luck out there, in your quest for a precious heirloom.
Goodbye EA
I’ve submitted all my players into SBCs, used all my coins and FC Points on packs, quick sold everything, and cleared my club before signing off. What pushed me to this point was the constant experience of facing full credit card squads in Rivals, Champs, and even Live Events. TOTYs, multiple meta players, icons everywhere. I honestly can’t remember the last time I played against what felt like a fair, no-money-spent team. Right now, the game feels designed around spending power rather than skill. Competitive modes are supposed to reward ability, not who can invest the most money into packs. I am seriously considering pursuing legal action under Indian consumer protection laws. A competitive product marketed as skill-based should not provide systemic advantages to paying users. This game should not be pay to win. If necessary, I’m prepared to challenge that in court.
