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.
Not getting wins when the opponent quits
Please can something be done about players quitting the game when they're losing and the opponent does not get the win. I play online Seasons and almost every game the opponent quits when I am in a winning position. They either wait till 80+ minutes to quit or if they're losing by a big scoreline, they will quit the game immediately and I will not get the win nor will there be a record to show I played that opponent. Sometimes they will cheat by pausing the game, do something to quit and a message will show "you have lost connection to your opponent..." Sometimes the disconnection will be immediately after you score (almost instantly) and you will not get the win and there will be no record of that game. And finally, they also cheat by stop playing after you score. The game will restart from the centre circle and the opponent will not move at all, then after approximately a minute you will lose connection to your opponent and not get the win etc. The level of frustration this causes when people are doing it almost every game is immense and I will not play online Seasons anymore until this issue is fixed. I hope EA will do something about it.“Connecting to ultimate team is not possible at the moment”
I was playing gauntlet Tuesday. Was kicked out of ultimate team. since then, whenever I try load ultimate team I am greeted with “connecting to ultimate team is not possible at the moment” I’ve tried every single fix under the sun and nothing works. anyone has this issue?
I didn't get to choose between the player or the packs on level 40
When reaching level 40 I claim my rewards because I wanted the Tomori card to put into my team. Upon claiming the rewards I didn't get to choose between either of the 2 players or packs, it just gave me the packs. I haven't opened either of them as I hope someone can help me out or reverse it please as I wanted the Tomori card and not the pack, the Rodgers card I couldn't care about and don't mind getting the pack but its still annoying it bugged.Hourly SP Limit reached
Today I got a notification on Ultimate team to say that I had reached the 'hourly SP limit' and therefore wouldn't earn any more SP, this came after completing a match that should have given me around 3.6k SP which I didn't receive, the objectives have registered as completed and after speaking to an EA advisor I found out there's no way of trying to claim the earned SP back, even though they do admit that there is no indication of there being an SP limit until you have already lost out on the earned SP... this seems like a complete error on EA's behalf and shouldn't be a feature that's in the game if they have made that amount of SP available to obtain at 1 time!
Extremely Disappointed With TOTY Pack Luck
I feel really sad and disappointed. I spent a lot of time, effort, and money during the TOTY event, yet I didn’t receive a single TOTY player. It honestly feels like all my time and resources were wasted. At this point, it makes me wonder if getting a TOTY player is even possible for me. I hope EA seriously reviews the luck system and finds a fair solution for players like me.
