BANNED REVERSED

Here's my original ban thread, which has the form letter you'll need to print out and send off.

Damn bro just got done reading through your entire thread. I know we share a lot of the same frustrations and eerie similarities with this BS. Thank you for your time and good luck fighting the good fight. BTW I was tempted to go down to eA's headquarters to attempt to talk to someone since I'm not too far lol. (Glad I let cooler heads prevail)

I've been through a range of emotions.  Both with the NFL and this notoriously brutal company.  It's not a good game, i don't know (beyond the obvious addiction aspects) how or why i still hang around.  It's not liek things are going to get any better.  I was holding out hope that maybe EA or the league would see the benefits of having a bit of competition, but that's antithesis to everything the league stands for, in terms of their desire to have complete power and control over basically everything, perhaps even down to the outcome of the (often seemingly rigged) games.

Thankfully it's been 15+ years since I've lived on the left coast... which saves me from myself and having any similar urges.  I'm just an old man screaming at clouds at this point.  We'll see if i can muster the effort to print a letter and drop it in the mail.  Not having access to the auction house over break will certainly save me from wasting a ton of time doing bullshit market work to try and fund these ridiculously expensive rosters.  Maybe i'll find something more constructive to do with all the time on my hands, got a ~2 week break when offices close here for the holiday season.  Good luck, keep us posted on your progress if/when you decide to battle this out.  Hopefully I won't be too far behind you... although i'm a perpetual slacker, so we shall see.

Bingo. We're guilty of almost the exact same thing. I spent $100 on Blitz, which I felt was fairly low, bought the very first Deion to hit the PS5 market for 4.5M, used him for two days and sold. Bought him one more time heading into the weekend, then again sold as I didn't know exactly when the "good" Blitz offers were going to land and tank the prices.

Rarely have I experienced a company that truly despises their player base as much as Madden and CFB. Wish I had the balls to simply walk away, but what other NFL games are we going to play, Tecmo Bowl?

Thank you for the info. We observed Rule violation in MADDEN 26 EA SPORTS SECURITY.

This means violating the rules in the EA User Agreement and/or Positive Play Charter. 

I have no idea how that pertains to me playing the game and working the auction house. I bought Deion and his boy twice and made a small profit each time, and sold some set pieces from the binder that were selling high at the time.

Glad you were unbanned. I was banned on December 8th for breaking ea security policy. It was weird that it said pc violation, and I only play xbox. Wiped out 25 million coins. I appealed, and ea said the appeal is pending. No idea why I would've been banned, I am sure I didn't break policy, unless spending too much money on the game and selling cards on the auction house is wrong.

The people reviewing your case aren’t even real that’s also AI so you’ll just get a deny deny deny every time you need to type up a letter and mail taking them to arbitration.

Thanks for all the information.  Pretty frustrated that this has happened, taken the enjoyment completely out of the game.

Bro jus when I had lost all hope a friend shared this post with me.  I was banned on 11/8/25 after being accused of Coin Distribution.  The day before the ban I bought a Purple Eagles card from 4 mil.  Yes I know that price tag is outrageous but I had the coin and needed the card to get my Eagles TT to 40/40.  Anyway I tried everything from appeals to emails to live chats but none of those options got me anywhere.  I gave up about a week ago.   But I’m gonna give it one more shot by printing off that document and sending it by mail to EA.  I gotta good feelin about this!

Everyone I just got my account unbanned and all my coins restored  it was a long fight and battle with EA. If you are falsely banned don’t give up it is possible I want to thank @peatrick for his guidance and support I couldn’t have done it without you man thank you so much!!!

Oh Man,  @peatrick I was just banned from the auction house.  I really need help.  I submitted an appeal and I'm waiting for a response. 

I need my coins back and my  account unbanned.

Awww maaaan, extremely sorry to hear this dude. Welcome to the club. EA no-Help will find that they've done nothing wrong and the ban will stand. 

You'll need to fill out the form letter and send it off in snail mail, to EA Legal. Unfortunately I cannot even help myself, I've been banned about a week. Happy Christmas to us. We're all doomed.
