Lmao, oof!

I logged in earlier today to see that some of my auctions had sold. Closed the game.

Just now logged back in and was checking prices on some cards I have to see 'your account has been denied this feature.' I was like eh, maybe a glitch with 99 Whitney Mercilus. It was on GT Calvin Johnson as well.

Check my email, sure enough had just received an email at 11:21 PM EST with a ban. I had sold off most of my team after getting OBJ on 6/1/2024. Shortly after seeing the ban, I realize what likely triggered it. I bought GT Mean Joe Greene for 2.1m while he was around that price. I saw there was a few listed with < 1 hour the other day, I posted for 2m figuring it'd eventually be the only card up. At like 5 AM he sold for 2m (while the price was ~1.1-1.2m). I'm thinking this is what flagged for a ban.

I know I'm unlikely to win a ban appeal with this but I guess, be weary if you're listing a card for a decent bit. I wasn't planning on getting M25 anyways. I was, however, thinking about getting NCAA25 but I'll just skip it altogether now.

ETA:

Oh, yeah. Lol. You can see the recent sales of 99 MJG and the 2m I sold him for a few days ago. Oof. Hopefully whoever bought him didn't get banned as well.

E a is greedy they ain't trying to let us make any coins definitely defeats the purpose of 'auction' ya know

Yeah. Lmao. Just didn’t think or know that selling the only 99 GT MJG on the block would trigger it. Just wanted to make some of that 2.1m coins back and was fine if it didn’t sell. 
 

Submitted an appeal so we’ll see what happens. I was definitely not getting M25 but was on the fence for NCAA25, so this makes the choice for me.

You are only banned for Madden 24 not 25 or College Football 2025

Its happened to me before .. I'm sure it will be reversed by the morning .. it's was with me ...

Unfortunately, I don't think that'll be the case. To them, it likely looks like a positive and true detection. From the outside looking in, I'd agree, but that's why these auction house ranges are dumb. Or at the very least, implemented in a very dumb way.

My case will depend if a human looks at it. Lol.

Yeah, I know. But had already decided not to play M25 as I spend too much time messing around with the game. This has just been the deciding factor for CFB25. I likely would've gotten that for the Dynasty Mode so I can play more leisurely without having to keep up with MUT (or CUT) teams and what not.

I dont think that got you banned

I routinately list cards for well over their average selling price, and they occasionally sell

I did - auction house banned. I have the in-game denial of auction house and received the email. 
 

Listing and selling GT MJG for 2m when he was selling for ~1.1-1.2m is the only thing I can think of, which seems plausible to me.
