I'm not sure if this is affecting any Xbox/PC users, but it seems theres been a huge ban wave across the game that is falsely banning people for cheating or coin distribution. Zirksee has already tweeted about it, and there's numerous tweets that people have posted about them being banned. It looks like it's not affecting any users other than PlayStation users, but I'd like to hear from the community to see if it is actually affecting any other consoles.
I’m PS5 and banned… mine says match cheating?
only thing i did was boost one guy by letting him get 3 rushing TDS as i was losing. and i quit so i didn’t even get the stats? he’s ps5 too and i messaged him and he’s playing right now, not banned.
i did beat two solo battles by 100-50 ish both games, but that’s offline, CPU gameplay… that should not get me banned at all. it’s fricken solo battles.
are we supposed to play close sweaty games against the CPU for solo battle points? like seriously? why even add rookie difficulty if that’s the case when you breath on the QB and it’s a fumble 6. they can’t even complete a pass

I'm a bit concerned seeing your posts about this as someone who just wiped a solo battle on rookie with a score of about 130-14 (I intentionally let them score a couple to return a couple kickoffs for TDs. I promise) and really, I don't think to stat pad this way is remotely hard for anyone. I have definitely heard enough credible stories of people being banned though, which is one of many reasons that I don't wallet beyond buying the game.
anyone know if it has anything to do with either
1. Changing lineups during the waller event to get a higher than 81 OVR team on the field
OR
2. Selling multiple wallers and making a ton of coins?
just some thoughts as to why it may have happen, idk anything, just wanted to see if anyone that got banned did this and see if theres some correlation

I'm sure you did something else. Solo battles are against the cpu. You probably did something you weren't supposed to online

Manipulating during the Walle event I'd be totally on board with. Those users knew it was a glitch and exploited it.

Who didn't do this? Literally every single person did it

I couldn't even get into the event. I tried tons of different lineups and every time got the "event not available"
It's a shame every time someone is going to find an exploit and it's gonna spread through social media like wildfire. We just cannot have nice things

Not me, I didn't participate. It's irrelevant how many people took part in the misdeed.

So EA allows it to happen and bans people for it? nowhere did it say you can't have high overalls as backups in the game
Yeah it’s definitely Not beating the cpu 100-50 in solo battles. Every solo battle I’ve played all year is usually 80+-0. I could totally see the Darren Waller event being the reason you got banned. I remember seeing you posting that you won a couple of wallers and made a ton of coins. If they really did ban all the people for cheating in that event, that sucks but they had guidelines and if you cheated around the set guidelines it definitely makes sense cause that isn’t fair play

But what would be the point of them setting all those guidelines in the game mode just for you to have high overall backups being subbed in on the first play? Definitely defeats the purpose of the mode. Which is why I didn’t touch it. If this is why they’re banning people more power to them, they didn’t follow the guidelines

Not sure. But maybe they shouldn't allow overalls higher than 81 in that mode? i don't see how it's cheating if every single person can do it.

i didn’t even manipulate it though. had no need to pause the game and sub players out yet i got banned
