Banned From the Transfer Market, Despite Legitimate Trading
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with EA SPORTS FC 26. The main reason I played Ultimate Team was trading on the Transfer Market. I spent hours over several weeks buying players and items at lower prices and reselling them for profit so I could build my team. EA first removed my coins for alleged “coin distribution,” even though I did not buy or sell coins, use bots, transfer coins between accounts, or use third-party services. I appealed several times and even submitted video evidence showing the legitimate trading method I was using. I was then banned from using the Transfer Market. I repeatedly asked EA to explain which specific transaction or trade they believed broke the rules, but my appeals were rejected without giving me that explanation. The Transfer Market was the main reason I bought and played the game, so losing access to it has completely taken away my reason to play. My warning to other players is this: if trading and making most of your coins through the Transfer Market is a big part of why you play, I would think carefully before buying the game. Based on my experience, I traded heavily, made good profits legitimately, and still ended up being sanctioned for coin distribution without being told which specific trade supposedly broke the rules. I cannot prove why this happened, but the experience has left me wondering whether players who become very successful at making coins through trading can be wrongly flagged, while the game also encourages spending money on FC Points and packs. Whatever the reason, legitimate traders should not be punished without a clear explanation of what they actually did wrong. After this experience, I won’t be pre-ordering the next FC game. I just wanted to play the Transfer Market legitimately and receive a clear explanation if EA believed I had broken a rule.
