Account Ban

Dang, got the account ban for buying and selling on the AH.  Of course sent the email help to try and unlock and return my coins.  
 

Stated they did a review and was coin distribution.  Craziness.  I never once bought or sold coins to anybody or condone it from past MutHead or current MutGG.  
 

I got banned in M22 for using the AH and stayed away until this year.  Was pumped up for Most Feared, selling most of my team launch day to upgrade and bam….didnt make it through day one of MF or get any 90 upgrades to my team.  
 

Agh, I guess better luck next time and find some fresh air and do productive sh*t in life instead of play the game.  Thanks for listening.  Wish me luck on appeal and happy Madden-ing my peeps.

Hmm, and yet there are thousands and thousands of people who have NEVER gotten banned.  Is this just bad luck for you? Orrrrrrr, something else you’re not admitting to

there must be more to this story then what your telling us. I had 1.5M before MF promo sold majority of my players and got back to 3.5m and flipped cards made about 300k. So you did something that triggered a ban. Did you sell your coins or had another account?

^this, I have been selling players and rebuying players when they drop and then selling them over and over. I probably bought mean joe, brown, achane, hargrave, gastantuea, Will anderson, and etc like 15x and sold them at a profit .

Nope. just buying and selling on the AH just like everybody.  All challenges completed, and do all the dailies/weeklies.  I did get a couple of profitable sales from making 2x Legends Ware and Legends Moore for about 500K when they first came out.  Sold all four of them the day MF dropped for 616K each.  Might have triggered it because their value fluctuated a lot during the week with people not building, buying, and the floor dropping on prices leading into MF.  

I have never bought or sold coins, or condoned it.  Hell, i wouldnt even know how to sell them if I wanted to and wouldnt trust buying from anybody.  

You can check the same username and history here or MutHead if you feel something is missing.  

At the end of the day, it is what it is.  On the positive side, hours of each day wont be tied into the dailies, weeklies, challenges, Solo Seasons/Battles, House Rules, ect.  Although fun, it took up at least an hour of my day for daily maintenance.  Only ended with an 87 team so it wasnt like I was balling out here.  Zero LTDs.  Can still play the game just not the AH itself if I wanted to; wasnt a complete ban.  They suspended the AH and took all coins.

And yet people can exploit a glitch without any ramifications. What's wrong with this picture?

I always find it interesting when people claim that they got banned for doing exactly what I did.

Ware and Moore were really good sets for a few days, although the window for those being especially profitable closed a little more than a week ago. I don't like to assume that every ban story involved an explicit violation of EA's TOS, as data-driven bot-bans are prone to error in certain mathematically peculiar situations. Did you have any other details?

I got the email as I was playing still.  And kicked me to return and AH locked and coins taken. 

"because your account was involved in coin distribution, weve removed all coins from your account and permantly removed your access to the auction house and madden companion app for madden 25."  It stated heres why, you can earn coins by playing MUT and buying and selling items in the auction house, but buying coins from a third party is against our rules.  It further states EA Rules, you break the rules if you buy coins, farm coins, distribute or sell coins, prmote coin buying or selling, promote encourage or take part in any prohibited activity described in section 6 in our user agreement.  

I play the game and all challenges, dailys, ect trying to max the rewards.  And use the AH to buy and sell players like everybody else.  I didnt even have a stacked team.  Just an 87 overall that played decent but definately not top tier.  I dont exploit and cant even user well.  Rough times in the madden world.  

Willing to provide any details to anybody.  Transparent as can be, and have never done any coin buying/selling or distribution and do not promote or condone it.   Just a regular dude that likes to play the game with their boys, trying my best for NMS.  IDK.

i believe ya. same happened to me last year and everyone said i cheated lol. sometimes when you are flipping cards you get flagged and it is bullshit because people did the legends glitch and they don’t get banned. 

it’s just tough luck man not much you can do

This stinks. I do this. I’m NMS. So I do all challenges. Weekly solo battles and seasons. And I rigorously check AH to flip cards that seem undervalued. I’m not doing anything wrong to my knowledge. Just trying to get ahead without paying.

It’s for sure bad luck. I got banned on old gen madden 23 for working the auction house.
