You can't fault a guy for playing the mode the way EA designed it to be played. I do wish there were a no-money mode, but that's not what makes EA's shareholders happy.

I lose to guys with better teams all the time. What loses me games isn't the better teams. It's all the dirty, cheap, mindless plays. Those and the juiced teams are the reason you're not winning. If you hope to have a prayer against guys dumping cash into the game, sell your soul and cheat like they do, and you'll steal a few.

Let me clarify a few things. First, you don’t actually know me, so before making assumptions of me being fishy please gather some factual evidence to stand on before calling another grown man shady. Second, it says a lot about your character to judge someone without knowing the full story. Lastly, how I choose to spend my money is my business and doesn’t impact you at all. It seems like you might be the one with the issue here.

Nah you absolutely lost any credibility or sympathy when you said you listed it at 4,111,111. Really, really scummy move. You think we are stupid? Everyone here knows exactly what you were doing, stop trying to BS people who play the game, we aren't EA. Well deserved ban, almost instant karma. Supposed grown man playing the victim, we don't need to 'know you' to see what you are.

I'm on the same boat as you are my friend.

I believe that I was banned for scooping up a bunch of 83's that started popping up at around 3am.

83s were going for around 11k right before Christmas and I was trying to complete the Stocking Stuffer set.

Right around 3am a bunch of 83s started popping up for around 7k, so I was buying them as fast as I could.

I ended up using the 83s to build the missing 87s needed for the set and was able to get the update tocken.

Next day I was banned.

No reason given.

This guy isn’t bad, the other one is tho

I’m showing this thread to my kids one day to show them the rights and wrongs of madden

He wasn’t even out for a hour yet when I first listed him during Christmas for 24 hours prior to me leaving the house to go out and do family gatherings. knowing it was the best QB in the game and no predictions on what his price would be I listed at 4,111,111. About 9p.m Xmas night 10 mins away from getting home I received an email about ban for coin distribution. Literally not once ever transferred coins nor had multiple accounts nor sold any coins. I had 27k coins when they banned me for coin distribution because I ripped the last million on packs Xmas morning. Over 107 presents I listed at random prices immediately that morning. My account has not once violated any TOS. This is considered theft on their end due to everything I’ve earned was from purchasing packs with real money. I’ve bought cards on accident numerous times and that is not proof of someone selling or buying coins.

I sympathized with you until I saw messages pointing back to this post. Please note this everyday-language reference from EA:

9. Don’t cheat

Cheating can include, but isn’t limited to, using external tools, performing in-game exploits, abusing glitches or bugs, performing, using, buying, or selling match collusion, matchmaking manipulation, or win manipulation services. Cheating, inside or outside the game, isn’t fair play and hurts the experience for all players.

Some people have a very narrow view of the English word "cheat", but dictionaries are definitive on this: 'to act dishonestly in order to gain an unfair advantage'.

You almost certainly knowingly exploited a bug in the Madden Companion App that doesn't display thousands commas as it should, and the user that purchased your Allen likely thought he was getting a snipe at 411k coins. He almost certainly felt defrauded when he realized that the transaction cost him  1000% of what he expected to pay, with no recourse to reverse the transaction. Your burden of proof to establish that your intention was not to defraud is extremely high.

EA's win probability in this case just shot up to 99.9% on this detail.

Unfortunately, I would give up. Start a new profile on your system while the market is down. They don't have to give it back and they are scripted not to. You will waste your time with people who don't care claiming that you broke the guidelines. I spent months doing this with Madden 24 and just had to give up and move on to a new profile. I know it's not the answer you want but better now while the market is lower you can grind and rebuild your team. Just be cautious on the AH man I swear the people that monitor this don't play the game.

Close this thread already. OP successfully scammed someone and that was his intention from the start. People like this should be removed from the game permanently so they can't take advantage of other people. Bye bye OP, be better.

You listing for 4,111,111 is just scummy. You know for a fact you were hoping someone on the mobile app would misread And think it was 411,111. no one is going To give you sympathy after that fact

this

I received a ban once before in Madden 24, they acted like it was permanent, but only lasted 2 weeks. When the account was reinstated, all the coins from the banning transaction were there. 
i havent bought any coins in Madden 25, but if you do, all the coin sites now recommend never selling at more than 70% of max value. The banning algorithm must flag over that percentage

Thank you for your feedback. I wouldn’t be as upset if it weren’t for the significant amount of money I’ve invested in the game. It feels disheartening to see where I stand as a customer. A large portion of my coins were earned through purchasing packs, and I’ve spent over a thousand dollars in the past few months. While it’s unfortunate, I believe it’s unjust to confiscate all my coins, especially since they were acquired legitimately with my hard-earned money. As a result, I’ve decided not to participate any further and will need to file a fraud report with my bank, as I view this as theft that doesn’t violate the terms of service.

good  idea to file a fraud report, but just to let you know, I filed one earlier this year because my account was actually hacked and about 1,000 dollars was stolen. I filed a fraud report but what happened was ea went to my bank and said that because the money was legitimatly used to purchase points/ gift cards  That they weren’t allowed to reinstate the stolen money. so I didn’t get my money AND playstation perma banned my account. So I had to re-buy every game that I had on my account and restart everything from zero. 
so be carefu whatever you decide to do😭

I don’t think he was trying to get someone to accidentally buy it for 10x what it was worth. he tried highballing a card that had the potential to have a massive upswing, and his gamble paid off. I’m actually impressed

I've highballed. But I don't use the trailing ones technique that is used to exploit the formatting of pricing displayed on the Madden Companion App. Have you used the app? Super helpful on the Auction House, but users frequently pay millions for a card they expected cost hundreds of thousands, all for the lack of thousands commas as displayed.
