 Well, I did not expect to be making this video today guys, nor did I ever think I would find myself in this situation on FC 24 I've been trading on this game for eight years. I've never done anything to break the rules Bend the rules or really do anything against terms of service But evidently in the last couple of days the last hours. I don't even know EA has decided or some computer at EA has decided that I have broken the rules And I sat down in this very chair about 45 minutes ago to record the nightly YouTube video that we always upload And I noticed something was wrong. I loaded into my account and I saw my coin amount Was zero my coins Vanished gone and I have no idea why But what is it has really inside it in me is the conversation that we've talked about plenty of times on stream And it needs to be had today because this is really exposing a problem with EA's Systems and I know that EA is gonna watch this video and I want to provide some raw Unfiltered and pretty real true factual feedback as somebody who plays this game day in and day out has very many Contacts in the community that this very situation has happened to this year and it's a big problem this year And there are ways to fix it and they need to be acting upon those ways But it needs to be talked about and this video is also not for me to say EA. Give me my coins back, please I can't live without them. That's not what I'm doing with this video today guys, right? this video is to expose the problem and also to make you aware and inform you of this situation because it is Happening at an alarming rate this year I have heard of way more coin wipes and transfer market bands in this ultimate team than ever before And I think we can pinpoint some of the problems and that's what I want to do today in this video Because yeah guys, this is the last thing that I expected like I Had literally zero thoughts ever of this entire year of this game that I would potentially be coin wiped and I'm still 0% sure I I did don't know what happened I'm a hundred percent sure that I did nothing wrong and I am zero percent sure that I Know what this is band is about and I don't know what I'm even saying words are a bit difficult because I'm this is still fresh And this is still in my mind, but I'm thinking clearly and let's process this thing together Let's first talk about why EA even bans people and why people have been getting banned a lot this year on this game well guys People are banned on this game because they are involved in activities that EA doesn't like and there are rules There are terms of service on this game that if you break then you potentially could be banned rules That say like you cannot transfer coins you cannot buy and sell a player and transfer those coins from one account to another That is probably the most common reason that people get banned, right? And that is a rule because EA doesn't want you to be getting your coins from anywhere else But the store they want you to be opening packs with FC points and getting coins from those or playing the game and getting coins in that way Engaging with their product for you to get coins and build up your coins then go buy players do SBCs Get on the market and interact with the game even further, right? That is the whole point to why they ban people They don't want coin transfers being a thing and one of the things that they have put in place to stop coin transfers in FIFA 15 was price ranges and that was not very loved in FIFA 15 when they did it That was my first full year of playing ultimate team So I've really only ever known ultimate team with price ranges, right? It seems so like common for us now to have these price ranges where a player can be listed a minimum and a maximum It's funny We bring this up because we talked about this just yesterday on stream with this crazy scenario with Reese James, right? His minimum price was 400,000 coins, which was a mistake by the way This card was 290,000 coins on the market and then last Friday EA mistakenly Upgraded his minimum price the minimum that he could sell for on the market to 400,000 coins He was there for five days before they noticed or cared to change it and yesterday He went from 400k down to 58k if you bought a Reese James for 400,000 coins And sold it for like 50 to 60,000 coins where he is right now There's actually a high likelihood that you could be banned and coin wiped that is not what I did Don't worry. I looked at Reese James yesterday didn't buy him right, but that's the sort of stuff that is a Kind of a flag you would guess for a potential account ban on this game And because EA puts those flags and they kind of have those what would you call them parameters set in place? Because what happens when you transfer coins, right? Let's say you transfer coins from one account to another How does that even work? Probably shouldn't even be talking about this They don't want me to talk about this, but this is how it works, right? You buy a card off the market for a low price and you sell it for the maximum price that I can sell for So that you transfer those coins over to a different account, right? Usually there's some money involved people buy coins in that way. That's how it works It's a big problem and EA tried to stop all of that by putting in the price ranges But little did they actually know it made the problem worse This is a card that is a coin transfer machine You can go to and look at this card on the market almost any time of day and notice that it is selling for a price astronomically higher Then what it actually is worth Sam Kerr? What is this the Nike the first promo of the year the Nike card promo this card is a 200,000 coin card and it was 185k just a couple weeks ago But it's a 200,000 coin card with a 2 million coin maximum price range Why is this card have a 2 million maximum price range? There's no way this card should be anywhere near close to 2 mil If you know the market at all in this game as somebody who is in-depth with the market daily in and out in this game This is a card that I've seen used for coin transfers the entire year because our price range is so messed up and just wrong, right? EA all you have to do is minimize minimize that price range And you will stop some of the coin transfers and make it a lot harder for them to transfer coins But they still keep these random few cards with very very high price ranges and people still transfer coins the coin business coin selling business in Ultimate team across the world is a multi million dollar business I know people that are involved with these coin businesses and I don't interact with those businesses at all But I hear about some of the things that are going on in that realm It is ridiculous the number of coins that are a available and be that gets sold during Specific types times of the year is ridiculous And so EA is trying to stop all this with these price ranges and by banning and flagging these accounts But here's the problem If there's a multi million dollar business out there for coin transferring websites, are they really stopping the problem? No, hello, it's not being stopped at all. It is still thriving and well and what is happening on the flip side is They are banning people who should not be banned. I am example number one I have never transferred coins on this account on any account of mine ever and I don't plan to so whatever trade That was flagged by EA's system because by the way It's a system as far as I'm as far as I know It is a computer system that updates price ranges that increases them reduces them and even sets them With maybe a little bit of human intervention and employee interaction with those price ranges when the cards are first released Or maybe some maybe like with Reese James. Maybe they realize oh the computer messed up So we got to go fix this tour thing I don't know the ins and outs of how it works But I have been told and maybe this in information is not factual But I've been told that that is how this stuff works inside of EA's kind of system. It's a computer. It's an algorithm It's a software. It's something on a computer that changes these price ranges And also the computer system bans those players when they think something Suspect whatever parameters they have set for banning accounts and foresaying This trade or this movement from this account was something suspect We're gonna ban him right because of this action That's all set by a software and it's been happening a lot this year because of the price ranges to bring that back up again It's these cards like Kobe Manu that was extinct For basically the first month of the game because everybody wanted to put him in an Evo So many people have been banned this year for buying bronzes and silver cards Now, yes, it does have to do with leaks. It has to do with leaks by a lot of people getting leaks for what a SBC or rather an evolution is going to be released as and They invest in the players that are gonna fit that evolution that they think a lot of people are going to want to go out And buy to do the Evo for and then they sell those at a crazy high price Here's the best tip I can give you if there's ever a card that you own that is selling for Maximum price or it is extinct on the market Never I don't even care if you just have one Never list a card at maximum price if this Rogoni is extinct Which he was for a couple of months during the year because of an evolution If he's ever extinct or anything is ever extinct listed for like 9.5 K 9.7 K Remember when Kyle Walker was extinct I know a couple people that got banned because Kyle Walker was extinct for that Evo during the year, right? He was like 21,000 coins Extinct the guys who didn't get banned were the ones who invested in that card and then sold it for a thousand coins less for 20k instead of 21,000 coins when he was extinct at 21k and also the flip side guys I have a close friend who bought art a guler and was trading with this card after he went out of packs Kind of forgot that he had the card right this card had a minimum price of 43,000 coins somewhere right around in here He was 43,000 coins minimum price either friend who had nine of them He sold nine art a guler's for a minimum price of 43,000 coins. He lost like five to 10k per card So he lost like 90,000 coins. He just wanted to get his coins back, right? He sold at the minimum price range and the next day Banned coin wiped 2.7 mil for him gone has not come back So it is a problem that these computer systems have the control to ban Take away coins and I mean, I'm not market banned I think I mean I go and search the market and you can see here that I can search cards I can add them to my transfer targets and it at least allows me to do that. I don't think I'm truly a market band I think I just got my coins wiped and removed It's like almost a strike one feeling like oh you did something that was against terms of service strike one We're gonna take your coins not gonna ban you right. I don't know but this sort of situation with coin bans and Wipes and then market bans as well is Crazy off the charts this year and it's been impacting so many people and I am calling for EA to change this I'm calling for EA to care a little bit more about this system And maybe it's just fine-tuning some of these parameters that they have set. Maybe it's a new system Maybe it's just I don't know periodic checkups on this system But here's the problem with this guys because this impacts such a small percent of the community, right? You think about the messy situation. They said impacted point seven percent of the entire ultimate team community This situation that we're talking about with bans and coin wipes probably impacts even less of the community than that Just being completely honest But it impacts people who are supposedly doing wrong things But who are actually not doing anything wrong and the people that are buying and selling the coins and they're Actually breaking the rules which again if you're doing that, I don't have any hard feelings for you I'm just kind of talking about it how it goes if you're buying and selling coins in this game You know the risk that is associated with that right you get it You know you're breaking the terms of service and that you could get banned But more so the people that are doing that are getting banned less than the people That are just playing the game as it is meant to be and yeah Maybe they're privy like I mentioned to the Rogoni situation or the Kyle Walker situation. Yes people have leaks But if somebody has leaks again the number of people that actually have to leak and invest is so small Yes, it does create a market impact But the number of people that have that information is so small compared to the rest of the game in totality that it's like It really is such a small thing and that's why these bans are such a small thing as well Because it's impacting such a small percentage of the user base the average player who got who plays ultimate team Doesn't even care about a ultimate team band because they're they will never even come close to it, but they could somehow also Accidentally get coin wiped in band and boom think about it If you're EA you don't want to ban somebody who's a casual user or somebody who just enjoys playing the game You don't want to wipe their coins away It's especially wrongly so because then they're not going to want to come back and play your game at all That's the frustration that I think I have with this is that it's making people not want to mess with the market and with the game And it's also gonna ban people who are wrongfully banned like myself also as I'm making this video I've been constantly looking over at my phone to see if I have any notification like this, right? This is a common notification that you see right? We noticed your account was involved in cheating because of this We have suspended your access or we noticed that your account was involved in coin transferring an online coin manipulation Whatever nothing I had no message when I popped in the game. I have no email no communication whatsoever from EA and It is just it's frustrating man So it's all sitting with me fresh and I wanted to make this video because to tell you don't ever sell a card at Minimum price don't ever sell a card at maximum price and I don't think I'm getting my coins back So this is really a warning to you guys of to be careful It's just another thing to add to the list that is so annoying when playing this game That you have to worry about something like that let the market do what it wants to do man Let's supply and demand rain And and let the players sell what they want to sell players for and and buy what they want to buy players for That's my opinion on things. I think they could take more measures into Finding out which accounts are involved in coin transferring and banning. Hey, guess what EA? Here's a bit of a tidbit of information Go look at Sam Kerr this card and all the other cards that have really really high price ranges Just find the ones that have you know You can even go on footbin sales history and look at the Sam Kerr cards that have sold for two million coins instead of You know 200k where she actually is in value and you know, you can track accounts that way and get some bands in That way, I don't know guys It's just so frustrating because the people that are not supposed to be impacted by this are the ones that are impacted by these transfers So is it all over and done for me? I'm definitely demotivated to Trade right now in this game and I do have some coins left. You maybe have noticed. I have on to Fati I have to Mori a couple de Bruins. I I'm still gonna have some coins left over luckily At the time when my coins were wiped it didn't like wipe the coins or the cards for my account either It was literally just coins. So I was trading with an on to Fati yesterday. His price is down a lot now He's like just under a million. I bought him for 1.05 I was looking to sell him for close to 1.2 because he has been selling there But with the market dropping close to full birthday. He is down same thing with this to Mori I'm not gonna sell these cards right now because I don't want EA to see any more account activity or Market activity on my account so that it makes it way easier for me to explain it to them. What happened, right? I also have in my team a messy that I bought and I might not even sell this guy now because he's so good This card's incredible, right played a one or two games of them insane And I think I got a rage quit in the one game or the guy quit it right at the beginning So it didn't count. I thought I played more than one game with messy, but this guy was nuts so so That's the situation with my account. So if you add all of those coin values together I should have about two point something mill two and a half million coins rough estimate, right? one mill Just a below one mill. So like I guess maybe like two point seven million coins is what I should have But I had two point one million Before those coins were wiped or two point two million. So I have about half the coins that I should be having I'm gonna try to contact EA and here's another problem with all this, right? You're supposed to go to EA help to to get yourself information on why you were banned and all that sort of thing but We know that EA help is just not very helpful at all with these sorts of things and maybe it's for a reason that we don't know that They can't share information with us But yeah guys This is the last thing that I was expecting to see when I logged on To ultimate team. I mean I'm gonna tell EA I have screenshots even when I saw that I got on to this account My main account when I got on to the console and I saw that I had no coins I literally went to my companion app and I screen-shotted my coins total in the top section which You can see on this screenshot here shows two point one eight seven Very very close. Maybe it's easier to see this way two point one eight seven million That was literally the screenshot that I took Right away when I saw on the console that it was They had gone away So I know how many coins that I should have back and that they took away But I don't have a reason I need to know the reason why did this happen? I just want to have a conversation with somebody at EA and I'll be civil I'll be civil more civil than I was in this video I mean, I'm a pretty civil guy and I'm pretty chill and down the earth, but this is like This is a problem. It's been happening all year long and I know that's impacted so many people And it's something that EA needs to address and needs to fix. So hopefully I get my coins back Yeah, guys, we'll just go step-from-step from here on out and I don't even know man Yeah, crazy doesn't make me want to spend FC points in this game. No, not at all. That is for a dang sure Not at all. Do I want to do that right now? But also I'm not an enemy of EA at the same time. I don't look at myself in that way as well I'm a part of the EA creator network EA has partnered with me because they Think that I produce good enough content and they like being associated with me and they trust me in a sense So, yeah, man I don't know. It's just tough because I like being involved with EA because I like to play by the rules That's just who I am as a person. I'm not somebody who is a rule breaker Do I agree with do I have to agree with everything that they do because I'm in the EA creator network? Absolutely not and I don't obviously with some of the sentiments that I share today You can tell that I don't So this is really coming from a genuine feeling place for me where I am telling you guys how I feel right now About this whole situation and that's I'm making this video once again to tell you guys how to stay clear of this stuff and Not get yourself in the same situation that I am in so that's gonna be the video for today guys I'll keep you guys updated for the daily videos and on streams. We'll talk about this more today on twitch that link is down below in the description if you want to check us out there and Yeah, I will go forward with half the coins that I have and hopefully I'll get some communication from EA on why This has happened, but thanks for watching guys. I love you dudes appreciate the support as always peace out
