Did they say how long the ban was or what the stipulations were? They're banning everybody this year, I see you're upfront about buying coins and personally I don't see why they have a problem with that. I was banned over a month ago for simply being smart on the auction house using the Companion App. No coins bought no weird trades, everything legit. Banned with no answers given as to why. Learned a valuable lesson: F&3K EA SPORTS. Go refund all of your Madden/EA purchases my man, worked for me. Including the MVP Edition of the game. Played since I was 5 years old, never again will Madden get any more of my $$$.

There is likely something to this. EA has a massive gap in communication between these teams somewhere in their layout. Support has zero tools to provide support for this errant banning.

Man thank you for that thoughtful response. I am hopeful someday there will be competition amongst NFL video games again. My biggest struggle through all of this is the inability of ANY available support staff or their management to take any corrective action whatsoever. We have to wait on this mysterious non English speaking Terms of Service Team, which they advise can take 30 days. So I'm now in the same boat as you, I refuse to do business with incompetence.

Thanks man!

I can tell by the way you write as to why you've been banned. You're smart, and EA doesn't appreciate it! I suspect you figured out, like I have, how to use idle time to make a few coins on the auction house on your phone. My ban stated I was a cheat and I was permanently banned from auction house activity and ALL coins were confiscated. Even with that said, I had no access to the ge at all, including Franchise mode. I received a refund for all EA related charges from my bank.

You are absolutely correct, and unfortunately I learned too late. They should delete the app altogether if they don't like people finding value in the auction house with it. I used their tools, basic math, and my own two fat thumbs, to basically hang myself. I'm about to dig out the Dreamcast, and play whichever football game had Barry Sanders as a free agent still in the early 2000's. Toss him on my Chiefs, create Mahomes, and build a MF'n dynasty!

It's all good man, I'm leery of complaints as well. But this one today just blew my mind and I had to share to the folks who love this game the most. MUTHEAD! No apology necessary.

When I finally received the email it said I was permanently banned from the auction house and ALL of my coins were confiscated. Still have the email! If that's the case how can I play?

Well their automation sucks if my human fingers are able to get a handful of these low priced cards per hour. It would be so easy for them to implement a delay into market postings, or put tighter input controls on auction prices. I would prefer they not do either of those things, but I'd prefer that to losing my account.

It's all good. EA's own message to me said nothing about coin transfers, they said I used bots to purchase and sell cards. Which I definitely did not.
