So if I haven't played any RTTS and no MTO and only DD and I haven't bought any stubs. Then how am I getting a ban?
Did u pay mini series and quit out of games?
I did just like I did tons of times last year. I restarted like 2 seasons without starting any game and then in my current season probably skipped 2 games
Yeah that might be it man. People have been using miniseasones to XP up by skipping games.
Could Be. I just don't see why that matters. If I play the game and lose no sweat. If I skip the game and lose then I'm cheating. Plus if I played the game I would be gaining XP. So by skipping im losing out on xp. I don't know. Seems like if I want to t skip a game and lose and not get XP then that's my prerogative. Not @'ing you just talking out loud

No one is getting banned for quitting mini seasons games. Let's get that out of our heads

I'm feeling like there's something missing from your story!!!
like what
Like what actually got you banned!
If you are trying to sell me and everyone else on that selling Ohtani got you banned for market manipulation, I would wave the
flag on that!There was 200 LS Ohtani cards sold on the market between 7:13AM to 7:01PM (PDT) and who knows how many since the start of this game, but some how we are supposed to believe you got banned solely for selling this same exact card?
C'mon man!!! You know darn well that you aren't telling us what you really did to get banned!
i didn’t do anything! you think you know everything, but i literally didn’t do anything. ridiculous you’re accusing me of doing something ( i don’t even know what could’ve gotten me banned). think what you want but if the community is like this then i’ll just put the game down bc i just came here for some help and i’m getting accused of a banned label offense
HAHA! Because I know you aren't telling the whole story doesn't make me think I know everything. I know I don't everything. I know that I don't know what you did to get banned, but I do know that it wasn't for selling LS Ohtani on the market!
it definitely was, i went from 75k, to nothing, up to 150k, back down to like 10k, and they probably thought i bought stubs. quit acting smart, i did nothing to get banned, just shut up if u aren’t tryna be a good person u just start problems in all of ur postsAwwww, poor baby, sounds like someone got banned and had to jump onto a second account! Maybe one day you will learn to be a good person!
Grow up man, you don't know what this guy did or didn't do. What if you didn't do anything that you knew was against TOS and got banned? SDS read these forums , man .
HAHAHA!!! You got banned!!!! You know why got banned? Of course, circumventing a ban by creating another account would be another violation of TOS! But, hey, one day when you grown up, you will learn how to be a good person!
And now everyone sees what you are. Congrats
Everybody now sees that you were banned! You probably shouldn't be here as that is usually what SDS is saying when they banned you!
Dude read the thread. I'm not the OP. I wasn't banned. Reading comprehension, dude. You can sit here and spend your life on a web forum. I'm done wasting anymore time on you.
lol your back and forth with that guy was incredible - he thought it was you the whole time

Nobody here is going to be able to give you a definitive answer. Your best bet is to contact SDS by using the Support link in the upper right of this forum, use the option for an account issue and ask for a specific reason as you don't feel you did anything against the terms.
Ask politely and nicely because I can say as a person who worked in IT tech support for decades that I was always more likely to try a little harder when people were nice.
Not necessarily. I have had experiences with SDS when I have asked for an explanation and never got one. They do not have the best Customer Service in my opinion and from my experience.
Well, I never said being nice and polite was a way to guarantee an answer, just that it might improve the odds of getting an answer.

what a spicy thread today gents - real spicy stuff

So just got info back from SDS. I have a 90 day ban for win trading/ Account Sharing in BR mode. Haven’t played that mode at all or asked anyone to play that mode for me. Guess I should drop
It or reach out again? -

Right? Some people just don't read....it is selective reading ...they see what they want and think that they can post anything because they are sitting behind a keyboard. It took like 2 posts to realize he thought I was the OP for some reason. I just dislike when people come here with judgement like that. People here shouldn't get salty about other people spending money on the game, asking for help , immediately assuming that someone who got banned did something intentionally bad, etc....Would be nice if the community actually acted like a community together.
But yeah it was funny once I realized what that dude (kid?) thought.....

I wouldn't be so sure. After that YouTuber posted a thing about it, a lot of guys started doing it and then one guy came here and started posting about it. SDS does read these forums.
IMO it should not be a TOS violation but they may look at it as a way to get around the 28 games in order to get XP quicker.
Another thing is that a lot of these guys who were banned had that in common...
Unless you have insider info from SDS about these bans? You seem so sure about this.

I just posted this in my own thread, but wanted to share here as it seems like this is the place to be!
So how many times do we hear this from users? Getting suspended for something they didn't do. I was playing a game Monday night and got kicked. I thought the servers went down and didn't see anyone else complaining and I checked later and it said I was suspended for 2 days for cheating. I placed a ticket. I then went back on yesterday morning before work and it said suspended for 90 days. I got this from support last night.
**Thanks for reaching out, unfortunately, your account has been suspended for Win Trading/Account Sharing in the Battle Royale game mode.

The Show Support**Well the only problem is that I have yet to play online in 2023 and only have grinded offline. How can my account get suspended for something I have literally not done. I know this will not be resolved because there is probably no "Manny" and this is a bot. I do not think anything will come of my ticket. At least when I checked this morning it was down to 89 days, so at least there is a glimmer of hope.

we used to have a huge group that has dissipated over the years due to SDS blunders and forum stuff - in the heyday there was (and still is) Raes, Miju, Skepple, hobo, mitch - these guys in our crew were top 50 in the world many times over the years in events and ranked - i only think a handful are still playing today

This is making me super nervous. Clearly something is wrong, and people are getting banned as a mistake. It's easy to say "90 days isn't that much time and easy to get over"... but let's be honest. A decent size of the population will be done playing by then, and this iteration of the game is ruined for you; maybe even the franchise as a whole.
Are we supposed to play this game scared right now? With fear that if we do anything we might get banned? Maybe they're trying to do better with cheating, and that could be a good thing, but as people already mentioned - "innocent until proven guilty". Last year I sent a message to sony and SDS after an opponent literally told me they were going to initiate a freeze-off, did so successfully, and bragged about it, and nothing ever happened. My point: if you're going to try to be more strict, you have to do your due diligence: actually look into the issues, and make judgement calls. If someone is getting banned for something in a game mode that they HAVE NOT PLAYED, un-ban them and apologize.
Specifically on mini-seasons... clearly quitting out of games is triggering something, and that's annoying. I understand not wanting people to find shortcuts, but just like in real life sports, if you win a lot of games and don't need to win any more to get into the playoffs, you will rest players and not necessarily try as hard to win. Nobody wanted to see Curtis Painter start a game, but people paid actual money to go to the stadium and watch the Jets sneak into the playoffs because the Colts already clinched.
(Also, before you make bans happen, maybe make people aware that it will get them banned?)

People here shouldn't get salty about other people spending money on the game, asking for help , immediately assuming that someone who got banned did something intentionally bad, etc....Would be nice if the community actually acted like a community together.
But yeah it was funny once I realized what that dude (kid?) thought.....
buddy just block that guy he is absolutely brutal - also you have the wonderful ability to cherry pick who you like to speak with on this forum - i have blocked at least 50-100 over the years - there are plenty of great guys in here who are also very helpful in game (or so i like to think)
Oh I did. I didn't sweat him....I know a lot of guys here that I also chat with on Madden forums, etc. A bunch of great guys. Some of them are legendary at this game as well....and a lot are helpful. I hear you. Thanks man.
we used to have a huge group that has dissipated over the years due to SDS blunders and forum stuff - in the heyday there was (and still is) Raes, Miju, Skepple, hobo, mitch - these guys in our crew were top 50 in the world many times over the years in events and ranked - i only think a handful are still playing today
I chat with College Lefty still. I used to run with top 50 guys in Madden a lot. Some are here as well....but yeah, I am getting to be an old man now so I look at things with a different perspective...I am a 55 yr old gamer so I have seen all the evolution of these games....got my first PS just so I could play The Show before it ported to the other platforms and been playing Madden since 1988.

This is making me super nervous. Clearly something is wrong, and people are getting banned as a mistake. It's easy to say "90 days isn't that much time and easy to get over"... but let's be honest. A decent size of the population will be done playing by then, and this iteration of the game is ruined for you; maybe even the franchise as a whole.
Are we supposed to play this game scared right now? With fear that if we do anything we might get banned? Maybe they're trying to do better with cheating, and that could be a good thing, but as people already mentioned - "innocent until proven guilty". Last year I sent a message to sony and SDS after an opponent literally told me they were going to initiate a freeze-off, did so successfully, and bragged about it, and nothing ever happened. My point: if you're going to try to be more strict, you have to do your due diligence: actually look into the issues, and make judgement calls. If someone is getting banned for something in a game mode that they HAVE NOT PLAYED, un-ban them and apologize.
Specifically on mini-seasons... clearly quitting out of games is triggering something, and that's annoying. I understand not wanting people to find shortcuts, but just like in real life sports, if you win a lot of games and don't need to win any more to get into the playoffs, you will rest players and not necessarily try as hard to win. Nobody wanted to see Curtis Painter start a game, but people paid actual money to go to the stadium and watch the Jets sneak into the playoffs because the Colts already clinched.
(Also, before you make bans happen, maybe make people aware that it will get them banned?)
Dude, I have won like 18 mini seasons games and wanted to at least quit a couple not even for the rewards but because I am excited to get to the playoffs but I wont because I am concerned as well. I never did anything against the code or TOS, etc but yeah, what if there is some sort of bot/trigger that is not working properly and is imposing auto-bans for peopple not doing anything against the code of conduct

No one is getting banned for quitting mini seasons games. Let's get that out of our heads
I wouldn't be so sure. After that YouTuber posted a thing about it, a lot of guys started doing it and then one guy came here and started posting about it. SDS does read these forums.
IMO it should not be a TOS violation but they may look at it as a way to get around the 28 games in order to get XP quicker.
Another thing is that a lot of these guys who were banned had that in common...
Unless you have insider info from SDS about these bans? You seem so sure about this.
No insider info, just been around a long time. Quitting mini seasons games was a thing last year too. No bans happened. To my knowledge no bans ever have happened from the ridiculous XP exploits if MLB 19-21 either and those were far worse exploits. 99% of bans are either from stub transferring or SDS screw ups. In this situation its the latter
Also, if quitting mini seasons games caused the issue then every player that did so would have caught a ban. Something else is triggering these

I don't understand why they do not do warnings. I bought coins from a 3rd party in Madden a few times years ago and I was warned. Didn't do it again and no issues. I understand they want a clean community but if they keep it up at this rate the whole community will be banned.

don't spam - email SDS - we can do 0 to help you on the ban issue
I would think their social media team would be looking at all discussions regardless of platform to get feedback. I mean this is the show's site and not a 3rd party site. I apologize for spamming but I think it shows I am not the only person in this boat.

So just got info back from SDS. I have a 90 day ban for win trading/ Account Sharing in BR mode. Haven’t played that mode at all or asked anyone to play that mode for me. Guess I should drop
It or reach out again?I feel like their emails are nothing more than bots. I am going to keep to reaching out in the hopes I am wrong, but I don't know if it will help. Good luck.
