Today, EA confirmed they had identified over 30,000 active accounts which exploited this glitch “consistently” and has now suspended them from FC 22 online for a period of seven days. This does mean that affected players won’t be able to join in with this weekend’s FUT Champions Finals – the hardcore Weekend League.
“We have identified over 30K active accounts that exploited this issue consistently,” they said. “[We] have suspended them from FC 22 online for 7 days, preventing them from participating in this week’s FUT Champions Finals.”

Although these players will miss an important weekend, other FC players think these measures don’t go far enough, given that players will get to keep the rewards they gained from exploiting this glitch.
“These cheaters also crashed the entire market… except for icons and top tier cards, because they bought them with all their rewards,” said reddit user, GrizzlyAdams12. “This ban is a slap on the wrist and doesn’t do nearly enough to compensate everyone else who’ve lost coins due to the crash.”
During its statement, EA pointed players towards its Positive Play Charter – a set of guidelines for players of EA games to maintain a positive online experience.
