My 7 day ban continues but at least I know why...EA told me there is 8 days in a week!
However, I wanted to share my tale of hilarity with you.
A member of EA staff, after two hours on hold, has just informed me that the reason my accoint remains banned is because it was banned for a week, and there is 8 days in a week. Not 7. He just argued with me on the phone that a week contains 8 days. Even though it's now day 9 of the ban.
Honestly, I have never heard anything like it in my life. 8 days in a week!!
I wonder what the excuse will be tomorrow when I'm still banned.

Exactly!! I actually couldn't believe what I was hearing then when I tried to correct him he started shouting at me to count Tuesday to Tuesday on my fingers. Was in complete disbelief. I'm actually on hold again to see if the guy was insane or if there really is 8 days in a week in EA land. Even though the email states 7 days...
Idk mate I tried counting on my fingers like he said and counted 8

EA does not scan any memory, processes or in-game files on your PC.
That is also the reason why they can´t get rid of the amount of cheaters on the PC section.
You have either been reported, or you were stupid enough to cheat in futchamps were every result is reviewed.
The shame here is that its only a temporary ban when it should be perm.
thats bs.
most games do scan ur pc.
there are known issues of ppl getting hackshield bans just by having cheat engine installed for example.
not sure about fifa, too lazy to read the eula, but i know for sure that blizzard games scan ur pc.

Canadian weeks are 8 days long (Monday, Tuesday, Canadian Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday). EA develops fifa in Canada. There's your answer.

Happy to post my fut champs past results Mr Judgemental. Must have been reported for no good reason, because I finish G1 every week and I don't see the need to cheat. I'm not a 12 year old kid.
Your futchamp results doesnt mean a thing and might be the very thing that got you banned.
First you said you got banned because EA somehow detected a background code of a program you are developing. When in fact Origin runs no back-ground anti-cheat for Fifa.
Now you are saying people mindlessly reported you for no reason.

This aint most games. This is Fifa on PC. There is no anti-cheat running from origin in the background.
Like at least make an effort to google it or something before you say its bs.
The cheats are based of Cheat-engine anyway. Altering the in-game memory.
Those people that get banned have either cheated in Futchamps or been reported.
Annother annoying fact is that there is no automated way to report these idiots. You have to wait to for the game to end in order to get there origin ID and then report them by making a ticket.
If you google for hacks/trainers , go to one of their forum and you will see that people have used Legacy Defending, timed finish hack, statboosts since beginning without being banned.
You would think that they would be detected by now, but nah. You have to be stupid enough to cheat in futchamps or **** enough people off so they bother going through a process just to report you.

Tell me about it. I got banned for 5 weeks last year for packing and selling prime ballack for max price range in week 2 of the release.
However, the joke here is that an advisor told me there is 8 days in a week and thats why I'm still banned. Its day 9 now!!
