Coin buying and selling has become a big business in FIFA Ultimate Team, with EA deciding to step in for FIFA 15 and take steps of action to eliminate the process within this gameplay mode.
With the new game set to hit the shelves on September 26th, EA will now be implementing a new system where people caught buying Ultimate Team coins will be sent a warning message within the game as well as to their email address. If these people choose to continue buying coins then EA’s next step will be to reset their club and remove all FIFA Points associated with that account. If this still does not deter people from buying FIFA Ultimate Team coins then this will therefore result in a permanent FIFA online ban. EA will also be clamping down even harder on those that sell coins within the game, with those caught doing so instantly receiving a permanent online ban from all EA games.
EA will also be cracking down on Youtubers promoting coin selling sites, with the same rules applying for those promoting the sites as to those buying the coins; get caught once and receive a warning, get caught twice and have your account reset, or get caught three times and you’ll be banned altogether from playing FIFA online.
The new rules will come in to effect with the release of FIFA 15.
