Fair enough

I take it you you are saying 100% of the bans are justified.

I'm confused as to why what I said was funny.

100% of the bans from those that exploited this 30+ times are justified yes. No where did I say that everyone that got banned deserved it because that's impossible for me to justify.

But those that did it 30+ times was no accident.

I'm pretty sure that CardinalBird wasn't even banned.

I can kind of understand lumping everyone together because that can be so easy to do, but at the same time that mindset is still mind-boggling.

I didn't get caught doing anything because I never once knowingly did anything. I know that means absolutely nothing, but anyone who knows me can vouch for my character and integrity. Seeing so many people blindly make blanket statements about everyone caught is difficult.

As a long time roster creator (going back to the early Triple Play days, the somewhat early Madden days and the early NCAA Football days), even though I no longer post like I used to, why would I be coming here to draw attention to myself? I know there are a lot of answers to that though.

Seeing some people who I thought I was cool with and who I thought respected me lump everyone together and to accuse them of knowingly cheating is a little hurtful. If that sounds weird to some them that is what that is. I try not be be prideful, but I do take my character/integrity (even honor) seriously. I don't even really see anyone here anymore that I actually know pretty well or even really well, but that's besides the point though.

The fact that I have been banned is actually kind of a good thing for me because I was spending way too much time trying to build my team by buying and selling.

If I accidentally did whatever that's showing I did then I don't see how the amounts were anything that I should have noticed except for in the case of one time where I was thinking I had like 45,000 stubs and then logged on and saw that I had like 70 or 75,000 stubs. I didn't think anything of that because I hadn't been online in a while (from what I can remember) and I just thought I remembered that incorrectly because I literally place and cancel probably 40 or 50 bids at a minimum a day. Sometimes, I could see that amount being in the hundreds. With me almost always having somewhere in the range of 40 or 50,000 stubs to around 90,000 (sometimes in the 100,000 range) seeing numbers in that range for my total is typical.

As for bid totals, I will literally sit there for like 15 or 20 minutes sometimes in a bidding war with someone to try to get cards with large large price gaps as cheap as I can. There are some days where I can do that a few times. That's besides all of the other cards that I place bids on and then cancel.

Besides all of the bids that I place and then cancel in trying to flip cards, I'm really stingy with my stubbs, so I'll commonly cancel a page of orders for 2-6 tokens if I'm outbid by a single dollar because I don't want to wait for that one card to sell before people can begin quick selling that card/player to me.

For the record, those players are for feeding my created character and not for hoarding them to resell. I only hoard like 4 or 5 players (Saunders, Duvall, Neris, Polanco, Desmond and maybe a couple of others). When Polanco and Desmond went to around 1,000, I began selling them.

I wasn't lol'ing at what you said. I was lol'ing at me agreeing with you.

Now see, this is Sony's whole problem. We know MOST people got what they deserved.
But since they don't know who deserved it, the right thing to do was to fix it so it can no longer be done. The right thing to do is fire the people that keep putting stuff in the Show that doesn't work. The right the to do is not wrongly banning some people so that you are sure you are banning SOME of the correct offenders. If this were a bank robbery, & Sony were the police, there way of handling it would be to arrest the robbers and anyone else that happened to be in the bank at the same time. I think me & you are finally on the same page of agreement that there are a few bans that are impossible to justify. Yet Sony decided to ban them anyway, for their incompetence. And that is a sad day for the Show.

Reading this thread is like reading a press release from a player that gets popped for PEDs. "I didn't knowingly do anything wrong."

The people who did something wrong need to take responsibility and accept their penalty.

I'm not going to sit back quietly for something that I wasn't aware of doing.

Edit: To clarify and for the record, I have emailed SCEA and messaged people at SCEA.

Then don't sit back. Say whatever you want. But don't act surprised when I don't believe that. Don't act surprised when people are cynical

I'm not really surprised, though. Edit: Well, I guess I am at some people. I'm more disappointed (overall) than anything I guess.
