On the one hand, it's easy to Mut 21 coins write this off for anybody without skin in the sport. If someone's already spending tens of thousands of dollars launching packs, why should not they go straight to the source and get the players they need? However, for the players that are busy in Ultimate Team, it seems like a betrayal. Since Nick put it,"So we grind/trade/open packs and can not touch these PIM players, but EA workers sell them to individuals covertly for $1,700?!?!" It creates an even wider gap between the haves and have-nots from the sport, without even the veneer of gamers earning high-rated players through skill.
EA acknowledged this in their reaction to the allegations. They said that accounts were used to"inappropriately" give players access to highly rated cards they had not earned through gameplay, opening packs, or other authorized means (i.e., watching Twitch streams). They blamed it on either compromised accounts or EA workers going into business for themselves. EA announced an investigation into the misconduct, promising to take action against some other players and employees caught participate in the supreme Team black sector. Though they did not define what action could be taken against workers involved in the scandal, players will be prohibited indefinitely.
The offending players will not have much of a leg to stand on when they are banned. Beyond exactly what it does into the game's integrity, it's a breach of EA's User Agreement. The banned players will join an exclusive club that no player would wish to madden 21 coins xbox one be a part of. This includes a YouTuber that was prohibited from all of EA's games along with an Irish teenager who insulted legendary player Ian Wright with racial slurs on Instagram.
