EA Please Turn on Bot Detection in the WebApp

AngryHawk

I'm usually fairly decent and snagging a player I want in time, but today's release was impossible. Reading through various discords and other FIFA boards everyone is using bots again because there hasn't been any prevents like in previous year.

If anyone of you are tired of it, I posted a thread about it on EA Answers (Development Forum). They don't check the forums here, so if any of you are tired of bots / autobuyers please like the thread.

This needs to be re-visited, I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to grab one of the new players with absolutely zero success. In the past this was never a problem, sometimes it might take a minute or two to grab one, but the past 2 weeks I haven't been able to grab one new player that was priced below the normal BIN rate. They're bought and reposted within seconds

Just bid look for a higher priced item.

You're not always going to get new cards at the cheapest price.

People only buy cheap to flip for profit so they don't have to pay for fifa points.

Bots have been major part of the market since web app became a thing. They never bothered stopping them and I doubt they ever will.

I completely understand you can’t always snipe a great player at a discounted price. However, there’s zero bot detection right now. In past years I usually get the captcha thing once a or twice a day (sometimes more). So far in ‘23 I haven’t gotten promoted once. Which means all the auto buyers aren’t being prompted either

I've got it numerous times on console...

I’ve got a couple times on Mobile but never the web app. There’s numerous chrome extensions that assist in Auto Buying. This needs to be addressed
