Why aren't cheaters banned on consoles ?!

i played 5 games on console for the first time and I'm an old Apex PC player .. i saw out that the majority of players have super Aim not normal att all !

and when I searched on YouTube, I found scripts and mouse and keyboard players ! This is not Fair at all ( it's like normal human challenge in and fight Superman )

- The question is why aren't these cheaters banned

  • @MAPROo what makes you think they are not banned? Once the EAC detects them running anything illegal it posts a log (like email) to the company's person(s) in charge of reviewing the logs. So it might take a while before the ban happens.

    When it does, they sometimes come here to complain about being banned, and their excuses are varied. If you ever get banned by accident you just file a report with the proper channels, there is no need to post it here. Unless you work for EA games, which I do not, we have no idea how they enforce bans. They do ban players otherwise you would not see them here complaining.
  • Never seen a cheater on ps4, but that's cause I never touch ranked "the few times my friends asked me too, we were always in the baby bronze lobby. But that was the past."  On the pub side, I play on a server with mixed skill level "10k kill stats to 5 year olds who think pubs = firing range" but I never saw a true aimbot "but I've seen teaming, even watched my own teammates do it".

    Someone brought up in another thread that guns don't have much recoil, for high skill players it's true, seen a youtuber beam a guy long range with havoc while it still had it's recoil - no select fire and that was seasons, season 13 havoc is now just like flatline and r301 for casual longtimers like me.

    What @Xubunnytwo says is also true, but with how apex usually bans, it also isn't hard making an alt account to cheat again.

    @MAPROo So I guess you were really asking why Respawn is lazy ? Answer - it prob cost money "I can't how their isn't a program made where it can't register those controllers as valid, asking you connect another controller." but honestly it might be a playstation issue as whole instead of just apex.

    For a little more context - putting a ps3 disc in a ps4, the ps4 will tell you that the ps3 disc can't be played by the system "while telling you it's a ps3 disc, meaning the system can recognize it but won't let it play "
