Bot teams

I’ve suspected for quite a while that a lot of teams I’ve played against in Ultimate Team mode were bots, but never had concrete evidence. Well, now I finally know it’s true. 

I was half way through a Golazo Extravaganza Cup game this evening, I needed to deal with a family issue, so quickly put my console in sleep mode. I came back a few hours later, fired up the Xbox and for some reason the game I had been playing was paused  at the 68th minute. I resumed the game, expecting a dialogue box telling me I’d lost my network connection and that I’d be returned to the main menu. To my absolute amazement the game continued. Not only that, but the opponent burst into life and continued the game, too. 

I don’t know how widespread this practice is. However, I really do feel like a lot of the teams I’ve played against might well have been bots too. TBH, it makes a lot of sense: make you play against really difficult opponents (bots) so that you spend money on packs to improve your team. It would explain why pretty much every team you play against is full of prime icon cards. 


Shame on EA

    This is not just theory this is absolutely true. I remember in FIFA 23 when I played after 11 pm I had to wait about half an hour for opponent but I didn't care. Was it my decision to play at nighttime and was it great, cause I played Vs real player. But now ? It doesn't matter what time is it I don't even have to wait 30 second for "opponent"- bots of course. Sometimes I'm winning 21-0 sometimes I'm loosing but it doesn't make any sense to play against AI. Look I have many screenshots, pictures etc to prove it that what most of player's already know- EA using bots  I was chatting with 4 different EA employees but no one care at all no one helped me.

    Should be really easy to check this. I assume EA is storing game data off users. Just check these logs and you can easily see the start and end time stamps of events. I'm quite sure that you have this data. You should have this data. A simple select query should be enough.

  • It's no conspiracy I have the same issue. Passes are way off. My players are so slow. Opportunities happen out of nowhere for opposing team. I've had control of matches 2-0 and by the end of it I'm 5-2 happens way to often. Not claiming I'm the best player but it is definitely very suspect. You can tell the difference between a real non cheating player from whatever the hell is going on here

  • 110% not a conspiracy theory. You should request my logs from EA. I’d be more than happy for you to post them in this thread for everyone to see. 


    Furthermore, perhaps you could have offered a credible explanation of why, when I’d left my console in sleep mode for an hour or two, I was able wake my system and continue my game with a responsive opponent, in what was meant to be a live game? Offering support would have been far more useful than trying to brand me a conspiracy theorist.  

    TBH, I’m quite saddened that you have accused me of being a liar: very lazy. Especially when it’s clear that you haven’t conducted any investigation whatsoever. I think you’ve let yourself down.
