These people quit on draws constantly. It's a forfeit. And the person who plays fairly gets screwed. They'll quit when they get a red card. Quit if you equalize. Quit if they score jammy goal to equalize. Try to quit when they concede a spot kick.
This happens multiple times on a weekend as well and drags this miserable experience even longer. I can't even stomach playing rivals any more partially because of this & I've been playing FUT since Fifa 13.
It's immoral not to address this.
