Hi EA, There is a serious problem with AFK players in RUSH who are clearly there to collect the points for the rewards. This is ruining the game experience for others who want to play. It is impossible to play 2 v 4 with your two team mates spinning round in circles in the opposition's half. Not only do they do nothing, they can be offside if the ball goes forward. If you can detect and kick people for non activity then this needs to be in RUSH asap or you need to give the option for vote to kick AFK players - I get that people rubber banding might bypass the system but surely someone can code for repetitive movement too?? It's utterly ruining the whole point of RUSH which should be an exciting new mode.

Do something against those that join rush matches and lock their controller and don't play ( AFK ) ! They destroy other players matches ! If is not right ! EA do SOMETHING and implement something to kick them more faster out from the match or give them temporally ban. Yesterday i played over 30 matches and in more than 15 were at least 1 afk player. It is easy to solve. Put a rule like,you need to give at least 10 passes and have 5 shots so you can receive the xp after the match. Almost all of them are afk from the begin after the referee wistle.It is hard to win a match when a player is afk. Forum admin please redirect my thread to the staff team that is responsable for the pro club ( rush ) section.

It's a joke no way to report them every other game has at least 1afk player should be a way to vote to kick

Should be the best, unfortunately ea have allowed it to be as toxic as every other mode. The fact they can’t even programme it to collect the right assists if use a rush player in the mode. The response from the mod seemed like a generic copy and paste customer service attempt. I can’t see them changing it as deep down it won’t affect their revenue stream

Rush is a great mode, I really enjoy it and doing evos in it. However, the AFK players are really ruining it. I reported a few players as cheaters and for unsportsman like conduct on xbox, but I dont think anything will be done. It really hurts the game because sometimes that person not playing keeps the other team always onside. It also is starting to get more frequent. Almost every other game there is at least one player not playing on one of the teams. maybe the answer is if a player has not taken a certain action like pass, tackle, or shoot with the ball within 20 or 30 seconds they get booted.

I've played two matches so far today and both times I've been put in 2vs4 matches because of people going AFK, I can't even start completing the evo because I need to win one match with my CB, but there's too many people just downing their pad

This is one of the most frustrating issues with fifa.. Its the only game mode I really enjoy and its almost impossible to get a game without some-one being AFK. I've even played ones where once you are up by a few goals people just go AFK hoping that is enough.
I've got my own solution.. block them.. My block list on Fifa is gigantic now as anyone I go into a game with that goes AFK for the whole game is added so I don't have to play with them again hopefully.

It's simple. If they don't press the pass button or tackle button in a minute they get kicked and temp banned for 10 minutes.

A minute is to long to wait. It should be like 20 seconds. if you dont press tackle, pass, or shoot you get booted.

@RRRovers People will just tap the button while watching tv or something. It won’t stop it.

It won't stop it entirely but it will reduce it, which is better than the current situation.

Solution is easy, make a report button and system that registers one's gameplay in rush . report for afk or griefing(ive had people run into our own goal) and temporarily ban those accounts from rush, after repeated penalties make those bans longer and in the end just permanent ban from rush. Got to teach those people a lesson , its their choice either play normally and have fun, or destroy the gameplay for others and pay the price.

@EA_cuervo You should add reporting system similar to that from Rocket League. People would report AFK player, then someone from EA would take a look at this report and decide whether to punish the player or not.
Also leaving early during the match is also a problem. I know that you get less coins from the matches if you do this often, but if someone's is spending a real money, he is not punished.
For example If 500 points pack costs 5 dollars, player who constantly ruins other people's experience, should get only 400 points for that 5 dollars.

Worse is... you can only report for offensive language - not for AFK-behavior.
This should be changed, and something should be done about it.
For now...
- Report them on PSN (if you are on it)
- Report them on Xbox (if you are on it)
- Block them on EA
...aaand keep this thread active.
