Champions Finals & Rivals - Inconsistent Quit Win/Loss Methodology

I was playing Champions Finals and my opponent quit while we were drawing 0-0 and I wasn't granted a win. So, as a test to see if my suspicions were correct (spoiler: they were, as goes without saying with this game) I quit my following Champions Finals game while I was drawing 0-0 and guess what? It granted me a loss! As it RIGHTLY should.

However, in this case, I should be granted wins when my opponent quits while drawing as that would be the ONLY fair and consistent approach. Granted, when my opponent quit it didn't count as a game so I had another opportunity.

That said, it is not just that I was playing someone who, seemingly, didn't feel up for playing against me, perhaps suggesting I was in with a better chance of winning than they were, only then to pair me up with someone better than me and cause me to lose a game I otherwise would have won.

I don't mind losing, I lose all the time, but punishing players when their opponents quit is not honourable or fair. The game is unduly stressful enough when being paired up against teams full of the same ridiculous icons and TOTYs who are rated far better than any team I could ever wish to afford, so at least make the approach to quitting games consistent and fair.

  • This also applies to Rivals. I was just drawing 5-5 and through on goal in the last minute, so they force quit their game, causing it to lose connection, though rather than RIGHTLY giving me the win it simply didn't count the game. Fix your utterly and shamelessly embarrassing excuse of a video game.

    I believe EA made limits on when it will count as a win if the opponent quits when tied.  It must be in the second half and they must select forfeit from the menu screen.  if the other player just dashboards it to quit game then you will not get the win.  Thus, basically EA really did not change anything because most people quit this way.

    That's nonsensical and unfair. If most people quit that way then that needs to be addressed.

  • How do I share videos? I've just captured, on video, an example of this happening. Please advise ASAP and advise how I can escalate my many issues formally. I'm getting nowhere on these forums. Or is it that I can't share videos by design, so I can't demonstrate on here the utter sham that is this video game? That is likely it. I've never seen a developer actively work against their players, it's quite something.

  • They posted why it’s that way in the last update. They said they will be monitoring if people abuse the system or not. Depending on that they will change how it works. Might be why they were monitoring matchmaking a couple days ago but who knows till they release more info.
