Players purposedly wasting time
Hello, recently I've started getting back to UT on EAFC25 after a long pause and I've noticed a lot of time wasting going on with no repercussions for the players doing it.
While if I just left the controller alone, I would be the one to get a warning.
This obviously happens when you are already losing, especially at half time. Then it's just the second half of the other player doing tricks and passing to the GK.
Are you (EA) implementing anything to mitigate this? On the last 10 matches I've made, in at least 5 of them the other players (when winning) where just wasting time. On 3 matches it was the entire 2nd half looking at my screen and getting a warning because I'm not moving.
If not for EAFC 25 then at least implement it on EAFC 26.
Ideas I could just brainstorm to help fight it would:
- AI that understands if the user is wasting time by tracking their passes (from > to) and how much time they have the ball. Learn and understand if the player is being defensive or wasting time. AI is very good at pattern recognition, so with each game being done the AI would get better.
- Make the other team players more agressive with better stats so that its easier to take and hold the ball. Probably with a pressure timer.
- Ref AI can understand how much possession a player had on that half, and add extra time compared to the time wasted.
- User report for actually useless things (instead of offensive club names lmao) and maybe a verified system through real person.
