What will you do about cheaters?

Question

Hi EA Employees,This is a problem for everyone on the game. Servers, Gameplay and Cheaters. This post highlights cheaters and a specific case from today.So we all know that there are a bunch of cheaters on this game, on pc and playstation (I suspect Xbox too but I haven't seen much evidence).&nbsp;They tend to play a match score a goal and then quit the game.&nbsp;I just played someone who did that.The first signs were his username being a serial number, or a number, these bots often have similar IDs. Go look at Rivals Top 200 leaderboard and you will see similar names in half of the slots.&nbsp;So I feel its only fair for us to say their usernames for you to ban. You do not have protocols in place, simple protocols like other games.ea4c009b80_ _ _ _ _ _That doesn't seem like a normal username to me especially on Origin or Steam (they were on PC -&nbsp; I left out the last 6 characters out because of forum rules). First Sign.2nd sign was that this guy was so bad, like unbelievably bad.&nbsp;3rd sign gameplay felt entirely different, then some broken collisions in the game caused him to counter (with pace) then glitch after glitch and ball glueing to his players feet and boom goal. Fair enough, I know the game is a little broken.4th sign he paused straight afterwards, making my suspicions more prevelent but we continued for another 2 in game minutes,5th sign we continued playing for said 2 mins because he probably wasn't sure how the cheat engine worked to enable a win for himself and then he paused again and quit.I don't care about glitches and whatnot but cheaters is definitely something we can't stand by. You are losing sales, losing players, I'm only playing this like 2 games a day already since this game is so bad.&nbsp;Gameplay and Server Issues on top of everything else is making this game worse and worse. The balance does seem off, the casual player can't do much without being forced to invest alot of time and money into the game. Good strategy for the suits, but remember its the casual players that produce your income, you are losing them all. Should've done what Football Manager is doing and delayed to ensure a good game can come across. If I wanted to play Pinball, over the top simulator I would've chosen a more suitable game, although this may be the best Pinball simulator out there.

They literally won't do anything, in the last 3 WLs I've met exactly 16 cheaters, so a 35% chance of meeting a cheater, I tried to report to spam during the game but literally nothing happened, this year they also implemented an ''anti alt-tab'' system where in the past years they were kicked from the game and now not even that, we will get to a point in the game, or at least I'm talking about my case that I only have one PC and I play from that, where too many people will abandon the game because of this shameful situation, and that 35% mentioned before will slowly rise to 50, 60, 70, until they completely exhaust the players who play fairly, it will be a race between who kicks the other first, but I repeat, they haven't done anything for years, but this year they are completely out of control.

I've stopped playing casually. I only go online for the evos and objectives to get packs which end up being worthless. But the time I invest in this game has substantially decreased this year. I haven't bothered with Champs at all. The cheaters have got me already so annoyed, and even the good players just play the same way with the same team, its very boring tbh and frustrating because you can't do anything about the gameplays broken mechanics. I'm in Div 4 and I wish I can get relegated to Div 8 or something, I can spend hours without a win due to cheaters or glitch abusers. I'm not going to spend time to get better because I have a life, and I have a rule where I don't play like a rat and abuse things like a snake. VVD hasn't touched my team in the past 2 games, by choice. I enjoy building squads and having fun with the game.

Everytime I play someone I also want to destroy my monitor or TV or controller. I used to blame my wifi (which the mods forced us to believe on here) or controller for the misplaced passes but then I watched a stream and noticed that even when the streamers controller was displaying he pushed to the correct direction but the pass went the opposite direction (note I looked at an unhighlighted incident within their gameplay).

I've bought 3 controllers as a result of the past 2 games due to things that were partially my fault but also alot stemmed from the game and the broken aspects. Last year the servers for Africa were down for 3 months and no one said anything. Matchmaking was matching us in whatever lobby it could and then constants DCs. Similar to what is happening with UK people now, but since we are in Africa they didn't care.

This company has proven its incompetence and congratulations to them for fooling us all for this edition. Its only a matter of time when something shinier and newer comes to the market and we all say good riddance to this franchise.
