Oh yeah it's definitely better to have something than nothing, I'm just saying cod is not a great example as even with an anti cheat hackers have run riot on there for years. They will need to figure out something, but my guess would be that they will eventually move to the battlefield style setup just like cod has now.
As for the glitches I still just think that EA needs to spend a bit of money and create a whole new engine. Make a game that will last a couple of years that they can just update as they go, in the meanwhile build a game on a whole new engine. The main reason I say this is because I don't remember the old fifa engine have this many glitches, not until they swapped to frostbite at least.
