Is it intended that H2H losses do not provide any XP anymore?

From my own experiences and others, it seems like losses in H2H matches don't provide any EXP rewards whatsoever anymore. Is this intentional, or a bug that should be reported? [EDIT: slightly mod...

@Drizzt9922 please do not bump your threads! it is against the forum rules. Unfortunately, I'm not able to answer your question myself. But if I had to guess, it might be the case because there had been a lot of reports from players in Madden 21 where bot accounts just ran the same plays in H2H all the time. Of course, they had been banned as soon as they had been identified (reported) but it decreased the fun for a lot of players if they faced a bot accounts. So, maybe this change has been implemented to avoid that some "players" exploit the fact that H2H losses got some rewards.

But as I said, that's just a guess.

If there is no bumping, what can I do to get an EA response? It's insane to me that no one is mentioning this fact and I can't even get a confirmation if it's intended or another of the plethora of issues that have come with this launch.

    @Drizzt9922 thank you for your understanding! the only thing I can do is to ask you to be patient a bit more, please! most of the community managers are off for the weekend and will be back tomorrow. Since the game has been released recently, they have a lot of posts to work through. that's most likely the main reason why none of them managed to come back to you on Friday. I hope you will receive an answer soon.

    good luck!

    Disappointed that I cannot get a simple yes/no confirmation if this is working as intended, or any sort of update on if this will stay the same or change in the future.

      This forum should be named "EA (Doesn't give) answers!"

      I though this was a reasonable request, calmly posed. Why are you punishing players who want to get better at your game?

        @Drizzt9922 I'm very sorry that you did not receive an official response yet. I'll have a look whether I could get in touch with a community manager to look at your post.

        regarding your assessment: from my perspective, I do not like this decision either (i.e. that there are no rewards anymore). I think it is a bad solution to tackle exploits and cheaters if all players are negatively affected. And yes, the H2H games I played so far are even shorter than last year (where only about 2-3 out of 10 games lasted longer than the 1st quarter)... ☹️

        Just one explanation that pops up my mind: at the moment, the community managers are quite busy because after the launch of the game there are a lot of pressing issues to be handled (i.e. technical issues and bugs that prohibit players from playing the game at all). Usually the community managers do all they can to answer questions and provide help here in the forums.
