Showdown Win Showing Up as Forfeit/Loss
Product: NBA Live Mobile
Platform:Android Phone
Summarize your bug It used to be that if you closed your game during a Showdown match, you forfeited the match. With the recent update, now when this happens you can resume the match. This is a terrible idea!! As you might expect, people are using this to cheat; they pause and force-close the app before their opponent scores, then resume the game. I have to ask, why would EA do this? We already went through this in Season 1, and it was awful. The change was implemented to auto-forfeit when you close the app during a match to PREVENT such cheating (sometime around December 2016). EA has essentially rolled back this update to the detriment of the game. PLEASE fix this before it's too late and Showdown is ruined!
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play Showdown and force close the app, restart and resume your game.
What happens when the bug occurs? You can stop the game whenever you want, then resume the match on an inbound play with the score preserved. If you're a higher OVR than your opponent you'll even get possession of the ball. How convenient!
What do you expect to see? Go back to the old method where closing the app results in a forfeit. It's unfortunate that you lose a couple of matches due to network failures, but it's far better than propagating a rise in cheating, right?
