Community ManagerDo not name any player you suspect may be cheating, this is called "Naming and Shaming" and is not allowed on Answers HQ.
If you suspect a player may be playing unfairly you can use the steps detailed at the following link to report them.

Thanks.
Apologies, I thought I had changed everything off the post to not name the users on this forum. (I will also submit a report).
There are a fair few PC players cheating on NFS. They're spoiling the game for legit players and to be blunt, EA aren't doing enough.
A way of reporting in-game would be useful.
It seems console players are the worst about cheating. Top speed, driving right through traffic as if were not even there. They like to use their speed hacks to run to the finish line as racers and crashbust you as cops. No skill to park next to a wrecked vehicle.
It's extremely difficult for console players to cheat. I've never come across a console player I've suspected of cheating.... just PC players and a lot of them. Infinite nos is the most common followed by infinite health and weapons. They should be ashamed of themselves, cheating to win.
As for parking next to wrecked vehicles to bust them. That isn't cheating, it's prpgrammed into the game. Moral of the story? Don't crash lol.
EA Barry-Any feedback on the OP's issue which is ruining the game? Or are you only policing the use of naming cheaters?
EA don't appear to care about cheating. I've sent several clips of someone blantantly cheating yet they're still playing the game every night.
Only thing you can do atm is run your own lobby and not start it when known cheats join and b) keep clipping and reporting them.
EA really need to sort it though.

Clearly EA are not interested in their player base, only in keeping the coffers ticking over.
I’ve witnessed this myself recently, 12 hours ago I was the only PC player in my session, and an XB player won EVERY race and made EVERY bust within 2 minutes of the start, across several races.
What is EA doing about it?
What is EA.doing about it? Nothing, that's what.
And I bet if I posted links to footage of players cheating and posted their names on this thread, I'd be the one getting banned.
Don't worry EA, we hear you loud and clear. It's ok to cheat on your games.
@EA_BarryWhen are EA going to do something about Mad_Carl8. I know I'm not supposed to "name and shame" but everyone already knows he's hacked this game to bits and goes around cheating very night, completely spoiling the game for legit players.
You've received numerous complaints about him with evidence and there are clips of him cheating all over You Tube yet you do nothing. He's taking the p out of the NFS community and EA.
What's the point in buying NFS games when you allow scumbag cheaters like Mad_Carl8 to completely destroy the online element of the game???
Why shouldn't we name them? How is the name shaming and the gamertag bullying? They are the ones cheating and ruining in the game, *! Every cheetah in this game should be banned for life. Even if they create a new gamertag EA should have some type of system that will recognize the same IP address. Glitches ruin the game.
In game reporting doesn't work spend a day watching my races I am solastrom it's over run with cheats from racers driving throw on coming traffic to racers Disappearing and reappearing like a all over the map I report it but the same racers are on night after night at first it was a target but know its a joke it getting to the point I don't what to play the game
