The cheating in Unbound is out of control

I turned off cross play as every S race I was playing had a PC player listed as playing a Lambo but in game they were driving a golf that was untouchable, always accompanied with 2 bots that also were driving lambo's so the cheater could do the online race. Why does the so-called 'master race' need to cheat so much? I thought disabling crossplay would fix the botting/hacking but no....

On console almost every race online has someone cheating. Usually the car they are listed as using, isn't the car they are driving in game. The car is always untouchable, no way to get anywhere near it. There are countless videos and sites that show lots of different ways to hack the cars or your money yet no patch to block the hacks?

There isn't even an option to report people for hacking... 

It's totally sucking the fun out of the game! What's the point in playing when its not a fair a race? I just feel like I am gifting cash to cheaters. Please EA, fix this before you kill the userbase

    just want to add to this thread, that this is ongoing it seems

    I dread racing against PC players on PS5, as it seems to be a high chance you'll be up against someone who has infinite nitrous and a car that is out of spec for the tier

    They can come from dead last to having a 2km lead easily as they rocket past everyone with nitrous non stop

    Oh yes, that's right, yesterday I had a so-called cheater again in the PVP, it was in the mixed levels, and he chose a Mclaren F1 1994 in class A, I thought at first, ah the ad is crazy again, but no, He actually drove the Mclaren F1, so of course I couldn't keep up with my Testarossa, his car was as fast as an S+ vehicle. And I think at Riverwalk the Testarossa is the best vehicle. The best thing is that at the next race in class A+ he also drove the Mclaren F1 1994, and in class S at Lakeside he also drove the Mclaren. Ok, I'll leave it 1 class lower, that's how it's described in Unbound that you can only tune vehicles 1 class lower, but 3 classes lower is probably only possible with cheating. Of course you don't think so quickly about taking screenshots, but no matter, we have to live with them.

    @EA_Illium In this game a problem. No report for cheating. Only abuse, and other reasons. Please add to Unbound reason for report - cheats.

    Is Mclaren f1 becoming an A class? I heard it for the first time. I don't think that vehicle would fall below A+ even without an engine 🙂

    As for the reporting system of the game, I have made at least 100 reports, and it has always been "no action is required at this time".

    The man falls off the rails and wanders around the street for 2 minutes in the S+ "Gotta be kidding me" race in PVP, and next thing you know, he comes in first place. On the map, it appears to be in the city, not on the train track. There is no one in front of me on the yellow racing line on the map, but the man suddenly jumps from somewhere and takes first place, 100 meters before the end.

    Some players may go overpowered. I can understand this. But cheaters are in a different dimension. I saw a man driving upside down at a speed of 400km 🙂

    And I keep repeating. Yes, much more on PC, but Xbox and PS players have definitely found a way to cheat, too.

    Oh yes, I know that thing about accidents all too well, and I've only experienced the other thing in the PVP races. You're leading the race with a lead of 450 meters, and like lightning the second one shoots past you just before the finish line. and that in all 3 races on the list.
