Reporting Cheaters in Unbound

Your forum link here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/

Tells us:

1. Go to the Lobby.
2. Choose to exit garage to the Events Map.
3. Hover over the Players Icon location.
4. Choose to interact with Player Card.
5. Click Report.

The thing is: THERE IS NO OPTION TO REPORT FOR CHEATING. And if I use any other option (in hopes that cheater's activity got looked at) I receive the "We did not notice anything violating our policies" e-mail. With unclear options how to appeal to that.

I have footage proving a player cheating (so you can judge for yourself). But I cannot post it here as there is "no name and shame" policy on this forum.

Well, you are right in the fact it doesn't help. But at least formally, there is no way to report cheaters in Unbound. I.e. using any other option of the "Report" function results in EA saying "we didn't find anything". And formally they aren't obliged to look for cheating when my report was about e.g. SPAM.

Anyways, I believe that establishing "report for cheating" option would be a step in the right direction. Although EA needs to be careful about that, since there will be a lot of false positives (people just do not like loosing).

There seems to be a massive rise of PC modders abusing a mod known as "partygod NOS" 

It allows infinite fullburst nos but with tron like speed. It's impossible to race when this is happening. Also some people have spent alot of money on this game. Money and effort that deems useless when someone cheats to this extent 

This mod will absolutely destroy this game, including the efforts the developers have put in to bring this game back to greatness. 

Please please can us as a community do something to rase awareness and get the developers and EA to stop this. 

Either monitor or create a report for speed hacking so that they can be dealt with accordingly. Or as a punishment take it online for PC players until it stops. Personally I belive there should be a vote to kick speedhackers. Or the game should have an AI in place to notice that speed boundaries have clearly been broken and there fore result in an instant kick 

I started to think that there is no one who doesn't cheat in this game. Not only PC gamers, but also PS and XBOX gamers do it. It has a single engine and no matter what you do, they increase the top speed of the vehicle from 365 to 395. I shouldn't say redline, because it only makes a difference of 12-14km at most. There is no way to go at the same pace all the time anyway. As I round the corner in front, I see the man teleporting to the other corner. For example, in the S race, there is a man who turns the last two corners before the straight on the ON RAIL track with a speed of 300km.

I can't say anything about Brust nitro. I use it myself. 100% grip and brake tab with drift and grip nitro installed. It almost always fills 3 bursts. The game might be confusing because we can do both grip and micro drift at the same time. For this reason, it fills up very quickly.

In conclusion, shake it off. Those who cheat give money to those who don't. I only play for half an hour a day now, and there are bugs everywhere in the game anyway. I used to love making vinyl, but with the last update they were broken, graphics quality decreased, FPS dropped. Frankly speaking, constantly introducing new inventions without fixing the bugs in the game is not very enjoyable.

Dear Friends, they have not even bothered to correct any of the errors we have reported for 2 years. They are constantly adding new things to the game to keep it up-to-date and sell it, etc., but the mistakes from the very beginning still continue. You say it's cheating or something, but who cares, the guys are just selling it and enjoying themselves.

For example;

Vinyl texture bugs (it got worse with vol 6, even NFSU and U2 had smoother textures.)

Black vinyl transparent color bug

Vinyl movement on windows.

Rims shrink when you change vinyl.

The headlight color changes but the light is always white. Even at NFSU, the light illuminated in the color of the headlamp.
Motion blur bug
Vehicles falling from the air
Dark tunnels

And many more..

These are present from the very beginning of the game. It's been a year since I reported these in a long list.

One of them was not fixed.

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug IslamK_24 is cheating in need for speed unbound. reaching 2km within 10 seconds and top speed in S+ within less than 1 second. i hope that its just a bug that lets him alter the datas of the game atm. otherwise everybody will use it within weeks.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Watch Islam24_K, check his game datas, order a data control from steam, give the players a way to report cheaters, just do what other companys do.
What happens when the bug occurs? wrote it in the first box
What do you expect to see? a solution?

‌

IslamK_24 has changed his gamefiles in need for speed unbound. he is probably using a makro for certain tracks and his porsche taycan is within 10 seconds 1-2 km ahead of everyone. even if the fastest car ingame would start alone, it would not be able to do that. he is obviously using a bug to alter datas and not getting caught or there is no contol over data changes.
