Let me guess, EA doesn't have any type of cheat detection software. Just solely relying on players to capture videos and make reports with no actions taken.

not even an in-game report feature either for people cheating or griefing. only option is to report a players name.

Somehow someone blew past my TOTY Makar with victor headman. Completely just soared past him on the boards. No I wasn’t spamming poke check, literally just skating to get in front of him and had no chance. my team is a 90 overall and somehow it’s harder to beat players that have lower over alls as some how their teams are faster than mine. Is that just because they put the sliders all the way up? I keep mine at 6 and have a hard time believing that even if they have it at 10 that their 82 over all players can skate faster than most of my team which all have 90 and above speed and acceleration. But it is a thing.

When someone posts videos claiming to be proof of 'cheating', I'll always provide insight to shut that down. Any claims of 'cheating' is just a coping mechanism for taking losses you don't 'believe' you should take. You should have noticed that I agreed with you regarding the pucks in-close to goalies and their inability to cover them. Blambo_svk wrote:How many people here describe the same error and you still want a video, so everyone probably just writes the error, it's on their head. And in my videos, you don't go here to stop a player because the stick goes through him, so what do you wantStories mean nothing. People often write these stories leaving out details or create narratives that push their agenda, which is mostly an attempt to say "the game is bad because I lose". This is why I always ask for video because it provides an objective truth to the claims, which can then be either proven, disproven and/or an opportunity to provide context for the user to understand why things play out in-game the way they do.For example, in previous years, many people complained their poke checks were 100% accurate but completely ineffective. They told tall tales of being the greatest defenders on planet earth with the most impeccable positioning and timing only to have their opponent "instantly regain possession". Of course, video 'evidence' of this showed that in a majority of cases - players were wildly out of position, executing poke checks with poor timing and seemingly no awareness of their position on the ice. Then there were the instances where the situations played out exactly as described: perfect poke check but zero puck reaction.This is where providing additional context is important.Developers jumped into these discussions to explain that if the poke check animation traverses the player model (ie: stick goes through a player's leg) the stick then becomes an inactive element of the sequence. This is to simulate the fact that in real life, the stick would've been deflected away from the puck from hitting the player's leg. Limitations to technology or the underlying game engine mean they cannot properly apply the stick physics that would cause the stick to deflect off the leg in a realistic fashion/animation. Taking liberties like this in an attempt to balance real-world reactions with limitations in the physics department is something that should be easily comprehended by your average player, but it seems many players still just observe the sequence play out in-game and determine the game is 'broken', 'tilted', etc. People will jump to conclusions when they can't fill in the details.

But watch the streams and you will see it thereYes, EA makes games to make money. We all have our grievances with the game and we all have certain things we'd personally like to see get improved, changed, etc. But at the end of the day, EA still puts out a hockey game with enough changes that 400, 500K people buy it every single year. They have data that shows them exactly how big of an impact these changes have to their bottom line and exactly how many new players their yearly changes can acquire. This is the only metric they're concerned about, although I'm sure a lowered population in World of Chel is something they must be keeping an eye on.

How are players cheating? Exploits aside, we're not aware of cheating and in the case of teams win-trading, those are typically actioned.

there are no cheats in this game, it's just that the game itself is a trap and that's because they're super bums, they don't know the game or I don't want to do it, what if I just want money anyway, so I'll play the game anyway. I've been laughing for a long time as 86 is faster than 92, but that's still our connection, not the server here, and it discriminates.

Do you have any video showing an 86 beating a 92?

and do you have a video where the game goes well, you keep grinding, it's certainly not a problem on our side, everything is on the player's side, but if not, the game is going so great for you, you still don't want to return the money, it's the same, and year after year you want money, not the last year, I won't give money to scammers anymore.you want a video, come and play it and we'll see, because playing the game directly in ea is a hell of a lot.

Both modern consoles in which this game is available have a feature where a simple button press can capture the last 30-seconds of gameplay. Nobody is expecting you to record your games, but if there's an issue with any videogame that's constantly plaguing you, the tools are built-in to both consoles in order to record the specific problem you're having with extreme ease.
