Drop-in in Club WOC game griefing our team

No i didn't. Reason was taking too many unnecessary risks... And i think it is impossible for goalie to even get kicked out from the game about not moving. Least i have spend almost 2 periods outside for smoke (my team was in tournament and opponent players connection loss just before 3rd period start forced us to spend 2 periods doing nothing except goals that were made. Skaters skated around the ice but i did not even touch my controller. That was in NHL 24 or 25 but still. I did not get kicked because not moving.

But why players who make own goals on purpose does not get kicked out? I know that might be impossible to know wich is mistake and wich ain't.

Least we all can have our own blacklist from players wich are only trolling.

Best would be least for to get to play ALONE without worries about trolling human players. Least AI is trying to do something good. I know few other goalies who rather play EASHL games with AI teammates against team full of human players than with trolling human teammates.

EA could be nice and allow us to play alone if we want to. No one gets hurt so why not?

I think you got kicked out because you didnt move your player, for some time (2-3min maybe) ? Thats right ? 

I think it is really nice to get in the game and be as a goalie when your own teammates starts to make own goals on purpose. 👍 I decided not leave from the game and just be there and try to do even something but ofc i could not but somehow i got kicked out from the game for POOR TEAMPLAY. 🤣 And those idiots who were making own goals on purpose did play PERFECT TEAMPLAY I GUESS? 🤔

Why players like these finds their way on my side when they play against me? 

I had similar thing when i and my 2 buddies where playing and we had 2 drop in D mans .They both where terrible (it seemed intentional) they where fouling all the time. They trolled the game. We played 3 periods total. And because of them 20+ min in penalties(thats 1whole period)  😓. So i did only thing i could i reported them. I hope in future they will get some king of punishment. After that i played vs them in opposing team. They still didd all the bs things. 

I would love to see this happen. The trolling in drop-ins is incredibly frustrating.

It's a game where you can drop in and ruin the game for 11 other people singlehandedly with absolutely no consequence aside from maybe getting blocked by two or three guys. You have to be so hilariously terrible for so inexcusably long to get auto kicked that the feature might as well not even be in the game.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's absolutely crazy to me that we're 17-years into the EASHL experience, and trolls are still able to ruin the experience for everyone.

EA has actively avoided giving users the ability to deal with trolls under this ridiculous idea that it would be 'abused'. What's baffling about that is they'd rather regular, decent people who just want to enjoy hockey suffer the abuse of trolls rather than trolls suffer the 'abuse' of being kicked from a game for being a crappy person. Make it make sense.

It's been demonstrated for 17-years that the automated tools EA uses to determine if a player is griefing are simply not working.

EA_Aljo​ Understood. Something that can be done on EA's side is giving us some kind of feature to remove players mid-game. Something like if they've gone offside enough times, enough penalties, whatever, and an option appears to vote kick someone. Something like that.

The game has to be better at determining if people are going offside on purpose , pulling goalies on purpose, etc. It needs something implemented because it has saturated the game and promotes that style of gameplay if there is no punishment for it. I understand not able to watch every video but if people have someone on video doing this and you refuse to do something about it because it takes too much time to do, speaks volumes about how the devs don't care about competitive fair gameplay. Its not easy to do but its not impossible to implement if they actually tried.

We can't possibly police every drop in game. Not to mention, looking at every video that would get submitted. Which would take a crazy amount of time. And many of those would be from people that just didn't like how someone played. These are drop-in games where you often get new players that don't know the game yet. I understand it's frustrating. I would love better automated features to remove griefers. I truly hope that happens someday.
