Reporting poor team play

Playing woc with drop-in teammates I go in knowing the skills may very. I can enjoy hockey with just about anybody, however im disappointed to see I can no longer report players for sabotaging games. If I chirp their ear off they double down, if I message them I get reported with a strike from PSN. If I block them only Im safe from their poor sportsmanship, not their next teams. [REMOVED] spent 30 minutes doing their best sabotaging a ranked game, consistently calling for the puck, shooting the puck back into out zone and going offsides intentionally. Luckily I was paired with a defenseman that messaged me "lets just carry this guy" and we did just that, in a painfully grueling long game, we won in overtime playing a 3v3 hockey game that was actually 4v2. What's more frustrating is i couldn't report him for his poor behavior after the game, please bring back the report sabotaging games function, PSN has a play a team game rule in their code of conduct but ask to report that behavior in-game.

Edit: Removed player ID according to the "name and shame" rule. -CM

Hey there. I'll pass on the feedback. I don't recall ever having a report for sabotaging games though. We've always just had the option to report player and club names. I agree we could use better anti-griefing measures though.

This is a big reason we need some type of player grades/ profile. Allow us to see if their teammates and/or the game grades them very low for their play/ positioning. I would also prefer to have some type of training camp to play through before you can play online.. it would keep players from just joining without having any clue/ players creating new profiles to troll. Force players to repeat a section if they get a bad enough grade (or they have a big warning over their profile while in a lobby) I always want to try to find new players in drops but after playing with even a single troll, I'm usually done for the night. Even if they're on the other team it sucks, there needs to be SOME type of punishment.
Personally I just don't think drops should even have a rank though.. it promotes clubs to smurf and beat unorganized groups, and groups that are being forced to play with trolls. I think we should be pushing more teams to play in clubs, this would also speed up matchmaking. Drops should be played to find people to play with and to find clubs.
