We need bans and suspensions
Why is it that in EVERY other game, there is a report for griefing option and subsequent penalties for destroying games and wasting peoples time. This is an embarrassment. It feels like nearly half...

"wasting peoples time"
Respecting players' time: Every participant is entitled to complete their match, no matter how poorly they may be performing.
Every player deserves to finish their game, regardless of how bad they are playing.
Are you going to read the whole post or just take one part completely out of context.
Where did I say people who are bad shouldn't be allowed to play?
People who are PURPOSELY RUINING OTHER PEOPLES MATCHES SHOULD GET BANNED.

haha the crash out is real.

You're not comprehending. I didn't once say that you said that. But stop and think about what banning people means, and how if you leave it in the hands of some community reporting feature, that some people whose skills may be contributing to a team loss might result in the people on that team reporting that player for 'poor team play'.

Agreed but some people may perceive a player still learning the controls as someone who is "purposely ruining other people's matches". There's so much defensiveness among this community and it would come as no surprise a lot of people would have knee-**bleep** reactions to a player causing a single offside, consecutive icings or god forbid a puck bounce off of them into their own net. Many of the sweaty elites on this game have ZERO patience for people learning how to play and your crash out in this thread proves that.
LMAO what are you talking about man "short sighted", you genuinely cannot be a real human.
I can understand how this topic may be hard to follow along, but please try your best.
I am frustrated that people can go in and make it there only goal to ruin and waste the time of possibly 9 other players And FACE NO POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT OR REMOVAL FROM THE GAME.
Can you point out where anyone here disagrees with you on that? Like.. who are you yelling at and arguing with here?
I'm actually having a hard time believing you think EA holds no responsibility in the monitoring their community and having punishments for griefing in THEIR VIDEO GAME.
I did not say that. I said in regard to communication, that's a console issue. You need to report that to your console manufacturer. When it comes to people scoring on their own team, goalies skating around acting like clowns and teammates who monopolize the gameplay - it's up to you to find communities and clubs that play the way you want. Expecting astute gameplay from anonymous drop-ins games is incredibly short sighted and naive. EA would need to implement restrictions on the freedom of gameplay in order to force people to play "properly". I think EA has resigned to the fact that most people who play this game actually understand the nature of a drop-in game and how it's a crapshoot when it comes to teammate skill and opponent skill. It's all random. Drop-Ins are awful but I honestly think it has more to do with the nature of the people in this community than it does the game itself.
It's just a funny coincidence every game with any sort of respectful, healthy community has some form of moderation and penalties, yeah, definitely no correlations there man, you're totally right, I'm just being short sighted.
Name one.
Name one.
Sure I'll name a few, Rainbow 6 Siege has completely changed the community with the way its reputation system has effected the game. Players with frequent reports get lower reputation and based on what they have done they will either be removed from matchmaking, get less XP and rewards for games they do play, get a pre-emptive communication ban and are unable to use their mic unless unmuted by other players. Players with better reputation get more rewards and XP. This is such a simple solution that without a doubt would instantly be a step in the right direction. Siege was night and day before and after this change. Also the reputation based matchmaking for casual play so the bad apples all play together is perfect and could totally work in WOC
Overwatch is another game with some good anti toxicity tools, several different report options and a button to "avoid as teammate" on a handful of players. Would definitely be useful in WOC for just the absolute worst griefers.
Oh another game you mentioned, NBA2K, has the teammate grade in the park and rec, and if you get it low enough by doing bad enough, you get kicked from the game. Crazy isn't it. That ones not even trying to protect new players like I am willing to compromise with you and do and NOBODY complains about it. They just boot those noobs.
There, I am giving you real, genuine solutions to the problems at hand not something so Short sighted as "go play clubs"
Many of the sweaty elites on this game have ZERO patience for people learning how to play and your crash out in this thread proves that.
Dude what are you talking about? There's no correlation in the things you just said lmfao. I'm crashing out because you're making awful points, telling me I am short sighted for wanting to fix a problem and your big solution is "dont play that mode". I have plenty of patience for new players. I don't have patience for people bootlicking for a billion dollar company and not giving any production solutions.
Agreed but some people may perceive a player still learning the controls as someone who is "purposely ruining other people's matches".
How do you think the ban system would work? If you report a new player who is bad, there would need to be a system that can tell the difference between that and seperate it from someone getting penalties on cool down, attempting to score on there own goalie continously, go offside every single play on purpose, or a goalie purposely coming out of their net every single play. Again, so many of these games have no issue identifying obvious griefers from new bad players, NHL should be no different. Its obvious when someone is genuinely throwing on purpose. Thats all I want, even just the obvious ones. Guys who make it their whole goal to ruin the match. Any automatic system would be able to detect that in 2 seconds and solve most of the issue.
These seem like very easy systems to implement, infact, in pervious yesrs I know for a FACT they were IN THE GAME ALREADY for several months until eventually EA turned them completely off because they implemented incorrectly into club matches and people were getting 3 penalties and being removed from their own games. That sounds like an easy fix though.
I do not want new players to be punished, I want them to actually find games where people are motivated to help them, teach them and stick it out instead of deciding to throw the match because they have a new player and might aswell ruin it for everyone anyway.
