We need bans and suspensions

LMAO what are you talking about man "short sighted", you genuinely cannot be a real human. Short sighted is telling everyone to ignore the problem and play another mode. This is what every game does that has an even okay community. You PUNISH the people who ruin it for everyone. This is just common knowledge but for some reason you're acting like an EA shill. 

I do play with my team and the game is much more enjoyable, unlike you though, I actually want to improve the experience so that people who dont have that option can also enjoy the game and are not forced into 1 game mode they can only play when friends are online.

3 out of 4 of those other games you mentioned with horrible communities and NO PUNISHMENTS are also EA games. Hmmm, I'm noticing a pattern!

I'm not acting like a victim because someone on my team is playing bad, one of my best friends, whom I play with EVERYDAY on a team, might aswell have feet for hands, he's terrible and I do not care.

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. This is an outrageous thing to cope for. Whats so hard to understand about that? 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. 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. I'll just pretend this doesnt exist and go back to playing with my club, good talk. 

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.

What kind of response do you expect when you're bringing something up that they clearly have already heard a hundred times that this is an issue?

How is it the responsibility of the devs to fix crappy human behaviour?

All of this with NO punishment, no auto detection, not even a report system. 

EA isn't going to restrict access to their game for players who don't play the game the way everyone wants them to. A reporting system would be abused. For example, someone may be a clearly dominant player on a team but because the D-man didn't get passes he thought he should, he'd report that player. Or a goalie who is left to deal with breakaway after breakaway or odd man rushes, and the team reports him for 'poor team play' because they don't understand the role they play in those goals being scored.

If you don't like the cesspool that is Drop-Ins, then either make a club and invite people to join or back out of matchmaking in Drop-Ins until you are picked up by a club as a free agent. 

I'm with all of you that Drop-Ins are a completely miserable time due to human nature but expecting EA to resolve that through punishment is short sighted. 

They really need to offer bonus XP or rewards specific to team play to encourage more cooperation. Flat out banning people just encourages even more crappy behaviour.

I've never seen a video game where you can genuinely be this bad of a person, every SINGLE game and be unscathed. You can yell slurs, score own goals, take penalties all day long. You are collecting bottom of the barrel people.

If someone is communicating in a poor manner, EA is not responsible. You need to report them via your console's reporting feature.

Fifa, NBA, Madden - they all suffer the same fate in multiplayer modes. A section of players who understand it's a videogame and trying to get the most out of it, and another section of players who insist they're the 'normal' fans of the sport who are constantly victim to players 'not playing right'. 

The solution is to form teams and join communities devoted to your style of play. Random Drop-Ins should be treated as a way to test out builds and practice your skills at the game versus trying to gain XP and win games. 

"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.

Devs and mods, If you ever wonder why the community is so toxic, its because the game fosters it, and pushes normal hockey fans away. 

I've never seen a video game where you can genuinely be this bad of a person, every SINGLE game and be unscathed. You can yell slurs, score own goals, take penalties all day long. You are collecting bottom of the barrel people. Please do something, it cannot be that difficult, every other game seems to have it.
