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?

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.

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.
