Fix The Frozen Screen Glitch

Hey GlassJoeGOAT​ Twitch-ItzDinggo​, 

We'll pass this along to be looked into, thanks for the additional details!

No. It's before the fight even starts. It happens in both Ranked MMA and Online Career. 

There's a few very quick loading screens in between the matchup menu and the fight starting.  People do something to keep the screen just stuck in between  - usually on a white screen.  And whoever quits first loses the fight and loses points. There are players who do it intentionally and then even laugh about it in psn messages. 

These people are seemingly willing to sit for hours using a 3-star fighter just to accumulate points and falsely climb leader boards. 

I tagged EA_Mako​ but haven't gotten a response about this glitch. It is getting abused more and more. 

I get that aswell. Do you mean right after character selection? All they have to do is make it so that if you leave a match before you touch gloves or throw a strike then you don't lose any points and the opponent doesn't gain any either.

After character selection I start loading in then suddenly it freezes right before the match starts, it's not a console issue because it still allows me to access the menu. It is a serverside issue.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!: if you change it so that, if you leave the game before you touch gloves or have thrown strike, then you don't lose any elo points. As soon as you touch gloves or throw a strike you will lose elo points upon leaving the match. That way even if it does freeze, then you can back out without losing any points.
