What do you expect to see? No kernel level anti cheat software.
Stop kernel-level EA anti cheat in the next upcoming patch. This is a highly invasive and unnecessary back door that will be installed with the next patch. It will also stop the game from running on Linux and Steam deck. EA anti cheat runs at kernel level and will have access to pretty much everything on your computer. Please make yourself heard and tell EA that this is not what we want.

Cheaters are only a problem in a small part of the game, namely online events and leaderboards. Someone who mainly plays single player modes doesn't care about leaderboard times that are a second or thirty quicker but will still have to sacrifice their privacy just to play the game. In my mind that's not a reasonable demand from the developers as long as the game is not an Esports-first title. If that's the aim, provide a dedicated version of the game for Esports events.
100% agree, and the dumb thing is, if you play against AI there is only one who is cheating. The AI scores are all over the place. Maybe fix this first? And then triple screen support? En then maybe introduce anti cheat for online competition / e-sports only. This is typical EA lying about things.
