EA Sports. Always rewarding quitters.

Prev1
I am really getting sick and #### tired of getting screwed over in every 6v6 OTP games I play. Same formula every #### time. Drop puck. Dominate other team. Go up 3-0. Other goalie quits. My goalie stays all game and can't stop anything. Automatic loss. Every time the goalie quits, I already know we are losing. All of the sudden, all shots just magically start going wide on great scoring chances. Sticks break in crucial spots. Fanned one timers amazingly appear. Computer goalie turns into superman and makes unreal save after unreal save. When is this sorry excuse for a company gonna do something about this??? This year, we actually have something to play for in the CR. How about penalizing quitters 50 to 100 CR for quitting??? Does anyone ever think of anything at this company??? Getting so sick of losing my rating points because goalies are leaving games after 1 or 2 shots. Start penalizing people. Maybe then this community won't be so horrible.

  • It doesn't matter to them. There is no money to be made in fixing the EASHL community problems. Only if it was HUT, maybe they would actually give a ####.
  • So.... "CR" matters?

    How so?

    Lol true story , I had to stop playing games as a center and my bro as a lw becuase we were losing too much.

    we woukd go up 3-4 goals in 1st period . Half the players would quit , the trash D try and get in on the action and we end up always losing.

    Not only that , it's no fun playing against ai. No fun at all.

    When someone says ea doesn't care , they really don't. I've brought attention to this for 2 years straight but they don't give ****.

    The year they actually punish Quitters, I'll say they give a ****

    It doesn't really matter but it's something to at least play for.
  • It doesn't really matter but it's something to at least play for.

    Not really.

    Not to people that play drop ins and those that like to troll.

    The best way was to have a progression system for your player. And it should be strict - you play like an a-hole or garbage your team play should kill your grade and you should never progress.

    Nothing preventing people from creating another account to troll on old gen. Plus, once you did reach Legend 3, nothing prevented your from lowering all your points to get a 45 overall and troll. You could easily set your player back to the way he was. There should have been a penalty system in place that would lower your to L2, L1, etc... forcing you to recreate your player with lowered points available.

    1st bolded part - yeah, but I mean how often is that the case?

    2nd bolded part - I AGREE. there SHOULD be a downgrade for stats if you start playing like GARBAGE. just like when players "go cold" in real life. EA used to have that mechanic in franchise. not sure if they still do or not. anyways - I completely agree.

    It's not just EASHL. VS and HUT are absolutely plagued by the same trash. The game works against you when you dominate, once I go up 2, 3-0 I can barely shoot, barely pass, team skates slow. I've noticed a trend where if I'm playing a weaker player and I'm winning 3-0 after 1. The 2nd period their goalie will be an absolutely beast while mine gives up the 'unlucky bounce' but by the 3rd I'll start scoring again.

    It happens like this way too often for me to ever believe there isn't some sort of rubber banding **** going on. Everyone I come in contact with online talks about the same complaints we all see in the forums, so if EA thinks it's only ppl in here, they're drunk.

    I don't subscribe to this train of thought. I play EASHL and online vs regularly.

    I beat a dude yesterday (maybr it was two days ago ?)who was 40 and 1 lol. I looked at his recent games and he had no trouble smacking his opponents around. I'm talking I saw one of his recent games where the score was 17-1 lol.

    He was an offensive juggernaut , still beat him doe :)

    No matter what EA does people will still rage quit the problem is with people in today's world.

    The people in "yesterday's world" were the same as people in "today's world".
  • I think if a player quits they should not be able to join another game for x amount of time. Also I believe the goalie quiting they said they ai goalie would be worse but only said he would be smaller. So what ever difference that makes.
  • You guys have to understand, drop in games can't really be regulated...they are just pick up games. The ONLY way you are going to get good serious playing and competition is club or league games. It's the cold hard truth.

    That may be the case, but players still have to be accountable for their garbage playing. If a player is bad, but tries, then it is frustrating but at least he isn't doing it on purpose.

    If EA wants to keep OTP in the game, then it has to be regulated somehow. Either they don't care, or simply don't know how. It is unreal how they can tolerate such garbage environments in their games.

    I hear you, but grievers and trolls will always find a way to grieve and troll, the best thing they added to drop ins is the fact you can lobby up again with randoms that played well, play a few games and you can roll with quality people.
    I really don't know what they can do to regulate trolling. They added some stuff to help it, which I can appreciate...but what else can they really do?
