"Cheating Crisis in the Canasta Community – EA Sports Needs to Step Up"
I’ve been a loyal player of EA Sports Canasta for years, and it's seriously disappointing to watch how rampant cheating has become in the community. At this point, it's not even about "a few bad apples" anymore. It’s an epidemic, and it's seriously starting to erode the integrity of the entire game. If EA continues to ignore this issue, it’s not just going to damage the competitive spirit — it will start to taint the company’s reputation. Here’s why: The Rise of Cheating: It’s no longer rare to encounter cheaters in almost every high-stakes game. Whether it’s bots, card-counting exploits, or players using external tools to manipulate results, it’s becoming unbearable. The company’s response? Silence. The worst part is, the community has been reporting it for months with little to no action from EA. Why This Hurts the Game: Cheating ruins the core of what Canasta is supposed to be about — fair competition and strategy. When the best players aren’t rewarded for skill, the entire leaderboard system becomes irrelevant. Even more casual players are being driven away, and EA’s reputation for producing quality, competitive games is being questioned. Is this the new normal for EA Sports? The Impact on the Community: We’ve got a toxic, under-reported problem here. Players who refuse to cheat are getting frustrated, while cheaters laugh their way to the top, unaffected by the broken system. It’s leading to a huge drop in engagement and genuine passion from the community. It’s time EA stepped up and did more than just turn a blind eye. The company needs to start enforcing stronger anti-cheat measures. How is it possible that such a huge gaming giant can allow this to continue without any significant consequences? I want to hear what others think about this, but if you’re also seeing this same problem, let’s call it what it is: EA’s failure to protect the integrity of their own game. Is EA Sports seriously willing to let their brand reputation be defined by a game full of cheaters?Mahjong Sanctuary Challenge
Today's Mahjong Sanctuary Challenge does not allow repeated boards. I have maxed out the number of boards at level 2150. Yeah, that's how often I play that game. I max out all new levels and have for years. To win 500 feathers, I need to complete 7 boards in a row without failing. Well, how can I do that if I've played to the max level, and you are not allowed to repeat boards? I see so many game issues on these forums. I have some serious concerns here! I have been a paying customer for every consecutive month for well over 20 years! I play games on the site every single day. What actual value am I getting for a product with so many issues? Worse, being able to actually talk to a real customer support person is impossible. The "beta" AI keeps offering me completely irrelevant issue ideas. I get sent around and around and around with irrelevant replies and can't ever get to actually making a ticket or talking to a live person. Again, what value is there in a brand that has so many issues? As a very loyal customer for 23 some years, this is a very serious and valid concern. Please DO escalate this to actual customer support people. The CS AI is an absolute fail right now. So frustrating.
Poker Town Daily challenge 3/29/26
Have to bet a total of 50,000. I bought in 4 times early this morning. Played a long time with those purchases too. Stopped to take a coffee break and came back later to discover ZERO progress made towards that 50K. Not only affects the daily but also that 7 day challenge. Also, can't seem to claim my 4 (maybe 3) awards! Unfortunately your progress could not be saved. Wasting my coins for daily! Not getting rewards I've already earned. Now I won't get the 7 day challege either???Bejeweled Stars Difficulty Issue
I've been playing Bejeweled Stars for a long time and wait patiently for the new levels to open up. However, the new levels are so difficult that I am continually spending a large amount of coins to finish a level. Geez, throw me a bone once in awhile. This is getting tiresome and costly to play a game I enjoyed for many years. I challenge game mods to complete a level without spending. I am going to stop playing a game I enjoyed, challenging levels included, because of the constant need to feed the pogo money grab.
