Will NCAA 13 address these issues? Actually make online play fun?

That's true, and that would be great, but I don't know how you get it to show up that someone is a glitcher. That would require EA to actually know what is causing the glitch to be do-able. I remember they had something similar on last gen, but you would get in a game with someone, and it turns out that their stout rushing offense was all HB Direct over and over.

But I do agree, more is always better than less.

Madden 12 introduced online communities which allowed you to have your own leaderboard. The hard part is recruiting a bunch of players who play legit. You kind of have to let these cheesers spend their whole life cheesing their way to the top of the top 100, so they can get the satisfaction of seeing their screen name on the top of the leaderboard. We're just gonna have to wait until EA can fix the problem completly. But I do think online communities is a decent band aid.

I agree

Somebody name a single game where the online ranked leader boards weren't filled with persons who exploited the game?

Heres a simple fix.

EA needs ONE employee. Whose record will keep him in the top 20 consistantly(In which they can change his stats anytime) to just play random games 3-4 times a day. This persons sole responsibility is to find these guys, play them, and if they do this stuff, has the power to completely erase thier stats and block them from the server. This person would have to be farely good so that the cheaters use thier tactics though.

Hell, hiring one guy to look through YouTube videos would suffice.

This is exactly what is needed, what we had on the PS2. User profiles with details on how folks play. And we need the ability to leave comments on others profiles ala Ebay feedback. Cheesers/glitchers are of the personality that they would not take time to leave a comment, but legit users would.

Great idea, and with so many folks out there looking for work and who enjoy video games I don't think it'd be that hard to find someone to do this and do it cheaply.

Ultimately I would love a spectator mode so this stuff would be exposed to everybody, with online Mods able to suspend and ban people. However, until then, with all the recording devices out there, I don't understand why there hasn't been an official "reporting system" to ban/suspend accounts established.

It seems simple enough to setup something where people can only report people to EA with video proof and if not, they get suspended/banned. A video capture Madden community watch program.

The main point of all of this is to be a deterrent instead of just ignoring it like it will just go away.
