    "Exesscive Grieving" Has Increased My Respect For EA!

    I was just playing a guy online, for a potential cash prize and he got kicked off for "excessive grieving", giving me the win in the 1st quarter. At first, I didn't know what had happened and didn't want a win that way. However, I did a Google search about excessive grieving and it seems to be EA's way of deterring silly antics.

    At the start of the game, in the team selections screen, I noticed it had "Sponsored Game" over the displayed Game Minutes and Difficulty Setting. This may or may not mean they are monitoring these "Sponsored" games. Anyway, the guy intentionally ran offssides on my extra point attempt and tackled my Kicker. I chose FG attempt again, the game continued and a few series later, he scored on his next possession on a 3rd and long screen pass for like 80+ yds. (Oh yeah, I forgot he kept taking a defender and running all over the field pre-snap.)

    Ok, so after his score, on my next possession, the game disconnects and sends me a message stating "Your opponent has been kicked for excessive grieving".

    If this really is EA Moderating Online play, I am very impressed!!!

    PS. Just realized I misspelled "excessive" in my thread title, get over it. lol

        I somehow doubt that's the reason he was kicked.

              I'm still very unsure about this feature.

              I was watching some live streams of people playing online matches and it was very questionable as to when and why this REALLY happens.

                Nope you got it all wrong buddy. I've had plenty of straight games end with this. Everyone that plays in my community is very sim and we've had it pop up 3 times so far that I know of. I've had it pop up twice against 2 different people. I don't know about that 1 other time, but the 2 times it happened to me, the games were very sim and I was pissed that it happened. Knowing EA it's prolly some kind of glitch or something.

                One thing I do know, they better not be monitoring games cause if they could do that, that means we could have a damn spectator mode online.

                      Wait so the guy got kicked out because he was bemoaning the loss of a loved one?

                        I've only played online once and this popped up in the 4th. I had just gone up by 10 and after the kickoff it popped up and gave me the win. Have no idea what it means and unless it means he had a mic and was cursing his lunges out there was no reason the game should have ended.

                          Happened to me when I was winning 38-7 in an MUT Tourney game (7th round) and my opponent started doing delay of games to try and get me to quit in the fourth quarter.

                          It ended up kicking him and telling me my opponent left for excessive grieving.

                          I got no coins for my win, and I had to restart from the 1st round (7th round reward is like 4000 coins and 8-10 can get you over 10k coins from one game easily) in the MUT, which means they will also take off a % of my coins I earn in that tourney going forward.

                          Thanks EA! /sarcasm
