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

[ViLLiO]

I'm not even gonna' start on the sorry, laggy, servers where I disconnect from every other game, but what about the online cheaters, glitchers, etc? The overall online experience in general? Will it be less laggy and more social? If there was just an option to 'report' your opponent post-game, and that would stick with him, that'd be great. The higher the 'report rating', the bigger of cheeser the random EA has set you up with is. Just like they did with the DNF%, except this one will weed out the glitchers/cheaters instead of the quitters with no skill.



Want an example? Here is a dude I played just two hours ago (skip to 1:00 for the cheat):

That's pathetic. These guys shouldn't be ranked in the top 100 with records like 200-88. This specific dude's name is beast2312. I don't know how he has 33 losses. This guy did this to me on every single 3rd/4th down. He had zero skill whatsoever and I could tell by the way he 'tried' to win legit by running goal line on 1st and 2nd downs. I shut his crap down all game long, yet I am awarded with another loss and he gains another win? Come on, man. Oh, and he did some incredible nano blitz on every single play where you had 3-4 seconds max to get rid of the ball. The only way around it was by going deep, which I did and it worked.... but he just kept on doing this crap on 4th downs....

And hell I'm not the only one; BryceDaddy (#3 on ps3) just uploaded this vid a few hours ago:

EA must fix this trash. If we only had USER PROFILES or at the very least a post-game 'report' button, then we could avoid crap like this.

Honestly what do you get out of being ranked in the top 100? Idk what you people are complaining about. You already know when your going into any ranked match its cheese inc. If you want to play against other people then go play unranked match's.

Like many other features, online was implemented better on last gen consoles.

This opinion is the problem, not the solution. You don't get what people are complaining about when people are upset about getting abused and cheated in games? I like ranked games, I like having a win-loss record, is it too much to ask to not have people jerk you around with garbage play?

That said, I've played online lobby games for so many years now that I get a good idea of the makeup of a player before starting a game. Their record, DNF and Streak go a long way in indicating how they play.

No. We need, at the very least, a 'Report' button. People who've been reported too often won't get many matches because their 'Report Percentage' will be too high.

Thus they will not be in the top 100...

^^^ Unfortunately, this would just compound the problem. The same people that are cheesing and using these glitches all the time to have a better record would just report everyone, including the legit sim players. You beat them straight up, no BS, and they get mad and report you for "pay back".

The only way something like that works is if its on the honor system where you only report people who actually glitch and cheese, but the glitchers and cheesers outnumber us and would just report everyone. It would be useless after a week.

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

Good point. But we still need complex user profiles that go into great depth about the opponent you're about to face. We need the ability to at least scout them pre-game.

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

I know just having a report button prob wouldn't work but EA needs some way to monitor crap like in those videos. I had to stop playing online outside of my dynasties because of things like that. It ruins what should be the best part of the game, online head to head.

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?

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

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.
