Sick of FIFA quitters

JokerD

Why can't many people let their opponent have their victory without crying off just because their losing? I'm winning matches and then their not going on my record just because someone can't take their beating. It gets very annoying when it happens consistent like it has been for me:mad: Does this happen much to all you?

Vic Vinegar

Try losing more games and i guarantee it will happen less!




Seriously though. It happens a few times to me alright, really annoying! most people just can't seem to take losing too well

Mr Moon

If you're really sick of this, when you're playing someone who you think might quit, let them go ahead in the game and then try your best to beat them! At least your guaranteed they wont quit!!!

Once it comes up with the connection lost message, if you leave it a minute or two and then advance it will register a victory for you.

Well when you're too good for most of those losers out there it's a challenge for yourself!!

Best thing is to play in the Boards leagues that are being set up or if you play a few people that you have good games against, and most importantly don't quit, build a friends list of people to play regularly...

Mr Freeze

Its sickening...I probably win 1 in 5 ranked matches that I play, and i never quit...

Its so annoying if i manage to go ahead, and then the other guy quits...

I just give them negative rep for quitting and sometimes send them a message...

Best thing to do, is as the above posters say is to build up a friends list of Boards players and play them...

And then when you meet a player who is equal skill level, or just incredibly lucky in that game and you lose the game to a goal that you allowed them to score..... this would be absolutely retarded!!!!

I'd rather have them quit and take the win, than not get a win because I allowed them to score.

Every time some one quits on me, I wait for a minute or 2 before pressing A to leave the match, but I have never been given the 3-0 win in my stats...

lol, so you are either a complete tool for suggesting to concede goals that could cost you matches, or you went off topic and caused confusion like a complete tool (OP was annoyed because wins weren't going on his record).

lol Take your pick

neilisagam

its happened me the last 2 times now..... i like picking the inform teams so i was beaten some guy who has 23000 points, 5-1 with arsenal and he quits same with a guy 2 seconds l8r. its really frustrating. take ur beating

mika27

I used to send people messages explaining to them how much of an a$$hole they are whenever they quit, but I got pretty tired of doing that when I discovered how often it happens.

EA should sort it out, it can't be that hard to give the win to the person who doesn't quit.

Mr Freeze

EA's idea of sorting it out, is you can quit within the first 5 mins of the game without getting a DNF increase, but quit after that and your DNF % goes up.

It doesn't and wont stop the quitters

Literally retarded, i rarely play ranked games (but do have a phenomenal record as it happens ) also have a 0%DNF, so im just deadly. Anywho it defies belief it really does, it happens so many times, the last time it happend literally about 4 times in the space of ten minutes, the icing on the cake being me picking france him brazil, i score after 10 mins, and boom, he quits, in an unranked match no less. The mind boggles.

The ONLY thing that Pro evo still has over Fifa, and i mean only, is that its 'harder' to quit from my recollection, ie you have to sign out rather than just quiting in pause menu. They have got to do something for next installment of the game, just crazy.

You can do a manual search as far as i know and cut out saps over a certain % of DNF's. Pain in the hole though.

Has anyone noticed a huge increase in asian players? Do my head in, always always watch every last second of replays.:mad:

I had a guy who scored OG's after I scored 3 goals.

Guy got so pissed off he decided to kick the ball to his keeper and put it in the back of the net after every OG he scored and done it over and over.

I ended up winning 25-0 :cool:

But the guy kept pausing the game and then would'nt play thats how i scored 3-0. If you're going to go afk from your game then don't play ranked matches at all :mad:

A phenomenal record and 0% DNF? Your obviously deadly...and hell, lets be honest, thats pretty impressive for a 10 year old (Sorry, but you left yourself open for that !)

Yeah, its too easy to quit. Get the ball, pause, quit, straight back to another game in less than 5 seconds. At least Pro Evo makes it more difficult. What I'd like to see is, you can't play any game of fifa, online or offline for 15 mins if you quit. Store the event on the HDD somewhere, so that turning off your 360 and turning it back on won't let the time expire.

It would be annoying if you have a dodgy connection, but it would reduce the quitting.

Another suggestion, If you have a DNF% of 20 or higher, once per month, a check would be done on this. If your DNF is higher than 20%, you can't play for the next 7 days after the check. Then you have 21 days to stop quitting ranked matches like a jackass, and get your DNF down, or you'll be banned for another 7 days when the next check comes around.

It'd be the right job. Never happen though, but quitters are ruining FIFA online. I seen one lad whose DNF was 78% ffs.

If youre on the PS3, I think I played the same idiot, was talking to him on the mic, only a kid, went 3-0 up after 15mins, beggin me to quit and start again, no way I said and he wouldnt quit either, so he did the same thing scoring OG's for the rest of the game which I won 24 nil, crazy

JokerD

decided to play some more today, so i played 6 and 4 people quit, 2 before half time

Turd Ferguson

I've given up on ranked matches. The ones I was winning they other guys just quit, its just a waste of time. Un-ranked are the way to go.

RALEIGH_BURNER2

Ye it has to be the most annoying thing about the game, one guy i played was thrash talking me for the whole game then when i am beating him comfortably he says "guess what Q stands?" and then quits out.

Just discovered if you want to play matches where you'll actually get the whole game in, just create a session and theres and option for the max DNF% and you can set it 5 or below etc. or whatever you want but it definitely filters out the clowns!

Where is that option? I thought the only option for ranked games, was Quick Ranked Match?

I regularly used this for 08, and it worked like a charm. Any time I've tried it on 09, I'm regularly waiting ages for a game. Although that was in the first couple of weeks of release, so maybe its easier now.

SRFC90

How do ya play unranked matches? I cant see the option anywhere, although I havent been going out of my way looking.

Jerichoholic

I played a ranked game tonight...

Jesus Christ!!!

He watched every second of the intros, then after about two minutes he got the ball and paused for a full 30 seconds. Then when the game restarted he paused again for 30 seconds, and then again - for 30 seconds. 3 minutes not even gone in the game. He ended up with about 5 yellow cards because he was a scumbag. He had a HUGE player score though. Why do people bother, I actually would have kicked the crap out of him if he was near me. What a tosser.

Kimbot

Lads, don't forget people that have connection problems. I have my media centre thing enabled on the ps3 and when I played online in anygame it kept disconnecting.
People sent me messages going mad and nobody bothered to listen when I told them that no matter what my connection just kept dropping until 1 guy told me about the media thing and I was sorted but others didn't want to play me because my DNF%.

ya some of them are connection problems, and thats fine, but we're on about the players that quit instantly as soon as you take the lead.

And there is no shortage of players like that.

People have started doing that in unranked matches also, which is just stupid as they dont even count on your stats. Case in point yesterday, I got a lucky goal in the 7th minute. It was a mistake from the keeper, an obvious fluke goal. The guy just quits straight away. Fair enough if you're 5 - 0 down with 3 minutes left, but he had the whole match left. EA really need to do something about this. Maybe a system where it registers if you quit from the pause menu (as opposed to losing the connection) and if you do it a certain amount of times you get banned from online play or something.

That wouldn't really work as people could just turn their internet off and back on...

But i agree EA need to sort it, haven't had a proper ranked match in ages, so i eventually gave up on that quick ranked match option and just played people i know won't quit

Moiph

I'm starting to get annoyed by this now as well, twice last night people quit out on me just after the final whistle went in ranked matches, and neither of the wins were registered :mad:

Dunnie1982

I've often lost matches by 8 goals or more but have never quit, you learn from your mistakes & it makes you better. Its really annoying. Also when people roar down the headset at you when you are playing is very annoying (especially as my headset is broken & I can't tell them to shut up), I know you can mute them but sometimes you can still hear them. Still though only a few minor flaws in an otherwise top class online game.

Dancor

I played 7 games yesterday. I lost 2 and the rest quit on me :mad: I was having a good day yesterday, Going ahead and looking certain to win then they just quit! Not one win on my record from yesterday when there could have been 5.

That sums up most ranked games for me! Any game I am losing, I play it till the end, and normally have a rematch if it was a close game.

I was beating one guy 5 nil, and he kept playing and then quit in the 90th minute...Sickened I was...

Another guy i had just beat in a close game, quit once the game had ended and it was on the Man of the Match screen, and the game wasnt logged as a win for me...Even more sickened

Dancor

The last game was the worste for me. I was Brazil and my opponent was Spain. He had a good rep and plenty of points so I thought he wouldnt quit. Somehow I went 2 nil up in the first few mins with 2 crackers from Kaka then the swine just quit. :mad: I will admit now that I have quit before, but only because the game was acting funny and moving very slow. I would always write to them and apologise for that. I have taken a 12 nil beating too and still didnt quit. I feel like giving them a big lecture about why not to quit and dont enter a game if you have no intentions to continue :mad: They should be made reset there console if they leave a game.

If he quit at 2-0, then it would have gone down as a 3-0 win to you.

if anyone quits before 3-0 then ,it goes down as that.

if they quit at 5-0, 6-1, 7-0 etc.... it still goes down in the HUB at what they quit.

Nope, out of all the people that quit on me, I never once got the 3-0 win in my stats, and I always wait in the game after they quit for a minute or 2 before exiting. My Stats is nearly all losses, cause I dont quit when losing and nearly every oppenent in ranked matches quits when they go behind.

As above, this is not true. They dont show up as anything. Im sick of even slagging them off for quitting. I just avoid them. 3 games this evening after work, 3 quits on me :mad:

yer talking about fifa 09 yea? ps3?

well, it does work for me anyway. ranked matches yea?
it shows up in my player hub anyway.

i just w8 1 or 2 min after the guy has quit on me and then press ok and it gives me a win straight away...it works for me atleast....

The latest thing now seems to be get a 1-0 lead and knock the ball around the back for the remainder of the match:mad:

sd08

It can be even worse on clubs. A while back people would quit on us and the match wouldn't even go on our recent games lists, or when you're winning and 1 player gets disconnected so you get a loss, what is up with that? And then there's the losers who start to score own goals when they're losing, winning 5-0 so they decide to do this, final score 15-0, although we weren't complaining:p

JokerD

Its happening again:mad: there is no point in going in 3-0 up at half time or sometimes even 2-0, any bit of skill at all has people wishing they never turned on the game. I have to say it has ruined FIFA competively this year for me

joe123

If someone quits on you just check the gamercard and if it says there "loosing 2-0" or whatever wait a minute and it will eventually say offline or enjoying the arena or something. You will get the win then as everytime ive got the win.

Some people will always quit if there loosing but what can be reeaaaaaaallly irritating is when you play someone and they feel the need to either do a celebration after every goal, watch every highlight or take an age to skip highlights etc.

I never quit in Fifa. Only times I ever quit is when the guy im playing continuously feels the need to do a long celebration or watch every highlight. Celebrations should be taken out of the game entirely imo.

It's not that easy on PS3 though because you can only see their name on the recent players section with no information on what they're doing, also when you see the ''connection with your opponent has been lost'' message your first instinct is to press X and get on with it.

go to players met/ where your friends are, and you will see the last person you played.

I dont see a problem with this. Its common to keep the ball when you have a lead. Also dont have a problem with people tearing you out of it when your in on goal. They will most likely be sent off for being the last man, they are just defending, again this is just part of the real game.

Brimmy

I don't have a problem with taking the last man out either. Online though I really only do it when I'm playing one friend in particular (who ALWAYS does it to me) and we have the headsets on so it usually ends up being a good laugh.

I really can't stand the celebrations and highlight watching though. Was playing a guy today Rangers -v- Spurs (I was Rangers) and was losing 3-0 when his connection dropped. Which I'm sure was annoying for him seeing as he was winning.
