There were actually 5 topics on chipping the goal keeper counting as an own goal in just 2-3 days i remember a few days back just after i had posted. I score a legit goal 80th minute reading vs Real Madrid yet it counted as an own goal. It ****ed me off like hell i lost 1-0 and lost 60 skill points and then had to win 2-3 games to get back those 60 points so that was frustrating.

It does say cheating is not allowed but we dont know what do they mean by cheating. Is exploiting a glitch in EA's programming a cheat? I think it is but this thing should never have been in the game in the first place.

FIWC IS a BIG big tournament. Only because we are not being charged to play in FIWC doesnt mean they are not earning alot of money from this tournament. I am 100% sure EA is getting paid alot of money from sponsors like Kia Motors and also from FIFA. This is a HUGE tournament, Qualification is free but EA are earning alot through sponsors and Fifa. If they werent why would they give free trips to Barcelona for 32 finalists and why would they pay 20,000 USD + Kia Soul car to the winner PLUS a ticket to the world player Gala next year and 5000 to Runner Up and 1000 to 3rd place. They are spending alot of money on this tournament and they are also making alot of money from it so your argument of "EA not charging any money, hence not monitoring the tournament properly" does not stand valid my friend .

It is cheating to use custom teams according to me but the cheating is because of a glitch in EA's programming and EA shouldve released a patch or something to fix this or should've made a statement. Although they did fix this in the previous patch apparently but it isnt fixed still. Last patch they gave they said it fixes having custom team in ranked games but it clearly isnt fixed.
