Forfeit for leading team

AleDelPiero10 · 06-01-2009, 10:56 PM

I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I think it's a bit silly how if the player/s controlling the leading team in a match disconnects they end up with a loss.

For what reason would a player purposely quit a match when he/she/they are winning? Unless it's by accident or due to an emergency then I really can't think of one.

Because of this, I think if the team in the lead disconnects the match it should be void and treated as if no match took place. Anyone agree?

RAB SAFC 1879 · 06-01-2009, 10:57 PM

Agreed

seadrg · 06-01-2009, 10:59 PM

if you get a lucky goal to lead and quit before your opponent can get a chance to fight back, that would be a great reason for someone to quit. especially if you're playing someone who you know is good.

i think that voiding the game is a great idea.

Just get a quick goal then quit thats what everyone would do!

well over the past few days i have been ahead in games for exaple 4-1 up in the 75th min in one game... then it says lost connection with ea server and i get losses ... caused me to drop from 179th to around 400th overall , not impressed

Luxz0rz · 07-01-2009, 02:14 AM

Guys, you could be winning but, EA can't assume that it will stay that way for the end of the match. Many people come back from big goal differences.

LENNOX22 · 07-01-2009, 02:27 AM

i suppose its as simple as looking at the fact if a team are winning and that person gets disconnected .. then they dont get the win, the game just does not stand as a result , meaning nobody can quit when ahead and pick up a win ... and if you get disconnected when ahead the opponent who is losing does not get a win ... so nobody gains an advantage

Spectro900 · 07-01-2009, 02:30 AM

No it's not "silly". Wow wouldn't that be easy, score a goal and quit. Easy win? Are you lalalalalalaed? The opponent should have (and does have) a chance to equalize and win. I just don't know... I don't think I've seen people will the less common sense.

Adaaaaaaaaaaaaam · 07-01-2009, 02:32 AM

I agree, like earlier my mate rang i was 2-0 up , had to go downstairs ot get the phone, so i had to leave the game... i dont really care that much about my rank thats why i just left but it turned out he was like 2-30 and i lost like 100 skill points but yeah if you are leading the game, and d/c then then you really dont deserve a loss.

Maybe people would actually read the rest if the idea wasn't as stupid as hell. If a person disconnects, IT'S HIS PROBLEM. DO NOT WASTE OTHER PLAYERS TIME IF YOU'RE A lalalalalala AND DISCONNECT W/E YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

goonerrob · 07-01-2009, 08:51 AM

i think its a good idea to void the game if a disconnect happens while your losing some people could have to leave the game for whatever reason

O really, so because i read the whole thing before i voice my opinion then i am "stupid as hell". U have again reinforced my opinion of u, and its people like you who make this forum look like a kids playground.

Since when is it my fault when EA servers disconnect me? but nevermind, u'll probably read the first line and assume i agreed with you, no point in writing any more.

It's usually not a person's fault that they were disconnected from a match. I really don't see why anyone would be against this idea. Neither person is affected in any way.

killerford89 · 07-01-2009, 06:39 PM

yeah i think if your winning and you lose connection you should get the win.

Luxz0rz · 07-01-2009, 06:39 PM

When both players disconnect (when its not your fault) then the game doesn't count.

When one player disconnects (THEIR FAULT) then they lose. It obviously is your fault, your internet might be slow/have a bad connection if its wireless or you quit...whatever.

The score does not matter, its not the losing persons fault your internet sucks, they could of come back and won anyway.

No, because people would score a goal and then pull their connection. If you're winning and you're disconnected, the match should be voided. That way the leader is not punished for dropping the match, and the loser is not awarded an undeserved win.

Please explain to me how it's a person's fault their internet connection is shoddy. It's not like they can choose the quality of their connection. They should not be penalised for dropping out whilst in the lead.

And what does it matter if the loser can come back and win? They're not going to be given a loss. The match will be voided and won't be recorded.

Er, welcome to capitalism. No one is forced to use Tiscali dial up, Sky Broadband 8mb costs me £5 a month.......hardly killing me....

People SHOULD be penalised for dropping out. When you start a game, you should play it until the game is meant to be over. People want to play a whole 90 minutes (and et + pens if needed), I know I don't like it when people leave. Do you not think people will get annoyed if they can't finish a game of FIFA because people leave all the time??? These people don't want a void game, they haven't left the game so it means they still want to play the game. If the other party is not able to complete the 90 minutes, they lose the game.

In real life do Man Utd so "Oh but we're 7-0 against Hull, we really need to get to Barbados for some training.....can we go?". FIFA is meant to be REALISTIC. Unless it is a problem with BOTH users (game voids) then it should not void, whatever the score.

efterklang · 07-01-2009, 10:54 PM

Some people are forced to use narrowband as they cannot afford better internet service. It might only be five pounds in the UK, but the cheapest broadband services still cost at least four or five times as much as that. And even then, the connection isn't reliable.

People should not be penalised for that which they cannot control. I don't like when my opponent quits early either, but I understand that it isn't always someone pulling their cable to prevent a loss. They don't willingly cut the game short. It happens and there's nothing they can do about it.

And FIFA is nothing like real life. You can't lose connection to a real life match. Christ, are you really that dumb? The only way to end a match early in real life is to voluntarily forfeit. Losing connection is involuntary.
