I was just playing a ranked game last night and I got IP booted for the 7th time in the past 4 days! The name of the guy who did it to me is NUTTYBLOCK612 on Xbox live! I scored the go ahead touchdown with 2 seconds left in the 4th quarter and I get the please wait message and it suddenly says you have been removed from the game due to network timeouts and he got plus 17 and I got minue 18 although I was clearly ahead on the scoreboard! This also happens during ultimate team games which is really frustrating and unfair because I lost contracts and cards of players that I have paid actual money for! I do not know what can be done if anything but I think this is an issue that needs to be dealt with! There is no reason to spend money on ultimate team until a safe level playing field and gaming environment can be reached!

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
I have heard that something as simple as having dedicated servers can put an end to this problem that is a plague to online gaming! I am sick and tired of seeing all of the obvious ip booters on the top 100 list in madden and nothing ever happens to them! What is so difficult about EA banning them? I can not understand how this could be going on year after and EA just does not seem to care because they never take any action to deter or prevent it! We need to be able to see our opponents last ten games! Show their opponents and the scores of the last ten games in the matchmaking screen before we agree to play them! There are a few things EA can do! I just want to get the discussion started! This is way overdue! -

Maybe some type of feedback system where you can see the reputation of the opponent before you click the ready button! Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed at this point!Comment

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
Had this happen to me on 2k13. Playing my team and I was gonna win so the person paused the game. When he unpaused it that countdown started appearing when you have a bad connection. He did it over several times. Eventually it kicked me and gave me a loss. I knew he caused it because there were no issues the entire match until then. No lag no nothing. I barely play online competitive matches in sports games due to stuff like this and people who have no clue how to even play the sport.It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.Comment

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess, EA is going to do nothing. They won't even give online gamers a "Fair play lobby" or put a simulation setting in the game, don't think they care that much about what anyone does once they have bought the game. Quite sad really, online play could be a much bigger market, imo, if EA would do more to regulate it and provide various User environments. Instead they choose to leave it like the wild west, a free for all, make your own rules.Comment

There is nothing you can really do. They get your ip thru a software and than use a paid or free booter to kick you offlineComment

I say get rid of the records way to many players care about being in the top 100 and will do anything to get there. lag glitcher's and IP booter's are one main reason's I stopped playing online.but again like I said get rid of records and then the cheaters wont have anything to do.Comment

Honestly anyone with a little networking experience, that gets your IP Address can ddos you it will shut off your router for 5-10 minutes. I didn't realize this was going on in console gaming, your only hear about it on games like world of warcraft and starcraft.NFL- New York Jets
NCAA BB- Connecticut
NCAA FB- Florida State/Connecticut
NHL- Carolina Hurricanes (Hartford Whalers)
NBA- New York KnicksComment

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
I think the best thing to do is to just avoid ultimate team at all costs until EA can do something to prevent people from being able to ip boot you and virtually rob you of contracts for players that you spent real money on! It is EA'S responsibility to insure that we have a safe online gaming environment where we do not have to worry about getting cheated or robbed out of our money and wins! Figure out a way to counter ip booting and ban the cheaters in order to set a standard of integrity!Comment

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
Sadly, i don't see what EA could possibly do to stop them. It has more to do with the way online systems are designed by MS & Sony than EA's servers. It concerns every online games (from World of Warcraft to Madden) and yeah it s*cks ...Comment

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
When you are playing cod black ops 2 you can see yours and everyone elses connection speed by pressing the select button. You see the green yellow or red bars to show if your connection is solid or if it is laggin for any reason. Can they do the same thing for madden? When you enter a madden lobby you can see the connections so why cant they provide us with the ability to see the connection while we are playing? This will allow us to see if the opponent is trying to use a lag switch to prevent us from using audibles or hurry up offense effectively. When kicking field goals many people like to lag the game on purpose also. If we can see the connection at all times at the very least we can document the cheaters by video recording the game and showing the connection dips at crucial times!Comment

Re: What is EA doing to prevent ip booting and lag glitchers for Madden 25?
i was just looking at the leaderboards for madden 13 and the number 3 ranked guy has an average points per game of 17 points for and over 47 points against... how can this be? this guys stats are so obvious that it is sick. my question to the forum is will this continue on madden 25? it is obvious that this guy is somehow cheating the system to get his name in the top 100. this guy has played 423 wins 126 losses and scored a total of 173 points scored for total with 472 poi ts scored against him but he is on a 41 win streak skill lvl 20 ... how is this group? this is not possible is it? ole two bowl jr has had to have cheated a bunch of people ruining game play for everyone. can this be fixed? can or will ea sports wipe this cheaters records and hopefully remove the reward for cheating? this is a very important point for those of us who love madden football and hate those who ruin it for everyone. plz help us?Comment
