Must Win to get stats is killing this game!

People are just quitting out of MUT Champs after going down 2 scores...this is the stupidest thing ever...it will kill this game!

Gen Z’s version of “if I can’t win, I’m taking my ball and going home.”

i get people quitting in squads after one series.  They throw 4 times and if they can’t get a first down, they quit leaves no me to play both offense and defense.  EA makes it too easy to just bail with no consequences.  Their should be a coin or rank penalty or something for bailing. 

grow up and finish the game. Losing builds character.

Not going to spend 30 minutes on a game I don't think I can win when I have like 5 hours a week to play. That's just dumb. Need to maximize my time getting stats

Great idea! or at least a cool down period like APEX...say 30 minutes and you can't play.

“you have to play me in madden for as long as I want” is a super weird take

I have to agree. I understand why EA would want you to focus on winning. I even get why they want you to get some stats so that way people are encouraged to stay in the game. I just don't think having to win for stats is helpful. New and bad players are discouraged by it. And good players are punished when the opponent quits.

Thats probably the best way to handle it. The more you quit the longer the time out period is as well.

EA  is pushing people away from H2H with this.  They will be left with a super small market if they can’t attract new people.   It’s insane

I take it more of a player base of a Millennial's /boomers mentality  of "I get a few hours to play each week due to kids/work/responsibilities; not wasting it on an obvious loss."

You honestly believe that someone  with limited time to play that is getting crushed with their 80 ovr team vs a  sweaty user with 87 legend players and abilities stacked is "building character"? if you are getting smashed then you are literally wasting time staying in that match as losing the game counts none of your stats. 

I agree OP the current system not the greatest and I don't at all get offended when a player Im crushing quits.

What if you get DCed and get the loss? you deserve to be punished for 30 minutes? i don't trust EA to be able to separate an actual quitter and someone who was DCed and got the loss. No thanks to that 30 minute stuff

I'd stay in more games if it was worth my time. Down by 2 TD's to the best team in the game? Haha, screw your stats, I'm out in search of a game I can actually have fun and a chance to win in.

If they really wanted to do it this way why didn’t they just give a huge CP boost for winning x amount of games in H2H or Champs? It seems so obvious to me I can’t fathom how so many morons are working the dev team.

Staying in the game down 2 or more scores is nuts if you are chasing ”Must win” stats, and everybody is.  To think otherwise or suggest cooldowns is silly. You lose, you really get nothing. Zero reason to stay in the game.
