Fifa 08 cheating

    Was playing an online game of Fifa 08, playing some class football and I got 3-0 uo, then the other player quits. But when I check my stats, that game didnt come up. Has the other player just cheated me out of a game?

    This happened me a few times against 300k + points players. Im not sure how they do it, but they must cheat out of losing.:mad:

    Sometimes on FIFA 08, little idiots who cant take a loss and should be allowed to interact with others, quit the game to protect their PRECIOUS rank.

    In about 8/10 cases you will get the standard 3-0 win and +50 rank points. But unfortunatley sometimes the EA server doesnt recognise it and they get off scott free.

    Also, if a player quits within the first 20mins then no record of the game is kept, this is to allow someone to quit if it is too laggy.

    Also, Cyber Waste, unfortunatley there is a disconnection trick that allows players to con the server into thinking that both servers dropped (ie.for Xbox Live maintenance) and no record of the game is kept. People who know the game well enough like myself know this nasty little trick, the difference is that some people dont care if they lose 1 match to a better player.

    Also, give it time. The EA servers can take up to 24 hours to credit you with a win. I have often been quit on, gone to MY CAREER, seen no win and gone on a big rant, only to check again 5 mins later and see my 3-0 win there.

    I dont play Ranked anymore, i went 12 wins 0 losses in the first week of the games release and then got fed up with quitters and D/C tricks, ive got enough honest top quality players on my friends list to have good unranked games.

    Sadly this happens alot in Fifa bud.It might sound odd but when i play against a higher rank i'd play with little effort til after the 20 min mark... tho most times it can last til the 90th minute lmao,after 20 mins if they quit i think you get the win.
    Its a pain in the arse when someone quits,i see it alot when your outplaying them :mad: *cough cough* Yanks & Brits !!!
