    Why have EA not gotten rid of this?

    Eh if your busy why play go on at that time and play? People quit because they dont want to get the loss.

    To the op if you wait a minute or two before accepting the connection lost message you should get the 3-0.

    I played 14 games last week on Ultimate team. 12 of those people had "urgent phonecalls" or "visitors"? Suspicious how these things only seem to happen within seconds of me scoring.

    Indeed, but does the concept of "bollocks excuses" sound familiar? I'm sure it does.

    The world must be in chaos so cos everytime i go 2 or 3 into the lead people get one of these "urgent" phonecalls, yet they only last a minute because if you go look at their gamertag after they quit playing you they are in another game already.

    Like I was playing today n just when I scored to go two goals in front and the other player hadn't got a sniff of a goal he quits. N I txt him about it and blames me for dropping the connection. So I say I'll give you the benefit of the doubt back to him and he then replies **** at me, so seems likely he jst gave up. I feel that I cant score too many in case the other player just quits.

    Today I was playing n lost 8-0 to a guy ranked 1000 or something. but didnt quit it seems only fair you take the losiing with the winning.


    OK so you do get the win if you wait for a min or two afterwards?

    From what I've seen, if your opponent quits through the menu then you will get the win but if they just unplug their network connection there will be no record of the game.

    There are a few theories about how to get the win, like waiting a couple of minutes after the game, but I've never seen any way working.

    I've given up playing online now, it's pointless. I mean if everyone quits when they're losing then nobody will have any record :rolleyes:
