We have just reset the leaderboard stats of a number of people who we have caught artificially boosting their records, including the No.1 ranked player on PS3 and the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked players on the Xbox 360.

They’re not ranked No. 1 and No. 2 anymore. They’re now ranked as low as it’s possible to get, as well as dropping back into Division 10. If we had a Division 11, just for them, that’s where we would have put them. If they try it again, we will take even more robust action.

Throughout the lifetime of FIFA 12, we will be monitoring game records and scrubbing cheats from the system every week. Anyone attempting to boost their accounts by manufacturing artificial wins - via any means – are easy for us to identify and will face a similar fate.

Moreover, if the means of doing so negatively and directly affect other people – such as using third-party tools to force disconnections - the perpetrators will receive immediate outright bans.

Fair Play – It’s in the game.

can you sort out the AI defending online its shocking remove it

This is boosting isnt it?

WONDERFUL....

I give credit where its due...good move EA!...now...back to work! *whip cracks*

Fix the other bugs/omissions/wants etc! lol!!!!

Sounds good, and keep it up.

Now we just need the Legendary AI defense in online (when controling the GK) gone. Set it to amateur to discourage people from abusing it.

If your fixing things why hasnt the ultimate team been sorted out?? Its seriously frustrating and i cant get any answers as to when it will be working!

Props to you Yash!

Also in ultimate team i am doing the opposite to boosting..Im playing matchs, The other teams are getting the win and im not getting any coins even if ive won the game..Needs to be sorted!

instead of doing stupid things like that, why dont you actually try and get the thousands of people actually on Ultimate Team first. SO ****ing frustrating.

Some problems have much simpler solutions than others - we're well aware of all the current issues and are working around the clock to fix them. Them moment we have an ETA on anything, it will be announced - make sure to keep an eye on this thread:

Will the error where you login for 2 seconds then get kicked back to the main menu be fixed in the next 24 hours or not, just so I know whether to keep checking the forums/trying to login on my console. You must know that.

AND LETTING THE AI DO ALL YOUR DEFENDING WHILE YOU SIT ON GOALKEEPER AND THEN SCORE AGAINST THE POOR TACTICAL DEFENDING PLAYERS ISN'T ANOTHER FORM OF BOOSTING/EXPLOITING!!!

COME ON EA

make this game the joy that its supposed to have been!!

Is anything happening to people with hacked virtual pros?

This is great news, that pashley guy on ps3 or whatever is name is was boosting by making him get a 3 nil win against the same few opponents, but I don't know how he was doing it. was it a two consoles in the same house kind of thing. I can't work it out, because you can't choose your opponent, unless there both going into a game at the same time hoping to get matched and back out if they don't. Either way they are very sad people.
