There are new leaks from the beta of FIFA 18: Apparently, inactivity in online games will not be tolerated.
These days, the closed beta of FIFA 18 is running. Selected players from the USA and the UK are allowed to preview some content before the launch and provide feedback to EA Sports.
In fact, the developers prohibit beta participants from publicly discussing the beta or releasing footage from it. Still, numerous leaks from users who seem to view the rules a bit more loosely than others have already appeared in the Reddit forum.
What is the gameplay like in FIFA 18?
Some users report that they are struggling with the gameplay of the upcoming football simulation. It feels “damn slow and sluggish.” One user speculates that this might be because it’s just a beta. Another argues that player ratings in FIFA 18 now affect professionals differently, making some virtual players slower than last year.
How “credible” these statements are, we cannot verify at the moment. At the latest, with the demo of FIFA 18, all interested fans can get their own impression of the gameplay. After all, EA Sports advertises that there will be more explosive incursions in FIFA 18 than in FIFA 17, and that the game will be even more dynamic.
Those who do not play will be kicked
Another user shares on Reddit, that one will be punished if they are inactive during an online match.
He was leading 11-1 with 10 minutes left and decided to put the controller aside to grab something to eat. When he returned, there was a message on the screen stating that he had been punished for inactivity and that the game would be counted as a loss.
This is supposed to happen only in online matches. How long one can be inactive before receiving a loss is not known.
Those who decide to score multiple own goals out of frustration are apparently also directly penalized with a loss. Anyone who causes more than three own goals arbitrarily will be kicked.
Keep in mind that this information is not official but was shared by users in the Reddit forum. EA Sports may adjust one or the other thing before the release on September 29. The future will tell.
