The producer of EA Canada Simon Humber football games, during an interview with Eurogamer, talked about the thorny problem in FIFA 10 on unethical users who often break off the connection before the end of an online meeting that they are losing. Humber said that the problem is complex because you can detach for legitimate reasons, as well as the connection is lost.

In FIFA 11 we will try to resolve the problem by incorporating a rule called "the 5-minute" that will pull the connection in the first 5 minutes of the match (it is not clear whether real or play) if the connection were to give problems. After this period the penalty will be applied to all those who leave prematurely match. Unfortunately, the development team will not make it to incorporate this in FIFA World Cup 2010, so the change takes effect, if all goes according to plan, in FIFA 11. We look forward to further information on this.
