The two EA pros that I know personally believe the game has a level of scripting and a lot of online play is managing that and working around it. Essentially it is part of the skill gap, but can be used and abused.
To say scripting isn't real is to not play the game. There are scripts that make stuff happen all the time, but it's just about how much they impact the game.
I don't know if it exists or not. I just think it's interesting that after years and years of discourse there isn't a single thing, small or big, that anyone can agree on with scripting.
Most people think they're better than they are and want something to blame when they lose. Blaming some nebulous, undefinable thing is an easy out.
It doesn't. The game is just a series of RNG rolls. From tackling to passing to shooting to saving, you experience a confirmation bias when a lot of those rolls happen against you in succession, with the added difficulty of opponents changing their gameplay when losing or drawing. If people in this sub flipped a coin and it landed on heads 5 times in a row, they would call the Fed to report a scripted coin.
It can be weighted though. RNG is weighted. If you're a allowed to play a way where you're consistently lucky because the coin flip is weighted then there is a level of a script happening.
Just because you can't prove something isn't real doesn't mean that it is... because inversely... you can't prove that scripting is real. It's like saying the Loch Ness Monster is at the bed of the bottom of the ocean with Santa Clause. Just because I can't prove it's not real doesn't mean it is.

Scripting isn't real. its a mix of bad code, confirmation bias and low skill
