Road to CFP is truly a grind lacking fun
Whelp... You would think that playing your first Road to CFP National Championship Game EA would at least make that matchup fair.....🤣 Who am I kidding....they don't want people winning and having ...

Would so appreciate if can get someone to address and fix this. RTTCFP was working well and fun prior to the latest update.
It's now nothing but tier 1 team after another and the fun has been taken away. No variety and huge step back in competitive balance.
Lower tier teams shouldn't be punished by playing tier 1 powerhouse teams in playoffs.
Matchmaking needs to be restored to how it was.

Community Managerubiquitousnobody It happens every single time, as though the last update changed it completely? I mean, I get team 1 balance vs your team and all, but past that, did anything else change on your end from a balance perspective, like you just got a match with a lot of rookies when you're in the pros?
Everything changed drastically and quite apparently since update.
Prior to the update:
When I would request to play a certain tier, I would majority of the time get that request with no issue.
In the playoffs and champ game, I always played the same tier team as I was using. In my experience, playoffs were tier locked as it should be. I have a ton of playoff games played in all year versions of this game and I don't recall ever playing a team outside my tier in playoffs. (Way it should be)
Post update:
Tier requests are being ignored completely and majority of the time is playing tier 1 teams. Takes seconds to match with a tier 1 user, even though playing with lower tier team.
In the playoffs, suddenly play tier one users even though using lower tier team.
Tier requests are completely being ignored and the filter is broken at the moment.
Also, it definitely pairs with opponents who are in higher divisions. Has happened in playoffs as well. The competitive imbalance has gotten really bad since latest update.
Why grind in the regular season with lower tier teams, all to just play tier 1 powerhouses in playoffs? Why have tier requests if they are not honored? Why even have lower tier teams if can't play against other lower tier teams and filter out tier 1?
The fun has been taken away post update and would so appreciate if you could get the proper person/team to address this and fix it.
Thank you for your time and response and hope to get it resolved. Much appreciated.

ubiquitousnobody Hey, there
I am sorry to hear that the fun has been taken away from the game. That is unfortunate to hear, but I do understand why it would feel that way. Some of the content you wanted and did play just isn't the same. Totally understandable, but also good feedback. It shows what the community cares about and what they want in their experience. It should be a good experience, not a hassle or draining when you want to play. I get it. I played ball in high school, so I know what it is like to lack those specific areas.
I have the thread aside and summarized to pass along. It is always about telling the story and not just fixing it! Now we have that story!Much appreciated and thank you!
