SBMM rethink and other suggestion

Currently Skill based matchmaking on FC 24 is tied to your division in rivals. I believe this is a big mistake by EA.

 People deliberately do not play rivals to artificially keep their Skill level low. This means elite Fut champs players play vs 38 year olds with receding hair like myself in the “ friendly matches “. It also means these people get extremely easy games in rivals. 7 easy games and max rewards week in week out..  This makes the game an endless chore for people like myself who just want to enjoy it. 

My suggestion is that EA should base a players skill on their rank in Fut champs. Because champs is the go to competitive mode, where people actually try to get the best rank they can. This makes so much more sense to me.

What are your thoughts @EA_Darko, What’s the reason for having SBMM in friendly games anyway? 

Another suggestion, when the opponent leaves for any reason the person still paying should get a win. I play so many games where people deliberately leave when there’s a last minute penalty. I had my best Fut champs result stolen from me a few weeks ago by someone that left just before the ball crossed the line… 

If people have their own suggestions let’s talk about them here.
