The matching system for the Online Seasons needs to be revamped.

With the current matching, even if I choose a 4.5 star team, the probability of hitting a France national team or a Real Madrid team is very high and I get fed up every time. In this game, it is more important to play against teams of the same level than the player's level. The difference in ability between a 5-star team and a 4.5-star team is so large that it is impossible to have a fair match.

As it stands more people will eventually choose the stronger team. I don't like to use the stronger team every time. Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is now official. In FC25 many of his opponents will choose Real Madrid even more. This makes the game very boring.


So I would like to be able to select a team after matching, which we had until FIFA 13.I don't mind waiting a minute or so for my opponent to set up their formation. If I knew in advance which team I would be playing against, for example if they chose Liverpool, I would probably choose a team of the same calibre, like Manchester City, Bayern or Barcelona. I don't usually choose Real Madrid, but when my opponent chooses Real Madrid, I choose Real Madrid. The reason is that there is no team that can compete with Real Madrid. I don't like playing against the same team, but it can't be helped

I don't know yet what the FC25 design will be, but there's no doubt that Real Madrid will be exceptionally strong. In the end, the situation where only strong teams can be selected may not change, but it is still better than the current system.

  • @Soda_Kongu Totally agree!

    You can change the settings so that you aren't matched with international teams. I was sick of playing against France all the time so I changed the settings.

    I use Liverpool because that's the team I have always supported and 9 games out of 10 I am playing against Real Madrid, it's an absolute joke. It's so boring playing against the same team nearly every game. There should be a limit on how many times you can play against the same team in one season. I know with most people choosing to use them that would mean a longer wait for matches, but if they did an announcement or something in the game about it then I am sure people would be more inclined to choose a different team if it means they are going to actually get to play.

    Real Madrid can be beaten if the opponent is not as good as you, so matching against teams that have a higher star level, while it does help a little, it's not the main factor. I have been beaten by teams with a lower star level quite a few times. I think the matchmaking should be more skill level based. Like you said, with Mbappe joining them, everyone will be using them next season. They might as well change online seasons to Vs Real Madrid.

    Also, I am in division 6, I don't mind being in division 6, I am not a great player. I have found that I am being matched against opponents in divisions 2,3,4. It's disheartening coming up against players in higher divisions, especially when I need a win to stay in the division or to get promoted. If there's no players in my division available then I would quite happily wait until one becomes available

    On a plus note, at least next season we probably won't have to face PSG lol
