In FIFA 21, there weren't any issues with matchmaking, even without setting restrictions. Usually, it matched teams at a similar level, maybe half a star difference at most. Besides, differences in player physicality could be neutralized with good gameplay. But now, even if you're playing well, the opponent just needs someone fast/strong, and no matter what you do, your players move so slow that you end up losing. That's what's so frustrating. Ever since FIFA 22, the overall matchmaking got messed up. Restrictions used to work, but now they don't at all. It feels like the sale of an incomplete product. Where can I ask for a refund from EA?

why cant you answer such a straightforward question???? how long more do we have to wait before this game is even remotely playable?? - stayloa3 years agoSeasoned Adventurer
Has anyone else noticed some improvements? I play as Crystal Palace - 4*.
Last matches have been OM, Ajax, Al Nassr, Argentina (I beat them despite being 5*) and Dortmund.
Not amazing, but better...
Albeit now just got Man City...!
- 3 years ago@stayloa nope no improvements. played as sassuolo (3.5 stars) - non stop real madrid, barcelona, man city.
for it to work, 3.5 and 4 star teams should NEVER ever be paired against 5 star teams with restrictive matchmaking. simple as that - 3 years ago@stayloa so there’s been a change - we can pick lower division teams (championship and below for eg) from countries again after the last patch messed this up. this means someone has gone into the seasons mode and edited it. why is the matchmaking filter still not turned on? argh!!!

Because they ignore it and have no intention of fixing it.
Btw Patch notes #10 are out and...... ah, you already know the story.,

For those that don't know:
When you search in Seasons with the 'Manual' filter turned 'ON':
1) Instantly when you connect to the opponent if the EA notification shows in the bottom right corner saying: "xxxx has joined the lobby", this means you are in a manual controls game, and, most likely, playing against an assisted player who is being forced into manual controls.
2) If the EA notification does not appear, then you are in assisted game versus an assisted player.
It's seems like a 50/50 chance whether 1) or 2) will occur.

there is no longer any fair game mode,
It's probably a simple fix, but hey, it doesn't bring any $$$
