Why people dont play rivals !

The whole construct of the game is flawed. Championship should be based on your division. And then have better rewards in the Championship. That forces top players into the higher divisions. For better CL rewards. Sure they can stay in lower divisions for easier rewards and may dominate Champions… but will not have the top rewards.   For the worst community in all of gaming, the way it stands makes the game less enjoyable. My son keeps buying it though… 

Speaking of wl people even do it in wl to speed run it when they are low on time. Even the better rewards in wl doesn’t matter. 

I not only have to deal with lagging every game, I also have to deal with ai assisting the opposition with their goal. It is tiring 

Like I say it should be just road to elite for everyone with no relegation if you play Say 50 70 or 90 games a season(assuming a 6 week season). Therefore yes if you are top notch you ll be there say in Oct Nov, good then Dec jan, ok then say Feb to April and perhaps if not good even by July anyone and everyone could then get to elite.  This assuming you play a minumum of games (season milestone equiv) and yes obviosuly respective wins as it is now but over time ahould be against not as good players.

How would you have matchmaking if everyone gets to elite besides a few new people or stragglers?

Should be random anyway outside of rivals 

How would d10 players complete objectives or even win a wl game?

If they've got to elite then by definition they aren't div10 players. WL nothing to do with rivals so not sure what you mean by that.

Rivals total rubbish as it is and needs massive overhaul.

They would still be normal d10 players. If everyone in rivals can’t go back eventually everyone would make it at least to the top few because matchmaking would make it easier. Then when you finally get to elite as a d10 player you would never win again as now you are playing everyone better. Then they might as well not even play friendlies or wl. It would be terrible for them. 

Also I dunno if you remember but the community asked ea to make it harder to move up and easier to drop back. The reason being people would get stuck playing to hard of opponents and quit the game. 

ea listened and added less checkpoints and easier to drop back with shorter seasons. 

But right now for the "average" player rivals is just meaningless get the 7 wins and that's it, try to go up and well gets to week 5 or 6 you know you're going back down again so is just pointless and not due to ability. At least before you would go down due to losses but not now, dont like a game then leave and get 7 wins as you wish. Hate it with a passion but say min to thurs there is nothing else to do on game so its hard to take. Just think my idea is the way forward overall.
