Restrictive Matchmaking in Online Seasons
Hi, Can anyone playing the ea fc 25 beta please let us know if restrictive matchmaking works in Online Seasons? If i pick a 4 star team, will the game give me games with 5 star teams like Man City, ...

Well I know I've had it how much simpler do I have to make it. Whatever anyways, beating a dead horse, unless it's FUT it won't change
It probably comes down to population and wait times. If you need restrictive matchmaking there probably isn’t enough demand for it.
@RadioShaqs another one who doesnt seem to understand restrictive matchmaking. how do you explain the fact that restrictive matchmaking worked completely fine before ea fc 24? you mean to say there were more players playing then compared to now?
no demand? have a look at this thread. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Restrictive-matchmaking-in-seasons-mode-is-not-working/td-p/12998252
300 plus posts demanding ea to do something about it.
how do you explain that in ea fc 24 restrictive matchmaking is turned on for cup mode, where there are even LESS people playing? go on, i wait to hear your explanation?
all you people trying to rationalise EA’s actions but you aren’t even looking at the evidence properly?
- @dazzelecloudy Maybe there is less players playing it. 300 players is hardly enough to keep lobbies full.
I don’t know only ea would know the numbers.
I can say my experience with ut with bronze and silvers the population eventually fell off. When we started getting no opponents found it basically become a dead mode. They eventually did away with bronze objectives and only focused on silvers. Even that eventually fell off and now nobody uses either of those. No opponents found and long wait times can end a mode though.
Don’t forget that’s with ut that has way more of a population. I actually liked bronze and silver games and we had big sections on the old forums dedicated to them yet you couldn’t find a game for them. @RadioShaqs again, none of what you said here directly addressed whatever i said earlier.
1) seasons database isnt 300 players. there are thousands of players and can go up to 5 digits on busy periods.
2) even if there arent enough players, why is restrictive matchmaking turned on for cup mode where there are even lesser players?
3) if they want to get rid of restrictive matchmaking, why is the option still there?
the more likely explanation is someone at EA forgot to turn the feature on. or the coding is wrong. fact of the matter is this is negligence and just is absolutely awful from EA. Look at how none of the EA moderators are responding here. we need to stop giving EA the benefit of the doubt and gaslight ourselves
- @dazzelecloudy They might adjust it depending on how it’s going. I know they have adjusted ut over the years. They posted the bell curve and the population before. Yes it would be nice if they explained it.
Ut is based on location and rank form ect but isn’t always exact to speed up wait times.
Your focused on everyone else’s opinion while yours is also guessing. You don’t know the numbers or what’s going on either. So all we can do is give our experiences and opinions until ea either explains it or releases a pitch notes ect. @RadioShaqs hahaha dude are you deluded? adjust? seasons players raised the issue of restrictive matchmkaing being switched off in october last year. they did absolutely nothing about it.
yes, we do know the numbers. the number of players on online seasons is clearly written on the seasons page. we do know there are less players in the cup mode. yet the mode with lesser players get restrictive matchmaking.
do EA have compromising material on you or something? you seem completely unwilling to entertain the fact that this is a company filled with some of the most incompetent people ever.
- @dazzelecloudy Once you start with the insults there really isn’t a discussion with you anymore. It’s disappointing to ruin a discussion like that.
@RadioShaqs you did not engage in any discussion to begin with. from the start, all you were interested to do is to defend EA. i raised many points - about how seasons community was ignored since October last year, about how a game mode with less players had restrictive matchmaking switched on and the mode with more players did not, about how we can clearly see the number of players - you did not address a single one of them. all you said was: ‘EA is great and knows what they are doing’.
If you would like a discussion perhaps you could start by directly addressing what I said instead of just acting like EA’s biggest cheerleader
- @RadioShaqs and also the fact that they leave the option of restrictive matchmaking there in the menu, and then it doesn’t work! why on god’s green earth is the option there then??
you’d like a discussion? why dont you discuss that? - @dazzelecloudy I don’t want a discussion with you anymore. It’s not going to go anywhere constructive only insults.
@RadioShaqs Dude, you did not discuss anything in the first place like I said. Don’t pretend. Simply praising EA and saying let’s give EA the benefit of the doubt is not a discussion.
