Re: Unfair Matchmaking in Ultimate Team Division Rivals

@xCrazyBanditsx It’s not locked to your division. It also takes into account your location and platform. If you have cross play on you will probably get better matchups but a lot turn it off to avoid cheaters.

    @RadioShaqs Honestly, I couldn’t care less if cross-play is on or off. The main issue here is the absurd, uncontrollable matchmaking system! I keep getting matched with much stronger players, and a lot of them turn out to be downright toxic, openly mocking me once they see the skill gap. These are the current realities of this game—it seems like respectful players are nowhere to be found anymore.

    Has anyone else experienced this kind of toxic behavior? Does EA even understand how much this affects the community atmosphere?

    Yeah I'm having the same, the first season wasn't to bad the matchmaking was quite equal but this season has been a joke, maybe 1 /10 games I are playable, I think most of the players at our skill level have stopped playing  already because the game is a shambles and it's  just getting worse.

    I was waiting  for the new season to start but tbh I think I've had enough and don't think I'll make Christmas for the second year in a row.

    The franchise is dead. Imo EA don't care about the game or the community just rake in the profits and stick 2 fingers up. I won't be buying 26 unless they overhaul it completely 

    @RadioShaqs what's the point of divisions if they don't fix you're games to the division you're in. It's  like a top PL team playing  a DIV 3 team, its just pointless .

    Like the rest of the game they're trying to force out the casual players out or trying  to make us  buy packs.

  • I lost about 100 games this week. Its unbelievable. I don't care anymore. Will not buy the game anymore in the future. They do not care about casual players like me.

    I'm not sure you're a casual player if you've played (and lost) at least 100 games in a week. All boils down to definitions though, which is a thread I started a while back :-)

    @Baldbag It’s probably down to population. If you get matched within a few seconds or have to wait. The longer you wait the wider it will search. It also stops people from rovering too. You are also playing people who are rovering and not really in a higher division.

    Task 1 when setting up any kind of online game at all where people match together is to ensure a decent balance of opponents on as frequent a basis as possible. 

    EA have never managed this, nowhere near.  That they offer rewards for finishing games just encourages AFK.  I certainly don't feel obliged to complete a full game when 3 down early on to a vastly superior opponent. 

    This is the No1 fault in this game.

    AI got full controll of the game! Its much more easy for EA to make money! Unplayable game! Just time whaisting. Scripted, manipulated, the only way we can stop this is, to dont invest anymore on EA games! Its a joke company
