Unfair Matchmaking in Ultimate Team Division Rivals

Hey everyone! I’ve been playing EA FC25 for about a year and a half now, so I'm still fairly new to the game. Recently, I’ve encountered a frustrating problem. I reached Division 5 in Ultimate Team Division Rivals, but now I keep getting matched with opponents who are way above my skill level. Over the last 50 games, most of my opponents have been playing as if they're in much higher divisions, and the games feel nearly impossible to win.

Out of curiosity, I started asking my opponents after matches what division they're in, and, to my surprise, nearly all of them were from higher divisions! It’s incredibly frustrating to feel like all my hard work and time spent building my team and skills are going to waste, like I’m just fighting an uphill battle.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there anything we can do to make EA aware or get some kind of fix? I’d love to hear from others who might be going through the same thing or have some advice.

Thanks, and hopefully, I’m not the only one facing this unfair matchmaking!

    Sometimes it’s based on actual player skill in game and not the players someone has on there UT. 
    also make sure you utilize players to there best performance for position in editing team tactics player role(R1) menu.
    ex. Playmaker++ two pluses is how well the player knows particular role and these can be increased through evos as well as well as adding play styles and or positions it all depends on EVO and players eligible for that EVO some EVOs are free and some cost coins or points.EVOs help boost your players even low level players some EVOs boost a low 80 player all the way up to 90 .Use SBC’s to get packs or players from duplicate players in club. Always use untradeable first, Use transfer market and our quick sell to build up coins for future players investments and last but not least utilize 3rd party web pages for tips and pointers on using evos and marketplace values as well. I’ve been on UT since well just say I believe console was still ps3 LOL ….ps and if you are struggling in rivals stay away from online tournaments that is where all the really good players go and it is for certain a L unless you are super good player and have a squad u know how to use 

  • The whole point is whether the team is made up of freak cards or not, instead of playing with a squad that is made up of completely tabloid cards with unrealistic averages like Zidane or Maradona, I want to play with chemistry and names that are in today's football. I haven't played with anyone whose squad average is below 92 in the last 50 matches I've played. I'm so tired of playing matches with people's credit cards, even if I beat some incompetent ones, I don't play with the person holding the console, but with his inhuman players. The competitive defense mechanics of the game are also very far from simulation and not fun. 

    Match me with equal overall teams EA pls, i dont want to play with these ikon or other nosense overall card teams. I dont want to be a part of this fc25 casino, just wanna play football with other players

     

     

  • This late in the year it’s probably not credit card teams. It’s pretty easy to have a top team by now. The worst way would be to match by your team rating. 

    Ea used to do that and people would just use silver and bronze teams to play new players who have terrible bronze starting teams. Silvers and bronze were more expensive than golds. 

    How ea has had to remold matchmaking over the years to make it better is crazy.

    The only thing that matters is that you have a good reason to not have to worry about it anymore because you don’t want to be in the same situation with your team anymore because you have to worry about that situation because you don’t want them to be there for the same reasons why you want to go back to the start of the season because you want them to be happy with the team because they know that you want them to go back to the start.
