Pro Clubs - Second 'Best Match My Team Size' option
I am surprised that this isn't already an option after so many years, so I am making the suggestion here. In Pro Clubs, we have the option to 'Best Match My Team Size' which, when enabled, means your team "Only match with a club that matches or is greater to your player count". This is a good option to have for teams that perhaps want a more competitive experience, especially if they have a high player count.
However, what is overlooked is the experience of players and teams that don't have a high player count, especially given the state of the matchmaking matching teams of 2-3 players with teams of 6-7. As anyone who has played Pro Clubs is well aware, by and large it is a numbers game, and the more players you have the more chance you have of winning, as even 88-rated AI controlled players do not make up for missing human players.
As such, I think that having an additional 'Best Match My Team Size' option which does the opposite to the existing one, so it only matches with a club that matches or is less to your player count, is not only a good idea, but a necessity. Because the experience of playing with 2-3 players against 5+ players constantly makes the experience one that I do not wish to return to. It is unbalanced as, as I stated, because even the 88-rated AI are poor, it is also unfair. Adding such an option would vastly improve player retention and the experience for teams with few players.
I am aware that such an option could be abused by teams with a high player count, and to mitigate that the option could be limit to teams with only 2-4 players, for example. Due to the poor matchmaking and poor AI, playing with a team of 5+ players versus playing with a team of 2-3 is like playing two different games and they are two entirely different experiences.
The balance and fairness of the game clearly needs addressing as a priority, and I think this - at least in Pro Clubs - would go a long way toward improving it.
