Rivals Matchmaking Is Too Difficult and Unbalanced

Division Rivals Matchmaking Is Consistently Too Difficult

I would like to report a matchmaking issue in EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team Division Rivals.

I have noticed that my Rivals matches are consistently extremely difficult. I am frequently matched against players who appear to be significantly more skilled than me, making it very difficult to have balanced and competitive matches.

This does not feel like normal competition. The issue is that I am repeatedly facing opponents at a much higher level, with very few matches that feel appropriately balanced for my current Division.

I understand that Rivals is supposed to use matchmaking to find competitive opponents, but the current experience feels excessively difficult and inconsistent.

Could EA please investigate whether there is an issue with the Division Rivals matchmaking system, especially the skill-rating and matchmaking parameters?

I would also appreciate clarification on how Rivals matchmaking currently determines which opponents I face.

Platform: Xbox 

Current Division:  in 29 of June i were in the last stage in division 5 and now i am in 7

    PS5 is exactly the same — the game has become ridiculously unfair. And it’s not just because of matchmaking; that’s only one part of a much bigger problem.

    Imagine comfortably sitting in Div 4 or 5 for most of the game, and then suddenly, at the END OF THE GAME CYCLE, you somehow end up being demoted all the way to Div 8 ans keep loosing! 😂 What an experience, EA! Every match starts to feel rigged and borderline unplayable, but you keep pushing "the ea agenda" through anyway.

    There are some seriously dodgy processes going on here. The player count has dropped, yet somehow the gameplay has also become considerably worse and more unplayable. At this point, instead of competing against other players, it feels like we’re wrestling with the game mechanics themselves!

    It’s supposed to be player vs player, not player vs opponent vs the game itself. What an absolute mess!
