Skill-based matchmaking.
What is the reason for secretly adding a skill-based matchmaking system? For the past few weeks I've noticed that no matter the division, rank, friendly match, etc., the game only matches you with pe...

I don't think matchmaking is matching you with people in your division; I think it's matching you with people from higher divisions because there's some "level" you have or had, and the game matches you accordingly at that level you had.
I'm in division 6 because I'm not playing or trying to climb divisions; I'm just playing against people of my skill level or better, and to give you an idea... I'm a player who regularly earns 12 or 13 points in WL and has been in elite division in every FIFA game 🤷
How is it possible to play against people of that skill level in Division 6? This is because there's a hidden skill-based matchmaking system, and also because I've been in Division 6 since the game's launch. Back then I played matches and there were people at that level, people of a medium or low level, and occasionally someone good who was going to move up quickly... But never every match was players on my level
So, in your opinion would the MM be based on historical performances and/or results from previous FIFA/EAFC games?
On EAFC 25, my best result was a D5, so am I now "condemned" to play against users who play D6, D5, or D4???
If that were the case, then it's worth creating a new account every year so we can start at a level appropriate to our abilities...
Maybe that's also why I find so many strong people with recently created accounts...
That must be what's happening. Who calls themselves PSN ID, "whwnzs123," Squad Name, "FFZ123" (Mods, these are not real names)? Either someone got banned on their OG account or they are smurfing.
The reason you run into people with ridiculous psn names is because of the number of people who run RTG accounts along with their main, most streamers have multiple accounts for such things so it's likely the people that follow them do aswell. Personally I'm happy just playing with one account, but some people run 2 or 3 accounts.
On another note my best result in recent years is Div1, but I'm stuck in the middle of div 5 right now and don't know why. It might be because I'm not running the ultra sweaty formations with the ultra sweaty players. I'm just chilling this year though, and I've already taken a month and a half off. I only came back a few days ago, but I breezed through the lower divisions to get to my current one.
I don't know if other people are like me and possibly took time to play other games and came back or not, but I would suspect that and RTG accounts are why you run into so many sweats all the time these days. There is also the possibility that the seasonal rests have dropped some people back down a couple of divs. That's the reason why when I first came back on I was div 8, this season it didn't reset me and I think that just because I had only barely hit div 5 before the reset.
RIVALS matchmaking isn't based on DIVISIONS but on SKILLS!
That is, if you've always played in D1, you'll continue to play with players of that level even in lower divisions...
It seems absurd, but from what I understand, that's how it works!
I don't know exactly what the method is, but it definitely takes into account some skill level and not your current division. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the same thing, and it's definitely proof that something's going on. It's not normal that everyone's getting relegated now, losing way more games and suffering more than usual in divisions where they arrived easily.
The game keeps getting worse, the servers have incredible lag, now they've added that weird matchmaking and you have to play 24/7 if you want to complete all the objectives... This isn't a game anymore, it's a job.
