Please fix your skill based matchmaking

How am I going against people that are very obviously much better than me and why do I go against them so often I’ve been on the brink of relegation because I’m being put against people that have much much better teams than me and are very obviously better than me please fix your **bleep** game you money hungry company you can’t expect people to spend 60 quid then give them a pile of dog **bleep** you found on the side of the road and stick the name ea fc 26 on the side of it or even keeping the same from last year and pealing off the 25 sticker and putting a fresh 26 sticker half the games mechanics don’t work or theirs an insanely op card move or mechanic or so many bugs that even pro players experience them in big money tournaments and lose out on thousands because of it especially when you advertise you “listened to the fans” when you obviously are not as half the bugs in this game have been around for months and there’s even some bugs Im still experiencing that I had in fc 24

    I to hate the matchmaking on this game, get it in fut champs, first 6 games i'll win then after that its seems to just match you with people that are much better and then getting more wins is a slog. literally every single champs its been the same thing so its not a coincidence.

    The community isn’t toxic by nature, EA drives it with its poor quality game and the pay to win function causes toxicity. 
    but personally I don’t do online version and the amount of cheaters there are, but when I’m forced to I will play to complete the weekly, but have made it to div5 without trying. I have an ok team and beat many players using all the strats….such as the 451 formation etc and teams that are much better than mine

    but the game is floored because of the help the AI gives to some players causing a big imbalance in match ups. Some games I’m playing people who are very very bad, but the AI help they receive is immense. The AI will save them keeping the score very low with ridiculous defending and last ditch tackles, and intercepting passes etc, this in turn makes these players feel great but are then ina division way to high for them which then causes ranting. 
    EA needs to learn to change this help the AI gives, make it fair, and a better player should always win 99% of the time. That’s why there are divisions, so people will settle at their playing ability.

    That's the biggest flaw with the game. It's obviously designed to favor certain players, formations, and tactics.

    My opponents lose the ball and then have all their players run back into a low block. They sit back even when I pass it back to center field and recycle. This tactic also gives his players Intercept+. Or at least it feels that way because I can't even connect 2 passes.

    The gameplay is now predictable and boring.

    I agree that the CPU helps some players more than others. I can't tell you how many points I have dropped because his GK is blocking every shot. Meanwhile my GK has T-Rex arms. The game only takes it's thumb off the scale when the score is 2-5 with 20 minutes to go. I fight back to make it 4-5 in the 85'. That's when my opponent just starts passing in the back field.

    EA isn't happy that players have abandoned Division Rivals. Rather than fix the gameplay, they just nerfed the bounties. I no longer get reward point bounties, only ladder progression bounties. I'm currently in Division 5. It's not worth playing because I have to play so many games just to earn rewards.
