Fix H2H Matchmaking to Address Latency/Lag

EA:. PLEASE do something to fix H2H matchmaking to prevent ping rates above 50-60ms. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that it’s incredibly annoying/demoralizing to regularly find myself in unwinnable matches (whether it’s Division Rivals H2H or other player v player modes) where my ping rate drops from the 22-24ms I normally enjoy to over 80ms simply because I’ve been matched with someone thousands of miles away who sits closer to the host server. I’d rather wait an extra minute in the matchmaking process in order to play a FAIR match against someone in my region instead of enduring the frustration of an insurmountable 60-80ms lag. Your developers need only play the game under these conditions to understand why this ruins the H2H experience (which ought to be the best part of any self-respecting football game!).

    Since I've already covered this topic with you on the networks/internet side of things, I'm just going to grab some popcorn and wait for a response from EA staff. Given that it's mentioned daily by many people, it would be great to see an official post on the matter.

    Btw, did you look at your network? any tips that I've shared helped with the general state of your Wifi? Just wondering.

    Yeah, I’m not holding my breath on a reply, but it’s such a fundamental aspect of the game that it really sticks in my craw, lol!

    As best I can assess, my home network is solid. I read your post at the time, but admit a lot of it felt a little beyond my technical aptitude. Now I can’t seem to locate that thread. Suffice it to say I pay for reasonably robust connection via Comcast (my ISP) and my router is rated to handle the bandwidth. I generally sit in the same room with the router (about 10 ft away), so zero reason to think that there’s a problem with the signal. As I’ve reported, my ping usually registers in the low- to mid-20ms (except when I connect to a player vs player match), so that suggests to me that my connection generally good enough that, but for EA’s poor matchmaking algorithm, I have every reason to expect a decent gaming experience most of the time.

    dm me and I'll give you my discord server details, can run you through some troubleshooting stuff while we're both online. Doing it over forums will be challenging and probably a waste of time.
