Issue: Severe Matchmaking OVR Imbalance

Issue: Severe Matchmaking OVR Imbalance

 

Hello EA FC Mobile Team,

 

I would like to report a recurring matchmaking issue that I have been experiencing for a long time.

 

My highest Team OVR is currently 126, but I am consistently being matched against teams with significantly higher OVR.

 

Around 99% of the time, I am matched against 127–128 OVR teams. After winning around 2–3 matches, I am often matched against even stronger teams, including 130 OVR opponents.

 

This issue is happening across multiple game modes:

 

• Head to Head (H2H)

 

• Attack/VSA

 

• Manager Mode

 

I understand that matchmaking does not necessarily have to match players with exactly the same OVR. However, repeatedly matching a 126 OVR team against 127–130 OVR teams creates a significant disadvantage.

 

The problem is especially noticeable after I win a few matches, because the opponent OVR seems to increase significantly.

 

I have been experiencing this for a long time, and I would like the FC Mobile team to investigate whether there is a problem with the matchmaking system.

 

Expected Result

 

I would expect matchmaking to provide opponents with a reasonably comparable team strength and competitive level.

 

Actual Result

 

My 126 OVR team is repeatedly matched against 127–130 OVR teams across multiple game modes.

 

Please investigate the matchmaking system and, if possible, review my recent match history to determine whether there is an issue with how opponents are being selected.

  • they have a higher ovr because they use boosters.  If you look their squad, it's basically 124 with a few 126 players. They are nothing in H2H game 

  • No I don't believe that is the case about boosters. Whereas badges might help, I've not seen any "boosters" that do that. Also, I do believe that player pool is part of the problem here as generally when you reach FC Champion and if you do it early, you are lumped in with much higher OVR players who get there much easier than you might.
