Arena needs massive changes ASAP

First off it's the only competitive mode left with OD gone so making it pay to play is  ridiculous but let's look past that for now. Just got a matchup on my first attempt that was me 2400 vs them 3000. At first glance that may not seem to bad but it's essentially an 80 vs 100 overall. That's an auto loss for me. They scored 3 1 play TDs and I had to fight hard just to score 14. So basically the game stole 100 MC from me with an impossible match up. These match up inequities happened in the old system but attempts cost much less so you could look past the odd auto loss. Now they are happening more often and hurt much more due to the cost of the attempt. I doubt the ticket system is going away but you could lower the cost significantly to make these losses more trivial and/or make it so that any loss in a "Hard" or "Very Hard" matchup doesn't cause you to lose the attempt. Whatever you do something needs to be done ASAP cuz your poor programming is stealing money from customers and we're not happy about it!

    @EA_Blueberry Well i thought maybe the 1 arena limit would help the match making but seems like no that did nothing, more money down the toilet. Teams that are 2k-3k over the suggestion are still prevalent. So still stealing money.... really it's simple return the ticket in hard- very hard losses. Don't know how such a simple solution is evading the intelligence of everyone at EA..... to sum up nothing is fixed, all the changes are just lipstick on a pig.

    @EA_Blueberry SERIOUSLY you really need to fix this! So i noticed i was slowly slipping out of the top 250 this morning so i thought i should play a few matches to ensure i stay but instead due to 2 totally crap matchups on the first of each, -1600 and -2000, not only did i just throw away 2 tickets (STOP STEALING MY MONEY!) But i ensured dropping out of the top 250 because your crap game made my receivers drop every pass i threw (why does that happen? Whenever i get a bad match up my receivers suddenly forget how to catch. Fix this) and ended up getting -10 due to the loss penalties when i wasn't able to score cuz the game cheats to help the higher overall team. I get that you want to reward the high spenders with unbeatable teams but the least you can do is not try to steal my money. This has gotten so bad many long time players have quit the franchise! There several simple solutions stop refusing to fix the problem.

    @EA_Blueberry Well today 2 tickets first try each -1100 and wait for it -4400. So yeah not good. At this rate top 250 is a pipe dream. I'll be lucky if i make HoF by next reset. Also same stupid drops. The images below are from the -4400 match. My receiver actually gets some separation and i make sure to throw away from the defender and for no good reason my 4 star level 40 Michael Thomas drops the pass! A catch he makes in his sleep this terrible software decides to make him drop.... awful just awful. It's these stupid little things that are making everyone quit

    @EA_BlueberrySo played a 10.3k then a 3.6k back to back in competitive arena today. EA needs to do something man, it ain't working.... also WRs still inexplicably dropping passes in negative match ups. Just stupid stuff happening... needs a fix

    Edit: and now this! I win but the game glitches out and i lose my attempt anyway. Thanks for stealing my money.... real professional

    @EA_Blueberry seriously the drops are getting out of hand. It's really stupid, just cuz the garbage match up software gave me a garbage match up my receivers start dropping passes. Please let the devs know it's really freaking stupid and they need to fix it.

    @drtydozen13 @EA_Blueberry it’s really bad. I decided to try the highest level arena this week since my team is now 6600+. The first match was against an 8700 team and everything since is over 10,000. That’s bad enough but then when my receivers drop open passes it compound everything. Last season Arena was my favorite game mode, this year I just play the daily free tickets cuz it’s not competitive.
