Drop in matchmaking NEEDS fixing. This is a MAJOR issue.

Question

- However bad it is for North Americans, it is far worse for us Europeans

- Every single search need to wait 3 extra minutes for a goalie that, in 3on3 a) just about never shows up and b) no one wants

- Even when it's clear there are a bunch of players searching for a 3on3 drop in game, it's not uncommon to go 3, 5, even 10+ full, 5-minute searches without finding opponents!

- Even if/when every position other than G is filled, we still need to wait 3 whole minutes extra, every single search, because there's no G, and, again, a) a goalie very rarely shows up in 3on3 and b) Nobody. Wants. A random human G. Especially in 3on3!
- No matter how much the focus is on club games, the reality is, a lot of the time, there aren't enough eligible players available and then it's drop in games.
- The way it is, we are regularly spending more time searching for a game than in-game! And that is very unreasonable.

Completely agree, nobody wants a human goalie most of the time.

And the option exists to not allow drop in skater or drop in goalie when playing in clubs but not when already have a party of 3? Why force us to wait 3 minutes between every game?

When matchmaking is successful, it often seems like it's matched up against relatively similarly leveled players... Which leads me to believe that that's what it's trying to do and when it doesn't find 'similarly leveled players', it doesn't match against anyone. If that is actually what's happening, that's very obviously well and truly brain-dead. Not the concept, but while that might (kinda) work in North-America, Europe doesn't have an active enough player base where that doesn't mean it's extremely hard to get any games at all!!!
No matter what the case, it needs to be improved a lot and without delay!

This year has been a nightmare.&nbsp; I just watched a 56 minute youtube vid while continually searching for a 6v6 dropin game and.... nothing.&nbsp; &nbsp;Running into the same 4 ppl trying patiently to get a game going and no go!&nbsp; &nbsp;Clubs works most times but my team isnt on... so I guess I can't play nhl24 online?&nbsp; What a joke!

Yes the MM this year is horrendous, but I'm sure we're stuck with it.
