EA needs to go back to community lobbies

I bring this up because the match making/searching for players is bad. It was so much better back in the 360 days with a community lobby with 50 people to make a game and join. EA seems to always try and take a step forward but end up taking 2 steps back.

And on a side note, for ranking up your player is was way better back in say NHL 14-15, you could either buy your boost or grind it out in be a pro to get boosts, when playing being a pro actually had a reason. And I heard they got ride of this because people were upset everyone would just buy the boosts and have an advantage, but buying packs in hut to have an advantage is ok.... EA took the wrong approach with Chel over the years and ruined a good game, and now they want to get more money from you at the store as well for skins.... If you're going to charge players for skins now then the game should be good for 5 years before a new one comes out, not every year.

    The only problem with the 360 days were the people who would join in the middle and just sit there, maybe blasting something in their mic. I remember there was a specific player that would literally just spend all night joining lobbies, waiting in the middle for the timer to expire, and he would have music playing or just his TV blaring. Made no sense, but we couldn't start the game with him sitting in the middle.

    In addition, on the 360 games you could select your position in the lobby. So people would load into the lobby, see all the forward sports taken, and then leave. It was difficult to get people to play defense. I like the way people choose their position ahead of time. The only thing I wish they would change is allow people to switch positions if a player leaves.  Nothing worse than a center leaving and watching the AI just lose every draw. Also give people the option to join games in-progress if they want.
