PLEASE fix the wait times
Jesus. It takes 3 minutes MINIMUM to find a game in 3s. Thats if you're lucky! I've been waiting 10 minutes and nothing. I decided to come on the forums. Man, this game has been a dissapointment, but...
Forum Discussion
We've only noticed in Drop In.
Someone said in here that ps4 and Xbox 1 is a higher player base but I'm sure I saw @EA_Aljo say that the current gen surpassed the old gen now.
That being said, playing on ps5 and u fortu ately I've been playing 3s the past few nights and we find games with 3 of us in about 15 seconds. Not sure what the problem is but club for ps5 is super quick.
There's only 1 way that you can drastically reduce wait times especially during low population times: The Matchmaker problem
(other than reducing the number of modes which will never happen at this point)

I've played on both Xbox One and Series X and have found club games pretty easily, but it seems the issue is more with drop-ins. It could be a combination of being on old gen as well as the new free agent option for drop-in players. Regardless, I've passed this feedback on to the team.
@EA_Aljo
From my experience this weekend, the problem is for drop-ins. As a club it was rather fast but drop-ins take forever even when you are relaxed and have search for club on. The issue seems to come from the ''search for opponent'' part as filling up our own side only take severals sec most of the time.....then come the search for opponent and it take ages.....as if the game had problems connecting two group of peoples set and ready together. Thats my thought about the matchmaking issue.- EA_Aljo
Thanks for the added details.
Could you all let me know which console version of the game you're playing on? I'm trying to find out if that's part of the issue. Old gen vs new gen and having different player pools.
Edit: I did just have a discussion with the team about this. They are aware and we're looking in to making changes that should speed up the matchmaking process. We'll have more news on that soon. Also, the old gen population is quite a bit lower than current gen so that is a bigger impact on matchmaking times for those players.
Bumping again because this needs to be addressed or even better yet, get them started on doing a lobby system and actually giving the people who play this game what they want.
