Re: Matchmaking has Improved but Broken Lobby Issue persists

All I want EA to do is bring back Drop In Lobbies like NHL23. Why is it so difficult now to wait for a team to fill up then takes you to the next area. Makes no sense. Just takes us the 2:00 countdown room where people can join and if someone leaves another person can join before the time runs out.

So hard to find a game and when u get people in your lobbie, it matches the same amount of people. It's gotta be the dumbest setup ever. Fix the lobby!

I really don't understand why they're so stubborn in not using it.
They've mentioned it being archaic, but if archaic works and modern doesn't, it's preferable to have archaic.
I did a poll a while ago and out of over 300 votes it was overwhelmingly (70%, and that's including 15% not having played with lobbies and 15% preferring the new matchmaking system) in favour of the lobbies.
70 to 15 per cent is nearly 5x the amount of people who preferred the "archaic" way.
