Re: World of Chel population

@HighTmatthew 

Part of the population issue is also that there are a very high amount of players in club games instead of drop-ins. That's going to reduce the available player pool for drop-in games. Plus, you can fill in on clubs as a free agent. This will further shrink the 6v6 drop-in population. My club hasn't had a problem finding games on Xbox One quickly, but I imagine if we all switch to drop-ins, that would be a different experience.

    @EA_Aljo Yeah the problem is greatly improved this year with clubs I have noticed. Played PS4 version last year with my friends and it took probably 3 or 4x longer to find games than currently on next gen.

    I think the devs have done nearly all they can with the matchmaking to make it fast as possible(maybe menu speeds/load times could be increased in future), at this point its on EA higher ups to get more people actually playing the game by making the WOC free to play separate from full NHL game. That would be a huge undertaking but I think thats the future if we wanna grow the game.
