Bring back game location search (World of CHEL)

Searching for games has become a very frustrating task in NHL 25. I can not understand how the decision to remove this feature was made. 
At the moment people are leaving lobbys a lot when two team are waiting on the countdown to start the game because they see the high ping. It becomes frustrating for the people who is playing when 1-3 people are leaving before game starts and it becomes frustrating for the user who are trying to find games to go back and do anther search.

Solution to the problem is to bring back strict and region. Set one of them as default for the user to make sure everyone is trying to find games in the own location (in nhl 24 relaxed was default)
Maybe even remove relaxed? You eventually find bad ping games if you don't find anyone near you when you are using strict.
