Hi EA_AljoI would like to know and I believe that many would also like to be informed about whether the EA team has any interest in bringing back the match room size in world of chel? We are told that it is not easy to do but we have no information if EA's interest is to put back this parameter (which is very essential for world of chel). And to be honest, today when I saw that there had been a patch, I was 100% sure that it had been fixed. So maybe if you don't know the answer, you can ask them? Because I read a lot on this forum and a large majority of people here ask for it and we are a little confused on this subject. So maybe find out and give us a clear and precise answer so that everyone knows where we are going!?Thank you!😁

It's all so confusing and weird.

Kid... yesterdays patch has created a huge bug in Player progression where people are going to be MAX LEVEL by the weekend and EA wont even mention anything about it... The Dev team went on Camera and promised us they were going to be a lot more transparent with the community in NHL 24 and let us know what's going on and well never happened even once... So you think they will come out and explain why match making is bare bones now?? ya not happening. People move on match making is what it is not going to change for for this year anyways maybe for NHL 26

The major issue is that EA won't explain WHY the matchmaking options were removed in the first place. We're not asking about future updates, we want to know the reason behind the change. This doesn't seem like it should be a major issue, but the constant tap-dancing around it is wearing thin. It's things like this that create an antagonistic relationship with the community.

Lol I just jumped back in to check on this actually. There is no way a month past launch that this basic feature that existed for the last several years, still isn't in this game. No one in my club bought the game, and I can tell they made the right choice. The first week trial was all I needed to see, constant back outs, CPU vs human goalies, 6v2 games, terrible location matchmaking. Why why why was any of this removed , such a basic staple of competitive matchmaking

The NHL dev team won't disclose what they're working on until it's announced through patch notes. It's not a policy I personally agree with, but they're pretty up-front about it.

@EA_Aljo can we know if the EA team are working on the match room size?

  PlayoffErrorI totally understand, but maybe they could make an effort because it's really buggy right now and not enjoyable. We need to know the future of this topic. This is the most important thing right now that needs to be fixed

Sorry to burst your bubble but its not coming back... Everything is now handled from the back end
meaning no more team size selection or best server selection wont ever be coming back.
The way it is now is the final solution

  What is this based on? Is it certain information or just a pessimistic guess?
  I would like to get a comment from EA_Aljo instead...

Hi there. We don't have any new details on matchmaking. All I can tell you is that we're aware of the feedback and are continuing to work on improvements.

  Do we know if it was removed or if some thing new added to the game that is preventing EA from putting it back in the game? We just want to know what is going on as this is disappointing
