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

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.

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.

Hi EA_Aljo

I 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!😁

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

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
