Yes exact. We don't have acces to any group chat in the game so we can try to find players to play with... I remember back then we had the "Community" where we can find players to play with. A place where we go if we need someone, and be able to see his stats by clicking on his profile. Now we are stuck with the CPU or with a random player who can join which is often a player who has an average or low skill level.
Put the Youtube video at 1min50 to 2min12 this was nhl 13 and this where the players go to find someone to play and it was called "Community" and it was awesome.
And here a new video that i found about the "Community". Put the video at 2min20 and look how the lobby "Online Team Play 1-2-3" are full of players.This was the spot back then to find players. This is exactly what we need to find players to play. Instead of playing with players who have no knowledge of their level of skills. We really need something like this to comeback.
