Issue with Players Leaving Matches in NHL 25

Hello EA Sports,

I’m reaching out to express a major frustration regarding online matches in NHL 25. As a dedicated player, I regularly encounter an issue that significantly affects my gaming experience: many players leave in the middle of matches, disrupting team dynamics and skewing the results.

To date, I have accumulated around 60 losses due to this issue. These abrupt departures from teammates and opponents take the intensity out of matches and make the experience frustrating, especially for players like me who take the game seriously and play solo. The situation is even more discouraging for those of us relying on our skills to climb the rankings.

I encourage you to consider measures to penalize or discourage players from leaving matches without valid reasons. This would help maintain match integrity, strengthen competitiveness, and especially improve the experience for everyone who wants to play genuinely.

Thank you for considering this feedback, and I look forward to seeing improvements soon.

It's completely unreasonable that, despite my Diamond rank, I regularly end up with Bronze and Silver teammates when facing Elite and Diamond teams. Most of the time, as soon as these players see the opposing team's level, they decide they’re too inexperienced to compete and end up quitting the match. I often find myself with only a goalie... and sometimes even alone, as the last remaining teammate also leaves. This inevitably leads to a loss, as I can’t win alone against a full team. Honestly, it's become unbearable.
