MATCH TEAM SIZE NEEDS TO BE ADDED INTO 25

Why has this not been a thing since DAY 1, I get matched with 3 person teams when I only have 1 other person usually, they just walk to ai and I can't do anything about it because we should not have to watch more than 1 person. I should not be getting punished of MY RP and MY STATS because of stupid things like this. Either fix the AI d men or add a match room size. I'm trying to say this in the best way possible but this has gotten to the point where I am losing my mind over this.

    If your AI D is constantly being burned by speedy wingers, this means as forwards, you're not doing enough to stifle straight-line speed generation by your opponent. 

    Match Room size needs to be brought back and the geniuses who thought it was a good idea to remove this option should reconsider their approach to making changes like this in the future. 

    But, you can either setup your D for success or failure. It really all starts with how the forwards impede straight-line speed.

      In addition to this, I'd say if you're playing 3s with an AI one of your human players needs to be the defenseman.  The mode by its very nature generates a ton of odd-man or 1v1 rushes.  If you're relying on an AI defenseman to defend that for you, you're going to have a bad time.

      I'm pretty certain it was removed because of the clubs that only have 2 or 3 guys but play 6v6 were complaining that they couldn't find a game/nobody would play them.   Despite there being a mode specifically for smaller clubs...

      So does EA tell them to either play 3's, or just suck it up and find more club members? No no, they instead choose to screw over the rest of the EASHL community by removing match club size altogether, and guess what? Not only can those 2's clubs STILL not find games, they've now ticked off the entirety of that mode's player base in one way or another.  Classic EA.

        lol people have jobs and lives.  Sometimes you can't get everyone on at the same time.  Maybe you should suck it up and stop backing out of lobbies when teams only have 2 or 3 people on the other team.  My club has been on both sides of it, play the game instead of lobby hopping, cause chances are you just get matched with them again.

    No, it means that that the AI defense is still hot garbage lol.  As forwards, we can't try and put the puck in the net AND cover for the out of position defense at the same time, I've gotten so many "cover for defense" marks its insane how they're always out of position.  The AI defense should be doing their job, playing defense.  Instead they might as well by pylons, they make terrible passes and give the puck away leading to a goal.
