Community ManagerChanges were made with the intent to improve matchmaking. Obviously, this isn't working out as planned. We need to find out why you all are having so much trouble matchmaking. Searching prioritizes team size and goalie so you should be getting equivalent matches. So long as the player pool supports it.
What is happening with your searching? Are you searching only for 6s or are there less of you? Are you using a human goalie? Are you not getting matches? Are you matching with teams of 2 when you have 6? Are your searches taking too long? You're also welcome to get a video of your experience. That could help.
I appreciate the attempt here. Truly...and this isn't directed at you, but rather at EA.
But "Changes were made with the intent to improve matchmaking"- What? Match making wasn't an issue in 24...what group of schmucks thought removing "match club size" was going help?
"We need to find out why you all are having so much trouble matchmaking"- This honestly fires me up the most, EA can't be serious with this one. It's painfully obvious that removing "Match Club Size" is the catalyst.
"Searching prioritizes team size"- It clearly does not work as intended, we run 5 with AI goalies...we either get teams of three back to back to back...or it takes 10 minutes+. Friday night, it took 36 minutes to find a game. 36 minutes!
The thing that bothers everyone the most is the complete and utter silence on the countless posts on the matter, yes you've come out and said "When we have news..." which is fine, we get it, you've got nothing from EA
