Match making and Rank System

Words from EA_Aljo ...Icon for Community Manager rank Community Manager 4 days ago.. Rank is not taken into consideration with matchmaking. I'll pass on the feedback you'd like it to. The downside to this is it means there would be significantly longer matchmaking times so I don't see this being added..

Thought I would share this ..

Myself I would rather wait the extra few minutes before expanding into a higher ranked team .. would definitely be nice to play against other players of the same/closer skill ... Would make this better for everyone in the EA community

    I'm sure if the system were better matched im sure the chel players might return or still want to play but cant 

    Who wants to wind down there day with buddies .. some buddies that live in other parts of the counrty and want to game and chill and by chill I mean get stomped around by teams not even close to there rank or rp

    My biggest issue is the match making . Rank is not taken into consideration So you could have back to back to back . Bronze and silvers playing against Reds purples & blue elites .. makes game hard and not fun to play .. there would be alot more fun competition games if rank system was used  for closer matched games or even taken right out of the game . So there will be no elites looking for more elites.. at least everyone would jump into a game more fairly.. that is by far the biggest issue .. other issue pokes elite edges wheels truc to name a few ..  not gonna lie .. I use wheels and truc, the game forces you to use them .. be fast and hit or be burnt and lay on the ice all game the choice of builds is EAs not your own... like i said tho the biggest issue by far is match making .. not concerned about the builds you learn to adapt to that . EA_Aljo​.. also thank for your replies.. you seem to be the only community manger who does

    also thank for your replies

    You're welcome.

    I use Wheels, but not Truc. I'm a terrible hitter. I've adapted to using poke check and body positioning and am not getting burned all the time. Yeah, it happens occasionally and I agree that speed is too high in general, but my club has been good at limiting these. I really hope to see better balancing to speed/hitting so those aren't so exploited.
