PUT MATCH MY CLUB SIZE IN THE GAME
How hard is it to put match my club size in the game? It’s been in here all the past games. It makes matchmaking awful without it. Figure it out

Community ManagerWhat is your room size? So far, I've had no issues with finding matches. I have heard teams of 2 or 3 with a human goalie are struggling though. Which, isn't too surprising since there aren't many teams with a human goalie and 1 or 2 human skaters. The player pool is going to be a lot smaller in that case.
We ran club last night with 5 players and no goalie. We would get matched up with teams of 2 and 3 humans. It's in this scenario that match club size would be preferred. Yes, we'd wait longer - but playing against the AI when you have a team full of humans is just not fun.
The Ai tends to be somewhat infallible on teams where humans have learned how to maximize them. We play club for the human vs human experience and playing against bots feels cumbersome and monotonous.
Yes when the team I'm on has 5 of us and we get matched up with a team of 2 or 3 we end up backing out until it matches us up with a team of 4 or 5. Need to bring the +/- 1 match club size back.
Further proof EA_Aljo and EA doesnt understand the issue. Same responses on my post. The issue IS NOT WITH FINDING GAMES! It is beyond easy to find a game in NHL 26, so if that was your goal, kudos you did it.
The issue remains, and PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY, is that clubs with smaller player pools, aka ArE_u_FrUiTy , or myself, where sure, our club size is 6-7 people, but on average due to work and outside obligations, may only have 2-3 people on at once, we do NOT want to play against a team of 5-6 people EVERY game. Why that is hard for you to understand I will never know. But playing against 5-6 other humans is beyond terrible, especially with how broken your loadout X factors are. Its unrealistic, its not fun, and it ruins the WoC experience. Or alternatively, if we ARE all on, similar to others posts, playing against 2-3 people is equally as crappy.
Again, in my post you said you havent heard people complain about club size/matching goalie. Here is yet another post begging to bring it back. Finding a game in 5-10secs is great, but if the game is just going to suck, id rather wait the extra min to find a club size the same as mine, then suffer with an unplayable experience every single game.

They didn't mention their room size. Which is why I asked. I am fully aware games can be found, but you want to play with 2 skaters and a human goalie. That's where the issue lies. There are very few teams running that same makeup of human players. Even having room size matching, you'd still have the same issue. That won't fix that few teams of 2 or 3 have a human goalie. There have to actually be other teams with a reasonable ping searching at the same time.
