Have you tried matching with a full team of 6s yet to see how it works?

I have not yet but I usually play 3s and we will be trying it tonight after people are done work. I have watched some chel matches on YouTube where people were playing 6's and the amount of human players on both sides were not the same. I know for myself and the people I play with we want the exact same amount of human players on both sides. If we don't get that we back out which wastes tons of time. We didn't mind in prior versions before NHL 25 if the search timed out because we couldn't find a match. It was way better than having to back out of anywhere from 3-8 games before you finally get a game with the same amount of humans. We should be given the choice how we want to match-up, you weren't forced to enable the match team size option it was your choice and still should be your choice.

Matchmaking will prioritize searching for a full team so chances are good you'll get one. I understand the frustration with this though since it doesn't guarantee you'll find a suitable match. I hope it changes in the future.

  EA_Aljo I just want you to know I appreciate you answering. I know im highly critical of the Game. I just feel We are not being listened too. Tons of people wanted the feature back and still isn't there. It was like when Hybrid controls were removed. Like what are they doing. We ask for stuff and get some garbage no one asked for ever like battle pass. A feature works lets remove it. Hybrid controls taking up to much space get rid of them till the community complains enough we have to add it back. All the Devs have to do is listen instead they just do whatever. I wish this Forum wasnt so PC where i could just go off but i gotta keep calm
