But EA isn't wrong on this one. The player base isn't big enough, I've been in lobbies where I can't find a 6's game for a good 10, 15 mins sometimes and just give up finding one, and a lot of the times it's on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Imagine if matchmaking went skill based, it would be even longer. I do think one problem is people who should really be playing clubs squad up in drop ins and just beat up on randoms thrown together on a team, but not sure how you fix that issue.
EA is absolutely wrong about this one. Playing Elite players who have chemistry is ZERO fun. It's not even hockey playing against players in different skill brackets.

I don't believe we said it was fun going up against teams with a significantly higher skill level. The issue with adding rank to matchmaking would mean some very long times to find a match.

Exactly like I said EA_Aljo would say longer wait times.. let's be honest here .. this issue has never been passed on to ea .. its been mentioned multiple times .. with only a reply longer wait times to find game as I mentioned he would in a previous reply above in this thread.

It has absolutely been passed on. While there are some of you that don't mind longer wait times to get a team more around your skill level, that doesn't mean the entire community wants this. We'll have to wait and see if changes are made.
