They removed the pro and elite divisional separation for regular season searches a couple of years ago to improve matchmaking time due to low population.
Playoffs (finals) are separate however.

I understand what youre saying. But im just getting the game and facing elite purple rank guys. It was like that on 24 and 25 too. Those guys just creme my club and tear up our clubs. Shot after shot goes in.
If it was a once in a while thing like it was only 2 clubs online I get it. But there has to be a way for golds to play golds and bronze to play bronze.
