Matchmaking

Question

Ive been playing since NHL 24 and currently playing NHL26. Ive noticed one big thing thats been consistently a problem in the WOC, and that is match making. There needs to be a better system laid out to help match against evenly leveled teams. Silvers should not be playing with golds, golds should not play against unranked teams. Ive heard several teams complain about it. Many players upset over trying to play.

Lobbies are also full of bugs frequently that I have to restart the game

Can something be done???

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.&nbsp;Playoffs (finals) are separate however.&nbsp;
So if the player/club numbers increase, perhaps they would have two separate tiers (pro being divs 10-6 and elite 5-1) again for regular season matchmaking.&nbsp;

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