Playing online sucks against stacked teams!

is there anyway when you play online you can get paired up to teams based on your team ratings??? so sick of playing against stacked teams! my team rating is a 83 and my best player is the free September Ray Ferraro! I don't mind losing but sick of getting blown out by stacked teams after the first period? at least make a mercy rule or something where you can get credit for the monthly objective after the first period if your down by so many goals its no fun where you are getting dominated through the whole game!

  • The game does try to match you up with a similar ranked team at first but the effort it puts in is the absolute bare minimum before the flood gates open - this is to encourage you to purchase packs in hopes of getting great cards to stack your own team with. It's unfortunately the way she goes

    yeah, I get it I know its a business and EA  needs to make there money but it seems like everyone team I have faced so far is absolutely stacked I don't know how so many people can have such high rated teams barely over a month in the new season! I already paid $79,99 for the ultimate edition not paying anymore for packs for a game the comes out every year just to do it over again! I just figured maybe they could try and look into this and do something to make it a little more fun for all skill levels! they seem to want to push playing online because like you mentioned they know people will pay for packs but it makes me not even want to try and play online anymore which sucks especially when trying to complete the progression objectives and one is to win 5 competitive season games!

    I'm all for buying the odd <$10 pack to give yourself an edge, and like the fact we can actually see our odds now but cmon, there was a pack for $100 that guaranteed you wouldn't recoup even half that haha
