Ranking system for Online Vs.

Why is the Competitve mode in online versus limited to 1v1? I don’t see why you couldn’t allow any number of players per team and just add the  “Exact or Relaxed” filter. That way the Users playing alone can just play 1v1 (Exact) and the ones that don’t care can play Relaxed. The Casual mode leaderboard is based strictly on wins. So you could be 200-0-0 and someone who is 201-500-300 will be ranked ahead of you. The leaderboard shouldn’t be determined by who has the most time to play the game. My roommate and I both play NHL and when we are both home we play together. I think this should be adjusted on next years game or EA should add a “Casual Rating” point system with the same criteria. I also hate playing the people who Player Lock and just let the computer play defense. If the Competitive mode was switch to allow teams with multiple users in, we wouldn’t have to deal with the player lock.

  • There are just less variables to calculate skill in a 1v1. Leaderboards have always been pretty borked across all modes so I wouldn't put too much stock into 'em but yeah, player locked teams can be annoying to deal with.
