It's because the population is so low that all you get matched with are the pathetic people who've spent thousands on this game so far just to have the best team from day 1 and all they'll do is figure skate around, spam the poke check and only look for the cross crease or glitch goals, it's sad especially with the teams these guys have. Whatever happened to actually playing hockey?
The online community for this game is so low that EA won't even tell us how many copies they sell each year because each year more and more players leave due to the fact that EA only caters to the top streamers and could care less about the issues the community brings up. The most recent dud of a patch further proves that.

It is march 2022 now as a div 9 player I get matched vs div 3-4 teams 90% of the time. 0 points lost when I lose in rivals. Will this ever be fixed?
