Squad Arena Glitch

I reported a glitch to EA the other day, and it still hadn’t been fixed, so I came here to see if anyone had reported it. I found that there’s no more tech support on the forums. It took me to another site where someone had, indeed, reported it.

And another player confirmed it was a feature, not a glitch.

Now, when you go to Squad Arena, the best-ranked player you can fight is always in the rightmost slot. This is going to be a player whose Arena team is 20,000 stronger than yours, uses rare characters, and plays with synergies that will crush your best team before you can play a turn. My point is, I would never challenge this schmuck with my current team. I’m scrolling through, looking for some guy with a 60,000-strong Nightsister team who was lucky enough to win a few battles. Then I can gain a few ranks, and the cycle continues. But now instead of three possible contenders, I get to see two, plus this guy I have zero chance of taking down. I don’t need that.

  • I’ve had some time to get used to it, and it’s not as bad as I thought. If you aren’t on the edge of a prize tier, it’s not a bad thing to get knocked down in the ranks. If you can make it to 250, but no further, then who cares if you wake up at 400? You were just at 250. You can beat the number 350 guy. You won’t be making it to 199 today, so don’t worry about being only 400 when the prizes come.

    If anything, it tells you how strong you should be at your rank. I’m fine with the change because it gives me another shot at the same guy. It’s a grudge match now.
  • That could have been another fix for the problem. However, they implemented the current solution and it works well.
