NAT has been open for months and I am lucky to find ONE random person online after a good two hours of searching.
Few weeks ago I was searching with SEVEN other gamers and in two hours, only one of us got into a game with one another. The entire time was spent searching, backing out and trying again.
Decided to take the advice of opening ports and surprisingly, still nothing. Unable to find opponent. The same message I have been seeing for almost seven months now. There are over 20 people online right now, at least that's the number I can see. Can't find any one of them and I have been searching for almost an hour with an open NAT and ports forwarded.
So is it those of us who followed instructions that are incompetent and we don't know what we're doing, or is there a problem on the end of EA and they refuse to acknowledge it? I was matching with gamers from North America and Europe within seconds 9+ months ago. Today I can't even find 3+ other Australians searching the same weight class with instructions passed on from an EA Community Manager.
