Portal Server Visibility/Matchmaking Issue (low player count regions)
Edit: Matchmaking (via the multiplayer tab) is currently horrendous in low player count regions. Players are scattered across different games/disbanded after a game ends. This often results in players being thrown into empty lobbies which are populated mostly by bots. This is especially an issue in regions that have a relatively low number of players. Portal is NOT a good alternative because the Portal servers have a much lower tickrate (30 Hz). Also, not all servers hosted on Portal are visible on the Portal server browser, and understandably so, because the browser would otherwise be cluttered. The problem is that players on South African servers struggle to find portal games because there is no option to select Africa as a search region. Please fix the portal visibility issue and the matchmaking. Edit 2: There are enough players in the low player count regions for full games. It's just that the current matchmaking algorithm is unnecessarily splitting those players into multiple games Dice plzzzSolved2.6KViews71likes101CommentsPlease add ConsoleOnly Crossplay (PS5+Xbox) PC players ruin the balance and fun
‼️LEAVE LIKES FOR REACH‼️ Hi EA / DICE team, I’d like to raise an issue that many console players are facing right now in Battlefield 6. The current cross-play system forces console users (PS5 + Xbox) into lobbies with PC players, and it’s honestly ruining the experience for many of us. Here’s why: Mouse and keyboard players have a big advantage in aim and reaction speed. There are still too many cheaters on PC, which makes fair play impossible. When we disable cross-play, we can only match within one platform (Xbox-only or PS-only) What we’re (Discord community) asking for: Please add an option for “Console-only crossplay” — where PS5 and Xbox players can play together without any PC players in the pool. This would keep matchmaking healthy while ensuring a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone using controllers. This feature has been requested by a huge part of the community, and it would really improve the balance and fun of the game. Thank you for listening — we love Battlefield, and we just want fair and competitive matches for all console players.. Best regards. TypowyNPC.. ‼️LEAVE LIKES FOR REACH‼️1KViews44likes55CommentsHardcore XP REMOVED
Hello fellow soldiers! After playing more than 60 hours in the game, I was fully glad that in Battlefield 6 we could play in Hardcore modes and obtain full XP, as I prefer this experience to normal matches, as in normal matches, soldiers seem to be sponges. But today, as I wanted to join a game, I saw that now we only will have the 150% XP at the end of the game. Please this must be changed!! I prefer the hardcore experience to my normal playruns, as I feel deeper into the game. Just please, EA, bear in mind that this is not an XP exploit; it is just an official game mode made for real Battlefield lovers. Thank you all.Solved2.3KViews43likes41CommentsAnother frustrating PORTAL change!(8-20 players to start)
They've made another unpleasant change... now, to play without bots with full experience, you need 20 people to start the server, which is unrealistic! Because in practice, it looks like- you start the server and wait, alone or with friends, at least an hour for just 10 people to join! and you still have to wait doing nothing for another 10 players... Now, to even play with bots and start the server, you need 8 players! Which is also unrealistic because many people don't want to play with bots! Congratulations on the idiotic changes DEVS. First, you ruined the helicopter, now it's PORTAL! You haven't touched anything important to fix the game since the release, you're just completely ruining this game. Now even create portal server is impossible because capacity is inflated by bot farm servers that nobody plays because it needs 8 players to start and they don't even take them down!even if you're lucky to create 1 after 1h you will get server in China or Africa always with 150 ping!. EA/DICE give us full experience on servers where there are no bots included Custom Portal so people won't farm experience for free! and let servers start from 1-2 players because nobody likes to wait in a lobby doing nothing.If someone really loves to play with bots ,make it like is now - 8 players minimum ,so they will find people fast!Solved1.9KViews35likes58CommentsUpdated: NHL Needs a Year Pass With PC Release – The Model That Out-Earns HUT
NHL should drop the outdated annual release with trickled out features and move to a Year Pass model that updates all season across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. One yearly payment, not monthly. Crossplay. Weekly updates and three big drops tied to the hockey calendar. Franchise and Be A Pro finally grow because there’s no yearly reset. Money Talk: Why Year Pass Beats HUT Assumptions Year Pass price 99 dollars Base case assumes 1.2 to 1.3 million Year Pass buyers Conservative case assumes 600 thousand Year Pass buyers Seasonal Pass is three drops at 20 dollars each per buyer These figures are illustrative and separate from HUT, which continues Base case, conservative math Year Pass subs 118 to 130 million Seasonal Passes three by twenty 21 to 24 million Creator Marketplace cosmetic mods broadcast packages goalie masks 15 million Team Partner Packs licensed intros songs jerseys 4 to 6 million Esports and sponsors 5 to 8 million Total 163 to 183 million before any HUT spend Conservative case Year Pass subs 59 to 60 million Seasonal Passes three by twenty 12 million Creator Marketplace 7 million Team Partner Packs 2 to 3 million Esports and sponsors 3 to 4 million Total 83 to 86 million before any HUT spend HUT continues as a primary driver. If current HUT brings in roughly 100 to 150 million on its own, the Year Pass model adds a new guaranteed revenue stream on top. In the base case it likely exceeds the annual model before counting HUT, and in the conservative case it meaningfully supplements HUT. Safe PC Release and Customization Freedom Fans want mods and editing. EA wants guaranteed revenue. Both can win. Unlocked editing attributes body size hair equipment all editable. No more grey silhouettes. Mods allowed for offline and presentation while the game requires an active Year Pass license to run. Server validated license. On boot the title checks EA servers. No sub equals locked title screen. Offline token grace period. Thirty days for legit offline play then a reconnect is required. Physical copies if sold are just installers. Subscription required to play. HUT remains server authoritative and protected with weekly ban waves. EA still gets paid every year even from offline only players who mod. Fans finally get the customization freedom they have asked for. HUT stays protected. What Fans Get This is not just about revenue. It is about finally delivering the hockey game fans have been asking for across forums Reddit and Discord for years. With a Year Pass model features stop disappearing and start stacking. The result is the most complete NHL game ever made. GM Connected returns.

Draft boards prospect interviews and live trade chatter between human GMs make it authentic. Roster share and full player editor. No more grey silhouettes.

The hockey calendar finally feels alive. World Juniors in December. Olympic hockey every four years. PWHL integration for women’s hockey. Outdoor games like the Winter Classic and Stadium Series with unique crowd behavior and ice conditions.

Be A Pro that feels alive. Draft day presentations locker room interactions and press conferences matter. Post game interviews affect reputation and endorsements.

Award shows and off ice storylines give real progression. Smarter AI. No more lifeless teammates. AI runs real systems hockey. Penalty kill units collapse into diamonds versus a 1 3 1. Neutral zone traps finally look real. Puck battles net scrums and board play feel organic. Authentic skating and player identity. AI driven animations built from NHL EDGE and broadcast footage. McDavid’s hunched acceleration Eichel’s glide Matthews’ quick release Sorokin’s explosive pushes. Every player looks and plays like themselves updated throughout the season. Dynamic broadcast and presentation. Multiple commentary crews ESPN TNT Sportsnet regionals. Pre game panels preview matchups intermissions show highlights from around the league and post game wrap ups react to storylines. If Ovechkin is chasing Gretzky the studio debates it before puck drop crowds buzz when he hits the ice and broadcasters celebrate the record when he breaks it. Legends and Era modes. Relive Gretzky’s Oilers the 90s Red Wings the 2000s Devils with retro overlays and authentic commentary references. Entire historic seasons or drop Legends into Franchise. Fighting emotion and atmosphere. A fighting engine with context. A fight after a dirty hit boosts energy. Players smash sticks after bad calls chirp in scrums and pull off signature celebrations. Crowds chant boo rivals and erupt during milestones. Why Fans Stay Engaged Year Round With a Year Pass model NHL does not go dark after the Cup Final. Instead the game stays alive through the entire off season. NHL Draft. A full authentic draft experience in June with cutscenes draft boards prospect interviews and trade chatter. Most first round prospects are face scanned and in the game at release with updates for the new class added immediately after. Free agency and off season moves. In July live updates roll out for big signings and trades. Studio panels and commentary debate roster moves like TSN or NHL Network. Training camps and rookie showcases. September brings prospect tournaments pre season camp battles and cutscenes around players making or missing the team. Season kickoff buzz. The NHL and NHLPA marketing push in October ties into the game. New intros presentation updates and live content drops make it feel like a fresh new season starting not just a stale roster update. This way fans stay hooked all summer. Franchise players immerse themselves in the league calendar. Be A Pro players live through the draft and free agency drama. Online GMs in Connected Leagues negotiate and trade through the off season. When the puck drops in October the game already feels hot with buzz from real world hockey. For the first time NHL does not just feel like a video game. It feels like being inside hockey twelve months a year. Why This Works for EA Guaranteed revenue. Every player must renew each year. PC adds new markets. Even 300 thousand PC subs equals about 27 to 30 million extra at 99 dollars. Offline depth improves retention. Franchise and Be A Pro players stick around longer and are more likely to try HUT. No cracks or free play. License validation with offline tokens controls piracy while respecting legit offline users. HUT strengthened. Bundled cosmetics and event rewards increase engagement without breaking the economy. Bottom Line This model makes more money than the annual release alone brings in new fans through PC and finally delivers the complete hockey game. EA wins with guaranteed revenue a bigger player base and a stronger HUT. Fans win with full customization mods offline depth and no more resets. This is how NHL stops feeling like a side project and starts leading sports gaming again.1.6KViews21likes55CommentsWhy HARDCORE CONQUEST has not an official mode? [NOT PORTAL!]

Battlefield 6 is a brilliantly designed multiplayer game…even better than BF4 or BFV which is tough to beat. The only drawback I have found is when the f-word is yelled out by the in-game character each time they’re “knocked” and ask to be revived. Yelling an f-bomb every time is just unnecessary, and it doesn’t add to the gameplay experience whatsoever. I realize the game rating allows it, but that doesn’t mean its use is beneficial. I would only ask that EA look into adding a profanity filter to remove these profane phrases for those thousands/millions of fans that would enjoy the game that much more without it. But for those that enjoy the profanity…keep it in.1.7KViews20likes31CommentsVillage Life ; Childhood Game
I did some research and saw that EA bought Playdemic. I'm here to ask -- or practically beg EA to bring back a childhood game I and many others absolutely enjoyed, 'Village Life'. If even one person can see this and mention it to their higher ups I'd be so grateful. I severely enjoyed and miss this game. If there's another way I can contact EA and ask whether they would bring back such a classic, please let me know.Solved764Views20likes13CommentsFix the matchmaking in WoC
Hi, feels nice to pay 60% more for a game that is actually broken. Our team has played the whole week and everyday its hours sitting in the dressing room as we are connected to North America opponents while we are based in Europe. Matchmaking fix needs to happen fast. Just bring back the same options as you did have in the 24.. Please react fast as ppl are really getting angry inside the community because you cannot play decent games in EASHL/WoC. Also add the match my room size in there. Thanks bye.436Views19likes8Comments[ANTI-AIR] OVERPOWERED - NERF
You can hardly get off the ground no matter your flying skills, the maps that have flying vehicles don't have enough cover to ward off non-stop AA's and a whole squad of stingers. Maybe I'm crazy but the AA capabilities vs what flyers have available to deal with them is totally unbalanced and needs some calibration, come on lads.1.2KViews16likes37Comments
