I've been messaging my opponents, after every win my next opponent is an elite player. Lost the last game in penalties against an elite player with ridiculous reds. What's is going on with the matchmaking, is this intentional @EA?

    Something dodgy with it. Was 4-0 and played 5 elite players in a row. All my games today have taken ages to find an opponent which is very suspicious as usually I load straight in.

    Usually only play 1 elite player in my first 10 but 5 in the first 9 is very fishy.

    Thinking to lose 4 or 5 in a row and see if that helps the rest of my WL. No energy to play this WL with how nice it is where I am right now.

    I already know EA has decided I'm a G3 player, it doesn't matter what team I use, what formation, whether I play good or bad I will finish G3

    Tried that yesterday, doesn't make a difference mate. I was still only getting the one game against a similar/lower ranked player. After every win it's an elite player.

    During the La Liga TOTSSF weekend league I used a full Ajax team in a 433(4) formation. My defence was HL Taglifico, then 3 base gold cards Alvarez, Veltman and Mazraoui.
    It had been the EPL TOTS the weekend before and there were some really stacked teams yet I still managed G3. I'm a div6 player who can't skill so how does that work ?!

    I'm a Division 3 player mate, think I can get higher than that Division too, was Division 1 in every other fifa. I usually end up getting relegated due to difficult objectives. I'll be doing well to get Gold 3 this weekend with this atrocious matchmaking.

    I'm not normally one to buy into conspiracies but I've been matched against loads of really sweaty players this weekend. Lost so many games I was on -5 form and I was still against guys who were pretty good and gave me tough games.

    I’m almost positive at this point that matchmaking does not exist. It’s completely random. Any system EA tell you is in place is just another lie from them.

    Normally play my games a night but had some spare time today so played 5 games today. Connection as I suspected is much worse. The matchmaking? I am in a rut of W L W L W L W L.

    Get 1 win think great something to build on, then get a tough opponent and usually losing by 1 goal.

    EA like to treat you with a slightly worse opponent, get your confidence up, then slap you back down again with someone slightly better than you.

    Wtf is that pink badge haha?!

    That wannabe pro David Nobrega who has had 7 top 100’s and always finishes Elite 1 or above has finished GOLD 1 this week!

    There is something going on...

    Was 13 - 7, had three disconnects and a pretty rough start altogether. Decided to ask my next opponent his record due to him being a really good player and him having a similar record to mine seemed unfathomable. Turns out he was 13 - 0. Matchmaking doesn’t work and yet again, EA refuse to fix what is broken.

    Awful.

    I think i've been matched with at least 10 Dutch players so far. It's ridiculous. Some of them with God squads, most of them average squads but if makes no difference, they are playing a completely different game to me. Their players move soo swiftly, all of them, both offensively and defensively. My players stand still. There is delay in everything i do. If you aren't an elite player, It's pointless.

    Not the location of opponents but a) TEAM PRESS slowing my team, b) players pausing at beginning of match but not subbing,so that's another glitch, someone tried the disconnection glitch, some games players standing still no movement, thankfully my last ever WL

    Have had that pause at the start of the match numerous times without a substitution. Defo doing something to their connections.

    Just curious, what do you think they're doing? Downloading multiple files so the connection slows down?

    There's definitely some kind of exploit. I was 2-0 up dominating a guy yesterday. He paused, didn't sub and when it came back the delay was horrendous. Still won 3-2 but I was fuming.

    Every time the game feels this way for me, it's either Dutch or German opponents. Win or lose, its always horrific to play.

    I’ve been getting that pink badge for a few months. Only pops up every once in awhile.

    Matchmaking has been alright for me so far. Played a fair number of crazy good players with high rated reds all over the place, as well as the normal level guys. It is nice to play during the day though. I feel like my games have been fairly smooth compared to when I usually play late at night or early in the morning. It’s 110 degrees here, so not missing much with being outside! 😂🤣

    Dutch and Germans are horrific to play against connection wise. French awful to play against due to the way they play. Wonder why it's so hard to match with someone in the UK for once?
