Interesting games tonight trying to do some of the Serie A objectives in MM.

-I'm Div 9, 300 Skill Rating and got matched with a player with two Red Pick players in his lineup-not great ones, but still, to even get Red Picks you have to be winning games in WL. I'm still 500 points from earning a qualification. Actually felt good to hold him to 5 goals.

-Played a match against a Co-op tandem. Yeah, that's fair.

-One BB miniature ball, one brown ball in a dark stadium.

-Last game I lost in the 95th minute when the screen was 90+1

I'm pretty sure I can't get the 15 wins, but will still try to finish the other objectives to hope for some pack luck.

    Thought you could turn off, playing against co-op when youre solo queuing also don't be rapid to start games, I always check how my connection is before starting.

    That's scummy and I don't know how you can work around that other than try to always get home games and search again if youre away

    That's been in game for years and years.

    Only thing I can say is, if youre losing. Take a break and try again.

    you can see on loading screen if opponent is co-op and back out if you like

    I quit immediately when facing one of the stupid balls. It's not worth wasting time playing.

    I've only played duos a few times but think I usually win. Maybe have just been lucky.

    The different balls suck. I really hope it is taken out of the game soon.

    I did hope ball juggling would leave also but having seen EA's own best goals they aren't going anywhere.

    I found the Serie A objective a real slogg also. I just ground it out, and quit when behind or against somebody winding me up. Friendlies allow you to back out, no point playing full games when there is no penalty not to.

    Yep and why objectives need to stay in friendlies too. Leave rivals and WL purely for your best effort.

    I finally finished the serie A objective yesterday, just in time. Still haven’t done any of the EFL, Eredivisie and MLS ones but I don’t think they are going anywhere.

    As others have said I would just quit in MM if you think you have no chance of winning a game as no penalty for doing it. I would certainly quit if anyone is using the tiny or impossible to see balls. Personally I find I normally win against people playing co-op and don’t think someone having a couple of low rated reds mean they are necessarily particularly good. Once you have qualified for WL you should easily pick up a couple a week if you play it.

    Yeah, if they pause in the first minute, I just back out. The enough sweat in other modes.

    I got caught out playing a co-op in Friendlies the other day (I didn’t realise it could happen), I got utterly demolished, four down in twenty minutes, that was a very quick lesson for me to learn.

    Overall though, I’ve really enjoyed the MM and Silver objectives. I do a lot lot better than in Rivals and WL, I like to tell myself it’s because they’re real levellers ;).

    The only one I struggled with was the La Liga one, I just couldn’t get my side to work for me, and it took what felt like an age.
