Why is the weekend league so hard??
I am 2100 SR player, Elite 3 player even on my worst WL this year i started 10-5 and still finished gold 1 with a game to spare.
I play rivals a lot and against 1900-2000 SR i win easily, not even close i am talking 5-1,4-0 etc. Only against 2050-2200 it's 50/50 and 2200+ SR i get destroyed.
Yes i will still finish gold 1 at worst but i sweat hard for every win, every single game goes down to the wire. I have to defend 1 goal lead or score last minute goals to win games. I don't understand. Am i only playing 2000+ SR players or what?

I’m the same as you and that’s not my experience at all. Although I play to minimum rank now so maybe it’s about perception whilst playing? You want the highest rank so it places additional strain upon you. I’m just playing so it doesn’t really matter what happens game to game.
I don’t understand how the WL experience can change so much in one week
Also if you’re finishing G1/Elite you have a good elo so of course the games are going to be a good level.
Jump across to the WL thread and you’ll see people with twice as many losses as wins. People who only just about manage to scrape S1 or G3, they’re the ones who actually have the right to say it’s hard!
In rival games you don't give a toss, you will still reach rank 1 as long as you get a little more than 12k points.
WL every match counts so you opponent try harder.
* Dont know with PS, but on xbox you gotta hit 2300 skill rating before you match elite players consistently in rivals.
I don't if it is matchmaking, servers, if people are better this year, if I suck, but this is the hardest FIFA for me
I finished elite with 2 games to spare last week. That's not my point. Shouldn't i be matching div 5,4 first few games till i get a good record before matchmaking top players?
There is only 5% of players in div 1 and out of that i easily beat the 1900-2000 SR players easily. But why in fut champs I'm 8-1 rn and already played 3 extra times and have to defend one goal leads or score winner in last 10 minutes of game. Only won one game 3-0 RQ, if he stayed he could have come back
Fake news
WL is full of the ultimate sweats that don't play rivals (after they've got that first qualification) many of which you're going to face now there are TOTS cards on the line
Not even mentioning that the game mechanics are so random, so there is a very slight chance of actually outplaying an opponent who also knows how to play the game.
Come on the Asian Xbox server, my gosh. After living and playing on UK server this is another level, insane difficulty compared to UK
The first few games where already harsh, I had no chance and quit early each game. Later a friend told me that I should not have quit within those first 5 games, as the seem to rank me and when I quit my rank does not drop somehow. So easy to say that I was matched only against people much higher rated than me. I am like Div 6 and played against Div 3 and so on and sofort. It was the same pattern each game, dont move your defense, and in offense just skill like there is no tomorrow. There was nothing I could do, even tried 5 atb for the last 2 or 3 games. Ended up with 4 wins out of 29 games - thank god I had not finish them all. The last game I did not play anymore, what is the point if there is no difference between the rewards of 4 or 5 wins - and anyhow I dont think I would won that one.
So what has all this BS to do with PES. Well I thought I give PES another try. Went into Matchday, the mode I play exclusivle in my PES day, were I rose up to rank 930 something and felt down to just above/below after DP 5. I thought, well we are in DP7 now, so maybe things have changed... Nothing has changed. The first game was kick off glitch long ball buy, the used super cancel to outmuscle even my Veira (was playing France), spammed long ball outmucled me with Auba and scored. No immerson, just used any player for any nation, well its legit, but it ruins the game for me. He was a Brazilian. Second guy was Argentine, no passing, no defending, but always blocked before the game registered my shot. I think I had lag again, as he was the home (host) team. With a proper connection, I would have led easy 2:0 because I twice through on goal but nothing happend when I pressed shot. So I quit at halftime.
PES is dead since DP5 and all hope there is is for the installment PES22, but the "New Online Football Game" demo or whatever the name was did not make much hope on 22. Plus I must admit Fifa offers more variety, there a goals where you need/must play special teams or nations. Goals you can complete to earn players or other rewards. Plus there is not that much need to spent money because you trade and SBC your way to good/better players. In PES I was only collecting full squads for Matchday, and spent a fortune on spins for IM boxes. I remember just spinning around 60 or 70 times for Torres.
Tbh the idot in the story is me. Nobody told me to first only play matchday, second collect full squads and third to spent money on spins. Same with Fifa, I knew Weekend League would be hell and it turned out it was. It is the people that ruin the games for the other people who really love football, g, nor does the kickoff glitch, long balls (with braindead CBs) or outmuscling players by using glitches have.
So Football Games are dead when it come to play online. You must be either a narcistic person that only cares about winning, or someone who does not give a monkeys arse about football, tactics or those things. The community is just toxic on one or the other end of the spectrum if it comes to playing online.
What’s the tl;dr version of this?
I don’t think you can measure it based on rivals performance. I have a 2200 SR however have reached Elite once and that was clutched that’s on PS.
Has to be a mental thing imo
I reckon I could read a Harry Potter book quicker than reading this 😥
Just proofs my point...
ELO and skill gap has likely narrowed significantly
Well thats my theory
Probably both true.
Only hardcore and I mean real hardcore left.
At least you have lots of friends playing Fifa. I just talk about it to myself.
