Rivals - I'm Completely Lost

Guys I'm at a complete loss at the moment. I managed to get to Elite easily in the first season and I hit Rank 2 in WL (if that counts for anything) but for some reason I can't string 2 wins together in Rivals in Div 2

I get delay, like everyone else, but surely that can't be the only factor

Anyone got any advice at all? Any tactics?

    I reckon a lot won’t go back to elite and will stay where they are
  • I’m the same. Was 1 win off elite. Can’t get 2 wins in a row in div 3

    Why would anyone stay in division 2 to play the same players you play in elite except poor rewards and eventually some easier games when the season is close to an end

    The rewards arnt great anyway in rivals this year. Why go to elite to be knocked down down every season it’s silly.

    Is this ea way of making people get even worst rewards for two weeks ?

    1 relegation per week would fix this but unlimited promotions

    EA are so brain dead if they can’t see this

    Well, atleast u get 2 jumbo packs and an extra player pick in elite. Not worth it to hide yourself in a noob division

    Hard to some :smiley:

    Roving is more of a thing between mid and low tier players, not elite players. The rewards are significantly better in Elite. Not as good as it should be, but you cant have it all I guess.

    Yet some will still do it for easier games

    I too am finding it difficult, I literally struggled to get out of Div 3, and now I’ve won 4 in a row in Div 2, I don’t get it. How is the lower division clearly more difficult.
