would it not be better changing the custom game to like euro 2008 where you can choose a game type and it searches and finds a list of ones to go in to or do this on qiuck match as the current cutom game does not benifit users as if it changed to a search where you put in map and game type you want to play and came up with a list of them,then at least people could be able to find other members easier and the current system is putting people off the dlc conetent as if you had the above changes would make it easier to find some one.

Yeah this is flipping rediculous.
There are clearly people wanting to play the game. I also gather from various forums that more people are purchasing the game still.... so there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to find players.

I also think the search parameters are too tight or something.
I often find that first ranked game ill find a match pretty easily... in most cases... but then after that it pretty much won't find anything.

You have a great game... great graphics... gameplay is fantastic and the whole online premise is awesome but OH MY GOD can you please just take a look at your online team. Every game from EA has the same issues.

I agree, a lobby system would make finding and joining games much easier. I'll feed this back to the developers in my next report.

to staff would it be better finding gamers easier if ea removed region lock so you can play any one round the world would make the quick match find games quicker.

I wondered this too.
I think that the region lock is NOT the problem, although it would help increase available players.
I have no idea how the system works so this is purely speculation... but i THINK that when you search for a game it does a quick ping test and then limits your search based on your ping.
This could explain why sometimes... like the first search you do...you jump into a game almost instantly, but then after that it seems to break. Maybe it catches a bad spike or maybe it works out your average ping over the game??

well if they removed region lock would enable us or north america and asis play against eurpoe.
