    Re: Season Matchmaking Changed

    I started a new season today and I can't really see a difference. I'm still mostly 1k better in all stars than my nearest rival

      Re: Season Matchmaking Changed

      i am 3-12 post epic pack release, 4-4 pre....

      stats are high 3k low 4k, so i should be on the winning side of most but i inevitably have 1 to 3 people higher than me

      I am almost 100% that if i am the second best in the season i will meet the best in the 3rd game, if i am lower than that 4 and 8 spots are the next highest. I have never been worse than 4th highest stats in a season. There was only one time i was less than 2nd and that was when the season of bots was around, so i was the 4th place out of 5 or 6 humans... barely made it to the playoffs

        Re: Season Matchmaking Changed

        The reason the matchmaking was switched back was due to long waits, now they (NWGD) have said they have fixed the long waits and we are waiting for that update. I would rather not have the long wait and I don't think the new matchmaking system will help those who say "I don't mind the wait if it will give them a better chance at winning" if winning for you was hard then, it will sill be hard in the new system, if not harder. You will try harder to win when you see it is a even playing field and so will others (this is good for the game and for competition+++++) everyone will up their game(+) .... when you lose(31/32 of all who compete) you will be even more disappointed..... if the matchmaking fix succeeds (which I hope it does) then to win will be harder for everyone (a good thing) ....You will need to know the matchmaking system well and you will need to improve your season roster as best you can within the 82 hours where sub-ins are allowed. Because it will be harder to win I think the prizes should improve.....

        My suggestions are along the lines of the following:

        top 8 regular season: 2 team packs
        9-32 reg season: 1 team pack

        1st : epic card with 1/100 chance at legend card, 2x6player pack, 2x team pack

        2nd: rare card with 1/20 chance at epic and 1/2000 chance at legend, 2x 6player pack, 2x team pack

        3-4: uncommon card with 1/5 chance at rare 1/100 chance at epic 1/10000 chance at legend, 2x 6pp, 2x team pack

        5-8: 2x6pp,2xtp

        9-16:1x6pp, 2xtp


        This would be a good improvement.

          Winning first place I would prefer to see include an epic pack with the same standard chance at a legend.

            Re: Season Matchmaking Changed

            Sorry if there was confusion on the change we did yesterday, it was a different change than what we did a couple weeks ago. We didn't turn that back on because of the long waits and bot issues.


            What we did this week, is not a complete fix, but it will make the matchmaking better. We're still not 100% happy with this solution, but an improvement is worth it vs. waiting for what we think will ultimately fix the issues. Like I said, we're working on a completely different fix to the Season matchmaking that will make it better in the long run. That isn't ready to go out yet though.

              How about implementing a back out of season option so at least we can quit a season and not have to wait the 4 days when we know we dont have a chance. And like someone said earlier I'd rather a long wait for the finding player process if it means I have a chance to win.

              Just started a season, and 13th game in find someone 1500+ better than me in each category....come on man! What's the point of seasons if I dont stand a chance?!

                1500+? How about someone who is 2k+ better than me on my season that I just started. And I waited for an hour I think. Oh well. 1st round it is. Not really getting my hopes up for this season change.

                  Same here, the first 4 teams I played were comparable but then I go and play a team that's nearly 2k better than me in most categories. Another 5 days wasted so I can most likely get two Alex Len cards in the first round. Oh well, there's always rivals.

                    He did say that even with fixed or tweaked season you might end up with trucks.

                      Maybe I just got lucky but when they did the big update and originally fixed the matchmaking it was a perfectly even season, it was great. I just think it's interesting that you can program the game to take a team's top 15 potential cards but you can't program it to match those with other teams that are withing 800 or less in most categories.

                        It did seem to work for some but you did have others that waited hours to only end up with trucks. I would expect the same thing you mention. Most of us here would be trucks in some season with other players. I'm in a season now with Beng23 and he'd easily win our season if I wasn't in it, but I'm running over everyone. I know when things are gonna get harder for me and I figure I'm due for a truck or so myself.

                          Yeah it can be tricky... I'd rather lose to several teams a little better than me than one team way better than me though. Hopefully someday we can get there but until then matchmaking seems like a bit of a lottery. I've played 13 seasons and won 3, I don't know if that's better than most or not but it doesn't seem great to me. I'm way more likely to succeed in the Rivals event so I'm really glad they added that.

                            I don't know what the rate is. Mine has improved the last several because of the legends added as well as the rivals. I'm on my way to win title six in a row. If you keep doing well I rivals you'll soon be one of those trucks.

                                New matchmaking is awesome. I don't know what you guys are talking about.
