Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Correct. But what I've found is that MY teammates that are typically low 90s and high 80s are still Pros and Rookies. The team that I'm facing may have characters at my OVR but i saw a whole team of Superstar 2s and 3s last night trying to beat up on rookies and Pros.

It's really worse than it was. At least when we had the lowest OVR guy hit X to start the game it was a crap shoot. We would get sweaties and bums. Now, all of my teammates are bums and the teams I'm facing is a full squad.

Ok. But that is better than last year right ?

Last year was very lopsided teams. Too many 95 overall avg vs 82 overall average.

Honestly, you're better off running Park if you're looking for a mixed bag of competition. The Rec USED to be where you could get good games sometimes and bad games the other times. Now, it's very rare to get a even level competition game. Teams are just too scared to run Team i guess.

They need to match make by team overall record.

this matchmaking is the worst it's been they gotta stop listening to people. I hate facing squads of ss2-3's but i get some pro's that's even a fair matchup.

i've only seen this since the new matchmaking.

I run rec after a get 200 PNO wins. I retire after 200 dubs. Can’t stomach anymore after that.

I’ve been getting 200 online ranked wins and stopping at 200 since literally 2k1 on Dreamcast.

Nothing changed.......lol

2k should give me like a life time achievement award or something..........

The matchmaking hasn't been changed. If it was, 2k would've said something.
