Division Rivals is broken for me :(
Quick Background: Been playing FIFA since July 2016. Played over 2000 games in Fifa19. I have a very good team, carefully selected for workrates, skills and chemistry (see below). My record currently is 183-27-98 (wins ties losses).
I started FIFA 20 with 590 skill points (low, for my expectations, but okay, i need something to work for right)? Then i went up a division to 6, (yessss, progress! That's what my spirit craves!). Then I lost game after game going down to Division 9! ( 170 skill points roughly).
I thought "Okay, maybe EA need to give me 'room' to win games (progress) before I hit my natural limits". So I start winning again, up to division 7, almost to division 6 again, then it's Tie after Tie, can't win a game. Then it's like this - i'll score, and suddenly my opponent becomes TEKKS, I'll lose 3-1, 4-1 game after game.
Now, (and I'm containing myself and not using ALL CAPS), I go down AGAIN to division 9 and think, "okay, this is it, this is the 'bottom', they'll play me fair again". Then I'll win a couple, then i'll tie, and tie again, then it all starts over! Losing game after UNWINNABLE GAME!!!!!
With under 100 skill points (I'M NOW AT 58 THAT'S RIGHT 58 SKILL POINTS!!!!), I'm playing guys who have already achieved the special "Politano Serie A objective player" and guys who have "Nara Ink Stadium Themes". Obviously very seasoned (at least in FIFA 20) players.
HERE'S MY POINT: If you're going to put me in unwinnable games ALL THE WAY DOWN to division 10 (TEN!!!!) at least I could get matched with someone who's got a similar skill rating - like a 9 year old or something!
I've called technical support and apparently they DO NOT play the game. Deleting Storage Data, PSN ID, etc. Recycling the router does nothing.
ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP PLEASE.

I wouldn't stress about as like you, I am also in Div 10 (~45 points or so) having had a massive losing streak over the past few weeks. It used to wind me up, but now I feel quite relaxed and just try to enjoy the games. It's not like the rewards are that great. When did you last pack anything decent out a Div Rivals reward pack? Better off doing SBC's. BTW, I did test to see if you could get negative skill points, you can't!
There is enough empirical evidence to suggest that there is some form of manipulation in game, rather than chalking it up to random behaviour:
- passes going in directions other than the intended one (I play with the trainer on so I can see where I aimed and where the ball actually went)
- defenders parting like the red sea (especially AI controlled)
- despite full power, you pass trickles into the path of an opposition player
- Completely miss an open goal by spraying or hitting the woodwork
- An attacker makes a great run into the box, your pass goes straight to the winger out on the touchline
- I had one game with 21 shots, 21 shots on target and his keeper made 19 saves? 19...
- Unreliable matchmaking. Pretty sure most of the team I come up against are not Div 10.
My biggest beef is that I tend to lose to players (about 80% of the time)who created their account either in the current month, or say in the past 6 months (I did mine in Sept 17). I kept a small journal for a week and found that I either lost, drew or struggled hugely with teams created in Oct or Nov 2019. The games run to a very familiar pattern:
- players are sluggish on the ball
- inaccurate passing
- woodwork and goalkeeper saves abound
- players carry on as if they zero chem
So despite often having 15-20 shots (5-8 for opponent) with say 50-60% accuracy, often 50-60% possession, I will most likely lose. Their keepers ALWAYS make a significant amount of saves, usually 12 - 15 per game.
That is no coincidence, but will be denied.

@romanceintx Should add I was also in beta for FIFA19 and FIFA20, know how to dribble, control the ball, shoot, defend, etc.

I’m having the same issues. This game is driving me nuts! I have been in D1 or D2 the past 3 years and now I cannot get out of D5 to save my life. Just lost to a guy in rivals 3-1 and I had 19 shots with 14 on target compared to 4 shots for him and his team was complete junk. And to top it off I get a glitch in game where I could not change my lineup (see pic attached)
This game is slow and unresponsive. Although I hate players lobbing crosses in for goals, heading the ball is part of the game and now there is a better chance the glances off the player’s head than heading the ball somewhat in the intended direction.
EA, please fix this immediately bc you are about to lose a loyal customer.
