FIFA 23 'Pro Clubs matchmaking' still riddled with issues weeks after being acknowledged

FIFA 23 Pro Clubs brings virtual football to new heights by fostering a deep sense of teamwork, customization, and competitive gameplay.

With its emphasis on communication, strategy, and skill development, this mode provides an immersive multiplayer experience that keeps players engaged for hours on end.

However, despite its potential, FIFA 23 Pro Clubs has been plagued with persistent matchmaking issues that have hindered the enjoyment of the game (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).

One of the most common problems faced by Pro Clubs players is the inability to start or play league and friendly matches.

It is incredibly frustrating for players who are eager to participate in competitive matches, only to encounter obstacles preventing them from doing so.

Sometimes, players are abruptly kicked out of matches just moments before they are about to start, disrupting the flow of gameplay and leaving them disappointed.

@EASPORTSFIFA made me sit in a lobby for 3 hours with constant disconnects and lag outs on pro clubs only successfully playing 1 game in that time because they refused to fix it for almost a month. That took its toll ngl. #SaveProClubs

In addition to being unable to start matches, players often face long waiting times during the matchmaking process.

Finding opponents for matches can take an excessive amount of time, causing frustration and discouraging players from engaging in Pro Clubs gameplay.

Players have expressed their discontent and raised valid questions about the lack of attention given to Pro Clubs by the game’s developer, EA.

Players argue that if EA can release new cards for FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) on a daily basis and address any issues promptly, why are the issues in Pro Clubs being neglected?

Some believe that the focus on FUT is due to its ability to generate revenue through microtransactions, while Pro Clubs lacks such monetization opportunities.

As a result, they argue, EA has disregarded the pleas of the Pro Clubs community for necessary fixes and improvements.

Interestingly, despite the acknowledgement of these issues by EA two weeks ago, no concrete solution or fix has been implemented.

As FIFA 23 approaches the end of its life cycle, it is crucial for EA to reflect on the experiences of Pro Clubs players and take action to rectify the existing problems.

By doing so, EA can demonstrate its commitment to providing a comprehensive and enjoyable gaming experience for all FIFA players.
