DISCUSSION We need to have a serious talk about The Gauntlet, and Objective game modes
Firstly, I'm going preface this with the fact that I'm not a very great player but I'm not the worst player on the game. I average between Div 5 and Div 3 most years in rivals and around a 50% win rate in champs.
When is comes to game modes like the gauntlet or other objectives for cards, I very often wait a few days before attempting them. This should get rid of the sweats that instantly complete everything EA put out and a lot of the top players who can breeze through the games.
Now my first problem comes with the fact over half the players I have played in the Gauntlet in already have Enciso in their team. Playing that game mode hold literally no benefit to them except to purposfully stop others from completing objectives. And every times it is nearly the exact same team and kind of player. 4-3-1-2 with Enciso behind Adeyemi and Anyomi while they do nothing but chip through ball to them and run in behind.
Players who have already finished the Gauntlet objective (and other objectives for objective gamemodes) shouldn't have access to the game mode anymore. It's like if everyone could still play Champs games after their 15 games and receive literally no benefit but stopping someone else from getting a win.
Secondly, matchmaking needs to be improved and it cannot be a loose as currently is. Even if it is an objective game mode, someone in Div 5 like myself shouldn't be coming up Div 1 players constantly in objectives. It just doesn't make sense.
I'm not saying maie it exactly like rivals, but a 2 division leeway either way isn't going to kill anyone but also give worse players a reason to keep playing and get better when they aren't constantly coming up again teams worth about 10 million coins.
