I’ve honestly been searching for a drop in for over an hour, it started last night. even though its been a constant problem since I’ve owned the game (also purchased bundle to play 4 days early). Now I literally just can’t find a match. Honestly it’s ridiculous, don’t launch a game if it’s not ready. It’s extremely unfair and frustrating to the buyers. If this isnt fixed by tmrw night I’m returning the game. Every year man, every year something is massively wrong with this game. Hire better developers.

Same here. Had the game for 3 days now and played total of 7 eashl drop in online xbox one. 6v6. Tried At least 25 times and try everyday. It even does it 3v3 also. Searches for about 5 minutes then says failed to find opponent.

Update: still FUBAR. Can only find games in AM hours when population seems lower, and it's ALWAYS 2v2 never 3v3 or 4v4. I want my 80 dollars and hard drive space back - but there is no option for a refund. Considering doing a chargeback on my visa but I've heard I may be locked out of my xbox live if i do...
p.s. this is the same BS game as 18 with some new graphical assets. Roster update for 80 bucks. At least last years 3v3 works...
Never again EA.
NEVER.
AGAIN.

Product: NHL 19
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to find a 6v6 drop-in game at any time besides early in the morning. You won't.
What happens when the bug occurs? I'm attempting to find a 6v6 drop-in game on my own. It works early in the morning, but in the afternoon and evening, it refuses to find a match despite the population being 'high' or 'normal'. It says the average search time is over five minutes, and after waiting, it gives me the 'failed to find an opponent' message.
What do you expect to see? I expect a game that costs $80 CAD to work properly. I expect to be able to find a 6v6 drop-in match during peak hours when the population is 'high' or 'normal' according to the game.
Was the issue in online or offline mode? Online
Insert Game Mode or Feature here EASHL 6v6 Drop-In
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 8:00 PM EST
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? KrizenMedina

I'm not the only one experiencing this issue; literally every single person on my friends list is experiencing it as well. I've asked over 20 of them, and whenever I can't find a match, I check my list and see no one in EASHL, despite all of them being die-hard EASHL players. I haven't even seen anyone from EA acknowledge this problem. I've seen you guys acknowledge the dressing room error, but nothing about this. Is it too much to ask for an $80 CAD game to work properly, especially when it was working in the beta?

This is really frustrating I hope its resolved SOON

I'm really pissed. I only play NHL for the drop-in games. It's the best feature! I'm getting close to calling it quits and just going back to NHL 2018.
