EA may give players more control over online matchmaking in the near future

A new EA patent seeks to give gamers greater choice over matching systems, enabling them to match with other players who share their tastes.

Electronic Arts are reportedly working on a new and revolutionary matching system that will allow users more choice over who they play with than in the past. In the past, developers have utilized various matching algorithms to automatically pair players up for an online multiplayer battle, but a recent patent filed by Electronic Arts wants to further tailor the matchmaking experience and put more control in the hands of the players themselves. Because this material is derived from a patent rather than an official news release from Electronic Arts, it should be noted that it is all subject to change.
