FIFA 09 Online Ranking System (Legacy)

FIFA 09 online servers are shut down; ranking system inactive. However, typical FIFA ranking systems work like this:

• Elo‑based: Mathematical skill rating (from chess).
• Match Results: Win = rank up; loss = rank down.
• Opponent Strength: Beating higher‑ranked players yields bigger gains.
• Skill Tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc., for matchmaking.
• Divisions/Leagues: Climb tiers for progression.

Core goals: fair competition, skill improvement, balanced matchmaking. Modern FIFA games use similar principles.
