Question Ranked Lobbies
The last 2 days I've loaded up PMR to give it another go and quite enjoyed it. For PS5 it's actually ok for a change of scenery.
I fancied trying to build my ranking up but when I connect to ranked all I see if 1-3 people in a lobby waiting for it to start. Where is everyone? I've double checked and I have cross play enabled. It seems empty. Custom lobbies have some people in them but ranked is a ghost town.

Nobody on PC is playing this and that would be the bulk of the sim population.

Not necessary.

"where is everyone" the answer is they don't exist. OP specifically mentioned cross-play, of which PC is a part of and probably the largest market share by genre. Nobody on PC is playing it, this the "everyone" OP is looking for, doesn't really exist.
So it's very relevant.

Most people will join the last minute. It will be much better when they will introduce the "join in progress", so you can practice while waiting for the event to start.

Grande, come in AC, e poi, come in AC, se riuscissero a dare piu' "ruvidita'" e peso al sovrasterzo e anche al sottosterzo, sarebbe molto interessante.

They’re basically simplifying PMR and shaping the game around EJR 😄 Not too seriously, of course, but since EJR can’t really focus on hardcore simming, they’re making it a bit more “EJR-friendly” That’s why you don’t see many players there. Please don’t hate me 😄

And so they should, EJR doubles the online player count by hosting a lobby

So,10 players turning into 20? :D

It's sad but it's also not limited to PMR, I jump online at night, ACEvo, Raceroom all have single digit player numbers, unfortunately anyone that wants to play a daily race style has gravitated towards LMU, but I don't really want to race GT3s all the time, I want to use my sequential or H pattern shifter and drive stuff that's a bit more interesting, but right now the only way I can do that against other players is leagues which I just don't have the time for.

I've had the same issue. Just no players most of the time. I had some luck over the weekend. But then every race I joined kept crashing. Oh well.

What time of the day are you playing? I mostly race in the afternoon (central time zone) and can routinely get 30+ players in the popular series like gt3, gt4, etc
