Why is there no one playing online on ps3?

they all playing on arcade mode mate.
you can select relaistic and get the blank screen up....but you can wait and if someone starts a game it does actually refresh to show it.... but it is very rare. ive not had a realistic game with more than one other person yet. Its a shame you cant join a game in progress aswell

The host should be able to open a game and decide how long it stays up and players should be able to join after it's started too.

This would go a long way to getting some games actually going. This needs to be fixed.
