Platform Dilemma
I have a dilemma and I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. I'm lucky enough to have a PS5 and a pretty high end gaming PC. I can play perfectly well with m&k on PC, but in all honesty I'm not a very co...
@carsono311The only issue is that turning off cross play usually means it takes forever to get a match as it needs everyone in the match to have cross play turned off. And I genuinely think the player base in this game could end up way too fractured as it is because of having too many game modes and not including older gen consoles in the cross play. So it'll take even longer than usual to find a match.
So I am kinda swaying more towards what @1Hairy-Gorilla said. If I'm gonna have to play with PC players anyway, I might as well be one of them and have the added advantages available to me 😏

@HankBizzleYou could be right. I do expect PC to have the largest playerbase, however as I mentioned, it could also have more... issues to deal with as well.
Don't know if there have been major changes to player bases over the recent year, as Playstation used to be the largest player base without comparison. But true, I have not checked these in the last 6-9 months.
If you logon to the server browser on the 3 different platforms, you still see today that you have more servers available globally for PS then any alternative. PC is next and Xbox the lowest. But the console volume of Xbox and Playstation players combined would by far be the biggest.
Now we just need EA to enable the crossplay among consoles while filtering away the PCs. Then you have a clear winner. Especially if you prefer the more casual playstyle. And getting rid of the system code PC cheaters is a very welcome additional reward.
So, I had already preordered the Gold PS5 version but now that I know cross platform progression is a thing I have also preordered the standard version for PC. Probably a waste of money but at least my platform dilemma is solved 😅
