1 GT7 is a racing game where you're in a free-for-all all, competing against I believe up to 19 other players
2 Battlefield 2042 has 128 players and there are many many many many more "stats" to take into account other than "My vroom vroom is faster than yours"
3 Its a team AND squad-based game. So setting up a team and squads in a 128-player match with a similar skill level, especially when you're dealing with players that are in top 1% is impossible. SBMM in 2042 ends up shafting itself and you for that matter. I often play with some dumb potatoes against tryhard vehicle turds because there aren't enough 3.0+ k/d infantry players in this game, so I end up playing against heli tryhards most of the time while my and enemy team is filled with infantry potatoes deluxe.
4 Any FPS game is a casual environment whether you like or not. I shouldn't be punished simply because I managed to get better than other players.
Thanks for that, I still believe SBMM can be beneficial. Ultimately the experience comes down to 2 things.
- 1 on 1 shooting as infantry so K/D
- vehicle combat so maybe time spent in vehicles
Since so many stats are tracked, i think it is ok to consider these two stats when matchmaking.
Even for the casual gamers, the one on one shooting experience is what matters. If it is frustrating, there is no joy, less time playing the game/ less money spent on cosmetics. Maybe this experience is even more important to casuals! But whatever floats the boat. I am ok without the SBMM too.
In GT7 there is also the safety rating that is considered when matchmaking. (If you tend to hit other cars, you get matched against other terrible drivers. Works well. 🙂
