Why is there no Console Only Cross-Play?

We should get console crossplay only so me and my friend can play together without being killed every 2 seconds by some xtreme fast pcplayer.  they have unfair advantages over console players… ...

@cornybbq2 If my observation is correct, the current matchmaking has serious issues. It looks like EA uses distinct pools of parties in matchmaking.

  1. Crossplay enabled (PC, Current Gen PlayStation and XBox)
  2. Crossplay enabled (lastgen PlayStation and XBox)
  3. PC only
  4. PS5 only
  5. XBox X|S only
  6. PS4 only
  7. XBox One only (not sure if that is enabled)

I guess the first 2 pools are the casuals and the "I don't care I just want to play" players. 

I could imagine, that the homogene Crossplay parties could be used to fill up the platform only lobbies, but I don't think that's happening.

@kregora There is something very wrong with this matchmaking, several regions, and on all platforms it is not matched if crossplay is disabled, one thing I noticed looking at players is an overwhelming majority of PC in matches
