SBMM and EOMM: we need a clear statement from DICE/EA

There was an interview pre-launch where they confirmed that SBMM is in the game "but a low priority factor, and depends on the game mode (higher in smaller TDM-style modes)". 

Obviously the issue with that (and matchmaking compared to a server browser in general) is the complete lack of transparency, they can tune it at any time without us knowing. 

SBMM is clearly the biggest reason why they went from a server browser to matchmaking, server costs are just an excuse to distract from the obvious. They acknowledged in the BFV era that they changed the TTK to stop high fluctuation from newer and low-skilled players, next game (2042) they had matchmaking, make your own conclusions.

You're confusing the Battlefield community with the Call of Duty community. This isn't actually a popular subject of conversation on all social media channels I've seen so far, and it's only you and maybe a small number of people that I've seen that has brought it up. None of the people I've seen so far has managed to produce any substantive evidence, and at least for now I have no reason to think it's anything other than a conspiracy theory.

Having said that, I do think it's a good thing when a company provides transparency regarding the algorithms that are used to match players together, whether that be a social media company or a game studio. For that reason alone, I'll support your request for an official statement from EA.

Let's be honest though, EA never responds to threads on this forum. It certainly won't change the amount of trust I give EA, because I know exactly what kind of company I'm buying a game from.

Why do you want a statement? We want it removed. I don't care what they have to say about it, and they'd just lie about it anyway. It needs to be gone. Period. 

Hello! I'm sure I'm not the only one noticing this mess! You're either practically a superhero or a bullet sponge who can barely get a shot off! Matches that are even remotely balanced are rare... I usually end up with scores like 900/0 or vice versa... or even worse. One or two matches, it was impossible to capture a flag because the other players were so insane! So I just quit. I've lost count of the times I've rage-quit after some insane situations... I played BF2-3-4 (didn't play One or 5) and I never experienced anything like this... I also discovered Skill Battle Match (SBMM) with this game... It's pure manipulation to keep "new" players playing and to soothe their frustrations. I even read that buying skins, etc., could give you an unfair advantage... it's crazy, but since "they" only care about money, it wouldn't be surprising... In fact, with every action, I wonder if it's really me or if the game hasn't subtly "cheated" in my favor. Apparently, the devs have more or less admitted to this "mechanism" (to be confirmed). And I'd really like to get to the bottom of it!! Let the devs address this once and for all!! In any case, this is the last time I buy a game with their rotten SBMM for pushovers... and if the future of multiplayer is SBMM/EOMM, then count me out...
