The game had the potential to be the best BF after BF3 and you managed to ruin it with matchmaking combined with an awful sbmm. Good job not buying any more BF for sure but seeing people still don't grow up and cheating like crazy there is zero reason to buy any FPS game. I value my money more than spending it on games where people just cheat without problem.

The disparity between normal players and cheats is wild.
Normal players: 20-40 kills, 2:1 KDR-ish, some better, some worse.
Cheats: 30+ kills in CQ, 60-80 other modes, 4:1 min KDR, usually wildly better.
What I usually see: CQ maps is a level 40-100 player wiping everyone out. I generally just assume this is a bought account from someplace like G2G or sale account someone picked up cheap as a throwaway after a prior ban. Almost always the same play style using an SMG or other meta gun with zero recoil and zero misses, often a shotgun with 100% headshots.
Big maps: Usually a helo that sees all and never misses, otherwise it's the usual stuff... players with consistent headshots, accuracy at with full auto at ranges that never should be possible, and always seem to know where you are.
And then if you look up an account (if it isn't blocked or un-findable due to weird characters in the name) it's a level 900 with 10,000 hours in game because it's being farmed.
Anyway, it's apparent EA doesn't care about cheats, and their anti-cheat is fairly arbitrary and useless. One good look at leaderboards shows players with impossible accuracy and insane KDR that simply aren't humanly possible. Yet there they are.
EDIT: From EA itself: "if a player is consistently reported over a long period yet never triggers other anti-cheat signals and repeatedly passes manual review, MIR will recognize them for what they are: a skilled Battlefield veteran."
So basically people that spam report skilled players water down the cheat detection, but a cheater that passes whatever "manual review" there is will be allowed to continue to cheat unless they do something completely stupid. I'm sure that "manual review" by some overworked and uncaring employee is deep and thorough. /s
Iv'e played sense it dropped, I pre-ordered it and it fell off after season 2 because of all the sweats and ODD play behavior 'cough cough' CHEATS especially in casuals as they seem to swarm to. As of today, i play for 2 hours and i absolutly hate it. it's not fun because of all the imbalance and sbmm they just had to add in and destroy the player base. I lose 10/10 games and it's almost unplayable.
Makes sense but the levels just relate to people that have Xp up for example we have a level 1000 who is terrible but he bot farms when you look at his stats.
SBMM more so on KD ratio Top 50% lobbed together Bottom 50% lobbed together.
Grizz gets the largest part of the problem.
But I'll also agree that if there is matchmaking, there might as well not be. Nothing like being in a match, looking at the scoreboard, and seeing half the enemy team with people who have at least a 5/1 KDR and top squad on my team isn't even 3/1.
It's also bad because right at the start of the game, you can press tab and 9/10 games you can guess which team is going to win. Big giveaways are people who are level 500+, people with names that should never have made it past the filter, people with insane lag, or people with names like 我水平太差，在自己的赛区玩不了，所以就作弊去别的赛区玩。
I've just given up honestly. I still want to play, and once in a while I still have fun, but it's so boring to not even start the game, look at the scoreboard and KNOW, "yup, losing this one to a stomp" and I'm almost always right. The only times I'm proven wrong is someone ragehacks on my team and ends the game with an 80/1 KDR on an infantry only map. I report these people, and just get that email from EA saying "Thanks, we don't care."
So tiring.
in gaunlet there is level 60 ppl going 65-5 this ridiculous man i am level 900 so what i can bet aimbot .. there is tons of them and you just report them.. the guy had 19 hours in the game and he was running around killing ppl.. on 23 oct this game dies completely .. and thank god
My man issue is Console and PC might be playing the same game but not at the same time. That desync is 1-2 second behind and we get the worst end of it on PC
indeed, just put level 100 in same match as level 600 or higher, thats very refined
Oh forgot to mention awful team balancer which is non existent since dedicated servers are not a thing where server plugins were goated and had actual balancer. EA hosted servers have zero team balancer.
