100% agreed. Add to that the fact that newly promoted teams can only spend a limited amount due to PSR whereas the bigger teams can just go and spend £600m plus. Declan Rice going to Arsenal cost nearly as much as our entire summer spendings. Newly promoted teams just can't compete. Seems that Sunderland may be the exception to the rule. Fair play to them if they do stay up.

I think that Leeds will be going straight back down. The recruitment team utterly failed in the summer and just didn't get in the players we needed. We've been crying out for a decent striker for years but we never get one. Farke is out of his depth in the PL as well. I was all for giving him a chance after he got us promoted but I think that he needs to go. He's incapable of changing things up when he needs to and always picks basically the same team. Add to that the fact that he won't make changes at half time when it's blatantly obvious that we need to make changes. I guess the only issue is who would we get to replace him? 🤔

Season 1 looks pretty great.

I've been enjoying this a lot more than BO6. The reduced SBMM and better maps just make it a much more enjoyable experience. I only dislike 3 maps and 2 are remasters (Hijacked and Nuketown).

I played last night for a couple of hours and had a blast. The lack of SBMM just makes the game so much more fun. You don't have to worry about the game punishing you and I had a consistently good connection. The maps I played were all pretty decent and so much better than the small clusterfuck maps we got in BO6.

It's server de-sync. It was a problem in the beta and it looks like they still haven't fixed the issue.

People are genuinely angry about this delay and I find it quite amusing. It's just a game. They're acting like it's the end of the world 🤣

It's definitely down to them trying to appeal to the COD audience. If I want to play COD then I'll play COD. I don't want to play a BF that's like COD. I play both of them because they're different to each other.

The maps are just bad. I've played BF since Bad Company and I've generally enjoyed most of them (we can all just forget Hardline exists) but I just don't like this game. I don't remember getting shot in the back as much as I do in this game. I think it's because the maps are really small compared to previous BF games.

I'll be playing this. I really enjoyed the first game. Although I have watched a review where it said that the humour has been toned down which is a shame.

Fucking 8Thoughts! I'd rather get kicked in the balls than listen to that bellend.

Yeah I noticed that as well and it makes me very wary of them doing it. We all know Activision can't be trusted.

They've actually done it. No SBMM lobbies for this game. Amazing.

One of the COD leakers has said that the no SBMM matchmaking will be in this game but they don't know if it's the default matchmaking or if it will be a separate playlist. Obviously it needs to be default with SBMM reserved for rank play. If it's in its own playlist then I'll just be sticking to that.

Activision have fucked themselves with this one as it's shown that they're lying pricks. They put out those documents about their matchmaking process and they claimed that ping is king. This reduced skill matchmaking system shows that isn't the case at all. It's now 100% obvious that skill takes precedent over anything else when matchmaking.
