Summarize your bug Aim assist is completely working improperly
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Aim Assist is not functioning properly on console, so just testing tracking will do
What happens when the bug occurs? Either the cursor cannot track properly or overcompensation occurs, both resulting in difficulty aiming
What should be happening instead? Aim assist needs to track more effectively
Even through Update 1.0, aim assist does not appear to be properly engaged for console players. It appears that aim assist when ADS is too weak when following a moving player, forcing players to push harder on the controller stick to try and compensate. Not only does the crosshair often not catch up to the moving player, but this can subsequently lead to overcompensation if that target stops moving and the player who is aiming must then readjust yet again.
This is causing uneven and unfair gunplay, especially when engaging in a gunfight with another player. This is honestly disheartening as it makes it difficult to properly play when we are being hampered by the aim assist notnproperly tracking a target.
Below is a great video explaining how the aim assist appears to be broken (albeit from January)
Please DICE, fix this issue sooner rather than later so console players can better enjoy overall gunplay throughout the game. We appreciate everything DICE does for our player base and I hope they act on this quickly to fix this entirely, many thanks!
