Using wheels in this game is way more important than ranked.
Whats the point of ranked if most of the fastest people who play it are wheel users but they can't use their wheel to start with?!
Just because you're not a wheel user you immediately think you're in the majority and the priority, that's baseless assumptions with no facts to back it up, poor show mate.
Getting basic things fixed first like wheels and FFB is a priority, end of story.
@matty0blobber you do you mate.
@dotazured I fully understand what you’re saying, and respect that. I suppose there will always be an element of bias, from both sides. Players who don’t use wheels (which let me tell you for sure, is most players) will want the focus to be on fixing the games major issues, like the two player career tyre allocation bugs, the ranked multiplayer system, or the career mode contract bugs. Contrastingly, players who use wheels will obviously want the focus to be on improving their experience on the game.
Not only as a game develop, but in many situations in life, you can’t please everyone when you are deciding between what to do. But I think the best principal for dealing with problems is do prioritise the biggest, most pressing issues. Which in a video game’s scenario are the issues affecting the most players, causing the most problems, and giving the developers a worse reputation.
At the end of the day, when (most) people write reviews for this game, they won’t be writing about how their particular types of wheels didn’t work, or their FFB issues hues, I get that they are important too). But instead they will be writing about the lack of major changes to the main parts of the game, and the major flaws in bugs with those renowned and most acclaimed parts of the game.
But let’s not just close this conversation. All opinions are welcomed and respected! I wouldn’t particularly recommend coming in, sharing your opinion, and calling it ‘end of story’.
@wildwestcowboyOh I will mate dw, you can't say 'lets close the conversation' to someone else while making little jabs about the wording I used....thats weak.
People haven't been able to play this 'properly' (how they played 21&22) since launch day which is 25-27 days now.
Ranked isn't even broken it's still playable, is it bugged? yes sure, but wheels and controllers have been broken since launch.
You came on here first declaring what's more important, so that's on you, you invited the push back.
Force Feedback is gone (only on F1 23) since last update. I'm using the Thrustmaster T818 wheelbase on PC. What should I do ?
To fix the wheels should be the #1 priority issue. A RACING GAME without properly working wheels is not a racing game.
Logitech wheels after the 150 and 300 are the most common in this game. It's a farce that every year they don't work. And in terms of playerbase about 25-30% use steering wheels.
Just in general, everytime when a wheel doesn't get supported it's #1 priority.
50th patch since 2020 and still no removal or nerf of personnel facility stat boosts.
Remaining on hiatus from the game.
@matty0blobber not quite sure where you saw me say ‘let’s close the conversation’.
I don’t mind the pushback within reason. I never came on here and ‘declared’ what was important. I did, however, accept that the issues you were talking about were important too. Just that from a player like me’s perspective (which I for one believe represents a higher portion of the player base), the issues I stated seemed like things which logically - for a company making games like EA’s - would be more pressing.
You seem keen to jump to conclusions. So shall we conclude here, or must we digress?
