F123 assist issues

Hello,

first off let me say that control wise from a controller on f123 is terrible and the new throttle and steering inputs does not work! I use assists and that includes traction assist which when set to full offers next to zero traction on exits and mid corner, the car is all over the place and in more than a decade of playing codemasters f1 games it’s never been as bad as this. Im in a constant state of oversteer and under steer never getting any grip anywhere and when I apply even a slight amount of throttle the car lights up the rears and nearly puts me in the wall.

Breaking assist is also set to high and I get near zero breaking into corners and not one corner has the car made without me having to steer off track to avoid barriers or other cars and when trying to steer the car responds in either instant turning or no turning and I end up in the wall and I’ve used assists throughout all codemasters f1 titles and this has never been this bad to this extent and the fact I can’t cancel my pre order annoys me as EA have conned me again with false promises and an untested and unfinished game adding features without testing and as always controller is at an outrageous disadvantage in comparison to race wheels. So thank you EA and codemasters you’ve made me waste a lot of money on your game and on top of that made me fall out of love for the game series I won’t be playing the game again unless these issues are addressed QUICKLY and since it’s impossible to give proper feedback on these issues without having 100,000+ followers the problems won’t be seen or resolved so well done you’ve made another cash grab game out of a great sport enjoy the profits

@chanmerl Handling model is optimised to run without assists: compared to last year it’s night and day. This year is amazing. The handling model when using assist makes what’s good about the handling model irrelevant as assists especially full TC numb a lot of how the handling feels. The current issue people are having with handling whilst using TC is because TC and the new model don’t seem to be working as assist users expect in low speed corners. It should and hopefully be a simple case off adjusting TC strength

@ScarDuck14 also, low speed corners seem to be slower this year, making it feel duller with TC.

@RVladimiro I do kind of get peoples confusion. This game is played by loads using TC. So when they hear the handling is improved they assume they would feel the improvement not realising TC may keep you facing the right way when mashing the throttle but at a cost off any real feel off what the car is doing

Corner one of Bahrain is an excellent example of steering issues. F123 is the first that has enabled me to get deep into the car set up. Now my car just flies through the corner

@MattJXN This. 23 is my first actual F1 game after following the sport for years. I read that 22 was unbearable to play at times, I can tell 23 is night and day compared to last years game without even playing based on the reviews.

I raised a topic with the loose rear end with full TC on a pad weeks ago with a huge amount of replies and feedback from EA.
For me the handling on this years game is indeed much better than 22. However there is absolutely no doubt that the exiting slow corners on a pad with full TC enabled is utterly dreadful.
You can throw as many setups and throttle and steering calibration settings as you like at it, with only the slightest of improvements. But the bottom line is it inherently remains the same.
I will once again say the same thing. Why does this not happen in the wet?
