@Apophis-STRWeird with just 100 hours into this years game. I don’t want to play it anymore. But because of the handling It’s really made me not want to even consider 21 or 22. So earlier I was actually considering installing 2020. But two reasons that put me off thus far. After having PS5 for 2 years. I have got used to not having to wait for games to load and I do remember the only thing that annoyed me about 2020 was that each race took a so long to load.
The other thing that was an annoyance gameplay wise. Was whenever Ai teammates were within wheel to wheel range. The would then spend the race pretty much side by side slowing each other down.
But then nothing is more annoying at the minute than the flashback glitch where after a flashback it appears all cars become indestructible. As I have attention span of a toddler I’m partial to a few flashbacks per race. Which means really boring races.
I’ve been told by QA they can’t replicate it. 🤷🏻♂️.
But like you I don’t ever remember feeling cheated by excite mechanics, Ai cheats or scripts in 2020.
I started noticing them in 21 and ranted often about the on Codies. But no one was really seeing what I was. But then not many play the game over and over using every which way like me. But in 22 the community regulars started posting how the game cheats you when you consistently perform well
its like every year they use the same game cheats and fewer and fewer changes to career modes making them more visible. Along with when faced with a complicated bug rather than fix it. They disable what feature is effective and shoehorn in another coded script so to make it seem fixed
However that all being said I do not for a second believe it’s the dev teams or EA QA teams fault. But as always with the game industry the reasons for this can be traced back to upper management and corporate greed being totally out off control
