NERFING assists
Please can assists be looked at… Like nuked into oblivion, I understand that assists are their to help all play, but when racing multiplayer should a person on full assists be quicker than a person ...

@Jafmasterflash7 I have to completely agree with what you’re saying here. A full Assist being reward, only like 2 or 3 tenths of people without assists. It really needs sorting.
Will never happen in a mainstream F1 licensed SimCade. As it relies on sales. Vast majority of people who buy the game play for fun. A few hours here and there using a controller. They don’t have the time to put the effort into Gitting Gud. and especially don’t want to pay hundreds out buying a sim setup, which Is needed to Git Gud enough to be comfortable enough to race online without assists.
If you want to race others who take the time and spend the money to Git Gud there are plenty off hardcore sims to choose from.
This game is designed to be a SimCade that is accessible to kids and beginners and casual F1 fans
The guys that are really good at this game don’t complain about players using assists
- @ScarDuck14 Am I missing something?
The OP is in a league that allows assist and he wants EA/CM to nerf assist cause his league won't.....am I reading this right?🤔Assists are an important part of the game to make it accessible but I don't think that rules out the sort of balancing the OP is asking for.
No I don’t think you are reading this right, I mentioned my league because that’s where I race most… but, it’s online & TT’s in general
A player using zero assists will get done out of corners everywhere everytime to a person that is on full assists
theirs no incentive at all for them to learn
Then theirs the contact model… a full assists user can go around the outside of most corners & if they contact a zero assist user the zero assist user always comes of worst
I think people without assist should go faster if they are good that was my understanding but I would be courious to know how fast people with full assist can do the lap
overall I think people with assist has it easier on the long run as they probably can make less mistakes unless you are a real pro and spent a lot of time on the simulator
i know without assist people can do Bahrain in 1:30-1:29 and I though people with full assist had trouble going below 1:31-1:30 so more or less 1 second faster but I would be interested to have more data
I take on board everything that you said & whilst I agree to certain aspects of what you said I disagree on others…
on TT I average around 1500 itw Xbox that’s my limit try as I might i can’t get faster… I’ve played the F1 games since 2016 yet someone who’s picked the game up since 22 can go over a second faster in TT on full assists
there’s no skill or “getting gud” involved it’s just ham hands on buttons & surely it should be at least a level playing field for all
there’s no incentives for them to learn or get gud where as if assists were not so OP they would quickly realise that coming off assists would make them faster & better drivers meaning online wouldn’t be FUBAR as assist users can just hit you & drive by with no repercussions where as an non assist user 10/10 times will spin & how is that fair!?
