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 ...

@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?🤔

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
- @pekish79 I can answer your question because I have most F1 22 stuff logged in F1Laps. In most tracks in TT, I'm around +/- 1 second from real F1 track records. There are exceptions where I'm a lot faster and a lot slower than the current track record but we'll ignore it for now and assume the "middle" ground is ok for analysis' sake.
As far as TT is concerned if I recall correctly this usually leaves me somewhere between 45% and 55% of the population. Since you mentioned Bahrain, it follows what I described above. My times are very consistent, between 1:30.830 and 1:30.928. I find similar consistency and times (compared to real F1 records) in Jeddah, Barcelona, Baku, Canada, France, Singapore, COTA, Mexico, and Brazil. For what it's worth all times in TT in F1 22 were set with full TC, ABS, racing line, and auto transmission.
Obviously, I don't represent the whole "assists" population. On the one hand, although I play casually I'm kinda invested in racing games but on the other hand, I assume I'm rather slow compared with other more invested players and likely faster than other casuals.
Does this help or shed any light?That is what I expected I think honestly I don’t see much problem with the assist as they are they should push people with no assist to try to improve as they know they can be faster if they get real good and overall they allow more people to be competitive (that should be a good thing)
it seems a win-win situation overall as long as you don’t take losing personally and get upset. It is a game chill and try your best to get better assist won’t ruin your fun.
If really * you off you could ask for competition specific for no assist but shouldn’t nerf it overall as it would make a lot less fun for a lot of people feel very selfish.
