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 ...

@catchygaaaaSo they won’t notice a nerf and in turn being destroyed by the Git Gud Elitists isn’t the way to in sensitise anyone to play the game. The game only gets developed by selling copies to casual gamers. As it’s a game that is F1 specific. Means it will only appeal mostly to F1 fans. F1 fans will by the game as a casual bit off fun to race around tracks and in cars they follow on tv. Other AAA racing games like GT7 and Forza have content that appeals to anyone who likes driving fast,
Only way F1 games sell is by making it accessible to as many people as possible. Which means keeping the skill gap down and limit the amount of setup options. Compared to proper racing sims. The setup options in this game are tiny compared to racing sims, that’s by design to not over complicate things for the average gamer.
So it’s a case of accepting people you race against in this will be using assists and will on occasion beat you. And if they do what does it matter 🤷🏻♂️.
Or accepting this game is just a game and you would be happier racing
against like minded people in a proper
Sim.
EA and Codemasters know if they increase the skill gap by nerfing assists will mean less people buying and playing the game and spending money on cosmetics. So do you think they will nerf assists to make the minority of elitists happy? Or more likely to buff them to keep more playing?
@ScarDuck14 Very well put 👏🏻
I see, understand and agree. What you say does make complete commercial sense in the short term mostly/ish
As you state though, the casuals are in the majority, elitist minority.
In general matchmaking, you are as it states matched to equivalents.
The casuals will never see the elitists online, but should EA convert a casual into a more elite, they will have space to grow within the matchmaking system.
Plus if they do get bitten by the f1 elitist bug, they have converted another casual into a fan like myself who has bought the game every year for 10ish years, who also has a son bitten and ends up buying 2x champ editions for £160...
Oh I'm humble in my racing btw, a have no issue in losing lol. My last 5-6 league races on 22 I placed p16 highest. I just wish and I can tell this is falling on deaf ears but will say it again, wish it was a lil more fair..
