Re: LANDO NORRIS OVERRATED AGAIN

@TotosHeadphones That’s fair. I’m just frustrated with it. To think that after a year of it, it may happen again is annoying.

Hopefully it won’t. I’ve just not got the energy for it. Because it’s not so much the car that concerns me. It’s now Norris and that he could start dominating if in the progression of a career he could be outdriving drivers we know are better. George, Charles, Lewis and maybe even Max.

    @GameOfEnder95 Do we know they are better though? Cars make results.. Let 2 drivers drive 5 cars and the gap between the drivers will most likely vary a lot..
  • @Meza994 If George can get P2 in a Williams on merit and a win in the third fastest car. And Charles can be as dominant as he is on his best day. Yeah they’re better than Norris.

    @GameOfEnder95 Honestly, I understand the frustration, it was a common complaint in the last two versions. You never know, EA may have made changes to the AI facilities issues that's plagued Career/My Team modes; they have listened by fixing/adding some bits that the community haven't been happy with.

    I hope you overlook the Norris thing and enjoy the other features of the game but will just have to wait and see if it will be worth it

    @Meza994 In my opinion, Lando Norris' rating is too high because the results he achieved in season 23 from Bahrain to Miami (because that is the period they are counted for) he drove disastrously. Three times he was 17th and 2 times he scored points in Australia he was P6 but thanks to luck there was a red flag at the end of the race and a penalty on the restart. In fact by pure pace he reached P9 in Baku. He should be rated 86 and up to 87. 89 with Sainz and Russell's rating of 88 is a serious misunderstanding disregarding both riders.

    @GameOfEnder95 Norris never had the 3rd fastest car, in Brazil 2022 the Merc was legitimately the fastest car and Yes in terms of raw pace - especially in qualifying - Leclerc is a beast.. I think Russel is slightly faster than Norris but lacks in awareness vs Russel, Racecraft might be equal..

    @pawel567 Tbf the ratings only majorly cover the current season, always have. Yes Norris didnt do amazing this year but Australia and Baku were good, nothing to complain about considering he got a bad car and Spain was a great lap, he didnt magically have the 2nd best car :P

    But yea slightly below Russel for sure this year.. Anyway we will never agree fully which is why we ask for a ratings editor, everyone could be happy then! 🙂

    @Meza994 Probably the update will come after Belgium so they will probably downgrade Norris (if he continues to perform like this).

    @TotosHeadphones I’ll wait and see. As seeing Twitter and YouTube the reaction to Norris’s ratings, in comparison to George and Charles, has not gone down well. So hopefully they’ll change it quick. Because it looks like it’s the biggest problem people had with it and some looked furious/mutinous about it. That he’s set to be one of the strongest on the grid
  • @pawel567 Hopefully sooner. The fact that George’s rating is about where it was in 2020 is an insult. Given everything he’s done since then. Same for Charles.
