Even a F1 Simulator doesnt Provide as much Grip as a Real F1 Car...
Personal view: I respect Alex Gillon for attempting to highlight good and bad things about the game, and doing what he can to try to help the game to improve for the benefit of all players. I also WANT EA/Codemasters to listen to people like him.
What I do worry about with the current game is a potential larger disparity in experience between wheel and pad players. It was especially on wheels that the current game most obviously had issues I believe.
(For context I play on a wheel.)
- I dont hate if someone views something Critical but he doesnt have a Clue about F1 Cars not even the slightest thing and thats respectfully said.
- I compared my Lap of Silverstone on F1 24 with the Old Handling with iRacing and i must say without the correct setup in iracing you wont be consistently as fast. You cant hand out a Game woth such complexe Dynamics and Setups handling, where the Majority is casual players. People wanna have Fun and dont sweat it out. My Steering Inputs between F1 24 and Iracing werent far away as for the Throttle and Brake Inputs. In addition you can see Onboard LIVE how some drivers do the thing what Alex called "Unrealistic".
- Alex is a Hypocrite he didnt talk and cried about the Differential 2021 in the Game but for 2024 it works properly and he cried instantly. I dont Defend him this time. He taken it too far and everyone who is agreeing isnt even playing the game or do play and blindly follows. This must Stop or F1 series goes down like Fifa.
- If we want to Improve a Game we must hold together and Support each others opinion in a way. This is leading somewhere into the Nowhere. Devs doesnt know where to go by people like him and then People like us and the Majority is really big who loved the Old handling. Just face the Facts. Also i would like to have my Money back after this Update.

This point I think relates to a key factor that seems to be lacking in F1 24 for me. The choice of default setups should make the game very playable to 'casual' players but this doesn't seem to be the case. I have a hunch this is an aspect where David Greco's lack of involvement may be being particularly missed.
My expectation would be that casual players would never adjust setups, just use defaults.
Im a Casual myself but i know well damn that im not that fast with a Default setup. I figured that myself. But i know what you mean.
- @Ultrasonic_77 I have no issues with someone highlighting genuine issues with a game or leveling their own criticism. What I very much disliked about how Alex approached the whole thing is that he essentially said the game was the worst thing he'd ever driven and was so overwhelmingly negative that a bunch of people I'm sure cancelled pre-orders or just didn't buy the game at all. This in turn I'm sure pushed Codemasters to change it.
When the game released and regular people got a chance to drive the game however, we didn't see the type of overwhelmingly negative "the sky is falling" rhetoric from the community like you would expect if it was indeed the worst thing Alex had ever driven. I would say the reception was mixed at best. So I don't really appreciate that he misrepresented what the game was like and pushed a narrative that the core was fundamentally flawed which it wasn't.
I don't think anyone here is arguing that the launch handling was perfect, it was obviously far from it but in my opinion, even with its flaws, the launch handling was a better experience.He could have way better than this tbh but he just went over and hated everything and he states also that he worked on the Game much so does he dislike his own Feedback?
- @shery_a_coleslaw I tried the beta testing, I'm a wheel player and completely average. I hated it, I agreed with everything Alex said. I have not bought the game yet and won't until a few more patches and a few less complaints. What pissed me off is how good 23 was, there was zero reason to make sure a major overhaul.
Because Gillon is trash and cant adapt his Style to the Gameplay if he said the Game is good im sure your Opinion would be the same. A New Game should have new Inventions and Features and all. If you want to play the Old game just play the Old game. Or play iracing or something. But games are supposed to get better. I think the Handling had a Big step in the Right direction.
