F1® 24 - Patch 1.7 Discussion Thread

Ive sat back the past few years hoping this game would get better, but all we get is a copy and paste with new car models and the handling getting worse every update. No customization options, everything they promised was never delivered over the past few years. 

Two words keep popping in to my head "Class Action".

Would be possible to view the 'historical' Time Trial leaderboards in RaceNet again, as it was in the past?

There was a switch 'release date to date X' - 'date X to current date' etc.

With 1.7 TT leaderboards have been reset but on RaceNet there are still the old laptimes

handling using a wheel (fanatec dd+) seems a bit improved to me w 1.7 so while I appreciate pad users frustration don’t want a wholesale revert to 1.6 for both

I appreciate the effort put into all the post-launch patches. However, I'm concerned that the handling issues in this year's game may not be promptly resolved. It's admirable that risks were taken, but unfortunately, they haven't paid off. Similar to Mercedes' "no side pods" approach, there comes a point where you have to admit that we made a mistake. This is a normal part of life and business. Sometimes we make errors, and that's okay.

As part of the solution I propose creating the option for users to play F1 24 using the F1 23 physics, AI and any other associated assets that need to be carried over. @EA_Vendcera I would welcome this suggestion being passed onwards where possible, please.

This is a win/win solution as you have a ready-made handling solution that is far more refined and stable ready to go straight off the bat that your user base can use should they wish. Your choice as to what modes its offered on, but I see no reason why offline single-player modes can't benefit from this.

This should also give you more time to conduct a detailed assessment of necessary changes to the handling and create a comprehensive development roadmap for F1 24 or F1 25 depending upon how practical the adjustments need to be.

Startet a race in Bahrain and now my rear tyres are overheating now, please revert the controller handling to Version 1.06, its crazy how bad the handling is now on controller

Still too much grip on the front, the car's movement still irrealistic, sliding still quicker than driving dictated by common sense (like... when you see on the  TV an F1 car drifting, and still faster than anyíthing?), soooo... yeah. There's a little improvement, but we need more patches for the handling optimazition, because it feels like still a Need For Speed game. The F1 24's gameplay feels like a rocket. It should be much-much slower.

And once again - it's cool, that you guys pay attention to all the people who plays with a controller. But if you starting a world championship with your own game, you should focus all the people (the bigger part i think), who's playing with a steering wheel. We don't want to assign a joystick-like movement for our steering wheel.
