F1 24 is better than F1 23
I just went back and played 23 for the first time since 24 launched. I have played both games extensively. 23 felt boring in comparison. The cars feel slower in general in 23. steering much more slug...
Forum Discussion
and this is what ive been mentioning in a different thread.
I know kevincal uses full assists. so his experience is completely different. If you run the game is it should be, then its unplayable as its way too unrealistic. way too much grip, too much traction etc.
far too many people suffer with playing with medium and no tc and are overall trash racers and highly inconsistent. so many people would be better off using full tc and using abs. with full tc and abs on you have ultimate confidence of having full control of the car. trying to drive with no tc at a high level is like constantly being on a knife edge. medium tc is quite terrible as well very unforgiving getting on the throttle slightly early.
jarno proved in one of his videos not long ago that full tc was barely slower a lap vs. no tc. a video of his with him at mexico. the main problem is bullying in leagues towards those using full tc which isnt right. even many leagues not allowing people to use full tc even though they are really good solid clean racers with full tc. part of that is certain no assists or no tc guys cannot stand someone beating them using medium or no tc. these kind of guys are convinced anyone who uses full tc is trash and they are wrong.
- @kevincal40 Over years people have posted on here or back on Codies forums. Obviously seeking a little help and guidance. More than you’d expect. People were almost apologetic and asking not to be hated on when they mentioned they were using assists. And not so much now. But when game sold good numbers and especially on codemasters forums. Elitist were always lurking to pounce. But Elitists couldn’t help but shoehorn in a every opportunity they use zero assists top 1% time trial can lap 110 Ai in a 5 lap race using only the brake pedal on their SimRig that costs thousands upon thousands and for that reason alone the game should be specifically designed exactly for them.
Around the time I became ever present. And my love off chat and banter I got to befriend based OG regulars that organically would call out and mock elitist Git Gudery and defend all legit players and play styles and levels. The settings and assist are there to help people adjust the game so noobs the Aliens can get as little or as much as they want or need.
Wasn’t long before Elitists realised no one cared about how great elitists were. Especially when they offered no practical help to people other than “skill issue” “Git Gud”. From self proclaimed elites with all the high end gear but F1 simcade is as far sim as they go. Skill issue is just because someone buys the best SimRig doesn’t make them or entitle them with skill.
For a time Elitist would always post how great they are at release off new game. Until witty mocking banter quickly shut them down
This year i havnt seen many Elitists. More moderate range off pad and wheel players: But this year game sales are a disaster apparently and the likely reason is another year another bad release. Less players.
My final thought. If you have no ambition becoming a competitive racer and like me. To old, bad eyes and I’m only going to get slower. I’ll race careers modes. Offline. Allyou have to worry about is getting what you want or have time for. All assists 0 Ai 110ai. Set. Game to you
If you play public lobbies. Expect bad drivers and bad intentions. It’s public lobbies that a 5 year old can access. Don’t let it stress you out.
If you want to race against players that take racing and keeping out cheats seriously. For the overall enjoyment off everyone. Best option is join a league. Plenty to choose from amateurs to pros. With various leagues having varying assists options. However the downside is setting aside and being available at specific time and day every week.
If you fancy yourself as a future E-Sports champion. But a beginner levels off skill. I’d suggest Time Trial. Concentrate on getting consistent laps times lap after lap across different types the tracks. Then if you were using assists. Turn FullTC instance down to med. and repeat lap after lap. Then turn off another assist and repeat. Also race Ai in career or GP. To help get used to racing other cars. Once you’ve got yourself good pace. With or without assists then. Attempt racing real people.
Some will say I’m wrong and jump in at the deep end no assists and public lobbies. Yes but that will result in rage, sweat and frustration and only learning that race public lobbies are more likely to hate on the game@ScarDuck14 sage advice and glad you’re still hanging around here - so many have moved elsewhere from the earlier years
Assists are needed to learn and my goal was to turn them off but it took a few years early on and now long gone. My aim was to be a bit purist and get some taste of driving F1 machines so a rig, cockpit view no assists was my goal. But I’ll never was or will be beating the 110 AI or the aliens - not the point as too old
I’d say TC and ABS are the assists that should be tolerated/permitted in most situations. Without good throttle and brake mechanical control on your chosen device its hard to be conisistent so those assists are useful and needed sometimes to compensate. The rest can be dsipensed w thru practice easily enough
But should using the ABS/TC be faster than without, all else being equal? Conventional wisdom long said no IRL, may be debatable today but as its not in F1 how to set the strength of it in the game? Would Stroll beat Alonso or Checo beat Max if they had ABS and TC in the same car? If the difference was percieved as fair then maybe not such an issue?
In the game though I want to know what who I’m competing with is using, so filters on TT, races etc are needed to at least compare
- @1_Elipsis_1 There is no "run the game as it should be" . Everyone is free to play the game like they want.
Since years I do full seasons (50%) with friends (in the last years, coop mode) WITH some assists and we are happy with the game like never before.
The handling is so much better and less understeery. The new features of the career mode are fun and make the expierence deeper.
Surely, here are a lot of problems left. Its no secret that we bought the game after 10 patches because the release version is so bugged. This is a problem in many games.
But now our first look of the game is so much more positive than it was the years before.
