Community ManagerMy son’s observation is this:
For the casual player If you take full assists and go track to track, assuming you are on the right tyre at the time, you should be able to set the same time as the best driver in the same car. Everyone wants to be Senna or Schumacher in ability. The difference should be down to the car, tyre, strategy engine wear, racing line etc.
Then people can move off assists and raise the AI, but the base must be consistent Qualy to Race, wet to dry, track to track.
He also prefers the pitstop to be automatic, or an option to turn the manual turn in off without going to TV cut scenes.
People here have written great detailed feedback regarding the product that they paid good hard earned money for. A point I would like to add is regarding bug reporting. There's a forum dedicated for bug reporting, but it seems like nobody reads those. I (and several other people) have bug reports that are several months old with absolutely zero acknowledgements. And yet, the only threads that seem to be receiving replies/acknowledgements recently are the ones where people are expressing their disappointment in this game, only for those threads to be locked.
And only those bug reports that have multiple replies have an EA community manager acknowledge them. If tracking these forums for bug reports are difficult, then maybe it is time to move to a more standardised bug reporting/ticketing system, like the rest of the software industry follows. People who just want their product to function as defined (as any well engineered product should) spend time and effort gathering data, formatting it to suit the template, maybe record screenshots/clips showing this bug to submit a report. And what comes out of this time spent? Absolutely nothing.
It seems like the perception of the public opinion of this forum is way more important than actual bug reports. Call me crazy, but I think if those reports are looked into and solved, the public opinion of this game will improve.
