Leaked information about the closed beta

@TheRagebeard  I thought 40,000 was still significant given the likely universe of a topic like this - but it was certainly not “viral” - to your point.

I thought your second point was very important. Most of the comments made were quite negative and most made by people who were not in the beta. They were complaining about things not necessarily related to the beta - but longer term grievances. That tended to feed other incoming comments that ended up being negative as well.

However there were a few comments that were more positive. A couple of them specifically addressed the need to work through car setups to get the car to feel good. For me, this is an important plus, meaning there is a focus on making the handling and telemetry better. The reference items mentioned were engine braking and some of the setup attribute numbers being changed. 

The implication from the more positive statements was that maybe some of those commenting negatively had just jumped into the beta and got to an immediate conclusion. 

But, as I have said in another topic, I think it would be helpful if EA/Codemasters would have a David Greco-like person to walk through questions and comments soon. He was both helpful and knowledgeable prior to, and after the release last year.
