Petition to revert controller handling to before the 1.7 patch

So with the 1.7 patch Codies changed the controller handling. Here's the list of what they changed: - The game now autocorrects if you overangle the car into the corner, making you understeer off -...

So we've gone from the handling model feeling bad for wheel users and great for gamepad users, to the handling model just feeling bad for everyone.

Why anyone decided to not just use the handling model from F1 23 is still absolutely beyond me.

@GrumpsMcDumps Fully agree with that 100%. Although F123 had it's issues with a controller (loose rear end with full TC), the handling model overall was by far the best one they made.

I have said this on previous posts over the last few days. Why are they changing the handling model so much when it is within the same regulations? Small tiny tweaks was all that was needed. For example keep it the same as F123, but make the cars half a second faster or so, to be in line with this season.

What I find so incredibly annoying is they put so much effort into changing the handling model for the worst and completely neglected the rest of the game.

This is by far the absolute worst handling model I have ever experienced in any racing game. Garbage!

Each patch has had a change in handling. I have to relearn the game's handling and modify my setups to work again, only to have the handling change by the time I am somewhat competent using the new handling. 4 updates, and 4 different changes to the handling. EA needs to stick to one handling model whatever that is, it certainly isn't this one.
