I agree 100% with this something feels off about the Handling and i hate it. It was unusual using many Flashbacks and Spinning out almost every corner in various laps. They 100% Shadow Patched something out of our control but this is now a Cut for me where i say "I wont buy these games at least not for fullprice or even 60€" they should let the License expire for being untransparent and not Honest with the Community. Thank you for confirming what i had in mind about this.
Agreed the handling albeit improved from F124 isn't great. Way too pointy and aggressive on the front end. Slow corners are awful and that horrible unrealistic flicking still exists.
F123 was by far and away the best handling model they've made. I'm afraid to say it's all gone rubbish since then.
Why on earth they have to mess about with the handling physics within the same regulations is just ridiculous?
They probably need to do it to promote it as a new feature to support a failing game each and every year since EA took over.
I have theory that the esports drivers or maybe even someone who knows something about the way a real F1 car feels gave them input to make the handling more realistic. I still hold the average player would put a real F1 car into a wall pretty quickly if they really drove it. So we mortals need help.
And this is the problem facing EA. Give a game 90% love and the elite 10% despise or give the elite the game they want and praise and 90% of the consumers eventually walk away from.
I am pretty sure you can’t do both without adding a lot of features that allow you to tune the game to your tastes. That requires resources and time. Resources that mean not doing Braking point and time a yearly series doesn’t offer.
Esports drivers dont know how a F1 Car on the Limit feels. Driving lower classes doesnt justify how much of a Feedback you can give to Help developing a Game. The only solution is to work with Real drivers and Engineers together to develop.
And the more real they make it the worse it’ll be for the average gamer.
