Community ManagerI'm not entirely sold that turning off SM mode on less than 90% throttle is a good call gaming wise, with the way we currently handle the battery and its ramp down it means that on certain tracks (namely those with slower rampdowns) a single click of boost can take multiple laps to be recovered as lifting will now be much more costly.
Still it will be interesting to see how it changes things at high level it may work just fine in the end, could help reduce the advantage of second place as drivers are less likely to benefit from the increased recharge of OT. In which case I'll happily eat my words ^^
However this part :
Is way too vague, what does it mean exactly for wheel users ? It seems related to flicking (get rid of it asap please, tyres should get destroyed at every flick) ?
Now that I played a bit, I can allign myself with most of the other commenters here to say that I dislike the changes. Pretty sure it's aimed at casuals so they don't have to do any or very little management, but yeah... not fun for those who do put in the effort to learn and enjoy those things.
The FFB change can be felt but doesn't seem to make that much of a difference so still unsure of its purpose and would like some clarification.
The update for the battery under low grip condition is good but the reduction of recharge & SM mode deactivation (since they are linked) I cannot enjoy at all. Realism is good but we don't have 1000s of engineers behind us that program all of that automatically, and having to switch modes 20/30+ times a lap is not enjoyable.
I won't speak on other possible issues like AI and driver ratings etc as I don't really play those modes, I however would definitely appreciate an easy way to see the available liveries and how to obtain them, perhaps displaying their unlock requirements in the menu where the player chooses a car in GP modes ?
Also as a previous controller player, you HAVE to do something for them or even acknowledge their struggles. This is really insulting to them with how long their issues have stayed relevant.
