FIX THE CONTROLLER TYRE WEAR NOW!!!

Incredibly interesting that someone has already got back to post about.m being unable to log in. So I say again, obviously these are monitored. Have some decency and admit you know there’s a problem between the wheel and controller experience. At least then, we’ll will be validated with our feedback.

Still waiting for this game to go on discount so havnt played yet.  But after thousands of hours in previous games on controller.  Massively increasing max wheel rotation has always worked for me in terms of tyre wear and temps.  If that doesn't work.  Get a Kontrol Freak extender stick.  Makes steering way more precise helping tyre wear.   I do both and I'm not only a second or two faster across all tracks with them both wear and temps are much lower.  

Cpayne32​  is a player just like you. He "monitors" the forums in his own free time.  He replies to posts when he can help.  He doesn't know if it's a problem or not as he plays on wheel.  He has no direct communication with the developers 

As I also mentioned in the Italian forum, the issue is that the maximum steering angle has increased a lot compared to F1 24. 

If in F1 24 steering 100% gave you a certain amount of lock, in F1 25 you get significantly more, which leads to a situation similar to what used to happen with wheels in the early versions of F1 24, where players had to use excessive steering angles just to get the car to rotate properly.

This causes several issues: tyres wear (too much steering angle makes the tires scrub and degrade faster), slow direction changes (the more angle you use to steer left to right or vice versa, the slower the car responds), and traction problems (if you apply throttle with the wrong steering angle, the car often becomes unstable).

To solve this, there are two options: either a patch reduces the pad’s maximum steering angle, or an option is added to the pad settings that allows players to adjust it themselves, just like steering rate, saturation, linearity, etc.

Completely agree, they've well and truly made a complete dogs breakfast of the tyre wear on a controller in F125.

I'm convinced there must be loads of developers out there that would love to have this license and would all make a better job of it. Not only from a game perspective but also communication. 

The two massive issues this year are tyre wear on the pad and  wet weather, both atrocious.

Not a single peep from Codemasters or EA to say it's being worked on.

Unacceptable and just not good enough!

Don't worry, they won't do anything. We've been posting on the forum for two months and they haven't done anything.

Hey there,

To reduce tyre wear, could you try reducing the Steering Rate and Steering Saturation within the controller settings? That can help achieve a smoother driving experience, which can reduce tyre wear.

@ EA_Groguet Adjustments to lowering the steering rate are utterly miniscule in regards to seeing any significant improvement to tyre wear on a controller, when the tyre wear is so excessive in the first place.

I run 100% steering rate and 0% steering saturation and my front left tyre wear at Silverstone on a medium tyre is excessively high compared to wheel players. After 7 laps my front left is cooked, whilst the wheel player can extend to lap 12 at least. 

If this is the solution from EA, then the game may as well be in the bin!

How is it acceptable that we pay £90 for a game that was never tested properly and poorly developed? 

The difference in wear rates on a pad compared to a wheel is around +15% to +20% per stint! higher. How is that possible?

Reducing the steering rate recommendation and saturation is so insignificant in the great sceme of things here. How can pad players successfully compete against wheel players in competitive leagues like this? Because in previous games this was never an issue? 15% to 20% PER STINT higher degradation on a pad compared to a wheel. Reducing the steering and saturation rate is not going to fix that whatsoever! It may improve what is a dire situation by 1% to 2% maximum.

It's simply not good enough, it has to be said. Things like this should be identified in early development and rectified before releasing the game.

This is yet again a complete failure to do the basic things right. Instead of prioritising utter drivel and meaningless gimmicks, get the fundamentals correct first. 

Your recommendation of reducing the steering rate and saturation rate is abundantly clear that you have absolutely no idea just how poor this situation is. 

Codemasters and EA have let down a massive amount of people with this.

This is a huge issue and needs fixing.

…what a shameless answer. There are dozens of posts about the tyre wear on pad which explain you really can‘t do anything against it. It does not matter if you drive with a super low steering rate or saturation. It helps maybe with 1-2% per stint but if you want to compete on the highest level in this game you just can‘t in this game. Absolutely no problems in the older f1 games though. Pls don‘t give such a ignorant answer when the problem is your game and you know it

Really EA_Groguet​ :D

What an answer to a very obvious problem. This cant be a serious answer...
