Pad
Ever since this game came out, there has been a very clear difference between pad and wheel. It was clear since day 1 wheel had the upper hand this game, and the gap isn’t even close. We’re talking about tenths lost between pad and wheel even in only 1 corner. You could be the best pad player in the world but in a one lap pace especially you can never be same level as a good wheel player. Especially in the low speed corners you can see the difference between the 2, where wheel can gain up to 2 tenths only there because of the lack of rotation pad has. Other than that, wheel also seems to have more traction this game, making pad lose the only attribute that could match wheel in the 2 previous games. Dear EA, F1 25 has been a great game so far, but this difference is ruining it for pad players as they can’t compete at the same of the wheel drivers. Therefore, it would be great if you can balance pad and wheel with a patch and make sure you give everyone the same chances. Not everyone can buy a wheel or has the space to keep one at home, so they’re forced to play on pad and be slower.
