Don't include that straight-line speed reduction in the DLC. Just change the teams and drivers and remove DRS. That speed reduction is awful.
The problem EA is facing is what are the regulations they are supposed to implement. The upcoming April 9th meeting could change quite a few things, and given the reaction to the new regulations, it is not unreasonable to expect other changes later. The size and weight of the car (as well as tire size/width and floor of the car) are pretty straightforward. Additionally, active aerodynamics seem to be pretty straightforward as well, although the rules of when they can be applied is supposedly part of the April 9th discussion.
It is the electric energy side of things that is unclear. Rules have already been changed once for qualifying. The interaction of the combustion engine power and electric energy power is the challenge, and at this point, is unbelievably confusing. In terms of watching a race, unless you can see the battery levels all the time, it is hard to follow what is happening in the race - and makes watching the race not very enjoyable at all.
So the challenge for EA is at what point do they think the regulations have settled down enough to try and provide a reasonable facsimile of the 26 season rules environment.
I personally think it may be more cosmetic for this year. Which yes they can easily implement the straight mode and overtake modes, i think the battery levels and harvesting is going to be far too complex.
F1 27 i think will be the true reflection of the game
Cpayne32 The challenge potentially for for the F1 27 game is that there maybe an adjustment by the FIA in the engine regulations at a scale that EA will have to observe quite a few races at the beginning of the 27 season before they can reasonably come close to start trying to model the car's behavior.
The Norris incident where he didn't want to pass Hamilton near the end of the race but the battery power took over and passed him anyway (and then Hamilton immediately passed after that) - or Hamilton being told to reduce acceleration by 15% on corner exits to increase his overall speeds or the Bearman crash - reflects the importance of the April 9th meeting. Hopefully they can fix this, but some have implied it may take another major revision of the technical regulations.
