I was watching some of a PSGL race last night where the commentators were saying that basically nobody every goes below 4th gear with the game as it is currently due to the atlow gear torque/wheel spin issue.

 Who gives two flying hoots about what Jarno and the esports want?

There is far more players than 20 or 30 rich spoilt brats.

There is too much focus on them. If the devs spent less time trying to pacify them and fixing issues and accommodating others it would

be much better for all.

Lets get real, not one of the esports players are a part of the community here at EA.

They dont give a hoot about us. If I was to never see the

 F1 esports tab ever again, it'd be much too soon. I'd much prefer the F1 life feature, it was a breath of fresh air.

Apart from Brendon L, L Blakely and  a few others, I dont really see much  all. 

I'm not on about race pace or skill, I'm on about being a decent kind human being.

I made no reference to any driver complaints but rather I mentioned something that the commentators said, which tallied with what the drivers were actually doing. That the very best drivers don't feel able to consistently drive faster by using lower gears and so stick to 4+ instead rather suggests to me that there is an issue but you will obviously draw your own conclusions.

Dismiss Lando's comments if you wish but personally I'll still place significant value in them. Note he is an F1 driver with a keen interest in sim-racing rather than him just being a driver having a quick go on a game for a laugh. Several other real F1 drivers expressed similar opinions on the game when they were racing on it during lockdown too, with the general view being that medium TC was closer to reality that TC off.

I could care less about Lando Norris. I'm not one bit interested in him.

As for the esports players, the next thing they will be saying is that they want a free wind tunnel packaged with the game in order to feel the g's. They dont even play in cockpit view and then whine and moan and whine some more about realism.

Absolutely nothing I've posted related to feedback from eSports drivers.

Do you have any interest in real F1?

Little or a bit. Might watch the highlights on the youtube.

That was the impression I was getting and somewhat explains your disinterest in what the real F1 drivers and teams have to say. What draws you to the F1 games when the real sport is of little interest?

AI STRAIGHT LINE SPEED is a big big problem for the Career Mode. 

Please fix it!!!

It's weird that everything works well for me in GP mode (as confirmed by EA and David).

Yesterday I checked the mode on some tracks and I had a lot of fun, you feel how good the new handling is and the big difference compared to career mode and my team - no significant issues regarding straight line speed.

Also, it was easy to find my AI level, it was always between 85-90, very consistent. As soon as the other modes are fixed I can enjoy this game.

@PatrickSk89 which AI lvl do you use normally in your career?

@Ultrasonic_77There is a fix coming, this was posted by ea in the other thread yesterday

The development team believes it has identified the issue regarding AI speed gain on the straights. Throttle application changes in Patch 1.07 will help, and the team is working to bring parity to AI and player car performance. We will update as soon as we have more news

I've no idea what post of mine you may have been responding to there. Quotes are helpful 🙂. Good to know an update is coming this though. Thanks for sharing.
