Could QA be the reason
So playing my team and the issues I’m encountering have never been an issue in the 2 previous my team modes:
Mainly referring to practice times and the targets set mean having to post lap times seconds faster than I or ai post in qualifying:
Despite bugs. The last two my team modes have always been nicely balanced not just over a race weekend but until maxing off my team car. When it turned into a dog. Or after each patch would do something to unbalance the modes progression.
I didn’t start posting until release off last years game. But I understand CM would first ask regular members on their forum to beta test, As they being familiar with previous F1 games.
But for this years game I believe CM hadt to use EA’s Quality Assurance Team//Department? Or whoever they outsource it to.
And practice programs being so massively out off sync with Qualifying and Race would suggest to me whoever was doing the testing didn’t really have a good understanding off the game: Cause I know the forum members CM would use would instantly spot it. As well as ai op out off slow corners and top end speed.
So I doubt CM had much say in who tested. So I can only blame the board for recommending shareholders accept EAs takeover 😭
