Rightly so? On what planet? The one where a 50,000+ to 1 ratio of pad to wheel users is not considered important enough to worry more about the 50,000 instead of the 1? This would be a catastrophically stupid idea.
I wonder what the actual ratio is. Are there more pad than wheel users for starters...
That said, I agree with your key point that if performance sucks for pad players then it needs fixing.

Did you just pick tyre temperatures as a random example above rather than having seen you had an issue with tyres overheating?
I think it's generally true that the cars understeer more following the update. If you're getting this with the default setups then the simplest setup change to try to help is increasing the front wing.
If you're having issues with the AI in career mode you're far from alone. In GP mode I believe they're better.
- Hansenhaus3 years agoNew Veteran@Ultrasonic_77 I can say from the sessions I did with default setups tyre temps were not an issue or at the very worst, manageable.

I think this patch is appropriate.
If you watch the real onboard video with telemetry, the throttle control is similar to what it is now NO TC. medium TC is providing more margin to pad users and beginner.
I don't know why you complain so much.

There are vastly more pad users than there will ever be wheel users, just owing to the cost. If wheels came as standard with a $500 console, or with any graphics card over, say, $600, then there *might* be more wheel users. But as we don't live in la la fantasy land, of course there are more pad users.

I agree there are almost certainly more pad than wheel players but I've never seen any actual data on this, so I was just making the point to be careful about overstating the importance of one or other user interface.
I absolutely agree with your main point that pad performance matters.
Sorry, I came across as way more aggressive than intended there. My point stands, however, and I really would like to see them focus less on what their "Influencers" want, and what the vast majority of the playerbase need. Stable AI, trigger vibrations for pad users, and cars that don't teleport through the track, lol. Oh, and I'd like all the expensive interiors on my supercars put back, too.

It's not just influencers who use wheels. There are HUGE numbers of regular players who do (like me), and there's obviously going to be some correlation between the biggest fans of racing games and having wheels. Obviously far from everyone can afford either the money or space for a wheel but most would want to and so in time many do. I'm only making the point that I think you're massively downplaying the importance of wheel players of the F1 games.

I have now requested a refund of the purchase price through Microsoft (Xbox). I've had enough. I can only recommend it to everyone. This is the only way to put enough pressure on EA

Still cannot even launch the game. Crashes when starting game.
