EA SPORTS FC™ Team@SenseiBacon7I agree on that point, surely throttle application was a lot more realistic in 1.06 than 1.05. My problem is that since 1.06 for some reason something changed in how the car behaves under breaking and turning, regardless of tyre temps. It just feels very bad for me, and that didn't change in 1.07. In 1.07 throttle application is butt, car handling is butt. In 1.06 throttle application was good, car handling was butt. In 1.05 throttle application was butt, car handling was good.
My personal preference is having a good car handling, even if it meant being a lot more careful accelerating.
Hopefully next patch both car handling and throttle application are going to be good, but considering the quality of the patches they're releasing...
Corey that is the PERFECT description of the problem I 110% agree with you. To me, throttle application is paramount for me because I like a little more understeer so this patch is a total pain in the * for me. They need the 1.05 handling and the 1.06 throttle application. Instead those doofuses got rid of both. Classic EA.
1.05 was good for me, 1.06 was better. 1.07;is the worst of the three.

Very weird. I had the exact opposite experience. 1.05 and 1.06 were utter unplayable trash, with wheel spinning up to 5th gear, random spins on the straights, and a complete inability to apply even a tiny amount of throttle on corner exit without suddenly performing an incredibly ungraceful 720 spin, followed by my car trying to get physically intimate with the nearest wall, barrier, or other car. Since the release of 1.07 I can comfortably hit my apexes, slap on just the right amount of throttle to launch me on my way, and even go on to win the race from mid-pack, all without once doing an impression of a hefty, if very aerodynamic, ballerina.
Then what about that ridiculous automatic shifting bug that's there all of a sudden? I'm still shocked to see the speeds some AI drivers have out of corners whereas I'm upgrading drag reduction, downforce and engine power and it seems to do nothing at all.
I'm a big fan of the franchise but this year's botched. I've got a 20-year old pool liner with fewer patches than this.
