@jenny_a_m FEEDBACK ON THE PATCH (after testing it):So, to those wondering how it works..- CHINA can be added to the calendar between Australia & Imola:- PORTUGAL can be added to the calendar between Mexico & Brazil:This is how it works for seasons of 10 or 16 races.I don't know how it works for seasons with 22 races, but I can only assume all you need to do is to replace TWO of the original 22 races by China and Portugal.It's great to have them in the calendar from Season 2 onwards - thanks to the devs for that - HOWEVER.. it would be great to be able to insert them anywhere in the calendar in the place of any of the tracks we are replacing - for example.. on a 22 races season, let's say I take Baku and Zandvoort out.. then I could put China or Portugal in Baku's place and the remaining track in Zandvoort's place - etc, etc, etc..I think it would be cool if we could 'build' our calendar EXACTLY as we can do when we create an online lobby ourselves - using that same screen and 'mechanics' to add tracks (in any order we want) - just a suggestion.....About the tyres selection, here's how it works if you click on the TYRES ALLOCATION option BEFORE going into the Race Weekend:Now we have 3 options to choose: SOFTER, BALANCED and HARDER - I believe the BALANCED one is the previous (and only) default option and the other two are as it follows:BALANCED (original/default):SOFTER:HARDER:In all options, you still have 8 sets of Softs, 3 sets of Mediums and 2 sets of Hards, but they're distributed differently throughout the sessions.I still need to test them all and get to know exactly how they work for the actual race, depending on the compounds you use during all the previous sessions (FPs and Qs) and also what compounds (and how many sets of each) you have available to you during the actual race, both when you go through all of the previous sessions and also when you just skip everything and go straight to the race - but all in all, I think having these 3 options really already helps a lot, depending on the intended race pit stop strategy the players want to use.BUT, it's also good to check and see if everything is actually working properly, since there are people talking about lots of cars getting DNFed for 'not using different compounds', even when they actually did it - maybe a glitch that would require a patch hotfix (what a surprise, am I right?!..)...I did these tests on an 'old' save (MyTeam, end of season 5 and beginning of season 6) and it all seemed to work just fine - we already noticed that some 'old saves' could have issues after some of the latest patches, but fresh new saves used to work perfectly fine, so.. if you guys can, simply begin a fresh new career just to make sure no glitches would happen - but I also ask the devs to do all they can to NOT 'force' the drivers to drop their old saves and restart their careers from scratch on each new patch - this kinda sucks, come on.....On a negative note, I was hoping that the new patch would help to solve a problem that's been happening to me and some other players on Steam as well for about 2 or 3 weeks now, but.. the problem is still there:I just can't join any cross play lobbies and I keep getting the error message below - if I turn cross play off, I can join Steam only lobbies just fine:I play the game on a PC, through Steam and I have the Champions Edition version of it (not that it matters, but just to let you guys know).....All in all, it was a good patch and I hope you guys can keep trying to make this game better and better - it's still far from perfect, but it still has a LOT of potential and it CAN be improved before we need to wait for F1 23..Quick ad:I stream my F1 22 gameplays on Twitch, almost daily (MyTeam during the week days and Open Lobbies on the weekends - at least before I was getting the damn PM7 error above) - small streamer trying to grow - any support is more than welcome:Twitch.tv/SexyBrigadeiro Cheers, everyone!

Portimao and Shanghai circuits are now available in Season 2 and beyond in Career modes.Added an option to allow the player more flexibility in tyre selection per session during a race weekendYES!!!

EA adding a patch that breaks something else or the added features don't work properly? Huh. Would have never guessed. 🤷♂️

Where are the QA testers I wonder? Do they even exist?

The AI uses medium tyres for 5 lap races if they use all their softs in qualifying, and they have a balanced tyre allocation.

@gladystonff93 hi, how can I manage Tyre selection in my career during a race weekend? Every time I remain with 3 softs for qualifying sessions and 2 hards and 2 mediums but I don't know how I can change or manage it.

@davidec87 Ok there are some bugs with the tyres currently so this may not work because one off the bugs is tyre selection..

But if you don’t have this bug. And I’m assuming your playing career or myteam

Before advancing to race weekend. You have the tyre selection button under the race weekend:

Click on tyre selection. Will bring up your tyres selected. Which by default should be set to balanced. There you can changed to softer or harder

@ScarDuck14 I'm in my career on Ps5. Thanks for your message. I follow your suggestion and I see Tyre selection under race weekend but when I enter I just see the grid without any possibility to change it. In fact there is no buttons to move in the grid of Tyre selection. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, now I can CONFIRM that the TYRES ALLOCATION option is NOT available for Australia.
It was ok and just fine for Bahrain, but I had NO options to choose before going to the race weekend at Melbourne.
The game only gave me this option:
This option happens to be the HARDER one, as explained here:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/F1-22-Patch-1-15-Discussion-Thread/m-p/12003711#M16446
And this is also the option I picked for Bahrain, so.. I wonder if we can only choose the tyres allocation for the 1st race and that 'locks' them for the WHOLE SEASON..
If so, this is bad and needs to be fixed - we should be able to pick different tyres allocations, depending on what track we're racing, right?
And if this was on purpose, then I don't think it was a good idea..
In a way or the other, it looks to me we NEED a fix/hotfix for this, because it's also causing some other crazy bugs (several DSQ for some AIs and players), although I didn't have them myself yet.
I also need to see what's gonna happen on my next race (after AUS) and be sure if this is a problem that happens only in Australia, or if it's happening on all other tracks after Bahrain..

@SexyBrigadeirohow long from me flagging your other issue to attention being payed to it? 😀.

I’ve also listed and passed on all the different tyre selection and Dsq bugs. It’s all being investigated

As He-Man says…. I Have the Power!!!!! 😂

LOL - it's hard to measure that, mate, but it clearly helps us all and the game to be better - thanks for doing what you can for the devs to take a look at these issues - let's hope they can find definitive solutions as well - cheers, my friend!

@SexyBrigadeiro Well I was going to get some marathon sessions in today/tomorrow. And because off the last patch was looking forward to it… Now I think I may wait for the next patch and play some FIFA 23 instead.
