@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. 🤷♂️

@kismet8051this year i want to do a career with haas but the white rims are really bad, also i dont like a myteam career because of the white rims. at d1 i think it will be fixed with the first patch, but they are still white lol, i have no words
Am I right that these wheel rims are only visible from the car exterior, rather than while driving (unless using chase cam)? As such I'm seriously struggling with how this is such a major issue as to prevent you doing a career with Haas.
Yes this is wrong but honestly there have been and continue to be MUCH more significant issues to address with the game that have not unreasonably taken priority IMHO.

@ScarDuck14 IMHO right now cosmetic things should be ignored at the moment and the dev team just needs to look real close at their product as it runs to see if anything can be done with tyre allocation and the subsequent DSQ problem in sprint weekends, I’ll have to try a new career save and see if it indeed is just the sprint weekend, perhaps I need to select an allocation that wasn’t used in that race weekend and see what happens in a normal race weekend, someone else reported that they used H-M then decided to change to Soft to get fastest lap and it DSQ him, now that’s not very nice, imagine the first instance of this irl 😂 the teams would have a right fit about it:
“What do you mean he’s disqualified for putting on the soft tyre?! He’s only trying for the fastest lap as before! I don’t care if the game does it, this isn’t an algorithm!”

@jenny_a_m Unfortunately the new update introduced horrible audio stuttering when i previously didn't have any, so something has to be broken. Even changed audio quality to ultra low and nothing improved.

@Rapheal629 100%. Gameplay is for me is king.

Especially in a F1 game. I get I’m old and from a generation when the best graphics we had was a few square pixels. So I don’t understand why there’s real anger because a part off the run offs on a track is missing some paint. Or no leaves and wildlife.

When I play the game my eyes are focused down the track or looking at The apex. Basically always be looking at where you want the car to go. So our brain better judges braking point, corner entry, and apex

I’ve no time to look at the scenery 👍

sorry for the question, but is there any news regarding the disqualification bug for mandatary tires?
I had read about this bug and i have suspended my MyTeam career to avoid problems, but haven't seen any game updates in the meantime.
I wanted to know if I can take it back safely or risk being disqualified at every race. At the moment I'm in Monza and I don't feel like starting a career from zero.

@clovis993Reimplementing tyre selection has caused a few different issues. so may take a little bit off time to find and fix them. The allocation choice at the start is off a season… staying locked for every race after. I’m hoping that it’s a case off a new coder not realising they hadn’t unlocked every race:

The Dsq will should only be a issue once you’ve started a new season and changing tyre allocation to either softer or harder. Don’t change it and I think you will be fine.

I’ve done 5 races in a new season and not a single Dsq. It seems to be just sprint weekends it happens as the tyre allocations are different: and if you chose softer/harder allocations I’m thinking those choices don’t take into a account the sprint race which causes conflict and Dsq

Dont apologise for asking a valid question it’s is named EA answers.. after all and I like answering when politely asked👍

"It seems to be just sprint weekends it happens as the tyre allocations are different: and if you chose softer/harder allocations I’m thinking those choices don’t take into a account the sprint race which causes conflict and Dsq"
You may be right, mate, but don't forget I just had a weekend at Imola a few days ago (sprint race and everything) and I'm locked with the Harder tyres allocation and I had no DSQ issues.
My save is that 'old' one, from day 1 and I'm currently in my 6th season, etc.. - MAYBE what you said is true only for fresh new saves (created after patch 1.15)..
Once again, we're all a bit confused and there are so many possibilities and theories about this issue right now, it's actually impossible to know anything for sure - the main issue though is the fact that the tyres allocation only work for the 1st race of the season and that locks the player with whatever choice they make (balanced, softer or harder) for the rest of the season..
I also tend to believe that this was NOT intended (and it's just a glitch) that will be fixed on the next patch - cheers!
=)
