As Henry Ford said, if he'd asked people what they wanted, they'd have said "faster horses".

@gallusnumptyIf you are saying this to devalue my feedback, then please expand why.
Secondly, Henry Ford never said that. It is a common misconception he uttered those very words. Someone else used Henry as an example, something like "If Henry Ford would ask ppl what they want, they probably tell him faster horses" - somewhere in the late 90s in a book.
The true quote Henry Ford used was "Being market-led implies being led by the consumer — and consumers are bad at coming up with innovations" - which is true, and I agree with. For the bigger picture this means EA & Codies shouldn't take all feedback and apply it blindly. But to call on this quote and say there is "innovation" with "F1-Life" & "Supercars"... No. EA & Codies themselves even call in the press that this game is rather an EVOLUTION not a REVOLUTION. What that implies is, no innovation 😉.
(edit: if you don't believe me why there's reason to lack evidence on this quote, check https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/07/28/ford-faster-horse/ or other multiple sources on the internet) - Ultrasonic_774 years agoHero

That analogy only works for people who having seen F1 Life are now pleased to have it...
