It's still too bad there is no gyro steering!

Ive poured thousands of hours into GT7 racing competitively and people still seem mortified to hear that I've done them all using gyro controller steering on my PS5 controller. Unfortunately, I check F1 games every year to see if a gyro feature has been developed and still it hasn't happened. I find it crazy that people do not use this function as much as I do, however many may not have the arthritis in their hands. It can be somewhat painful just holding the controller for hours while racing, but what would make it impossible is trying to be precise with thumbs and controlling gas/brake and gear changes. So, I sit and wish there were more opportunities with good racing games! I love F1, I even pay for the F1 TV subscription....lol, but I just wait till the games come around for free and play them a bit until I get fed up with only a thumb option on controller. Does anyone else really hate that there is only one viable way to steer on controller?

    I completely agree about adding gyro control for the PS5 and PC players using the PS5 controller. The only reason I bought a wheel and pedal set was that thumbsticks are an ergonomic nightmare. I think you lose a significant number of players over the age of 30 who would play the game a lot more if they could. Note to EA: customers who put a lot of hours into sim racing games are also more likely a new game every year. Also, gamers over the age of 30 are more likely to have issues with the thumbsticks are also more likely to have the money to buy a new game every year.)
