NOES! THE VERSTAPPEN PROBLEM IS BACK!

Hi guys,

I'm sorry to say this, but I have very, very bad news about F1 22...

Remember when I said in an earlier post that Max Verstappen is no longer OP like he was in F1 2021?

Well, since Update 1.11, which was the 1.10 hotfix, I did a race in Driver Career, and during the race, I saw Verstappen go with a pace that is far beyond any living being, and I played on level 71. Prior to the patch, Verstappen was never this fast before, and suddenly, he's back to dominating every single session like in the last game, which makes zero point zero sense, and therefore ruins the game even more by making every Career season predictable, because the champion is already set and the game wants to replicate it by all means, further confirming my concerns about EA trying to make it a replica of F1 2021, which had the exact same problem.

Dear EA, if you're reading this, fix your flipping game! I do not want a second F1 2021, I want an F1 game where every AI driver has a chance to win, and not where just one driver dominates everything. I can only relate to this guy in this video: https://youtu.be/Nqsw-8irbVk

Verstappen is no God, and therefore shouldn't be made a God in F1 games. This just ruins the fun, and completely destroys the experience. We don't want to have Verstappen win all 10 seasons of a Career, at least give all other AI drivers a chance! I mean, what about Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, even Sergio Pérez? Why is none of them faster than Verstappen?

I don't understand how you can ruin an F1 game like this. After 2021, I thought it can't get any worse, and now with the Verstappen problem back on our necks, all I can say is: Everything can get worse if the wrong people are in charge. This honestly reminds me of the end of Need for Speed Heat, because the Ghost dev team has been shut down. And they had tons of stuff planned for NFS Heat, like Seasons, more cars, and so on, and we will never get to see any of it because EA says so.

Honestly, I think I'm going to skip the next F1 game if this keeps up. If EA don't let Codemasters do their work and have them fix the things that need fixing, there's no reason to continue playing, sorry.

- Nico

    Sounds better than the problem I’m having lol. At least Max dominating is more believable than what I’ve got. I’ve got McLaren dominating everyone with the 4th fastest car. Norris is always getting front row starts despite it. And nearly always winning.

    @LuckyNico92 Not to the extent I have it you wouldn’t lol.

    I simulated 2 and 1/4 seasons of a new My Team playthrough. By mid season 2 Norris (and Alonso who replaced a retired Riccardo) had shot up to 1st and won the WCC. That is entirely unrealistic. And Alonso nearly won the WDC despite having a weaker car against Max. When Max should’ve won decisively. I don’t mind the game making teams rise and fall in the order. But the rate at which McLaren blitzed to the top was hilarious. By early Season 3. Norris (and now Ocon) have a 80 point lead in the Constructors by Spain and Norris has a 46 point lead over Ocon in 2nd. By Spain!? 6 rounds in and Lando has pretty much already won.

    @LuckyNico92 Though I do get the frustration of having 1 driver/team dominate constantly. Though for me if it was Red Bull or Ferrari or Mercedes dominance I could endure it. Especially with Mercedes as I’d be ok with fighting Hamilton and Russell.

    @GameOfEnder95 I would be both delighted and impressed if Norris performed like that. And if he did, I would love to have him as a teammate in My Team. 😊

    @GameOfEnder95It's just the first race, so nothing big happened yet, Ferrari have the best car by a small margin to Red Bull, and Mercedes slightly trail behind. McLaren is slightly behind Alpine, which are almost on par with Alfa Romeo.

    @LuckyNico92 It’s not Norris that’s OP. It’s the car. I wanted to see if it’d happen in driver career. I started where the real season is atm. And Norris and Daniel got P1 and P3 in Monza and Singapore. It’s ridiculously comical.

    @LuckyNico92 If it’s anything like mine. Expect McLaren to be leading in performance by early season 2. And Lando will probably be your season 2 WDC. I know this as Alonso only lost the title to Max by 10 points. And Norris lead a 1-2 finish twice in the final 5 races. Enough to swing the title.

    @LuckyNico92 Do you actually watch F1? You want every ai driver with a chance to win. Like Latifi? What you want is even more unrealistic😆
