Possible setting to switch off R&D completely?

Hi, maybe someone from EA, like @EA_rephii could give a little feedback or passing the ideea to devs. I usually look to play online and i thought i could give it a try to career mode, i tried it in F...

@HempyjrIf you're on pc it's easy, you can use CE to freely adjust the rate or completely disable R&D resource gain for both you and and AI. That's what I do during late games where cars are all near max out, I drop the gain to 25% rate and the effect is very significant especially if there's regulation change.

@c4a0205c834729c8You can’t. You can reduce it. By setting game to expert mode then going to settings and career options. and CE control electronics and whilst it wore out fast in last years game. This year it never wears out so no need to upgrade it. It may fail though but Ive yet to have a CE failure.

  @ScarDuck14 Correct but i want such a feature too.. or at least set it to a real minimum so over the course of a full season there are only tiny changes.. Like 10% resource points gain at most.. But then its my wishful thinking of what the game could be again😂

    @Meza994 maybe start off every season cars performance could be nerfed.
    
    Or maybe R&D upgrades can only be used for a set amount off races. Some last longer than others depending on the parts. Once you’ve completed set races for part. You lose it and would require you to upgrade it again if you wanted it.
    
    So over the course off Ten seasons your car performance level will not just increase but decrease during the season: It it was well mapped out where certain upgrades worked better with others. I think it would add a better layer to long term thinking. Rather than just upgrading what’s next without thought.
    
    Would obviously then keep the cars pace in check.
    
    Then You would never have all ai teams in the silly situation off maxing out and being equal performance🤷‍♂️
    
    However proper thought and attention to detail would have to go into this to work and not just scripted. So progression was organic for both Ai and human teams. So won’t make it in the game even if this is the best idea in the world ever.

  @ScarDuck14CE ofcourse that it means control electronics, but in the answer above, stands for something else too if you are on PC. It can be used for career mode and it works and you can stop R&D for you and AI or you can set the resource points gain to 25% or 50% and there are small changes like @Meza994 said, but you will be banned from online if you use it in online lobbies 🙂

    @Hempyjr Cheers dude I’ve almost got everyone convinced I’m all knowing. Now you’ve just gone and outed me😂
    
    I haven’t got a PC and I don’t go online now I’m old and slow 😀
    
    But still Thank you for helping clarify the stuff I wasn’t aware off for the op
