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 F1 2021 too, i am in season 1 at Imola and because of the upgrades, the pole lap was already 1 sec faster than in GP mode on the same difficulty. I don't like it too much, by the end of the season i will have a 4-5 seconds faster car compared to GP mode? In my opinion it's too much! I think the setting would be very usefull for those who want to play a career, with driver transfer and etc but they don't want upgrades which changes their cars performance. Let me know what do you think guys, if it's a good ideea or not.

@ScarDuck14 Its an interesting idea but a certain progression is needed for many players to feel like they achieved something.. And would take a lot of work to balance things properly haha but its a neat idea and for sure would be fun..

I personally prefer the way of resetting at a random occassion - like a real regulation change, so all teams start around 3/4 to 1/3 and can spend resources for the reg change to start better than absolute 0 in the next season... Would still allow progress and shake up the field a lot but that would also take quite a lot of AI training..

Anyway the career modes have a lot of potential!

@Meza994 But no Appetite to explore that potential. Which is sad as they only really need more depth(Nothing extreme that needs micro managing) and immersion(I see people post they like and they and want that).

Must admit I’d prefer better and more variations with the race intros

And it’s F1 having detailed information on every track. So it points you in the right direction when setting up the car would be nice. And a interactive engineer to help with setups

@ScarDuck14 Agreed except for micro managing the car setup is a must😝

I honestly didnt listen to the race intros for a long time haha partly because i dont do career mode seriously and partly because its always the same..

We could go on with this list of things that COULD be improved forever haha
