Re: Does F1 22 support two racing wheels in split screen mode? (PS4)

Sorry to have to say that but for EA this is an absolute marginal use case.

If you have space and money for two steering wheels, you usually use two playstations. If you look at the use of the split screen, it will be in the very single digits. yYou can probably count the ones that have two steering wheels on one hand.

As understandable as your concern is, it makes no sense for EA to invest time.

No rating, purely as an explanation.

    Total BS response. My two wheels cuts CONSIDERABLY less than buying a second PS5!

    Thanks for sharing how much money and space I have, and how much effort it would take EA to extend one class in their code.
    Since you know everything: What is time, and how can I build a time machine?

    I think they underestimate the people that acctually is sitting down and enjoying the possibilities of “couchgaming”! 

    EA has almost only two games left that has that feature and that is FIFA and NHL! Not everyone likes to be isolated in your own room and not meet people IRL.

    if you think about it it’s even stranger that they don’t have this feature as default and marketing it as a way to actually be social and have fun with people in your close proximity! 😊

     
    I also have two wheels and hav been missing this feature for a long time! I would by al kinds of games F1 , rally or games like Mario Cart (or similar) if they had this! Now instead I just buy an update every 3-4 year instead! And if it’s not fixed I’m acctually thinking of buying the games at all! The only game I will buy  is GranTurismo, both fore using in game modes online and for couchgameing!

    SO ……..Codemasters, EA and everyone else……it couldn’t be hard to implement this in an update or integrate it in the game already from the start!  Or are Polyphony digital just so much better at programming and understanding the full market needs compared to you?

    The new PGA Tour game will have this too for what it's worth, plus of course F1 22 does. It was only with wheels that was in question earlier in this thread.

    So did anyone find an answer if F1 2021, F1 2022 or F1 2023 support two wheels in split screen, have tried almost everything, only one working at a time. Same with Dirt 5.
