EA Staff (Retired)You would all just make my life 10 times more complicated than what it is, and the time is never enough.
Also we would just be giving more tools to exploit to esports guys, and once it is exploited, everyone here will go from, oh so nice new system to, is so crap, you codemasters are ..... And everyone will just get angry at me. Plus, this would be something to plan, design and code at the beginning of a project, not when the game is almost released.
@DavidG53Nobody said it must be done for F1 22😏
I think everything we bring up on the forums is just meant as a genuine idea that we would like implemented at some point, doesnt matter if now, the next game, the game after etc. Just things we would like to see.
I get your point but is it justifiable to limit a games potential because some will exploit it and idiots will blame the dev for it? Like take the Souls/Borne serious, it gets exploited like no tomorrow yet the fanbase doesnt hate on the devs.. Okay thats saying more about a toxic fanbase of F1 games🤔 Just to emphasize it, i can really understand your points but people would even hate on you when theres nothing to exploit "eww how boring, this game is no fun" or something like that.. But again, i know its very difficult and most fans arent grateful no matter the effort!
Just out of curiousity, how bad would you deem the exploit potential of 2 modes we could adjust the deployment for each gear (2nd-8th) on a scale from 0.2 to 0.7? Just limiting to whats useful
@mariohomohI think you are the only one thats actually butthurt about the idea of limiting the ERS changes.. didnt see a huge outcry over the iRacing W12 with limited ERS changes😱 And those are all simracers😱😱 must be clueless casuals none the less, how dare they being able to not be disgusted by it😂
And you bring up the argument of strawman fallacy😂 shame on you😜
All in all, when I go back playing F1 2019 and have to micromanage 5 ers modes and 3 fuel mixes throughout the race it feels like a nightmare to me.
I think, that good idea may be approach like with fuel on the F1 2020 - less differences between all the ERS modes, so micro management would be less powerfull.
And maybe four or five modes:
Mode 0: Fail-safe mode, to use only in case of failure - no deployment, no charge, or small charge
Mode 1: Charge - more charge, less deployment, maybe 60% charge/40% deployment
Mode 2: Default - equal charge and deployment 50/50%
Mode 3: Push - less charge, more deployment, 40% charge/60% deployment
Mode 4: Overtake - 80% deploy, 20% charge
Mode 5: Quali - Deploy about 100% allowed deployment trough full lap distance
All of the modes should be pre mapped for each circuit, or we can map it manually. OR just on the car settings, we can set manually deployment/charge rate for modes 1, 2 and 3.
I think It would be more realistic, and it will make micro management, like in 2019 less powerfull.
We can always lock the quali mode only to practice, and quali sessions, and make ofertake effective only on high speeds.
But I know that, on this stage of the game development, it's so hard do program, and test it well, so it's rather idea for the F1 23 game
@Meza994If you want to save battery for the end of the race don’t use overtake. Then your battery will recharge so you have battery at the end of the race.
Personally id like it to be like the drivers have it irl so that the driving is down to how you drive not your management skills with ers and stuff that the drivers don’t control. Plus putting this into to system while the race is going on will just encourage micro management which isn’t realistic.
Regards to the rate of charge depending on battery level I’m pretty sure I saw something said about it when it was first introduced by codemasters, however this is also why you don’t see esports using it unless they need to as the power output is less due to the battery being in a higher recovery mode.
I have also experienced a similar thing that with a lower battery percentage say below 30 the power is less than when the battery is say above 70 and when you have none left the power is significantly less and therefore you are slower than if you have battery.
This is why I also don’t use the ers unless I need to and never let it get less than 30 unless I’m on the last lap trying to close a gap.
plus as you’ve said what we have now is the most realistic and that’s what most of us want from the game when driving the cars and not have to worry about what soc mode etc we are in.
