We are sick of it EA! 80€ for not being able to play a "finished" game

Im sorry that I have to write this and I am talking for most league racers and multiplayer only players. Certainly for many people on our discord server...  We are sick and tired of trying to play t...

@Dan78loki Ive played these games on pad and on wheel since 2019.
Pad was always the more supported device and especially last year a little too op compared to a wheel. (especially traction, braking response due to vibration, so less lock ups)
this year is the first year ever that the pad and wheel have been equal. The lack of response on a controller is pretty much what you get with a wheel. on a wheel you only react to visuals anyway and not to the feedback.
so i think its fair that pad players need to finally catch up a bit and have the lurning curve a wheel player has to go thru every single game when it comes out. the wheel is so difficult anyway on these games due to no proper feedback it took me about half a year to gain my old pad pace back.
for years now the wheel was at a disadvantage, finally this changed. and it will probably change again in the future so it is what it is. wheel players barely cried as well and just played and played and played to understand. now its your turn.

@WollcottBs sorry still not a excuse.

Been doing this for a while this isn't my first rodeo. I've heard replies like this a million times and I don't give them much notice.

A wheel has always been better than a pad and if you haven't been that. That's on your skill. 

I know I've had expensive wheels and pc sims for a while before I got the ps5

    @Dan78loki If your not quicker using a wheel over a pad you need more practice learning to steer.

    Steering wheel giving you precise full rotation over little tiny stick with limited travel. Accelerator and brake pedals that can be adjusted to give as much travel as you could want against a little trigger that even with max linearity. Your maxed out after pressing trigger 50%

    But granted last year braking kn dual sense was awesome.

    If pads were better than wheels. F1 teams would have done away with wheels long ago.

      @ScarDuck14I didn't say that. I've always been quicker on a wheel.

      Maybe you meant the guy above me

      @ScarDuck14 To be fair coming from pad to wheel quite recently I actually have to say, for me personally, the pad aids far more with braking and acceleration (at least for F1, ACC is worlds apart). Without feeling the point when you're going to lock up the front wheels like you can on the pad, it can prove tricky when trailbreaking in heavy breaking zones. If you can't break correctly, then you can't turn correctly, carry speed, keep tyre temperatures low etc,. So it's not necessarily just based on the players skill to turn. The triggers give fantastic feedback for traction and the wheel feels great for knowing where your grip is. Both provide different benefits.

        I have to turn tge adaptive feedback off, it gets in the way for me and also limits the range, in what u have to play with.  I prefer muscle memory and normal vibrations tbh.

    @Dan78loki of course overall teh wheel has always been the device with more potential for the general player. anything else doesnt make any sense. its a racing game. a wheel isnt a stick. so to expect a pad to be as "good" as a wheel is pretty nonsense. then go play mario kart or Need for speed.
    Still, the pad until this year was heavily benefited under traction and braking. especially in combo with noob abs on last years game a pad in wet conditions for example couldnt have been beaten by a wheel. it was simply impossible.

    the only difference now is that pad players will need a longer time to get used to it. just like people on a wheel. it takes ages to get used to not haveing any vibration that tells you "yep, youre about to lock up".
    and that is all it is. it will only take longer to learn the missing feedback on a controller.
    in our league we already have people on pad that are faster than the fastest wheel users on our discord. so its still possible.
    pad users are only crying because they need a while now to understand the mechanics since they changed quite a bit.
    overall its much fairer now. a wheel will always be superior and that is the rightful thing. we are racing, a stick isnt there to control a car.
