Hey folks,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on this topic. We've shared an update on this which you can find here: Tyre Allocations - Answer HQ.
I can't believe what I've just read in that statement. In so many words, "we'll fix it for the next game that'll cost you another £60".
I'm speechless.
Edit: I've just noticed the 203 XP on the @CM_TGK account, all given by 1 EA account at the moment he posted the statement, presumably to make it try and reflect every single one of us who've posted in this thread are thankful. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I feel a bit sick tbh.
You're never getting another penny out of me.
Community ManagerHey @s00zster @JanKondler,
I just wanted to briefly clarify what you're seeing here. This is an automated part of how XP works on the AHQ Forums, which you can read more about on this page if you'd like.
When a post is flagged as the answer in a thread, that post is "pinned" and will show up as the first reply on the first page. We'll often use that for visibility to make sure information is not missed.
That also automatically adds XP based on the number of replies a thread has received. This is just the way the forums work in general, not something that was manually added or targeted for this thread, as a heads up.
Hopefully that clarifies that aspect a bit more, thank you for the continued game feedback.
On normal forums the "solution" is accepted by the original author of the topic, not by an admin. This "explanation" is not a solution to the problem.
I'm starting to think there is a genuine miscommunication and misunderstanding here.
Codemasters' statement referred to the general function of the tyre allocation and how close to the rules it is (essentially what the opening post was about) rather than specifically about missing a 2nd set of medium tyres (the statement seems to be totally oblivious to this point by saying "we wanted to make sure the player wasn't missing a specific set of tyres). They're just focusing on how allocation works compared to real life and have effectively ruled that as "by design".
Perhaps it would be better if we all piled into the thread I opened a few weeks ago which was specifically about not being able to use a 2nd set of mediums - Can't Use 2nd set of Medium Tyres in a Non-Sprint Race - Answer HQ (ea.com)
If we can bump that thread up, perhaps they might get the message?
