Re: EA, please fix the laggy steering

@Mike885 

Something to check for if you are using a TV as your display:

Make sure your TV is in "Game Mode" as not being in that mode can cause significant perceived input delay.

Thanks.

    Thank you for the reply.

    I know about the game mode setting on the tv display. I am using a PC monitor. Im sure its not the cause.

    The lag is a part of the way the game was made.

    If one of you community managers have the ability to send this request to the people in charge at EA of fixing the game, I would be thankfull and the NFS gaming community would also.

    Can you please reply if this is possible to do ?

    The solution would be to make the steering wheel animation in the game be in real time with the joypad stick control, currently the wheel in the game always steers with the same speed, regardless of the speed the player turns the stick on the controller. That is why to the player this looks like laggy steering and the game is not precise to steer, it feels like driving under the influence or something simmilar.

    I think the software team at the game developer will understand the problem, and fix it with a software patch.

    Thank you for all the work you do, to you the community managers and also to the development team.

    Could I also ask what is the best way to send patch suggestions to the development team, from a gamer ? (what method has the most probability that they will read it and fix it ? )

    I am aware that in most cases, videogames get patches for a few months after release, then it stops being patched. (It depends on the publisher and their way of supporting a game after release ).

    Thank you for the answers.

  • @Mike885 I support you on this too.
    The game is almost unplayable, I played a couple of NFS games across the years and this time in the NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered, the car is simply uncontrollable. A simple press of the steering buttons sends the car into the sides and if you manage to avoid that, it takes seconds before you are able to put it back into a straight line.
    Last year I finished The Run (had it for several years but never really plaied it), that 2013 version was a lot more realistic, allowing you to go out of the track into the sides and the steering in it was working very well.
    Perhaps an option to set the steering sensitivity could fix this easily. From my real-life driving experience (for sure not at this speeds) - the way it works at this time in the game is simply un-natural.

    My apologies, but the tv isn't the problem, since so many games I play do not have this issue - including other NFS games. Within the 3rd mission of me playing NFS Hot Pursuit "remastered" on my ps4 I noticed it enough to google it to see if it's fixable. Fix the issue instead* of giving pointless "solutions", thanks EA.

    This is a fundamental problem that ruins the experience and EA doesn't care because they already got my money. Great.

  • really, that's your advice? this has absolutely nothing to do with the input lag. im using multiple monitors, and yes they are both set into game mode, and it makes absolutely no difference. game mode is just  a collor/saturation/contrast/tint/brightness preset, it has nothing to do with the synchronization of input to action. your really talking to PC GAMERS like they don't know better. we are nerds. we know tech. your game is broken, instead of making excuses just fix it, stop ripping people off with broken software.
