I’m getting better!!!! In slower cars 😁

Finally completed and won  an entire event without receiving any damage whatsoever.   Ok ok t was in a H2 FWD event.  But as I’m a F1 sweat it’s taking alittle time adjusting my SimCade race style.   Now I’m making much better use of left finger braking and better use of my awesome Scandi flicking.  Rather than using it in every corner which often had me rolling my car for days upon days.

Plus got alittle better at setting up cars stability without sacrificing to much  rotation.   

Plus I’m only doing unior rally in career  but unless I seriously mess up I should win.

That all said.  Much respect goes to you guys on wheel or controller who can dance their way through stages in the bonkers mental cars.

I did benefactor invitational in VW Polo  world rally car which was made ridiculously frustrating being on asphalt.  I smashed that car up so much it cost millions in repairs 

So the debate rages is it a sim, arcade or SimCade.   I don’t actually care on snow  and gravel the game is excites and makes me feel like a driving god when I nail a stage.   I’m an old man. To me it’s a game and games are ment to be fun.  I’m having so much fun,  on the odd occasion I do notice a screen tear I’m having to much fin to care👍

But then as I am a F1 sweat.  It’s still bitter sweet.  F1 23 and WRC released within months of eachother.   But one so very bad and one so very good.

I know Rally sweats will have better informed takes from experience if WRC is good or not,  This is my first rally game so have nothing to Compare it to.   So there’s a chance I’m talking nonsense

    mate, its a great game, the fact you can pick it up an get enjoyment from it having never been on a rally game before shows how well codies have done with WRC. Its missing some features id like to see in a rally game, but all in all, its a very good game. I dont think theres anything out there without mods that allows us to drive in so many different real world locations. Iv been on rally games since sega rally 95, yet im enjoying the regularity rallies just to take in the scenary.  

    well done to all involved.

    tips for getting faster, simples, turn off the HUD, just keep the rev counter if desired 😉

    @mickeeiemouse69 Yeah I turned off HUD after I found myself crashing either when glancing to see if I was infront of the class leader or because I was over driving the car to catch up to the class leader. 😂. But one thing I can do in F1 games that I can’t do in this game. I like listening to fast, loud heavy metal when racing. But hearing co-pilot is obviously vital. I did try with just the indicators which didnt go well😂. Apart from the odd corner she calls to early or late which at night especially has me often going through the first gap I see and into a tree or off a cliff. I find I solely rely on and trust her instruction and do as she says: I react better to a female voice. I have daddy issues so don’t listen to or react well to other men telling me what to do😂.
  • EA Sports WRC is my first ever rally game I played, so I don't have any kind of track knowledge of any Rally tracks that could possibly be in previous Rally games. I've only played open-world arcade racing games like NFS and The Crew.

    Even though I am brand new to the world of Rally racing, I still found some bit of fun playing EA Sports WRC. It's different from what I'm used to, but it's fun. 🙂

    I play EA Sports WRC at 100 AI performance level using a keyboard (out of all things lol). Since I don't have any track knowledge of any tracks, I would have to retry and retry for hours to gain the track knowledge necessary to eventually win events at 100 AI performance level.

    And then repeat the whole process of retrying for hours for the next Rally event. xD

    Still sticking to Junior WRC in career despite I have won it.  But even though I finish most stages in various events in career without damage now and  finally got a handle off setting cars up on Asphalt so my confidence to dance alittle faster.   I fear I won’t ever get to enjoy driving WRC Bonkers fast cars in career. Time waits for no man and I fear im at the limit off my old eyes and reactions using a pad.

    However not end of the world.  As there’s Plenty of cars to enjoy,   And im really enjoying WRC as it’s first rally game I’ve ever played.   What always put me off rally games was that I’m a circuit racer and I didn’t think I’d listen or understand Co-pilot in a game.  However now she has my complete trust and I do as I’m told.    Taken some time but now have controller settings that I’m happy with so not constantly tinkering.  80 sensitivity and 5 linearity is where I’m at.  Linearity helps when I apply steering inputs and as I now have all the calls down from co-pilot my muscle memory now flicks my stick the right amount for every corner.   So having a high sensitivity instantly straightens the wheel.  

    Also along with left finger braking and off throttle oversteer are skills Im getting so.much better at.  And they are constantly dancing around on my triggers.  Very much like a pro.  Just in slow motion 😂

    Plus tip for newbs from a newb.  Take the time to develop your driving style in slower cars. They are still fun and plenty fast.    Plus you can improve your skills without having to have on any assists.   Not sure about top tear cars. But the lower tier all drive and handle better and easier with them off
