Re: EA WRC is too slow

@Quietpartner Maybe you’re just blessed with the reactions off a fly. Cause I and most of the content creators including the Aliens were definitely didn’t find it slow. I found it actually comforting watching some of the best sim racers on the planet flying off mountains and nose diving into trees almost as much as I was when I first got the game.

Sense of speed on racing games has alot to do with FOV. Decreasing it will. Slows it down. Increasing it speeds it up: all how your brain processes what your eyes see.

I Use bumper cam for specific races and the sense off speed is rapid

Maybe I do have the reactions of a fly. I agree cockpit view gives a good sense of speed, but 3rd person seems unnecessarily slow. Play DR 2 again and you’ll notice. There’s no way to change this in EA WRC. I only play in 3rd person, so it’s a little boring for me. I like to see the car while driving. Also, with 500+hp engines in this new game pinning the throttle around a corner should induce an amazing burnout and drift around corners in a real car, but EA WRC doesn’t seem to allow this kind of driving. They feel more like 200 hp engines even with assists off. I miss the immense power of the rally cross cars in DR 2, which only had 600 hp, not much more than the new rally cars in this game.
