In-game steering animation delay

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Wheel animation has a big delay after you input any controls.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Any time you drive a car with the in game wheel visible
What happens when the bug occurs? The car does respond well to the controls, but the animation has a considerable delay. It's distracting.
What do you expect to see? I want it to be more responsive when I drive, getting rid of the weird feeling.

The game has a considerable amount of animation delay when steering in real life in comparison to the game itself. Just look at the in-game wheel and you will notice it pretty easily. It's kind of annoying.

    The in-game wheel does appear to have some smoothing applied. 

    Check your display settings to make sure it is in "game mode" as this can have a significant effect on input delay.

    Thanks.

    Not only that, compared to Dirt Rally 2.0 and Gran Turismo 7, the EA WRC steering seem as if it had some smoothing for the actual steering as well, not just the animation. Sharp turns on my steering wheel are interpret as smooth ones in the game. It makes it difficult to drive the racing line on tight consecutive turns when the tires don't seem to turn where I point them to.

    I also measured 50% more delay from turning the wheel to when the tires in the game turn, compared to Dirt Rally 2.0 and Gran Turismo 7. It also doesn't feel like just an animation delay, the steering doesn't feel immediate like it should on a steering wheel.
