EA_Groguet you got any updates?
I'm really not enjoying the game like this, the tyre wear on a pad is horrendous compared to a wheel.
EA and Codemasters you need to make adjustments please to bring the pad tyre wear in line with that of a wheel. The disparity between the two is actually enormous. Was it even tested?
This was never an issue before on previous versions of the game, so why now?
For those who play in league racing where pad players go against wheel players is a massive problem. The tyre degradation on a pad is between +15% and +20% higher per stint!
I honestly do not understand why the game was released this way? This is something that has to be adjusted.
Completely agree with this comment and I would also add something. Back in F1 24 when it was released the handling was really bad and we know it was. Tho, pad was actually slightly better than wheel at that time and EA immediately changed the handling to help wheel drivers and make it balanced again. Great choice even if the criticisms didn’t stop for the whole game, at least it was balanced. Now that all of us pad players are complaining why is EA not doing anything about it? We are the majority of the players in the community and most of the competitive ones alongside the casual ones too are complaining for the same things. Why is EA ignoring us tho?
