I genuinely adore this game.
Firstly need to point out I have always and only ever played racing games that are on circuits racing other cars. Never been a rally fan and never had any interest in Rally games. Infact only reason I've got this game is because EA liked me once and gifted me a copy( no I'm not a EA shill. If I'm honest I believe they did me very wrong) So I'm completely ignorant whether RBR and Dirt Rally are infact better. And I'm glad because i play this game without any preconceptions. And don't play it constantly comparing it to other Rally games. Which is a great position to be in. Fanboys will always be negative and find reason to hate on anything that threatens their 100% rock solid belief that their favourite game can't be better. Especially if it comes from EA. We all do it. I do it. I still think F1 Championship edition or the Grand Prix games are better than current ones. im on PS5 so had the screen tearing hell. Plus first rally game. Having to drive the complete opposite to everything my muscles know. I had a serious skill issue and time and time again I'd find myself flying of a mountain or nose planting into a tree. I was adding clicks to the assists in a effort just to stay on track. But I felt the cars handled worse. So to get a baseline i turned all assists of. This is the only racing game is harder when using assists. Instantly started shifting the cars weight around when and where i needed it (I'm a trained driver irl. So i understand the concepts. But if I was seen driving like it at work I'd be fired. ) Before i knew it I was constantly dancing on the brakes and throttle and making less steering inputs than im used to. And to not worry about being smooth and precise. But just quick aggressive inputs and then feel the car drift through the corner. I wss still crashing more than i wasn't. But now I felt how awesome it was to nail a corner. And that I was nailing corners more and more frequently. Scandi flicking and left foot braking being my favourite weapons. And the cars handling fools you into believing your a rally god. I don't care if the physics are more arcade, SimCade of hardcore sim. I care about just how awesome the cars feel to drive. Was surprised to see Jimmy Broadbent had similar take. I warned him the RBR and Dirt fan boys would be coming for him. Sure enough they did 😂 What I find interesting is when I drive a perfect stage and mess it up with the finish line insight. Do I get angry and rage quit. Cursing the game and EA. Nope it's weird I'm annoyed yes but I cant help but smile and laugh. Because me crashing out was all on me. I watch YTers that post WRC and for the most part they do the same. The stages are there to destroy you and will punish the slightest mistakes But you this. So do Codies. So the cars we got are perfectly designed to give us best chance and build up your confidence. Except the RWD beasts. Still a skill issue for me. For me when I not only finished a stage leading but without so much as a single scratch. Genuinely like no other game has I'm shouting and punching the air. Even though I now instantly know if I've ran a good stage or not. I still get excited and wet myself. I still find myself nose planting posts and trees or rolling the cars for days but not as much. But the beauty of this game is when you watch the better YTers who have skills they still are prone to getting it wrong on occasions. It's good for the soul and also shows no one is infallible. Whereas you watch those who Race against overs on circuits be it F1 to Iracing if they make mistakes it's always someone else fault. With WRC it's all on you. My biggest tip for anyone new to rallying. Don't worry about making mistakes, don't worry about difficulty of Ai or worried you'll be humiliated in multiplayer. All irrelevant. Just focus on beating yourself. Firstly understand the technique you need. Learn how to use them and when. Then you'll slowly but surely nail one corner then how to transition into the next. You will quickly improve. Especially if you keep to the same stage. It's more about knowing and learning the car and not what's infront of you. I leave all that to co pilot Once your completing stages without to many incidents then I'd recommend racing Ai in career or single player. Then multiplayer. I say this cause the skill curve is extreme. I know so many people that just gave up and don't play anymore. I thought I'd be one of them at first. But it's first game I've had in decades I truly love. A lot of it is because seeing the pros fly of mountains makes you feel better about your own mistakes PJTierneyCM Thankyou for this game. I'd be pleased and appreciate it if you could pass my thanks to the rest of the team. I'll be honest this game gives me the same excitement and joy when I was a kid and first played TOCA. I live in hope that will one day Happen with F1 games but it's not looking good 😔Solved21Views2likes1CommentGlobal chill out preferences
I'm looking for guidance on how to change all the Sims' preferences to straight or heterosexual. I reached out to an EA representative, and they suggested using the Mc Woohoo mod that we cannot choose global heterosexual preferences. However, I discovered that there isn't even a specific option available within that mod to achieve that. I could also considered the **WW** mod, which does have the capability to make global changes to sexual orientation and can switch preferences to heterosexual. The downside, though, is that **WW** includes a lot of explicit content that I'm not interested in. My primary goal is to modify the Sims' preferences without having to deal with all the additional, potentially inappropriate features that come with that particular mod that I wont use with my Sims. If anyone has any recommendations or alternatives that would allow me to globally set all Sims' preferences to heterosexual without the unwanted extras, I would greatly appreciate your input!Dragon Age 2 DLC not installing.
Hi everyone, I own the Dragon Age 2 Ultimate Edition on steam. I come across to EA to play it, as they make you do, and I can install the base game and play however not the DLC. I go to "Manage Add-ons" then press download. It gets to 96% and says "installation failure. I've tried every single solution I can google but please tell me your fix because at this point I'm just a girl, standing in front of her computer, begging it to download properly. Thank you.How to Simulate Attacks

Community, I have a question, I was evolving Immortals with Sissoko, I already had him at around 90 with the first skill plus obtained in the Rivals objectives, I had done the 5th skill PD* evo and I don't know why it occurred to me to apply the evo that they give at level 34 of the season pass to increase a star in SM and thus complete the 5* and 5* before taking him to the Immortal EVOs of 91 and 92, but now I realize that at the end of this EVO of level 34 of the season pass my face will look like FutBirthday and not like an Immortal hero, my question is, did I do something stupid and will I no longer be able to complete the Immortal evos or will my Sissoko still be able to continue with the Immortal evos? If someone has certain information and can help me, I would appreciate it... And if it is a problem, is there a solution?10Views0likes0Comments2 weeks of broken servers - is this "Player-First"?
It's absolutely insane. 2 weeks now, and EA/DICE still hasn't fixed the community servers! No real updates, no transparency, just automated replies and locked threads. What happened to EA's "Player-First"? We paid for this game, and all we get is radio silence while BFV stays broken. This isn't just lazy—it might actually violate EU consumer laws (Directive 2019/770). If EA can patch cosmetic glitches in hours but ignores game-breaking issues for weeks, then "Player-First" is a joke. We need a real answer, EA. Not another we're looking into it. Not another ignored thread. Either commit to a timeline for fixing this, or admit you've abandoned BFV.179Views6likes2Comments- 129Views1like1Comment
Bought a bundle and its not working
I am new to playing Sims 4 on the PC, so not too sure what I am doing. I bought a bundle on the EA app and they have downloaded and it shows on EA that they are installed, but when I go to play the game I do not see anything from my bundle. I believe it was Cottage Living, Tiny living, and Dine Out. I've closed and restarted the game twice now and still nothing. If someone could walk me through what I need to do I would greatly appreciate it!
