"Our close relationship with the teams has allowed us to refine our handling model, adding greater realism to pad-play"

Oh no. One sentence that says everything.

Don't forget the new 35% race distance option! They're really bringing out the big guns. What ever will they think of next year.

New furniture for F1 life, I've always wanted an old oak wood desk for my fictional house

"A bit like the successful Netflix series 'Drive to Survive' then."

It's gone up in price, The equivalent to €80 just for the base game for us in Switzerland.

I got as far as "A Story mode teaser"

EA is such a regressive software company.Think how good this game would be if Iracing or Kunos had the licence.

Oh man not iRacing

iRacing would give us F4 cars plus 2 or 3 small tracks and then we’d need to buy the 2023 tracks and 2023 cars for around €3000 for the lot, not to mention the ongoing €10 per month.

Kunos - well you might have a point, but they piss me off. They’re always buggering around with the tyre model, physics model, FFB and the end result is often so far from reality that it might as well be an arcade game - current alien times are around 1 to 2 seconds slower than real world times in ACC (at least for the 2022 season)

Don't you know that, in real life, the pilots drives with a gamepad??? They just hide it on videos to avoid hurting the old school fans!

I bet mouse support is still not in, pass again from me. Not supporting them again until this is in, so never then

Boby Kim · May 4, 2023

Can we have FFB with WSAD?

Dominik Hartig · May 4, 2023

On the positive side:
Red flags are being added (if implemented well, this could be a great feature); VR support is still there.

On the negative side:
Sounds like they will increase traction again (F1 22 finally didn’t feel as if the cars were glued to the track, but it sadly seems they are peddling back on this); new option for the race length is 35% instead of adding 75% which would make so much more sense; increased support for controller players leads to the assumption that the game will be more arcade oriented again rather than geared towards sim-racing; no mention of having to look after your brakes or engine during a race (which is a pity as this would add a lot to online racing).

They will probably paddle back on the traction because people want "realism", yet they moan and complain when they get it, and that includes users on this website, and the "esports" aliens. People were rather praising the iRacing one, that is glued to the track, than the codies one, where you had to modulate the throttle.

Had a go on '22 and it was horrible. It felt exactly like '20.
