Unfortunately same old same old from codemasters

Recommended Posts

I have bought every f1 game since Microprose f1 in 1992 (I was very young). That was until last year, f1 2015 was the first I hadn't bought, over the years the game play had got less and less and with the absence of a career mode, I just couldn't see the point.

2016 after viewing and reading a lot I was excited, preorder was placed and I waited. I was so pleased when I first played, the game looks amazing, cars still feel a little like they are floating above the track instead of planted one it, but only a little. 

So so off I went in career mode, started on expert, I have a family full time job etc so don't have time to spend ages doing setups, so thought expert would be about right. I started with Manor and got through to Q3, so far to easy there is clearly no challenge there. So started again and went to legend mode. Suddenly I can't get anywhere close to the times set in the practice sessions and in qualifying I am a second and a half off my team mate. Clearly this isn't right for me either. With no challenge in expert mode I got bored by race 10 and f1 2016 is already consigned back to its box and I am left wondering why I waisted my money.

I play on the pad and only assist is traction control on medium as find it impossible with a pad and no traction (think wife would leave if I got a wheel lol)

Take off tc and try again. You will be the right speed for elite or even have to drop to hard. Tc with a pad makes game easy

Just tried with tc off and I assume that it's because I don't have petals and a wheel but the game is impossible to do without tc on a daulshock, can't even accelerate in a straight line just nothing at all. You shouldn't have to spend £100 odd on a wheel and pedals to be able to play the game and if that is the case I'm even more disappointed with codemasters than I was before

I'm using steering wheel and I'm always 1 secound slower than my team mate in legend mode. Expert way too easy. I'm on ps4

Try setting a deadzone to the accelerator, or you can sell your copy to me for a tenner as you don't seem to like it.

Everyone else seems to be having same problem. Last I've heard is codemasters is looking into it. Hopefully they sort it out on next patch

Maybe turn on some assists so you can go faster and when your a more used to the game and quicker turn them off

If you don't enjoy this game then perhaps the F1 games are not for you. Turn off traction control and your difficulty problem will level out. With it on, how well you do and how fast you are against the field is decided by how the AI is programmed into the game instead of how good your driving the car like it would be if you have it off. Don't know why players using assists don't realize that.

I seem to equal my team mate in expert level only on cockpit view

Guys, I play with a wheel with all assists off. The issue of legend mode being too hard (or expert too east) is real. Expert is too easy, legend far too difficult. I cannot enjoy the game at all this way.

You can't be serious that Legend is too hard? Haha, I won a fucking race with Manor on that difficulty. It's way too easy, they should make it harder. On ultimate all laps needs to be perfect and I cba to be that focused tbh.

I had trouble without assists for a few days but all it took was a week and i rarely spin out of corners now.  It's just a matter of getting used to throttle control.  Don't hammer the throttle until your in middle of 4th and your done turning.  

btw I use ds4 & no assists.

Sounds to me like you have got used to driving with TC on. It's definately fine driving on the Ps4 with no assist on. You can't just floor the throttle like you could with it turned on. Gently apply the throttle until the car feels underneath you. Play on expert with this setting off.

It genuinely baffles me how other people are struggling so much without assists on a pad. If you want a challenge, get Project Cars and try to drive the Lotus 98T without assists on a pad. Now that is hard.
