In the beta once again no assists was faster, but now that this game is released and the leader boards have settled the assists user are spiking at the top.
Even when using the same setup assists are looking about 0.2-0.5 faster depending on the track. The problem is that you are not taking into account how assist users can exploit the setups.
Prime example is how they can use 100% brake pressure and not get a penalty for that. No driver in real life could ever do that, and when I try this with no assists on a wheel it is instant lockup at not even half braking. There is no chance for me being able to do that. They can also run a lower wing setup because the car is more stable.
As for traction, I can make the setup just about as good as medium traction control, but then I am compromising other aspects of the car like turn in and high speed cornering which assist users do not have to worry about.
Why is it that in the beta you always make them slower, but then when the game is released you bump them back up? Are you just satisfying the diehard players because you know for a beta more of them may be no assists than when the general public gets the game?
You guys are going to do E Sports which is exactly what you should be doing as the physics are the best attempt yet and the cars are really fun to drive, but how on earth are you going to incorporate that with assists being imbalanced? Will they be banned from that?
Sorry because I really do HATE writing these columns and the debate for an against will ensue, but seriously there is no incentive to run no assists, and its a shame because if you do that it really dumb downs the best physics yet from Codemasters.
I just hope that someone from Codemasters reads this. I would be really curious to hear what someone like Greco feel about this one.
