The Upcoming Handling Patch Is Game Changing 

How to make people feel better 101: 1) Make them feel much worse 2) Return to the way it was before that.

Main thing of this patch will be that it will be a bit more bearable but there will still be major issues with handling post patch

F1 23 handling was so good man they didn’t have to completely change it

Those who complained about the luanch handling never had a chance to try the beta that was avaliable mid-May. I'm not saying the launch handling is great but it was miles better than what beta players were driving.

Does this mean you can run 360 steering angle again?

So why does evryone else disagree with you then?

David Grecko, the guy who created the 23 game handling fixed this games handling and send it to Dani Bereznay, Mercedes F1 esports driver. Watch his video, it's a way better handling than this "fixed" handling

So what I got from this entire video is that,, It's still sharp but it doesn't feel as sharp. That's good enough for me I'll take it But I really hope they didn't change controller because controller was a lot more better than the wheel on the old patch And a lot of casual players enjoyed it, I’ve been playing every F1 game since F1 2009 and F1 23 felt horrible on a controller. I really hope it’s still better regardless of the patch.

they are hearing the community and players, tweating the handling is the better way than dropping everything. When they get the ERS trains and curbs problem fixed, then I'm gonna get the game.

Love the videos as of recently! Have you ever thought about using an eye tracker with overlay or maybe just talking about how far ahead you're looking during and throughout the corners. Working on improving my times and watching your videos has really helped! Thanks for the useful insight and telemetry display to help get my mind into trail braking and throttle management!

Hi Alex, just wondering if you send your feedback to the developers? Do they reach out and ask you? Also don't you think it's odd a company releasing a product doesn't have testers doing this work for them pre-release?

Does Dirty Air have an bigger effect in F1 24 on the handling, when you try to follow an other car? And does it influence the tyre wear more? Because in the old games i did not really feel the torbulent air. It would be better to be more realistic or at least to have the option to adjust between realism oder more arcade in the menu settings. In Reality the drivers loose more downforce, even its getting worse since last year because the cars habe generally more downforce, so it's worse than in 2022, when they introduced the ground effect cars.

Do we know when this patch might arrive for everyone to have access to it? Looks much better here and very happy to hear that they've worked on many of the key bugs as well.

I haven’t updated f1 24 yet so I can analyze the handling… For the most part I like it, even tho it felt wierd at the start. High speed tracks like Silverstone feel nice but Monaco is a nightmare. Haven’t tried Baku yet but I remember it being wayy to slidy in f1 23, and the tire wear feels better too because last year I would go from the fastest car on track to the slowest within a few laps on 100% races. I play on controller tho, and I’m gonna have to update it sooner or later so im starting to get worried.

4:53 bruh... lol

Is the Patch fixing the AI and no DNFs? Tests the biggest issue for casual career Mode Players

At this point I believe Codies has the handling dialed in with Pro and Esports drivers cause it sounds nice in advertisement. Players then notice that's not a fun way to drive so it's changed again.

How can I have that telemetry up the HUD

This is great news. What overlay are you using?

for me they need to make small amendments to the battery the ai use in things like career modes. this is because i can litterally be on near enough monza level wings with some rake on the rife height and the ai will be like 20 kph faster than me without drs and while im in their slipstream. so a few other small amendments to be made but all in all i dont think theres anything else that needs major changes

Alex Please be honest- do you prefer handling in 23 or 24?

Anyone got a review of how this patch affects pad?

They HAD to change the handling as a "reason" to charge people FULL PRICE for a game that we already had 98% of! Tell me what "major" update over F1 23 is F1 24 offering that warrants paying for a "FULL PRICED" game... when it literally could have been a "patch"...

I dont have the game but the suspension is sus. It's too bouncy. Not stiff enough. But changing that too much might create more issues

Thumb nail says game changer your report says not perfect which ones is it Alex ???

So now after this you can say the game is headed to the right direction

I play on a pad but I find the handling horrendous on the new game. Hopefully when this update comes it'll improve. And hopefully they sort the ERS bug and increase laps on ranked

Honestly.. i expected more.. it is more like they tweeked it.. it's probaply better yes but.. is it as huge as people say? Because if i look at the steering rates it is still a bit unrealistic.. bus stop chicane should nearly be full lock

Do you think it will be good to drive on a pad?

should just revert to f1 23 handling now

Problem now is to fix the HUGE AI problem (that screw up career mode as much (if not more) than handling…

Controller feels like f1 2019 this year so shit. f1 23 was so perfect on controller

Sounds like the patch is fixing most big issues, I’ll try the game once it’s out. And about what E-Sports drivers say, they might want to lobby in their own interests. I‘m far from esports but on F1 2021 I was fastest, so if I were an esports driver, of course I’d want that handling back.

The handling is the LEAST of the issues with this game. Sure, the handling isn’t perfect but for a “casual” player I don’t find it as horrendous as people are saying. My biggest concern in the game is the inexcusable issues that would have easily been found and solved with proper play testing. The fact that a wet race forces you to start on dry tires, the AI then runs as if the track is dry while you burn out the inter/wets you put on at the end of lap one to only gain a couple of seconds a lap on the AI, is disgraceful and should be the absolute first priority for the devs to fix. The current handling won’t get me to stop playing, the first wet race I get in my F1 career will in the current state of the game. The AI runs soft tires in sprint quali when the rules state mediums. Running an entire F2 season without a single VSC, safety car, red flag or retirement is a joke.

Why couldn't they just make minor improvements on the handling model of F1 23 for the new game? F1 23 was enjoyable to drive

thats great but a more important thing they should be looking into is the bugs. The handling wasn't game breaking, the bugs are and can be.

So you’re saying the car is back to that horrible 2023 under steering. No more Verstappen pointy front end ! 👎🤮 I want my money back. All these nerds complained enough it seems. On time trial I saw plenty of people 5 seconds on average faster than the real cars. Handling could not have been that bad.

Optimus Prime is first in spa time trial

Do you think controller players can be competitive now?

F1 23 was the best handling system that F1 games ever had. With the current model in F1 24 (the one everyone has access to) that F1 22 had better handling, and i stopped playing F1 22 halfway through the year to go back to F1 2021. If F1 24 even gets close to F1 23 then I'll be happy but I highly doubt F1 24 will be better than F1 23

If you dont like it go back to f1 23 i love f1 24 as it is leave it alone

Then ask ea why can't I use the no.1 when I win the championship

lost all respect for you, thankyou for proving youre on the EA payroll

It seems like they do this every year where the game releases with terrible handling and then they change it.

Honestly, E sports drivers are the last people I’m listening too. Nothing about what they do is close to realistic

why they give youtubers acces to test ? if they have nothing in common with how real f1 fell and drive ??? why they care about players how a game should be and not real f1 driver . They just could pay few f1 driver and put them to play it and will be the end

The New patch is Worst! They ruin now all the game!!

It’s funny how everyone know what an F1 car feels like, I think it is what it is, esports or no esports, we hear the real F1 drivers saying the cars are too big and clunky, they can’t change that they have to work around it, I just want the closest experience to F1 I could careless how it’s feels because that’s f1. As for the kerbs listen I seen Charles Leclerc attacking the kerbs in Imola like they stole his pasta, I couldn’t do that in 23 without bottoming out and going wide, yes maybe a lack of talent but I felt it was over the top in 23.

Why are you so against an f1 car having grip?

So its still shit they won't fix the wet

2:35 so they still didn't fix the tyre pressure... 💀 "Lower tire pressure also contributes to higher tyre temperatures" Should be opposite and before someone say it's not true because games like AC and F1 are like that, then ask real racing engineers and see what they say.

skibidi ohio ahhh physics

23 model by far better. 22 is even better than this year's model

The Game sucks now

Ahah what a joke. As usual content creators crying and destroying the game even more

You and your creator friends ruined F1. Thank you that honestly. Utter joke. I'd like my money back.

Glad they are fixing it. But it’s funny how a bunch of NON f1 drivers are telling codemasters how a f1 car should feel. Lmao!! That’s some funny stuff to me 😂😂

How much is he getting paid for saying that

There is nothing wrong with the handling, i had no problems. Im a smooth driver on the game, and i feel it made it better for me.

I am unsubscribing from all the moaners

why does this announcement feels...artificial? especially since Alex hasnt been employed by "Ego Arts" to fix the Ego Engine.

Still looks terrible

I'm surprised by people who spend hundreds of dollars on steering wheels and pedals, but at the same time drive in this game from a third person as if it were a primitive arcade game. It's the same as buying a Ferrari and hauling potatoes on it.

I think EA payed Alex off to walk back his opinion

I’m honestly not sure who to believe, whilst the E sports drivers are saying this isn’t a monumental improvement, they also don’t drive the game realistically in the slightest and it’s literally their job to exploit the game, be efficient as possible and expect the car to do things an F1 car just shouldn’t be able to do because… lap time, but on the other hand you can never tell with individual content creators on where the handling actually stands because they each prefer individual things, some come from Iracing or ACC, whilst some strictly play F1, so there’s varying levels of what to expect from each creator, but from what I’m visually seeing, the car looks a lot more tracked, and can now actually be pushed, the front end looks to grip up a lot better and it now seems the car is driven on the rear instead of being driven 100% on the nose like before, but push it too far in one direction and it will start to massively understeer

Why is it so hard to make as realistic as possible? This is the only licensed F1 game! Give us modes to choose from: arcade and realism. Jeez

I hope it's still quite pointy. F1 cars are supposed to be pretty compliant with tons of grip when doing mid to high speed corners. More tricky at low speed corners where the downforce is no longer 800+ kg (1700lbs) pushing down on the tires at 100mph.

Seems like that the car engine sound has also been changed

the patch has made the game worse especially for controller users just dumb so i guess the streamers get what they want and everyone else can go to hell

Shouldn't the be more focused on realistic driving simulation i think the Shouldn't listen to feedback from esport racing 😂 The should listen to feedback from real f1 drivers and mechanics

Lol... EA messed up big time and now they are the heroes for improving the game a bit 🤦🤦🤦

All the non sweats liked the handling. The only people that cried are sweat content creators.

Even if the new handling is better i think the damage has been done they bring out the Game in a Beta or Alpha Phase thats simply shocking Beta testers Said the handling needs a Patch since the very 1st Beta week that was in April i believe and they waited Till creators and esport driver Test the Game 1 week before Launch and what Happens everyone says its unrealistic and they started then to Patch the handling if they listen to the Beta Testers we wouldnt Even have to Talk about the handling and wait for a update imo unacceptable bring the Game out 2 weeks later with the new handling and everyone is happy so its just a rip off if they start working if the Money is there thats how it Looks Like … i Hope that Game Reviews actually say when they tested the Game because ea and Codies shouldnt get good Reviews for a unfinished to early Release Game that for years now changes the handling in the 1st Month because they Push the Release everytime to early

This sounds forced

I returned f1 24 on steam after 2 hours. When more people make videos on the handling, ill consider getting it again when its on sale

idk im still waiting for a discount on this game,not getting it full price im still having fun with 23

The MX5 in iracing has more grip than the f1 cars in f1 24. Gt3 cars in ACC, an actual sim, have more grip than the f1 cars in f1 24. My fuckin shoes have more grip than the f1 cars in this not a sim called f1 24. This update ruined the game. They should undo it, and never listen to any influencers ever again

I want to be positive and see this as a step forward to a better and realistic handling. After all they responded to all our critiques pretty fast and, even tho it still looks unrealistic af, it's at least better than before. They also said they'll keep working on it during the next months so I'm really hopeful that they can fix this mess, but definitely not sure they will. I've seen lots of videos but didn't buy the game this year, I think F1 24 is just a test ground for the new handling engine and that F1 25 will be the first decent game eith actual realistic handling.

If the mass majority of players preferred f1 23 handling whyd the change it? They should have just tweaked it to add the suspension stuff in and improve on that. There is no need to constantly change things completely when it is already working

Guys really how to like a game when you are 4 second faster than real f1? Or you send it in a corner and the camera turns like kicked in the ass? Really the game took wrong path not an evolution from 23 for the better.

Not changed it night and day? I'M 3 SECONDS A LAP SLOWER MAN. Fucking utter joke. Why did they and you creators have to ruin the game.

So basically because people that use a wheel to play which as much as they dont like it they are the minority here they go do an update which will 100% completely wreck how the game plays with a gamepad.

This isn't the real patch though...your just testing and sending feedback to ea. It may get released like f1 22 did and nothing like this 🙄😂

You spelled game breaking wrong. Because this patch broke the game.

yep, still not buying it. F22, last one I bought, stll stings.......

It looks pretty bad still tbh

Who cares stick with 2023 save your money

They should make a patch to readjust the HUD. Man, this HUD is awful

Early access on a patch? What in the f

Madonna come parli veloce!

The main problem for me on controller is that with current handling when trying to take a corner at the right speed such as sector 2 brazil turn 1-3 brazil sector 3 abu Dhabi it won't turn properly unless you got a lot slower than you should be able to. Is the potential for that issue to be fixed. I have tried multiple set ups and settings nothing works normally

From the way it’s being described it seems they have fixed it exactly how I wanted them to. It just needed fixes in the slow speed and a slight tone down on the initial sharp turn in. This sounds like it’s a lot closer to what you get in sims like AC and iRacing.

Good stuff. Gives me hope. If they can make the front end less arcade and lower overall grip/downforce levels it will be much better.

I dont care about the handling . I want them to fix the AI and the the bugs . Also i want them to add engine failures for the AI and make the AI make mistakes

idk why they changed the steering, the steering was perfect. No need to have changed it, lets hope it barley changed

Limitless said that they changed the gear ratios in the patch, so that may be why it feels like you have more top-end speed

EA did you wrong, did the community wrong and all will be forgotten in a few days. Community never learns

Lando norris did say that driving a real f1 car in the wet is drift mode so for him its more realistic

I hope they sort the driver career soon

Thats Ferrari sounds atrocious what on earth is that noise
