EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[m355y]

The Hyundai i20 Coupe is a fantastic addition. I love that car, always have. It looks totally different to the current i20, adding it in to the Fiesta and C3 almost completes that class but obviously there's still one missing. One day....

Looking at the liveries, factory Focus livery is a massive one and I love the Stobart one too. Big surprise one is the 2001 SEAT livery, I loved that one back in the day and its great to see it included. The '93 Pilot livery for the Escort Cosworth is a classic and I love the Craig Breen livery for the 208.

So even though this one's not quite as much to my taste in that I could have lived without the Rally 3/4 cars, there's still some good stuff here. I'm looking forward to the Hyundai especially and using the new Focus liveries.

Main disappointments are the lack of the Escort WRC (was dreaming of that in Repsol colours and kinda expecting it based on all the predictions) and the inclusion of the '99 Focus which I just don't see the point of. Far rather the '03 version with the big aggressive aero. This one's so similar to the '01 version.

Random prediction: The final round will probably end up being Rally Saudi Arabia Aramco

Random question that propably has been answered somewhere/a plenty.

In the hybrid cars, does the hybrid battery always exhaust all of its charge once you hit the accelator threshhold?
As a not very sensitive controller player I am having a hard time seeing the benefits of this system.
E.g. I am running up any sharp turn and the braking will charge up enough of the battery to allow for the hybrid power to kick up, but just the slightest touch of R2 (with the most cautious sensitivity the game offers of 70%) almost already activates hybrid and I end up coasting through the whole of the turn instead of dashing away on the "short" straight with the power it ought to deliver.

I can accept lacking the skills to have my fingers press less than 70% on the button, but it kills a bit of the thrill that should come with these class of cars, and propably an option to adjust the sensitivity of the accelarator input in the game could help?
