EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[PJTierney]

That Polo will be fun.

That Polo will be fun.

Looking forward to trying all of the new additions, but the Polo is definitely going to be the first!

 

[Tool1312]

Looks like we'll have our hands full with 12 new stages and all the cars. Deffo looking forward to this and it bodes well for the Hard Chargers content ( whenever that maybe )
It will nicely coincide with my new Moza R3 which will be arriving on Monday

I wonder what Hard Chargers will be now! At the moment I think I’m gonna guess it’ll be a Scandinavian theme, with the Sweden stages and a bunch of cars made famous by the likes of Kankkunen, Makinen and Petter Solberg? Would explain the ‘98 Escort. Maybe a Lancer Evo 3 (Makinen), a 2006/7 spec Impreza, 2012 Fiesta WRC to go with the Polo and DS3 (Solberg) and so on?

Chuck in a 307cc for Gronholm and I'm sold.

Is the new content part of the career?
If I will encounter monte, new stages will be part of the rally?

New cars in the career dealer?

Unfortunately not, or not at launch at least. From the bottom of the blog post:

Le Maestros* cars and stages will only be available in Time Trial, Moments, Quick Play and Clubs at launch.

Thanks for taking time to answer.
A pity.

 

[PJTierney]

Career is very complicated when it comes to additional content (mainly due to how things like entitlements and DLC uninstalls/refunds could break saves), but hopefully in the future it’ll be easier to integrate DLC content somehow.

Expected that to be honest with how complicated it sounds to add stuff in career mode.

At least it hasn't been ruled out for the future

If it's complicated I wonder if they'll just wait and do it at the same time as the second DLC pack.

Very happy with the additional content for this, pretty much everything from my wishlist for this French themed pack! The Polo & DS3 were both from the era that I covered WRC so that's a huge win for me (although wouldn't mind if they added the dark blue livery for Polo).

Really looking forward to getting stuck into these additional stages also.

A great looking pack with way more content that I'd anticipated, and something that'll definitely draw me back in as I'd found myself being less interested to jump on this in recent times. Really keen to see what's in the second DLC pack later this year.

I am hoping this might come. I liked all the Polo liveries, so it would be nice to have the choice of a later one as well.

Well we know we are definitely getting two new stages:

Red Barn Arena (Rally Sweden)
Harvati (Rally Greece)

And, based on the chat in the Discord, there seems to confidence that there will be another six cards in Hard Chargers... I am always doubtful about additional car numbers though, as we know how many additions in previous games have been torpedoed at the last minute by licensing issues!

"Hard Chargers" also gives pretty good scope for some varied additions.

Brilliant. Just built my Fanatec podium WRC Monte Carlo wheel. Ready for action.

This is a bit sudden, but does anyone know if it's still not possible to wash your car in service, if you have no damage? If it still is this way, is it a design choice?

 

[Adam Barber]

I am very much looking forward to this next DLC as aside from the Polo the cars and liveries seem to be laser targeted at me

 

[MagpieRacer]

Brianconnet is looking fantastic.

 

[m355y]

It does. Whole update looks fantastic. Makes me even more excited that there's still Hard Chargers coming too.

I hope they ad Telemetry for BT Display ore SIM Dashboard for PS5
