EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[RYAN]

I really enjoyed the Focus '99 Moment at Monte. People were right about it, Sounds amazing and somehow handles better than the '01 Evolution.

I definitely feels better and sounds better

I watched the replay of that run and it sounds incredible externally.

My thoughts on the DLC

 

[paulpg87]

Do we any info on the new game?
I mean there will be a new game by year end or an additional dlc with canaria, Paraguay and saudi Arabia?

If they are not able to fit new rallies and stages within the career mode that could be a driver for the decision.

In case we stay with the same game I also hope they’ll release new psn trophies as they add a lot of replay value.

Anyway to close my experience with the actual game i’m doing a full custom championship with all the rallies and all the stages. Every country a different car class, especially focusing on new cars and new liveries.

Without doubt it is the best rally game ever released. I put it on top of dirtrally 2 which was missing career mode and had a lot less stages and cars even if graphics were far superior.

They just need to fit a more engaging career mode and spectators along the stages…. Plus wales. I mean i do not get how is it possible that we don’t have a GB rally.

In my opinion stage quality increase is also required for new Zealand and Mexico which look subpar. Scandia i do not even consider.

Have a nice we all

is this a new bug?
The liveries from Les Maestros are no longer available in Career Mode. Just gone to do an event in the 2017-2021 Fiesta and Ogier’s livery is not pickable. I then tried a few other cars that had Les Maestros liveries those liveries are no longer available either : (

Why the hell have they been removed?

I was hoping to use the Pilot and Gronhholm liveries in Career, and now not only are they unavailable, but the Les Maestros have been removed.
That’s really disappointed me as the liveries were the only dlc items we were able to use in Career.

I tried restarting the game and xbox but no luck.

I don't remember seeing the Les Maestros liveries in career mode at all.

Yes they definitely were mate (on xbox anyway), I really enjoyed it and had only been using cars with Les Maestros liveries (i only play Career Mode).

I hope PJTierney sees this and confirm whether it was consciously removed, or a glitch.

 

[PJTierney]

Please report it on the EA Forums so that it can be investigated.

I would like to apologize for my initial indifference to the Focus '99. Quickly becoming one of my favourite cars. I didn't like the 01' when I tried it for a Modern Classics Clubs series.

This is the external replay from my Focus moments run the other day. I don't normally sit through external replays but I enjoyed this one especially the four wheel scrambling through the icy hairpins 😄

Listen closely and you can hear the Exhaust note echoing off the rock faces or the cliffs. Great sound design and detail from codies.

Anyone else noticed that the rear lights don’t work at night on the 2008 Focus anymore?

Great video. How do you get to see the start before the car moves. When I watch a replay in VR it starts as the car crosses the line.
Cheers.

Thanks so much 👍

This is how the replays have always shown for me in non VR. They have always included the countdown time from the holding of the handbrake to the setting off. I've never used VR myself so I don't know I'm sorry.

Thanks. I will try with out VR and see if it’s the same as you.

I cheat and don't do the countdown so it's good to know they include it for normal starts.

What do you mean you cheat? 😄

You take a penalty right from the off on every stage?

No, I exercise the option for automatic starts at the beginning of every stage. That way I can rev the throttle and it puts the handbrake on for me until go time when it automatically releases it.

Manual handbrake control would give me an infinitesimally faster start... if I knew what I were doing. Just like manual gears would let me take corners quicker... if I knew what I were doing. That's how EA Sports WRC gives you the option to increase risk for potentially greater rewards.
