Have we settled on a verdict re: EA WRC 1.4, chaps? I got a £50 gift card for Christmas which was meant as a means of buying F1 23 and WRC, but some of the initial feedback on the latest WRC patch has me wondering whether to hold off. I'm all out of free trial so can't check it out for myself. I re...

Sweet!

Ordered one and waiting patiently for it to get here so I can start fumbling my way through setting it up.

Wilk - this dude covers just about every system out there...complete walk throughs on setting up each device with emulators and whatnot. The only thing the doesn't cover is Switch...since Nintendo is so "sue happy"...so that's kind of hit or miss when you get to the more powerful devices like the O...

I haven’t played a season or franchise in Madden or NBA in years. I do play a shit-ton of online H2H in Madden though. It may sound odd, but I think EA’s PGA Tour may scratch the itch you’re describing. I think it’s a very underrated game and it’s the single player experience that really shines IMO.

I think 1.4.0 did more harm than good. A lot of people can’t play their career anymore and, on PS5 anyway, the choppiness, screen tearing, and frame rate issue is a disaster.

I would just to own a device that has all the PS2 games. If that exists let me know where I can buy it. It now exists and mine just arrived. AYN Odin 2…absolutely fantastic device. Does most Switch games too. More power than the emulators can even use right now. Base model is $300, the same price a...

Looks like they will have the stuttering issues taken care of.

Not really seeing a lot of improvement with the framerate and screen tearing, unfortunately.

EA Sports WRC v1.40 patch notes

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/ea-sport ... /patch-1-4

Ran Rally Mediterraneo in WRC last night on the PS5 and what a f'ing disaster that is from a performance perspective. Framerate all over the place, screen tearing, and stuttering. I don't think I've run it on Series X to compare, but man there's a lot of work that needs to be done to optimize the ga...

I don't typically don't do this, but I decided to double-dip and pick up EA Sports WRC for the PS5 as well as I know I'll get my money's worth. Saying that, I don't know if I'll go back to the Series X version now, just for the haptic feedback the PS5 controller provides. It really does add that muc...

I think the game is great and applaud EA for this as it's one of my favorite sports games of the year for sure. I do agree, however, PK that the bunkers are like magnets sometimes. If you're ball is even in the facility of one, it's going in lol. Saying that, this game really is great and there's be...

A second patch came out for WRC and the framerate and stuttering issues continue to improve.

For the games I play online (mostly), cross-platform online gaming becoming a thing is huge. Madden, CoD, and others I'm forgetting allow me to play friends on PS5/XBX without having to be on the same system. I do think Sony gets a bad wrap for lacking in the online gaming department. They've come a...

I’d like to get my hands on the Digital Slim console, but I can’t even find it listed anywhere. I’d take it in the shorts on a trade-in of my current launch disk version, but I really want a smaller form factor. The thing is just way too big.

4 games currently heavy in rotation and loving all of them:
- EA Sports WRC
- EA Sports PGA Tour
- Madden 24 Online H2H vs Randoms
- Modern Warfare 3. Pains me to have paid full price for this glorified add-on/expansion, but loving the original MW2 maps.

Your times are still quite impressive. I don’t know what I hit, but something jumped out at me early on in the long stage (can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head) and it smashed the front of the car in, causing the hood to completely obscure my visibility. After that stage and trying m...

Yep yep! Got in, chose my car, ran a shakedown.

Will come back to it later today and run the rally. How awesome would this have been 20 years ago when we were doing this all manually???

The patch definitely helps with the stuttering, but I still wouldn't call this a looker by any stretch. The handling and sheer amount of content make up for it, so it's not a gripe that I have. Just pointing out that this isn't a game you'd fire up to show off the graphics. What's everyone using for...

In the first season of my career I just ran a couple of the stages in Portugal. Man-oh-man what a design... so fun.

Yes, I have the full version.

Well said! On my Series X at home I am still seeing a lot of screen tearing and stuttering. I am going to play the s*** out of it because there is a lot here to like, but if you want the spit and polish of a true next gen experience I don’t think this is it. At its core, however, it’s a great rally ...
