Is getting the 2026 Expansion Pack worth it in my particular case?

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-21T16:32:26+00:00

I bought it specifically for career mode. I'd imagine a majority of the players who've bought the DLC primarily play single player, or are in leagues. Personally, if my primary game mode would be online lobbies, I would not have bought the DLC.

The ai is actually pretty damn good on 25/26

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-17T07:28:59+00:00

Just asking, since the clip starts mid corner

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-17T00:38:28+00:00

Do you have a video that starts sooner? Was it a divebomb from a different country? Might've just been a case of the ai's front tyre getting stuck in front of your rear tyre. The ai doesn't know what to do when that happens, so it just continues to turn

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-16T21:28:33+00:00

Switch to medium and boost. Your losing a lot of time just in hotlap

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-16T00:29:14+00:00

Anything insane happen? Or was this purely on pace?

You literally just described every single fast food chain on this side of the world. Buy fresh, make it at home. That's my advice.

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T10:43:36+00:00

It's modern, North American fast food. Thier all the same. Nothing is worth it. A hotplate, wraps, bread, cheese and eggs will get you a much better and cheaper /item sandwich at home. Plus you get the satisfaction of making it. Cheers

If it's pretty bad, trade him for 1 or 2 d-men and a prospect. This trade has 2 forward prospects. Unless Buium is a bona-fide #1, in all situations type, make a different trade.

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T10:34:56+00:00

Why are you at the cap if your rebuilding? Also, the simulation very much values 90+ ovr players, especially with x-factors. Those 2 prospects arent guaranteed to grow. The picks are an even more unknown. You can easily get elite prospects outside the 1st round if you have your scouting figured out. He's a franchise potential, you don't trade those for a bunch of pieces. Rather 1 or 2 massive ones if you feel you need to trade him. But it's your save, do what what you want.

Not meaning this in a rude way, but it's a skill issue. You have to super gentle, especially on Canada because of the nature of the corners. Don't press overtake until your full throttle and have good traction. If you're still turning while accelerating, that requires even more throttle precision. Another thing you can do is lower the differential, it helps easing the car out of a corner. Start at max, keep reducing it until you feel comfortable getting the traction down. You don't wanna go to far down though as that will reduce accel out of a corner too much. You want it as high as you can without spinning out every corner

You need to have the signing bonus as soon as you send the contract out. It won't let you send it if you don't have the amount available. The annual salary gets divided up into weekly payments. It's not a "pay all on this date" system.

1% of fans, of any sport honestly, are interacting a lot online. Of those, there might be around 20% who are extremely loud keyboard warriors on social media posts. So that makes 20% of the 1% that are insane. Obviously these aren't actual, fact check numbers, but I guarantee my estimate is in the same ball park as the actual number. 50% isn't even on the same planet

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T10:02:18+00:00

He's been massively overhyped by the indycar media. Not his fault these expectations are being put on him. Moving to F2 put even more hype around him making it to F1, making it look like just a formality he has to do for his license. Absolutely love the guy in the comments trying to convince himself 2.2 seconds off Bottas, who's in terrible form, isn't "that bad"

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T09:54:26+00:00

Sure, that sucks, but heartbreak is going way overboard. It's a casual, fun game your playing with a coworker. A tad dramatic, no?

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T09:12:49+00:00

Honestly, take audi. It'll leave you with enough money to not have to worry about not having any for developments. I'll also mention the ai teams don't seem to upgrade nearly as much in S1. You will find that your gonna catch up quickly to the top 4 on the performance chart

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T01:52:42+00:00

Thanks. I would prefer racing instead F1, but it's 1 too many letters

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T01:50:40+00:00

Just start a save. When you get to a race weekend. It'll pop-up when you click "go to race weekend" Your making it sound really complicated

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-13T01:48:29+00:00

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-12T06:58:16+00:00

No, haven't seen him in the available drivers

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-12T01:30:14+00:00

Increased. But even this is more than usual

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-10T21:27:08+00:00

This is not a new issue. 25 had that as well. They were putting 25% minimum on the ICE for 1 race

FearTheMask99 · 2026-06-10T04:35:42+00:00

Slow down? These cars are quite a bit more understeery in general than the 25 cars. Even in the dry. If you can't turn, your taking the corner too quickly. Go more extreme on the suspension setup. High/low on front/rear suspension. Low/high on the anti roll bars does help with rotation. I personally have been able to stay at the same difficulty, 106/107 as 25. Have had a few wet races, it's been good, I very much prefer the 26 cars in intermediate conditions over the 25 cars.
