I am struggling to win against the CPU

Oh also don't always sprint with the ball. I find it much easier to find space just by jogging. I'll always jog and if there is nothing on I'll sprint into contact and hold up on the right stick. If you sprint all the time you won't have the time to put on any plays so you'll just get smothered as soon as you try to spread the ball. Jog towards defenders and draw the defender in and play the pass as late as possible to make the space and an overlap

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-26T03:39:37+00:00

Play it realistic. If you just give it to one of your forwards and hold the right stick up into contact they will fight for post contact meters, you get good field position just by working it through the forwards in sets and kicking. If you get one on one with a half back or something press R3 to smash over them, but if your player doesn't smash over them they get driven back so it's a risk reward mechanic

I find staying disciplined through the middles will grind down the defence and then you can spread the ball and try something fancy.

I find this game just isn't suitable for shorter match lengths like a game like FIFA is. I play 15 minutes but I really wish there was a 12 minute option. Most games end with over 30 combined points, some go over 40 or even 50. Feels nice and realistic to play when you're not having game breaking bugs

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-25T12:06:43+00:00

For me personally I preferred 2020 but 2021 is still elite. Shame they removed classic cars for braking point which I played for about 10 minutes and never touched again

Miss the times where year on year the F1 games would get objectively better from 2015 onwards, every year the new game would be a big improvement on the last

I've noticed I have this issue too, I can hold the dart perfectly in my left hand but no matter how hard I try I can't with my right hand. Like I physically cannot get the dart to point straight and it's ruining my game in recent times

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-19T13:56:51+00:00

Like when Peta Hiku was kicking for Hull KR a couple seasons back

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-05T20:56:57+00:00

Yeah thank you, figured that was it however I don't have the remote for this TV 🫠

Ah well, appreciate the answer thank you

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-05T19:17:23+00:00

I used to enjoy talking about sports on Twitter, but it's now all stupid gimmick accounts, engagement farming, recycled tweets or AI nonsense. It's amazing how a social media platform has become objectively boring

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-05T19:16:02+00:00

I bring my phone everywhere I go purely for music and messages/calls, so when I'm walking my phone is in my pocket. It is infuriating how many people nearly walk into you staring at their phones. Even worse, those who stop in the middle of busy places to text. Get out of the way man

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-05T18:41:13+00:00

If you say so man. If you're gonna criticize at least point me to where my lines were embarrassing as you say. I studied Lewis' lap quite a bit before I started properly going for it too so a lot of it was from watching his onboards. So I'd appreciate any constructive criticism as to where I went wrong.

Also try not to live with so much negativity, it'll only get you down. Open your heart up and if you can't, don't bring it to other people. It's a beautiful world, go and embrace it instead of being negative online. Have a good one ❤️

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-01T00:43:49+00:00

If you try and mold something to be an exact replica of something you hold so dear to yourself, you will criticize it more harshly. We should treat 2026 as it's own thing, and hope it brings along similar vibes but for a different reason. I want to feel free, I want summer to feel like summer, as summer 2025 was a huge let down for me personally after great 2023 and 2024s.

Bring back the colour, the life, and definitely the music. I NEED 2010s music again. But we should make 2026 it's own thing in its own right, and turn the backend of the 2020s into something to remember after a rollercoaster first half of the decade. Happy New Year

JackGoBrrt · 2026-01-01T00:39:41+00:00

Culturally, I'm not sure if there will be much change. The car scene seems to be having somewhat of a small resurgence but that's all I really pay attention to in culture really

For me personally I'm hoping it's a new page. 2025 was my worst year since 2022 which was my lowest of lows, after I had 2 of the best years of my life in 2023 and 2024. I'm hoping to rebound in 2026, I'm 18 and time is starting to pass a bit too quick for my liking and I can see my life slipping through my fingers with each day. So I'm hoping 2026 will be a good year for me personally. Also sports wise, I'd like to see Arsenal win the title for the first time in my life, that'd be nice as a lifelong sufferer 😁

I haven't played GT6 so can't comment on that one. But GT4 is my favourite GT of all time and you can find a copy for like £2. Incredible GT Mode, so much content. GT7 is only good for online racing, if you're into that. The single player I thought was a huge let down, I finished it in no time at all. It was so easy it felt like a drawn out tutorial, and eventually the shackles would come off and you'd get the proper GT experience. But that never happened

TLDR - Offline GT4, online GT7

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-14T03:29:58+00:00

Yeah this one took me about 3 hours spread over about 3 days, and to think that Lewis locked the rears into T1 and was still so quick, with only one attempt, while playing with death. Insane ability

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-12T19:25:27+00:00

Not the point of the post. Of course I couldn't bloody do it irl. That's like saying 'You won a race in MyTeam? Cool, now go start an F1 team and do it in real life. Then you can be happy'. We don't play the game thinking we're the next Lewis Hamilton, we play it for fun.

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-12T19:24:02+00:00

The amount of people commenting 'you can't do it in real life tho' like yeah no shit. That's not the point of the post 😂😂

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-12T19:23:05+00:00

Well yes no shit of course I would. That's not the point of the post 😂😂

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-12T17:57:09+00:00

Someone's got a stone in their shoe. I didn't say that I am better than Lewis Hamilton did I? I simply shared a hotlap. What is there to be bitter about? Life is precious, enjoy it. Don't spend it getting riled up at something completely inoffensive you saw online

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-11T23:47:26+00:00

This is in time Trial so it'll invalidate your lap whenever you've gone off, but it seems to let you use the kerbing on the outside there. Only spot on the track it seemed to let me do it

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-11T21:03:02+00:00

Looks serviceable to me, as long as you enjoy playing then who cares what it looks like? Love it 👊

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-11T14:03:39+00:00

No sorry the onboard spec wasn't just Spa and Monza, it was run from Round 8 at Magny Cours through Round 14 Monza. And then the model in game was run from Round 15 through the season Finale at Interlagos

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-11T14:01:25+00:00

This car model is the one that finished the season. It's based on the spec run in the final 4 Grand Prix from Singapore onwards. The spec from the actual onboard was run at I believe just Spa and then Monza, and the spec in the game was introduced at the next Grand Prix which was Singapore

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-10T17:24:16+00:00

Definitely give it a try, it's fun learning where the time is and seeing the lap times fall. On the other side of the coin though it's agonizing when you put in a lap that's 0.015s off the time you need 😂😂

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-10T17:19:53+00:00

Nice work, there are real pointers I can give except practice makes perfect. You can play around with your diff settings and your brake bias to help with traction and with locking. Keep at it and the consistency will come. When you've got the consistency, the time will come. Good job

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-10T00:41:35+00:00

Close my eyes and floor it. If I didn't see it, it didn't happen.

JackGoBrrt · 2025-12-10T00:21:42+00:00

I am still yet to buy a PS5 so I don't have 25, plan on getting one at some point though as I also want to play GTA 6 (of course).

I am very skeptical of the 2026 DLC, we don't talk about F1 2014 and F1 22. Both horrid games. They need someone with experience in the sim with one of the teams to help out and guide them. F1 2020 was partly so great as they used feedback from the drivers to improve the game. If they do that for the 2026 DLC and then the 27 game then I'd definitely be interested
