How Good Is The Controller On F1 23?

Improved gamepad support is a huge talking point in F1 23 - is it good enough for a regular wheel user to be able to keep up on the highest difficulty?

Seeing him turn his head towards the corner without turning the wheel looks so funny 😂

Not as bad as moving the controller towards the corner whilst shouting… Turn! Turn! Turn!…. Not that I do that 🙄☺️

[@kxngmuzikig2417]

I always played on controller. I feel slower when I use a wheel. also, adjusting the controller settings to your preference is a huge boost

[@jarnoopmeer]

Funfact: i used to play on controller and even though i was racing in real life when i first switched i was slower.

[@tinotendamapfumo8140]

Me too. When I bought my wheel I briefly returned to playing to controller because it was very hard on the wheel. After many hours the benefits then come to you. I was racing on 100 AI on the controller now I'm on 107 with the wheel😊

[@ApsyrysClips]

It's normal that you feel slower, you need to get used to it

[@Communistthurso]

@@jarnoopmeerSeriously?! Do you have some tips for driving faster on wheel? I have been racing a few years but feel i cant improve. Also, any good places to get cheap DD? Mine broke a few weeks ago and need to find a place to buy.

[@GipfelKreis]

I had the same feeling when i switched to a Wheel. After some time i feel more confident and quicker than with the controller. And to be honest: It makes twice the fun.

Fun fact, joke in 3:40 about spinning in t2 and pointing towards jeddah is actually geographically accurate

Sorry to tell you, its sadly not geographically accurate.

[@jgreb]

@@kyanvanleerdam not perfectly, more or less it is

[@kyanvanleerdam]

@waz0wzki The track in Jeddah is to the west of turn 2, if Jarno did indeed spin he would've been facing Iran. Would have been fun if he was facing Jeddah lmao

[@jgreb]

@@kyanvanleerdam if he span he would've been "facing" iran backwards and more or less jeddah forwards, iran is north east, same as racing direction in this corner, if he spins he's not facing racing direction and he's facing south west - jeddah

[@kyanvanleerdam]

@@jgreb your assuming that Jarno does a full 180 when spinning, and the chance of that happening is really small. It is way more likely to just spin and slide through the grass, and in this way face north, towards Iran.

[@dacki3719]

I am so hyped for this game just because of this feature, on 22 pad players had such a disadvantage in the esses, because the wheel would stop in the middle if you tried to flick your car but now its gone completly.

[@DavidHunter]

Yes glad to see someone else notice. The F1 games that I’ve played always did this. Makes quick direction changes impossible. I’ve complained for years and they’ve finally removed that weird behaviour. I can only imagine it was like that to help complete novices or something but took away control from pad players who are actually decent.

Kids: Marvel has the best transitions Jarno at 4:08: are you sure about that

[@Cesar_Soria]

I sometimes play with control and play very comfortably. My advice is to keep the left joystick practically all the time facing forward (as if in GTA V or Call Of Duty you were moving forward) and at the moment when you are going to enter a curve, slide (while pointing up/front) little by little to one side or the other. When you simply make the joystick to the left or right (from the center) the movement is very abrupt, and in that other way the movement can be smooth if you need it or fast and direct if you want it too.

[@leoG017]

Yeah it is really abrupt because of the controller stick re-centering. I think thats what they fixed with the precision driving feature in f1 23. The solution u suggested (keeping the stick up) would be a good solution for f1 22 and older games but it gets too much time getting used to, and everyone is gonna switch to f1 23 cuz we all fed up with f1 22 for realll.

[@marekshole2945]

[@scoofedaraara819]

the steering rate addition should help with monaco on controller, cos thats the biggest issue ive had in the last couple of F1 games on controller is you cant quite get enough turning for the hairpin most of the time.

[@ItsBlester]

What makes pad players slow is moving the stick left to right instead of aiming the stick up and then steering from left to right. That makes you a lot quicker and smoother.

[@Cesar_Soria]

Exactly, that’s the way I feel comfortable to play with

[@maynardhatamosa761]

exactly bro without holding the stick up it feels weird when steering haha

[@leoG017]

How do you have the grip to keep the stick up constantly

[@Manoliskon917]

​@@leoG017you'll get used to it, it's nothing special

[@kbk239]

Yes but still there is a delay when you turn from left to right, you need to anticipate the delay...

[@vwoop]

Steering rate is going to be a huge game changer for us controller players imo. Hopefully I can finally fine tune F1 23 to feel like my Assetto Corsa setup

[@GermanVenom1988]

This. Especially because AC never had really full Controller support so this could get casuals with 20-30 hours playtime - till next game`s Release date to go nuts and end up with 100-200 hours this time.

[@Macattack1338]

Coming back to this vid just to say that I changed my steering rate to 130% and cut my laptime by 1 second on the open tracks and 2-3 seconds on the street-circuits. The agressive turn makes it easier to navigate in those tight areas. Monaco is still almost impossible to do a great lap on with controller but still working on it. Great advice! (Works just as great on F124)

[@enesselek03]

I’m so happy with the new features but im almost gonna feel like they actually made the game so easy like even on no assissts everyone can drive without making a mistake. Of course what makes some faster is the lines they take and the speed they carry to the corners but yeah. Looking forward to it!!

[@revirdkcalb]

I'm also a bit worried... Hopefully there's still some skills gap. I don't want to be just a couple if tenths slower than the eSports guys. I like it when I'm surprised by how much quicker they are compared to me after nailing a lap lol

@@mattijsvandenbosch7960 maybe it's a cold surface problem, I was trying to know about the tyres pressure on this game and all the time my tyre's surface was cold, I have understeer or oversteer, depending on which tyre I had cold the surface.

[@ChrisEdgar-w4f]

Could you do a "learning to drive" video when it's fully released? I've used a controller for the past three years, with automatic gears, ERS assist, full TC, and ABS but finally got a Logitech G29 for the new game. What's the best order to turn them off in to learn how to actually drive properly?

[@jarnoopmeer]

Yessir🫡

[@letartarugheninja8581]

First turn off ers and gearbox that are very easy, then traction control and last ABS

[@TheGympert]

Austria is a great track how to learn to play without assists. Its a short track, good braking zones, fast cornering and just do 100 laps and slowly turn off assists 1 by 1. Good luck!

[@danielalmond3272]

Personally I'd start off with manual gears. It'll soon become second nature and then you can figure out the others. ERS isn't too difficult. Dropping to medium traction can be tricky at first, you can no longer just flatten the accelerator, but I wouldn't recommend even trying zero traction on F1 22. Wait for 23 as zero traction there is apparently closer to medium on 22 anyway. ABS was the one I learnt last - you need to drive 'correctly' before that becomes possible really, otherwise you'll be locking up left, right and centre.

[@garbage2882]

Tbh I would just open Austria or something without any assists and play until I'd get a good time without mistakes

I absolutely love it on controller! Im so happy traction control is off. Its how it should be just like when playing competatively! People complaining are people that arent used to actually needing to lesrn how to play all f1 has been this way unless you uses all of the assists. Which slot did so they didnt actually need to learn how to control the throttle or learn how to acclerate through corners. Its not bsd they did s perfect job imo. Yall cant expect to nrver make a mistake you should be the one who gets messed up if you lose grip. You cant just throw a theottle down and expect it not to lose control. Practice! Its fun
