Wheelmode is NOT The ISSUE! - The Crew Motorfest

[@Luhpasty]

If you’re downloading a 3rd party program to gain an advantage, you’re cheating, flat out. Especially when there are people who have 4/5/6 hundred dollar gaming wheels and still choose to use wheel mode instead because using controller with wheel abilities is easier than using the gaming wheel itself. Never was one of these people complaining until some content creators started to act like what they were doing WASNT cheesy. it’s cheesy af.

[@ozfh]

Wheel and wheelmode are the exact same. I play on PC and have tested wheelmode but i still choose to use wheel. And im not just speaking out of my ass because i have a bunch of records with wheel, motorsports playlist and some others. My in game name is CanadianSpeed. Theres also other top players such as Diaz, Qi, Niconuen and Speedbooster who all use a physical wheel.

[@Widdyy]

Facts. If you go and look at the video on how to enable third party wheel mode, it’s so sketch 🤣. Like you cannot watch that video and think that’s okay 🤣.

[@kingsgold]

yes...but no. wheel mode doesnt do anything other than change how the car controls in game. it doesnt help you automatically win Summits or grand races, it doesnt help you avoid rammers in grand races, and it doesnt guarantee plat in summits. YOu still need track knowledge and car control. wheel mode doesnt help with any of that. Wheelmode wont suddenly help you take the best routes, or take all the corners perfectly. IIf you were bad at corners before wheelmode, you will be bad after wheelmode. Wheelmode does none of that. Someone not using wheelmode can beat someone that is using wheelmode because they have more skill in the game. "Advantage" means nothing unless you are only comparing 2 people in vacuum of equal skill and setup.

[@oTheGriMReaPeR]

​@@kingsgoldhypothetical arguments are what's ruining the debate. Most players don't have access to wheel mode because it's PC access only. Wheel and Wheel mode are still the superior handling choice above everything else, with wheel mode also having access to the clutch macro. Saying wheel is pay 2 win one could also argue PC is also pay2win with wheel mode.

[@Luhpasty]

For everyone replying to me, I’ve used both wheel mode and gaming wheels. It’s easier on controller 100%. Youre downloading 3rd party program for an advantage and if you don’t think that’s shady than you’re just coping with the unfair advantage you have over controller players. ✌️

[@cliffmaster5]

Wheelmode itself is not the issue at all. The crew 1 had wheelmode as an official input setting that everyone could use if they want. The real problem lies at ivory towers move to scrap this as a feature for everyone. Simply putting it back in so everyone can use it IF they want, is the Only move that seems fair to me

I agree with mostly everything u say here. I downloaded wheel mode on my controller yesterday for the first time and it’s an absolute joke. It completely changes your experience to the point where you feel like you’re no longer playing the same game - to your point of removing the weight from the cars, exactly. It definitely requires more skill to “perfect” however, I think you’re downplaying this a ton. To put it into perspective, I’ve played with regular settings for 200+ hours, and after just 30-45 min tinkering with settings and getting used to it, I was significantly faster on wheel mode. The advantage is so drastic that even an average player, who as long as they can control themselves from completely spinning out, can capitalize. I’m torn now because I feel like I have to use wheel mode as I enjoy grinding for top summit times, but using it makes the game way less enjoyable. They have to do something to balance it, it can’t be left the way it is.

[@satirthachatterjee351]

I think the main reason people are pissed about wheelmode is due to cross play, in pc you have the option but console players dont have that option. Also the summits are amalgamated as well hence less chance of getting platinum reward.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

That might be a major reason why people are upset but what do you do about the players on console who are using a physical wheel? Regular controller players are still at a huge disadvantage.

[@satirthachatterjee351]

​@@MilitiaGamingCommunityIt all boils down to how many people are taking advantage of that, not every pc player is using wheel mode nor every console player has a wheel but the probability is higher on pc. One of points I agree with you in a previous video is that if you have the option to use a faster method which is a feature in the game itself ( like shortcuts and resets) then use it instead of complaining and bashing on other players and sticking to a false sense of Justice. At the end it's something upto the devs itself. I understand some people are also tired of seeing the same 5 or 6 players in the top 10 list which can also be a result of low player count and skill gap. But instead of fighting each other just help each other out. And that's what content creators like you are for. Also I watch your every upload, I don't have motorfest but as a crew 2 player I'm keeping up with the latest stuff and would be ready when I hop in someday. May we cross paths there 🍻

[@PerpetualGains]

@@MilitiaGamingCommunity Wheels are also a huge learning curve, meanwhile learning wheel mode on a controller (especially if you’ve been using a controller 10+ years) is a lot easier to learn comparatively. No one is going to buy a gaming wheel for the first time and be setting world records and top 10’s in the summit within that same week. but you saw multiple people do that with wheelmode 🤥🤥🤥

[@Tesseract69]

@@PerpetualGains This is definitely an important consideration and I think it's one of the main reasons why some competitive wheel players are convinced wheel mode 'must be better than wheel' is because you have controller players who have been using a controller their whole life vs the 'occasional wheel user'. I mean even a highly competitive wheel player very likely still has spent more time playing games on a controller or keyboard and mouse, than a wheel setup. So you're getting people can really push the maximum potential out of a controller device + the benifts and advantages of wheel input, unlocking the full potential of the steering mechanics that's built into the game, and promptly setting WRs. Arguably, as far as hardware device design goes, I believe the ceiling of potential is higher on a wheel setup, it's just a harder ceiling to hit and one that many people who are using wheel, aren't hitting very high just purely because wheel isn't the most popular input choice for as many games. I've noticed a correlation of skill transition from highly competitive fps or fighting game (i.e. Mortal Kombat) players who use a controller, to then trying out a racing game, and even though they don't have a great lot of racing experience, just the accuracy and precision they've built with thousands of hours and years of game time on other demanding games, and they adjust and adapt to getting the max out of their driving relatively quickly and easily. There's many skills that can be built in other games, than transferred and adapted due to the extreme familiarity of using that same input device.

[@PerpetualGains]

[@emanuelfigueroa414]

I have a wheel play on ps5 don't own a computer(yet) mostly agree except for two things. 1 alpha gp is around 180⁰ rotation left and right from the 12oclock position so changing it from that to 360 isn't even real to the actual vehicle. 2nd you haven't lived till you are in first place loose traction get the death wobble fight your wheel for stability and find yourself behind 20 controller players. Yes it's frustrating but I wouldn't have it any other way. Playing with a controller on the couch is boring to me. Going from(spin out)last to top 5 on a sim rig using both hands and feet is a challenge. I wouldn't play any other way. I'm emanuel1080 by the way and as far as my wheel skill level? Been playing race games with a wheel for a year now and I still suck but I'm immersed and having fun. I didn't pay to win cause at 5 GR wins I don't I payed cause I love racing games and what's more fun than actually being feeling like your in the car?

[@the_wicked_klown]

Using a wheel is a learning curve too.. took me a couple weeks before I felt I was consistently better & even then I've been adjusting sensitivity settings & pro settings constantly. I think a bigger problem might be only having one playlist for PvP.. Talk about a skill gap issue, almost every race there is only 10 people finishing, new players don't get a chance to hit the 3rd vehicle sometimes.. and that is because the top Dawgs know the 10 races that are available too well by now

[@bran-rr]

I can’t even tell the difference in driving between top players on steering wheel (niconuen) and top players on wheelmode (predaking) lmao. wheel was broken as balls ever since the beta, but now it’s a lot more noticeable when people can use the same physics while not having to be locked behind a 200 dollar paywall (via wheelmode), imo the problem is not wheelmode, it’s IVT’s garbage mishandling on inputs which lead to wheelmode being a thing in the first place.

[@nickygonzalez2276]

Wheelmode is an offset problem of the main problem caused by IVT. The fact that players who have wheel still choose to use wheelmode says a lot. A wheel has greater advantage, yea but also comes with physically disadvantages. You can't play for 5 hours straight without feeling the pain. It's balanced. Now because ps5 players and Xbox players can't download the software means it's not fair anymore or "even less fair" if you wake into account controller being trash. Also the main issue comes from players who act like children showing off wheelmode to the masses and how "quick" they are with it. 🤷‍♂️ Edit: I play with a wheel and 480 degrees of rotations are just perfect. But again I've been playing racing Sims for almost a decade.

[@DRIVER--242]

After all that has been explained about Wheelmode in this and other content creator's videos, It's pros and cons, and how it could be used to gain an advantage. There is still so much misunderstanding and bias in the comments. Yes Ivory Tower need to fix this issue, maybe like others have suggested by the simple addition of a sensitivity slider to adjust controller steering (As it was in TC1) and eliminate the forced dead zone. I hope they do something soon.. Maybe then we can get back to racing and having fun! 🤷‍♂️

This is the same thing people are doing in Gran Turismo 7 setting their wheels to 180 degrees and out driving everyone else, so maybe these games need to give the console players the same sensitivity settings... Thanks Trigger👍

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

That might be the only fix

[@PoggiesItsPtica]

As someone who values fun and gameplay experience over the competitive under any cost side - I'm sticking to regular controller mode. Wheelmode is not the problem, the ceiling gap between controller and wheel is. These days I'm mostly on custom races (and summits when needed) and have almost completely stopped with GR as it got a bit stale. Plus I'm not a fan of resets/double resets.

[@Rehan.DBL_YT]

Honestly my take on it is: it’s not cheating, unless you’re using Wheelmode from 3rd party software. Using it on an actual wheel I find fair, because you chose to pay 200-600$ to get that advantage, but you need to quite literally relearn how to drive. With Wheelmode from 3rd party apps on pc I find unfair, because console can’t use it, if console was allowed to use it, it would be a lot more fair since then everyone could use it. I don’t really care that people use wheel mode, because I always make top 4000 in summits at the minimum and consistently get top 5 in grand races. I did lose a couple races however because of a mechanic on Wheelmode called "flicking" where you turn to the left and quickly turn right to where you can take turns at max speed that normally isn’t possible, which upset me because I lost 1st place, but it only happened a couple times so it isn’t to annoying, so I don’t care. I smoke most people anyways, including other wheel/Wheelmode players. Also if you’re someone that’s complaining abt Wheelmode, but get lower than the top 11500 in summits, and don’t place at least top 12 in grand races, I’m sorry but you just have a MASSIVE skill issue and you need to get good.

[@jamwatah]

I agree that most people won’t benefit from wheel mode and it’s not needed at ALL to get platinum in summits. But I think it’s more that it’s even possible in the first place and being exclusive to pc. i agree the devs need to balance it out a bit more. but let’s be realistic guys most of us are casual players who aren’t trying to be top 50 players in the world, i find the game to be very very enjoyable and winnable at a casual level, i do well in summits and GR just having fun. to the people it DOES affect tho, there needs to be something changed to make it more fair

[@SaneU_c]

I and many players would have the ability to get better on wheelmode. Even if it takes hours to learn, doesn’t mean some of us who are willing to put the hours in to practice with it wouldn’t appreciate the opportunity to do so. The fact that a setting in game isn’t accessible to everyone who doesn’t own a wheel or pc makes it unfair. It’s like if cod only had a sensitivity setting only for a portion of the community. Sure it’s harder to lock on targets and stay on target with a 10 sensitivity, but once u master those higher sensitivities, u can turn on ppl and lock on targets way faster than someone who’s stuck on a 5 sensitivity for example.

[@babtanian]

I'm not playing much Motorfest, but I have invested in a decent direct drive wheel rig for other games. The reason for it is immersion though, not for a competitive advantage. Certainly for a game like Horizon and even in something like Motorsport, using a wheel is noticeably more physical and more difficult than using a controller. I can race for hours on controller and put forth zero physical exertion, but race for a half hour on the wheel rig and begin to sweat. From the developer's perspective in Motorfest, smoothness and accuracy of input (and immersion) is a big part of the reason people play on a wheel rig. If they dulled that experience and essentially manufactured a hinderance to wheel input, literally all advantages of using a wheel would disappear. I can't imagine the developers would even consider doing that.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

I agree 100%. On the flip side, if they granted controller players the ability to have wheel steering, they would effectively be giving all players the ability to "ruin" the driving experience that they designed. I do not see IVT doing anything about this considering how few people it actually effects. The advantages and disadvantages of various input devices and software is an issue in lots of games right now.

[@babtanian]

@@MilitiaGamingCommunity - I don’t expect them to address it either; partly because of the minuscule impact you mentioned, but also because action is not warranted. I think if someone wants to use a wheel, they ought to have the input advantages it offers to counteract the disadvantage associated with how physical it is in comparison. If they can somehow detect and suppress the third party software that provides a controller with the input advantages of a wheel, great; but that’s about all they should do about it.

[@Tesseract69]

Yea, which is why nerfing wheel isn’t an option, but rather buffing controller starting with removing the hard capped and locked deadzone of ~25% that can’t be removed in-game, even after setting deadzone to 0 in steering settings. That’s a serious oversight by the developers when many people would prefer to have less deadzone than that so they can have more responsive and less slow/delayed steering input. The next thing after that, is a steering filter slider (similar to the toggle switch they had in TC1 but which IVT removed in TC2) where you can tell the game if you want your controller device to be recognized as ‘pad’ or ‘wheel’, thereby giving you a choice of steering mechanics feel in game rather than being forced to use only one or the other, by ones hardware input choice.

[@bleach4sale497]

Both have their pros and cons wheel/wheel mode are more difficult to take cuts with. If you start spinning or losing control you need to know how to react. But you have much greater control of the car on the road. Standard Controller player while not having the ceiling as high as wheel players will be much more consistent in lap times especially on a course that features off road cuts. I’ve played on both personally and platinumed summits with each and these are my takeaways. And no I’m not one of the wheel nerds that play 180 radius with no force feedback that defeats the purpose of buying one.

[@MxgicIQ]

This is equivalent to saying a Cronus isn’t cheating or a Xim apex isn’t cheating. Also name a racing game (besides NFS) that is HIGHLY competitive where wheel is not better… wheel should be better. Any 3rd party software is cheating if not all players have equal access. Period…

[@PhtevenMilitia]

does cronus or xim give you an advantage that you can get with another "non cheating" input device? im unfamiliar with those. i agree that that it not being accessible to everyone is not fair. although you CAN use a wheel on every platform. wheelmode would have never existed if the wheel input wasnt as big of an advantage. i dont use it becuase it does not affect me in any way, the people that are using it where already faster and beating me anyways, and by me using it the skill gap from me to them will still be there and i will still lose. all that is happening is the controller players that had there skill ceiling capped now have the same ceiling as wheel players without a price tag attached. also i feel like there is not as many people using wheelmode as everyone thinks there is.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

Wheels also use third party software to achieve the same results as wheelmode. If you think wheelmode is cheating then by your own logic, wheels are also cheating. But also, in this video I wasn’t arguing whether the “cheating” label should be applied. I was simply saying that people are focused on the wrong issue. The real issue is how big the gap is between wheel and controller.

[@MxgicIQ]

@@MilitiaGamingCommunity wheels do not require 3rd party software as I had to install 0 software to my console to run my wheel so that is not true. As per pc if you don’t use the program the game still recognizes the wheel simply plug and play so by “that logic” that claim is false.

[@Tesseract69]

@@MxgicIQ Incorrect. At least for PC's, wheels aren't just plug and play and magically work in any game without the required installed drivers to fully utilise the game support of a wheel setup such as force-feedback and other vibration effects. Wheel software is 1st party manufacturer software that comes bundled with the wheel and is part of the purchase cost of it. The ability to fine tune your wheel settings such as steering sensitivity is no different to owning a Dualsense Edge or Xbox Elite controller and using 1st party software such as i.e. Xbox accessories, to customize your thumbstick linearity. These options and controls are given to the user and if that's 'cheating' then using Steam (most popular digital library on PC) is 'cheating', as you can remap and reconfigure how your devices work with a particular game within Steam also. Wheelmode is literally no different to using DS4 or reWASD, or Steam, to trick a game that doesn't support your Playstation controller into thinking you're using an Xbox controller so that you can use your Playstation controller in Xbox controller only supported games. I don't think console players who are unfamiliar with the PC world realise just how normal and accepted it is to use the devices your purchase the way you wish to use them. The freedom of options and customisability is precisely why people buy and use PC's to begin with, rather than being limited to brand products decided by the corporations i.e. Microsoft or Sony, of what you're 'allowed' to use or not use. That's where PC is different (and better) in that you don't have that restriction or limitation. I have a video on my channel showing how I can use my analog keyboard as a standard generic keyboard, a Xbox (xinput) controller recognised device, or a classic controller (HID Gamepad, aka wheel input) device. All via the 1st party software that came with my keyboard which is required to control the keyboard lighting. Do I have to use it? Of course not. I could just leave my keyboard with default lighting and forgo any of the options and customisability I paid for and am entitled to with my purchase. But somehow using what you have default access to and paid for is 'cheating' 🤔

[@ScheefferPedro]

Whoever uses wheelmode is cheating. End of Story. If it was allowed, it would be in the TCM Configuration, and you wouldn’t need to download an external tool just to enable Wheelmode. Also, it’s a racing game, it’s meant to be played on a wheel, of course that for you to achieve the highest level you’ll need a wheel. Just like in Gran Turismo/Assetto Corsa/ iRacing / Any Formula 1 game, playing with a wheel is faster, but that doesn’t mean it’s easier. With a controller you have WAY more control over your car and it’s way harder to lose control, so you can still be fast with a controller but not as fast as a pro wheel player. So it’s not pay to win, just how it’s supposed to be. Just like it’s better to play a FPS game like Rainbow Six Siege with a MnK instead of a Controller.

[@CrustyHolyGrail]

The biggest problem in this game is crewing up and doing summits, double resets in grand races and not giving new people a chance to keep up with at least the top 15 racers that actually finish. Racing on a sim wheel is very easy just by adjusting force feed back and what you say about sim wheels doing 900 degree turn is called calibration which is something you gotta do before you use it and that goes for your pedals and if you are using a shifter. Wheelmode just mimics a sim wheel and nothing else. it should only take a few hours to learn. If it takes you longer than give up bc your butt

[@TheRealdraudE]

From everything I have heard and learned, wheelmod is in black and white terms a cheat, but should be allowed similar to an fps bypass, dx tweak or etc, a similar issue happened in the old days of gd where having an expensive monitor would help you by letting you bypass the standard 60 fps, so a fps bypass cheat was created, many people disagreed with it like this but it didn't immediately get you skill you still had to learn how to be good just like this situation, however it shouldve been in the game to begin with

The problem is everyone doesn’t have the extra funds to shell out to purchase a wheel. Does everyone who logs in to the The Crew Motorfest have the option available to them to utilize wheel mode on their controllers to play the game No, they don’t. The problem is everyone is not playing on PC where they can utilize this 3rd party app to make their controller perform as if it is a wheel.

I completely agree with this take, being someone who is of the 1% and plays on PC with a controller and full sim rig, wheelmode has bridged the gap a bit but not fully (3-4 seconds usually per event) in my own use after almost 3 weeks of the new wheelmode; having a sim though i still place higher because of the finer control especially in vehicles in the higher classes and pvp races, for regular events and farming parts, controller makes it easier to relax and enjoy the game a bit more but having a wheel is def an advantage for someone who enjoys the competition.

The thing I never got about cheating is the fact that you can’t even fully enjoy the prize you were playing for in the first place.

It’s good you clarified the actual problem being the third party software and not wheelmode. W Video Trigger!

[@Valvey789]

One quick fix would be for the game to allow only a "Dynamic" setting on the wheel, i.e. you have to let the game set the wheel rotation for the category of car you're using. For street cars it sets the rotation to 450 degrees in either direction , down to 90 degrees for Alpha GP. I use the Dynamic setting on my wheel. I'm a mid driver on wheel, and mid on controller.

No matter what anyone says about the wheel mode, that it has no advantages, although it has a few advantages: I own a Logitech G27 wheel and an xbox x controller, so there are cars with slow gearshift such as the Lamborghini from the playlist awards, or other classic cars, when shifting gears with a lever, there is no pause between gear changes as when controlling from the controller, this is the first advantage, and the second, although it is not big, it is shown in the video, although it does not look like the real behavior of the car and someone may not like it, but those who play for the result will use it and have more advantages over players with a controller.

[@oishkip]

They should just make it adjustable…. Controller settings are so delayed that no wonder the people who care about time attack want to get rid of it BUT it’s still twitchy and has a learning curve so they should just make it personalized just like the steering throttle braking etc

I think most people using a wheel and wheel mode would not be very happy if IVT setup a new matchmaking system based on what input you use. If they didn’t mind having the same advantages as everyone else they wouldn’t use wheelmode. Being put solely against other wheel players levels the playing field.

If they didn’t care about having an advantage they’d stick to the same inputs as everyone else.

I might be able to turn faster but when your wheel gets thrown around it’s way easier to be accurate on a controller rather than having to spin the wheel back to center. Don’t even get started on pedals, unless you have great pedal. Definitely sounds like he uses wheel mode. It means nothing to throw words over a picture. If wheel is so much easier on turning how can people drift so easily on controller but it’s way harder to be accurate on wheel?

[@Andre_Albert]

Using a physical wheel has additional advantages that I didn't hear mentioned (or I missed them). A wheel is generally around 300mm in diameter. It's MUCH easier to maintain precision in a turn holding something that large, especially with force feedback allowing you to feel it/when traction is about to be lost. Trying to be as precise with the tiny analog stick is much more difficult. As a side note, Motofest let's you change the degree of wheel rotation. No 3rd party software needed (although it's noted that the capability to further adjust settings in the wheel software exists) I'm addition, I find having paddle shifters under each hand helps a ton as well. It allows for maintaining the direction of the turn while shifting, as opposed to hunting for a controller button and losing position on the analog stick. As far as fairness, I don't see it as being any different to someone using a keyboard and mouse who arguably have a major advantage as well, especially in shooter games; or someone using the old-fashioned 6 button arcade controller to play Mortal Kombat. At the end of the day, people will use the controller/input they're most comfortable with. As for wheel mode for the controller, I know nothing about it, but it seems like another option for people to try. If they become good at using it, good for them. I don't think Ivory Tower needs to do anything. In fact, I commend them for supporting various options. If anything, to appease to those who don't like it, maybe they could implement a setting like Crossplay where game lobbies could be restricted to a specific input type (i.e. controller, controller as wheel, wheel, keyboard, etc.)

I only found out about this about two weeks ago but now it makes sense how some ppl turn at 280 km/h without braking and some need to take the same turn with 240 max. In grand races, most of these ppl still lose because in those you have to actually be a good driver and it's very situational, but in timed events, summits, rankings for playlists, they are all full of cheaters and glitchers and wheelmode users. Ivory needs to adress these, wipe out all the times of these so called " top players" and find a way to make the game fair for everyone.

I beleive that a page should be taken out of IMSA's playbook. What I'm talking about is MULTICLASS RACING. The breakdown would be like something this: PRO CLASS: P.C. players, Console players with WHEEL SEMIPRO CLASS: All CONTROLLER CONSOLES CAPABLE of 60 FPS AMATEUR CLASS: CONSOLES INCAPABLE of of FPS (XBOX ONE, PS4?) Prizes awarded in SUMMITS and GRAND RACES according to CLASS. GRAND RACES would not have to be extended to allow 1 of each class to finish, you just have multiple "WINNERS" (1 in each CLASS).

It’s okay guys! It’s Only the top players cheating.. it’s only the top players abusing the reset mechanic.. it’s only the top 10,000 that get platinum rewards on the summit so if you miss out by 1-100 you just need to get “better” 😉😉. So by that logic people that use wall hacks in CoD isn’t cheating by downloading something 3rd party to get an advantage over the rest of the players?? I mean they are top players so let them get all the advantages they want right. I disagree with your wheel comment, wheels are designed for console and pc and the devs put the settings in the game if you choose to buy one. Explain to me how someone on console and abuse this wheel mode mechanic?? Oh wait they can’t because you can’t download 3rd party exploits on console. So now that everyone is grouped together in Summits it doesn’t take long for pc players to get adjusted to it and now good luck trying to get that car in the Summits. Personally IVT should separate Summits again based on console OR increase the platinum count OR make it point based.

Console players can buy a wheel and have the exact same advantage and when you buy a wheel, you download third party software which allows you to adjust your settings. Wheel=Wheelmode.

[@Tesseract69]

Some controllers identify as a ‘wheel input’ when plugged in to a console. The driver for wheel is a standard HID-compliant game controller driver (which is on all platforms), it’s a fundamental driver to make anything with axis inputs work. There’s also adapters you can buy (or make yourself) that while trick your console into thinking you have a wheel plugged in when in fact you’re using a controller. You could probably put the blame of the extra effort required to use wheelmode on controller on consoles due to large companies locking down their platform and restricting you to only ‘approved’ hardware products. Limited consumer choice and options is why people buy PC’s so they have more choice and control over what and how their devices perform like. Such is the extent of device mandating that IVT removed the ability to let your controller identify as a wheel in The Crew 2, when it existed in the Crew 1. IVT have taken a backwards step to this issue and it’s in their hands to do something about the device input imbalance.

[@Daleorean]

@@MilitiaGamingCommunity The wheel software in question is to adjust the wheel, the software that allows players to use wheel mode is tricking the game into believing the controller is a wheel, they aren't even in the same scope. sure having a wheel is costly and you CAN perform better with it but it comes with the added downside of being physically exerting to use constantly have to move your arms to turn and move your feet to accelerate while the controller has what? finger fatigue? why should controller have nearly all of the advantage of using a wheel with none of the short comings it doesn't make sense, also if we were to give all players this wheel sensitivity option then by that token why not give all call of duty players aim assist regardless of their platform or input device. while i don't have a solution that could directly solve the problem would using wheel mode still not be considered cheating in the same scope as using a xim in cod or siege would be? they have an anti cheat in the game and while this is a very unique circumstance other companies are already cracking down on the usage or third party software or accessories to gain an advantage so why should ivory tower consider that also?

[@Tesseract69]

You're conflating two entirely different things. One is cheating, one is not. Here's how. The aim assist feature is to help balance the controller inaccuracy and difficulty in precision consistency with that of a keyboard and mouse. The very purpose and intention of aim assist on controllers is to balance one input more closely with the other input which has default hardware advantages over the other, i.e. the pinpoint accuracy of a mouse. Someone who uses aim assist on a piece of hardware that is already advantaged by default due to its mechanical design and construction of it, that absolutely 100% is cheating. As they are getting the combined benifts of both while simultaneously destroying the level playing field the developers tried to create between two different input devices. This is unlike wheelmode where you don't get the advantages of easier air-control, reduced understeer, auto speed adaptive turn in angle, controller vibration and haptic trigger feedback etc. All that is disabled on wheel, so by using 'wheelmode' you only get the wheel input positives, but you also get all the negatives that come with it, such as the removal of the aforementioned things. You're not getting the perks and benifts of two different kinds of input devices, you're only getting one in favour of the other. And here's the funny thing. Wheelmode was found and discovered by people looking to *balance the inputs* and the disparity between the lack of precision and control controller steering that wheel has. To think wheel already has these advantages *by default* due to its mechanical design and function, yet they are also *further advantaged* by the games code. While controllers are disadvantaged by having a forced, and *an unable to be removed* ~25% deadzone, and a very aggressive, non-linear, slow, unresponsive and unprecise steering filter. So no, it's not like using aim assist on a keyboard and mouse setup and abusing two advantages (hardware and game code advantage). Wheelmode is *actually* the aim assist itself. It's to balance the inputs disparity between controller and wheel and to bring controller up to the equal and level playing field as wheel. This is nothing but an IVT failure to properly balance inputs that the community had to resort to finding a solution themselves to address the input balance unfairness. That's what people are not understanding about this. Wheelmode is a consequence of poor game design. It's not 'a cheat over every other device', it's an input device difference balancing solution.

[@Daleorean]

I disagree entirely that these issues are different by any stretch of the imagination, firstly if aim assist was to help balance the controller inaccuracy competing against MnK players then why i must ask are PC players more often than not using controller to take advantage of aim assist, because its way more consistent than an average player could be with MnK and only high level players could compete with the aim assist consistently which doesn't make up the majority obviously. so then lets apply the same logic to wheelmode, using a wheel has the advantage of being faster IF you are experienced enough to utilize it efficiently however, even if you are efficient using a wheel the immediate downsides of it are that you are using most of your body to race i.e. your entire arms are steering and using both your feet to accelerate and brake assuming you are using automatic. All of that can be tiring especially over long gaming sessions that wouldn't be otherwise felt in the same regard when using wheelmode as you are only using your hands and fingers to achieve a similar effect to the person using the wheel, on top of this there are just some things that can't be done using a wheel that CAN be done using wheel mode chief among which is the crazy switches in directions without consequence highlighted in goliath's video, so while you believe that this isn't the same as using aim assist on MnK i completely disagree as you are using a much less physically intensive instrument being the controller while using third party software to take advantage of game code meant to be used with a different input entirely. using a steering wheel in an arcade racer seems silly in concept anyway but to add on to that it is a minority of the playerbase that would be taking advantage the quicker turning speeds while having the downsides of it being an expensive investment on top of it being more physically exerting to use over a controller, wheelmode doesn't have either of these downsides and these so called advantages of using a controller are trivial at best as the ability to control whether you are using a controller or wheelmode is completely in your hands and could be switched at will. Anyone who actively rallies with the idea that wheelmode is anything but cheating is coping and those who believe that this is a way to balance the input disparity against an input that is both a time invest and a money invest while also being a such small percentile of players must also believe that the aim assist in the new CoD games is fair because of the small percentile of players that also invest time and money into improving instead of just buying a controller or in this case using some software. stop coping this is cheating and no point of view thus far as proven me otherwise.

So I’m still trying to figure out why is this a big issue. If it was a big issue why hasn’t IVT put out an “ricochet” defense like CoD. So why is a big problem to you users ?

Saying wheel mode and an actual wheel setup are the same, when they actually aren't. Wheel mode is a literal hack/mod. An actual wheel setup from Logitech, fanatec etc has been licensed an okay'd by pc game devs, Microsoft, Playstation, an even console game devs. Big difference from some random sketchy mod on the internet compared to an officially licensed product lol, even if they essentially do the same thing, just one with a controller. You're also forgetting how the first crew actually had "wheel mode" in the settings. Simple fix.. put that shit back in the game lol. All the settings and things that have been removed we all liked, should never of been removed to begin with. Ivory Tower just keeps screwing the pooch.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

Yes of course there are differences including one you didn’t mention…wheel being more physically demanding than controller. I meant that the performance benefits are the same. I don’t think IVT will put it back though because it ruins the driving experience and players will feel forced into a worse driving experience to remain competitive. I’m curious what, if anything, they do decide to do though. Tbh, it doesn’t affect my personal experience with the game. I’m just interested in what their stance is.

Question, Can any player no matter the platform use Wheelmode? No... then it's a problem regardless of players skils! The real problem is consoles and PCs.... They should never allow Crossplay between them, there's too much potential for modding, hacking and cheating with PCs! And why are you always defending exploits and bad behaviors?! You're really making me dislike you... 😒

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

I think you may have missed the point of the video. The gap is between wheel and controller. Wheelmode is just a band aid. Console players with a wheel have a significant advantage (provided their skills are up to par) over console players with a controller. Wheel=wheelmode

[@MrZancruz]

@@MilitiaGamingCommunity Nope, I fully understood that before your video... anyone with the cash can buy a wheel (That's a choice, Like not using meta) Not everyone can use a wheelmode program and that's where it's not FAIR to all, Wheelmode usage should be frowned upon by the entire community!

never was, i get they get a cleaner line better turnin n all, but so can u even onna controller. js be better keep practicing

[@xnotasweatx]

Yeah, no. This is cheating, it’s a completely separate application, it’s like using a wall hack in Competitive COD, sure there’s a perk for it but not permanently. This is cheating, your cheating

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

I understand why people think its cheating however I want you to think about something...When you buy a wheel, you download third party software that gives you the exact same advantage as a player who uses wheelmode. If you think wheelmode is cheating, then so is using a physical wheel according to your logic. And, I think most people do not think using a physical wheel is actually cheating which is exactly my point in the video. The issue is that there is a significant advantage to having the control of a wheel in Motorfest over a controller. Anyways, happy racing!

Man i dont agree with you, wheelmode help you a lot i play on ps5 i tried on pc with wheelmode on ps5 remote its like day and night diference, for how hard i tried i never stay above gold never no matters what i do with the wheelmode you can do 120.000 in the summit easly, ps5 ? 104.000 or with luck 110.000 so dont defend who exploit the game, platinium rewards ? You always going to say bye bye to hard for ps5 players. I follow you since need for speed heat and my opinion you loosing credits to me defending exploiters and saying that not a advantage.
