  • It's no secret that I think that Project Cars 2 is one of the best racing games available, and since its full release a few days ago the whole world has been turning laps. There is no doubt that PCars 2 is one heck of a racing title, but as always there are a few things that I think need to be improved. So here you have it... here are my 5 things I hate about Project Cars 2!

      going over the curb makes your lap time slower anyways.

  • @__boomer2__
    @__boomer2__ Před 6 lety +90

    The penalty system is overly sensitive. There's almost no room for error whatsoever. I used to think PC1 was bad, but 2 is even worse. I barely go over the curb and its screaming at me to slow down to avoid a penalty. I get they're trying to prevent corner cutting, but my god its annoying. Especially when you overshoot a corner in the last sector in qualifying and it invalidates both the current AND next lap. Just because you drove 3 feet off course for a split second.
    Online needs major help. It takes way too long to get into a race because the servers are too slow. It also prevents full field races (I rarely see any single event with more than 6-7 players at once).
    The spectating feature makes this 10x worse, and the fact the race info tab is wrong most of the time (says the cars are qualifying or practicing but in truth they've already started racing and the game is unjoinable to actually race) means I'm spending an easy 10+ minutes looking for a suitable race. Spectating needs to be removed or at least moved to a different page. I'm on the game because I want to drive, not watch 6 other people.
    Its a really good game, but it needs serious help right now.

    • @jamesbroad5056
      @jamesbroad5056 Před 6 lety +1

      The cutting is harsh but i would rather take the extra time to keep lines tidy than having everyone doing cross country every corner. Its annoying but meh, can deal with it.
      Certainly agree on the time between races. Unless you hop between lobbies it can really take a long time to get going again. I think iRacing and now GT sport have the best system where by the races are at set times and its upto the player to qualify and join in time. Much better system imo and it should appear in more sims.

    • @marcwaller3657
      @marcwaller3657 Před 6 lety +3

      It's actually stricter than real life, I've done things which wouldn't count as cutting on the real life track and had a penalty. Also in real life if you run off due to an error and lose time, you wouldn't then also get a penalty for track limits but that often happens in the game.

      Gran Turismo Sport is the same way, the sportsman rating is even worse, if someone hits you your SR goes down. Just yesterday a went to avoid a crash and steered off the track to keep from t boning someone and they clipped my rear bumper, not only did i get a 5 second penalty for going off the track my SR went down! I almost dont even like racing online because of it. I understand penalizing people who hit other intentionally and it seems like as smart as these games are the algorithms used should be able to differentiate between an accidental bump and an intentional hit

    I don't understand that they added cars & tracks where you can do endurance racing, but they still didn't added a save function during mid sessions. Like what is the point of doing long hours of sessions then? And this isn't just applies to PC2 but to the other modern sims too.

    So this "Pendulum Effect" you're talking about, is commonly referred to in real life as a "tank slapper". Next time you have to catch the rear of the car and you feel like its going to start the "pendulum", just let go of the steering wheel. The car should straighten up and you can drive out of it.

    For me it’s the inconsistency. I do a test session and the car handles great, then I load a race in the same car, same track and conditions, and I can’t even put the power down without spinning out. I just randomly lose it in corners when I’m taking it exactly the same as I did in the test. It gets old after a while.

    Hey Dan, great video! I've only recently found your channel, but you've quickly become one of my favourites.
    You bring up some great points here. This is a great sim. Interestingly, my most hated on video was when I expanded in your point #1, and said there were tiers to the cars. Fanboys lost their minds. The only point you and I disagree on is #5. As much as I love this sim, the lack of user-created mods is a big deal to me. I doubt this would happen, but if SMS would open the game to mods, this would for sure be my favourite. As of right now, Assetto Corsa's modding community (Race Sim Studio, ASR Formula, VRC, etc.) keep me coming back. But that's splitting hairs, overall I agree with your 5 points.
    Anyway Dan, keep up the fantastic work! You make great videos.

      lets work this out together... "simcade" is a combination of the two words "simulator" and "arcade", right? So, do you know the definition of arcade? Arcade is a type of game that gets progressively harder. Doesnt fit to PCars2, does it? PCars2 *simulates* Dynamic Racing Environment (it is not perfect in doing that, but it is *simulating* it). It *simulates* Dynamic Weather (imo better than any other even just racing themed game or simulator out there). It is not an arcade and it simulates something. Well, what is it if not a simulator?
      I might be a slight fanboy, but you have to admit, i stated facts, you were just ranting on the game with no proof at all.

  • @Buynot
    @Buynot Před 5 lety +3

    Something that I found about the game that I don't like is that the handling for many cars doesn't transfer between test sessions and actual races. I'd been driving an Indycar at Watkins Glenn, and in test sessions, the car handled just fine. Then when when I move to the race session, the car kept turning hard left at the top of the S'es (I was using the stable setup on both occasions by the way). I've noticed similar things happening with otber cars where they'll turn hard right or hard left when coming out of a corner. It happens on standing starts as well. Other times, the car feels fine in a test session, but then in the race, it's like the car can't stay in a sraight line. I just don't get what's happening because i test sessions, the car behaves completely fine. I really enjoy this game, but this has been bugging me for a while now, and I don't know what to do.

    The things I dislike are: bad gamepad support, I basically have to adjust my settings per car to get it right; no option to start the main window on a second monitor, have to change my primary monitor; reverse is the brake binding on the gamepad, makes no sense; the single player tracks only load when I have the window focused, I want to do things other things on Windows, a multitasking OS, while the tracks load.

    About your #2 point, it's all up to the driver. Since the launch of the game I get oversteer here and there, but never end up spinning. I have never played with VR, but I would say that's why people spin. I usually use the roof cam when driving and since the camera doesn't rotate like it does with VR, I notice oversteer early enough to control it. With VR I think it isn't as fast to spot it and you can't feel the car starting to slide. Also a little tip: when the car starts to oversteer, don't countersteer the max you can or you will spin off the other way.

    I think there are some other things worth mentioning. Project Cars's dev team is horrible, they haven't even fixed many of the bugs that their first game had, many years after it's release. They also censor their forums and even the CEO!! deletes some threads that criticize their game. Their updates are super vague, just stating "improvements and enhancements made" sometimes, which honestly could just mean they made one tree look pretty, doesn't even serve as an update. But I think another thing to think about is the price, it is 3 times the cost of assetto corsa (currently my favorite racing sim). Hope this helps add to things you need to know before buying this game.

    PC2 has SO much potential to become the greatest sim ever made. It looks amazing, but8 AI unfortunately sucks and physics are kinda meh with SOME cars. I wish theyd go fullblown sim in PC3 and just improve phyics and AI.

  • @Scott.Farkus
    @Scott.Farkus Před 4 lety

    I think when the Setup Engineer starts asking questions in a loop without making any adjustments it means that you've reached the limit of adjustment in that direction.
    I hate the music in PC2, I'm hoping there's an option or list of types of music you can select from somewhere in the settings, but I haven't found it yet. I would really like to listen to AC/DC while taking the Ferrari FXX K around Sears Point(Sanoma Raceway).

  • @tiagho14

    I believe the pendulum effect might be because of FFB setup. I unnistalled pc2 because of this, as I thought it was a major flaw if tyres did this, and was looking for new sims and found GTR2 for now.. because I have no internet connection right now and asked a friend to download the GTR2 (oldie) for me, as I was also curious.
    I looked for FFB improvements and found some things that mimiced that pendulum effect, wich is to sort of change how the wheel feels around center and such..
    So, now I want to get PC2 back and see if FFB files can be modified for that effect.
    Let me know if you try anything concerning that - I mean, any of you guys here.
    Cheers.

  • @Sk1ds87

    Well, I do like the race engineer. I use it to make very small adjustments of the handling. For example: I usually use the McLaren for GT3 races, but at some point I thought it was too oversteery at corner exit. So I asked the engineer what to do, it did 1 minor adjustment and now it's perfect!

    I'm going to race in the real world 2018 Swedish Ginetta GT5 Challenge. I brought this game home today and I found it amazing. You guys must understand that driving a race car isn't easy. Feeling a loose of grip on the race track is normal, and you should be able to control it, also on your Xbox steering wheel. I'm really impressed about how realistic the Ginetta GT5 felt in the game, and I can't wait doing the championship both on PC2 and in real life. :D

  • @autech578
    @autech578 Před 6 lety +2

    I hate the physics: nearly any car understeers and overall agility + traction are way too less for a realistic game. Driving is unnecessarily hard and sometimes so far away from reality that I can't help myself but laugh at it.
    Also, AI is completely broken. There are times when difficulty 30 AIs completely destroy you on one track and on another track 100 difficulty AIs shouldn't even try. I often get the feeling that either the AI has simplified physics or that they are actively 'cheating', because my very well tuned and as light as possible car isn't able to take corners at nearly the same speed as the AI is able to.
    I don't want to switch to another racing sim because I love the graphics and the sound but those two things seriously crack me up. (Also, Multiplayer is almost dead)

      Or... you can't drive. It's sound like that.
      How many races have you done IRL? How many race cars have you ever piloted at all? If none... that's what I assume... then all this _'realism'_ rambling is utterly pointless, because you're not the right person to form an opinion about stuff you've not the slightest real life experiences with, let alone any professional training.
      Freedom of speech/ expression of opinion doesn't include the freedom of forming an opinion about everything. This right simply doesn't exist and yet 90% of the people dare to form an opinion on everything. Google the Dunning-Kruger effect, that should keep you busy for while. Then go and educate yourself until you can eventually judge indeed how much _'understeer and overall agility + traction'_ certain (race) cars IRL have and thus if the game simulates it correctly or not.
      Ever heard of the real race driver consultants having been working with Slightly Mad Studios? Like René Rast (Audi factory driver + 2017 DTM Winner with Audi + 5 times 24h champion of Spa, Daytona and Nürburgring)? Tommy Millner (GT champion, 24 h champion as well)? Ben Collins (stunt driver)? To name a few. What's your expertise? Who tf are you to think you could judge the realism of this game? You couch potato video game drivers turned know-it-alls ... make me sick. As well as your counterparts in flight sims. There it goes as well, always: _'I'm not a pilot, but... '_ And I want to bellow at them: _'... and that's exactly where your sentence should just end! Now!'_ Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

  • @tjshultz89
    @tjshultz89 Před 6 lety

    I don’t know if this has been patched yet, but I would get terrible AI when it comes to entering and exiting the pits. Cars would enter too fast and glitch out and crash into other cars, or they’d exit out of the pits full throttle on cold tires and crash. That would happen mostly at Texas Motor Speedway. One time I was racing at Sugo and a car spun out in front of the start line about 60 laps into a 100 lap race and it’s front tires were unable to steer left or right, and for the rest of the race it would reverse and drive into the wall, over and over again. You’d have to time it right just to pass them without getting hit. I wasn’t playing on extreme difficulty or anything, so I’m not sure if my settings just enabled the AI to drive ridiculously. But I’ve had some great long races on PC2. Love the weather implementation and the ability to have a lot of cars in a race. The car damage is also superb.

    • @DanDiMaggio
      @DanDiMaggio  Před 5 lety

      yeah some wheels have an issue with oscillation on center. There is typically a setting to reduce this in the control panel or in game. I am not familiar with the Logitech wheels but look for something called oscillation reduction or center spring. Reduce whichever one of those you have until it goes away. Note that a slight negative side effect of this will be less ffb feeling on center.

    good video, however i disagree with the engineer part, yes it is frustrating 1% moving up and down, but it's fine tuning imagine you going up or down 5 points or 5% and you keep missing that fine tune, the only way it could be fixed was with more options i suppose so instead of 2 options it gives 4 for that larger increase/decrease but realistically i like the 1% up and down, bar good video, 5th was not really a 5th though lol, also 1 thing you could of put as your 5th is the "slicks" slick tyres are classed as broken even still today months after it's release, people are still avoiding useing them as cars are just out of control, i was on project cars 2 forum yesterday, asking about it as i was frustrated, (did a video of me not pushing a car and losing so much traction) got some advice (do not use slicks) changed that and boom whizzing around the track like a pro now lol.

    I agree on race engineer in your point that you can end up in a cycle of questions, but not in the other point.
    When you are new to sim racing you should drive the car, find out what is wrong and than make one or two small adjustments and see if it bought you in the right direction. What is the point of a race engineer that is changing 10 values and you still have no idea about why.
    My problem with race engineer is that you can not get rid of a car bouncing on curbs with it cause race engineer simply has no questions to solve that problem.

    @RubberStig Před 6 lety

    Hey Dan :-) With the recent patch (well .. it was 2 weeks ago), it might be worth revisiting this subject. With the pendulum effect you describe, I personally found that if I reduced the centring force in my windows wheel settings to practically nothing, this went away.
    While I don't necessarily agree that there is a premium verses cars in PC2, I definitely agree some seemed rushed. Some just seem counter to reality in the way they handle. The most notable example is the Lotus 49. From way back in Grand Prix Legends, this car was an absolute handful taking large amounts of skill and practice to master - this is still the case with this car in Assetto Corsa, but in PC2 it's a pussy cat (by comparison).
    There are numerous other cars that just feel flat as if their handling geometry is ultra safe. I've not had a chance to check out the patch myself yet.I'm currently away from home for work. back tomorrow! Looking forward to firing up PC2, slipping on the Oculus, and doing a bit of sliding.

    @ped0000 Před 6 lety

    Track limits- 2 wheels still in the line and you get a rediculous time fine, slow down for way too long.
    Catching oversteer- with a controller is practically impossible. Quickest solutions is to counter steer, brake and come to a stop before setting off again. Trying to correct will end up loosing loads more time.
    Multiplayer menu- shocking design. As a low ranking I'm unable to access many races yet it displays them to me. Add those to the races that are underway and have 20 laps remaining, I'm. Left with maybe 15% available. Just don't show them if I can access them. Seems like a no rainier to me.
    Tuning- for those that don't like tuning or are no good at it like myself the games potential is distant. Without a setup your so much slower and as mentioned in the video the engineer system would take to long to do. Similar to finding setups online and entering them. I purchased a race sim not an engineering sim. I want to drive. Forza used to have a system which enabled you to purchase someone else's tunes. I found this made for a much better racing experience as people had more stable cars and so by the end of the race you had less crashes and dropouts and much more satisfying races.
    Just now I have done a race. Had my quali time deleted for last chicane cutting. I was 2 wheels in the line. Started race at back. Avoided first corner hell. Got tagged on exit and forced off. Back on track the games tells me to give position back to the guy who pushed me off. The rest of the players beind are spinning about trying to get going again. By the time I hand the position back the leading pack are 30 seconds ahead and the guy who I game the position back to spins again and I'm all alone 1 min in to a race. Waste of time.

  • @cbmetalgod88

    The race engineer is a cool feature but it needs to be changed. Rather than actually making the extremely minor adjustment itself, it needs to take the player to the part of the car that needs adjusting and let them change it as much as they want. All the information about that part and what it does is already there...the player just needs to guidance on what to actually change.
