Wheel or Joystick

help guys

If it's not significantly different to previous entries, controllers work perfectly fine.
It's a 1st party XBOX title, so it was always developed with a controller in mind.

Get a wheel if you want to, it certainly is the much more immersive experience, but it should by no means be necessary.

You can't be competitive with wheel.

really? even if it's a "realistic" driving game? Why do so many sim racers have wheel set ups? Is it because they play other games designed for a wheel and this one was designed for a control from the ground up? Serious question... I'm new to modern racing games.

I used to dominate NFS Most Wanted back in the day with a Sidewinder 2 joystick. The short twitchy throws were way faster then any wheel or keyboard. Now I prefer the immersion of wheel and peddle setup. Just got old I guess. ultimately it's up to you. Do you want to dominate the entire planet or have a more realistic experience.

I guess it's more about the drive then the destination for me these days. I had my palm sweating, solders hunched, teeth grinding years were all I wanted to do was be in first place. Now I would rather be more precise with my driving lines and run though the gears. I like to be more immersed in the game rather than be all about being the best. In gaming at the end of the day we all hit the power button and step back in to our lives. Winning and loosing have little bearing in the real world so why not just enjoy the game.

Lol straight up BS here.

I’d say if people play Horizon with a steering wheel (I do on occasion), then Motorsport with a wheel should be just fine. I played longer with controller so I’m better with that, really just personal preference, don’t go buy a steering wheel unless you really want one

DS4 controller for me

Yes, because Motorsports does not have full simulation physics and is designed with assists to feels good as possible on the gamepad. If being competitive is not your priority, wheel is always more enjoyable.

Don't be ridiculous,I'm competitive on FM7 in all the rivals events.... It's a car game,cars have steering wheels.I don't need to be told about GP assists,we all know about them.My csw setup works fantastic with fm7....I'm sure it will with this game too.

I play with both depending on the game. My experience, controller is better if you know you are going to get crashed into lol. Try saving the car when you get punted in the middle of a turn with 900 degrees of wheel rotation. It's much easier to save on a joystick with 1" of travel.

Controllers are great but you can feel the road, the slip and drift plus more through a wheel than a controller. You are limited with a controller.

I do both, sometimes I want to put my feet up, lean back and just race and fall asleep, other times I want to try to do my PB and get better.

[Cheallaigh]

i have both and switch back and forth as needed or depending on how bad my one shoulder hurts lol.
