“Discover the Exciting Modes and Features of EA Sports WRC: An In-Depth Exploration”

In the latest update on EA Sports WRC, we’re diving deeper into the game’s features and what players can expect when it launches on November 3 for Playstation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC. This time, we’ll be exploring Career mode, Moments, Multiplayer, and more. Joining us is Molly Pettit, a well-known broadcaster and journalist for WRC, to break it all down.

Career mode is at the heart of the WRC experience, where players will strive to lead their team to victory against the world’s top rally drivers, cars, and teams. The first decision players will make is where to start their first season on the WRC ladder. For those looking to establish a legacy across multiple classes, Junior WRC is the perfect starting point, with Rally3 cars providing an excellent entry for newcomers. Alternatively, players can begin in WRC 2 or dive straight into the deep end with the Rally1 cars in the top class of competition.

Once the class selection is made, players will embark on the journey of creating their own rally team. This process begins with team branding, including choosing a name and colors, before meeting the Chief Engineer and Benefactor. Throughout the career, teams will work alongside the Benefactor, who provides funding and sets goals and objectives for each season. Driving well will result in increased budgets for future rallies, as well as the ability to hire teammates, recruit more engineers, acquire new cars, and more. The calendar keeps track of all upcoming rallies, special events, milestones, and other important details. And not only will players have the opportunity to drive various cars from the world of rally, but they can also build and customize their own car, leaving a lasting mark in rally history.

In the mid-2000s, legendary rally driver Colin McRae embarked on an ambitious project: creating an all-new rally car called the McRae R4. In EA SPORTS WRC, players have the chance to not only drive the McRae R4 but also follow in Colin’s footsteps by designing and developing their own modern-era rally car from scratch. The first decision is to choose which class to compete in: WRC, WRC2 (including Rally2 events), or Junior WRC. Players will then be tasked with building a car that complies with each class’ regulations, ensuring fair and competitive balance with real-world cars.

Once the class is decided, players can choose the car’s engine layout, which will impact its weight balance and driving characteristics. For example, a mid-engined car may offer more potential but could be costlier to build and more challenging to drive for those accustomed to front-engined machinery. Next, players will select various mechanical components, each with its own unique traits and features. Some parts may be of higher quality or allow for custom tuning, but budget considerations must also be taken into account to keep the overall cost of the car manageable. Finally, players can customize the car’s appearance, from bumpers and spoilers to wheel rims and smaller details like body pins, lights, and air intakes. There are even options to personalize the interior, allowing players to create a truly one-of-a-kind machine ready to take on Career mode, Time Trial, Clubs, and more.
