Fluids must be at operating temps or the ECU will restrict acceleration. Once everything is at temp, the F will not have any acceleration issues in Sport or Sport+.
Remember: this car is engineered to rev. Put it into manual, Tach it up to at least 4-5k rpm, and you will not lose a beat.

When car is fully warmed up, I notice in Sport+ (manual mode) when accelerating in 2nd gear right around 2000-2200RPMs, I get a slipping/hesitation before it corrects itself and is fine. Mostly with slow acceleration...fast acceleration doesn't really trigger this.
Also when decelerating and coming to slow stop, sometimes it jams/jams into first gear on its own. Doesn't happen all the time but sometimes.
Overall, I still like the tranny and finding which mode works best in which situation like bumper2bumper traffic, light traffic, slow driving, etc...
Does this happen to anyone else?

I just had that notorious 2 sec hesitation, while driving today. Annoys the crap out of me!

So it was engineered on my car in sport+ mode to lose a beat in the lower rpms in manual/auto mode?

Take a video on your smartphone and show us what is happening. If you are taching up, there should be no delay.

Accelerating slowly I still have my slight hesitation right at 2k RPM in S and S+ mode...I am fully warmed up and doesn't matter if I am in auto or manual mode...still get the same results...I have just learned to live with it b/c the rest of the RPM band is fine.
It doesn't do this in 1st gear but I notice it in higher gears. I will have to double check it does this in 2-8 gears.

I will have to get a vid when I get the chance.

1k RPM? Idle is 750 and I have never seen my car get to 1k even at 40MPH in 8th gear.

The pursuit of F
I have the 2200 rpm 2nd gear hesitation as well.
For those who posted that also have it, do any of you have the Apexi Accel controller? Wondering if this might mitigate the hesitation...

Turn off Eco mode in settings. its been almost a month since I turned it off no lag or delay and no fuel pump noise either. I def felt a difference turning it off the car responds much better

No. If it is consistently happening, take it to service for diagnostics.
