Buggy As Hell
Honestly all you fangirls going on about how amazing the 'mentality hub' is and the 'create my team' all means nothing when the game still has glitches that haven't been fixed since the first iteration.

The basic game play is fundamentally flawed in so many ways it's not funny.

Car set ups still mean nothing. I don't even pay attention to car setups because how much downforce you have on ur car means sh!t in this game ..... but sure as hell ,means EVERYTHING IRL.

Still tyres mean absolutely nothing in this game. For instance I select a 1 stop race .. babied my tyres around for the first stint never went over yellow , activated 'avoid kerbs' by the time my pit stop rolled around I actually had almost 10% better tyres than those around me. Switched to Hards which easily should have got me thru to the end yet I am on 45% (H) and a VCARB went past me like I was standing still on 39% softs ? I was in a Mclaren and had both VCARBS covered for pace the entire race then with 3 laps to go that scenario plays out. I couldnt get close to the VCARB even when he went into the 20s and here i am on 34% hards.

The stupid Pit Crew management system hasn't changed one bit so while I'm starting my current pit stops at around 2.4 sec i fully expect by season 2 to rise up into the 4 sec mark like last years version of the game as no matter what sort of training you implement ur going to have to allow to lose 2 sec to the top markers from season 2 onwards.

They went big on track evolution in the pre hype videos and there is absolutely Zero track evolution. It is a straight up lie.

How can you manage to make a game more GPU hungry from one year to the next yet have the visual quality of the game look like its been sent thru a muddy blender before hitting our screens? HOW?

AI Racers are the same , no different at all , either ur driver or the AI will not overtake in other sections of a racetrack than one or two pre programmed. There is absolutely no spontaneity at all with the on track racing.

Then there is the radio messages. I lost count of the insertion of completely the wrong words from the race engineer compaired to what is actually happening on track. For instance I fight my way to 6th with Oscar and Tom comes over the radio and says " bad luck mate that's P19 today" and " Oscar is all like " better luck next race " HE CAME P6 FFS!!

This game can have all the sponsorship , build ur own team , mentality systems in the world but if they can't get the actually fundamentals of what make F1 so exciting then it means nothing.

We have all been conned again!!

This game is much worse than F1 Manager 22 when it was released.
It's unbelievable how bad and lazy Frontier is.

People will never learn not to pre-order games. I have no sympathy.

these days preorders dont mean squat. if you preorder and dont like the game, you can just refund within 2 hours.

So preorders are no longer the garunteeed sales they used to be

Buggy As Hell?
I can't judge - my game crashes repeatedly before the 2nd day!
I can't remember ever having experienced anything like that... :steamthumbsdown:

Only issues I've had is when simulating the setups change drastically from what I set and with simulation races being completely unrealistic. other than that I've had no issues with tyres or anything else and with the pit stops you've got to alternate between rest and stop time focuses for it to work I've already improved my pit crew from 2.9 to 2.4 within 10 races.
