stix Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 Anyone pre-ordered this? I'm looking forward to it arriving on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 I have, but I'm quite tempted to cancel it with career mode being cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix Posted 7 July 2015 Author Share Posted 7 July 2015 I've only just read about that. Very strange move from codemasters. I'm abit gutted now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 Can absolutely live without career mode. Racing AI is not fun for me at all. Looking forward to it though as i've not played an F1 game for about a year/18 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenfox Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 Graphics look incredible but I've always found F1 games dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonfox1884 Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 I've pre-ordered it, bit surprised they've taken career out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 What have they put in its place then? Anyone got a link to the info about the game? Surely 75%ish of people who play it do so primarily for career mode? Will it still have a co-op season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely 75%ish of people who play it do so primarily for career mode? Will it still have a co-op season? They've put more effort into the championship challenge mode or the equivalent. They felt it would break immersion because of commentary and all these gimmicks they've put in which is ridiculous. With 2014 cars in there, you'd think that might have added to career mode but no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 No career mode? That's crazy. I was just tempted to look into getting this but only for the career mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenfox Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Just got this from the psn store. I have no idea why & it will probably bore me to death like project cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonfox1884 Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Is decent. The AI are a lot more realistic in their overtaking and defensive manoeuvres, in my first race I got completely sold a dummy by Rosberg and he overtook me into the 1st corner, it's great that it's improved once again this year.

stix Posted 11 July 2015 Author Share Posted 11 July 2015 #1 in the world at Austria I can't even get close to that time! Think my best is a 1:10.100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 12 July 2015 Share Posted 12 July 2015 Reading a few reviews it sounds like a shambolic offering this year. Always mainly played online co-op with mates. I'll pass until they hopefully make a full game next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix Posted 12 July 2015 Author Share Posted 12 July 2015 I must admit I'm not as impressed as I hoped I would be. Even graphically it isn't what I anticipated it to be. I think Forza 5 is better graphically tbh and that game is nearly 2 years old now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 12 July 2015 Share Posted 12 July 2015 I'm quite enjoying it, needs a little bit more work though. Does feel like I playing a game in Alpha stage at some points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stix Posted 12 July 2015 Author Share Posted 12 July 2015 I agree. The trailer made it look stunning. The graphics are not bad by any standard though. No, it's not bad, it's just abit underwhelming. The fact there is no career mode has annoyed me, and the fact that it seems they have put their all into the new pro season mode, which is just some next level hardcore mode that I will never ever use. I tried it today, and switched it off almost instantly. So because I won't be using their flagship mode, the gaming options left just feel very arcadey, if you know what I mean. There's no real reward in playing the standard championship mode, no promotions to a better team, no progression etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWoodIsClass Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 I'm enjoying this game but the multiplayer has severe faults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEGGSY Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 Worth getting? Used to love the F1 games on 360 but have bought one since 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Multiplayer is basically not multiplayer. So so many bugs and faults in this game which is a shame because the handling and graphics are good I think. Once they fix the bugs it should be good.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 yeah, the matchmaking is broken no idea why they've done it like that. It's a shame they've axed career mode though, the AI are the best they've ever been in a codemasters F1 game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceNoir Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 What bugs are you experiencing in multiplayer? I was playing yesterday against my brothers, where we set the rest of the field as AI. We were racing in Austria. I think I came in third place, but just as I crossed the line, it popped up saying Ricciardo set a 00:49 as the fastest lap. When the scores came up, it had me in seventh and Ricciardo in first. I hadn't received any penalties. Turns out quite a few of the AIdrivers had set laps of about 50 seconds, while others were on 01:13ish. My fastest was a 01:12 or something like that. It's a good game though. The sense of speed is really rewarding and as others have said, the AI is much better than in previous F1 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammo_lcfc Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 When you say they have axed career mode, can you do a one off season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
