I can’t imagine how awful a player one must be to get sacked in this game, however. 

 

True!

 

However, I can see the issue for those who play as Williams or Aston, if they try to play "hard", as it not using the unrealistic advantages in things, and then get the rule-change that only top 6 scores points. Especially Williams where the goal is to score points in 50% of the races in season 3.

So I'm WDC/WCC with Alpha Tauri and Red Bull (on a speedrun), got all the PS5 trophies and that's pretty much it for me I guess. There is actually very little replayability and far too easy. Has anyone actually managed to hit the budget cap?

I haven't touched it since 3rd Sep. Reading the latest patch reactions it doesn't really make me want to go back either.

Yeah, I don't think I've touched it for 3 weeks or so. I've only got up to Monaco season 1 too.

 

What makes me laugh is the threads on Steam and Reddit with feature requests for the patches, as if they are going to drop in things like sprint races (although I believe there is a mod for this), different engine manufacturers, contracts overhaul, etc., etc...they'll be lucky if they can get the simulation working correctly.

From the looks of it, the changes they have made to tyre wear seems to be directly connected to how much a driver is pushing and not tyre temp etc. It's so weird.

 

Or, not weird. It's just surprisingly that so much seems to be hard-coded and not somewhat simulated!

Been a while without an update here, but Epic Games are offering F1 Manager 24 free for the next week.

Likely to be the last in the series and does have a lot more going for it than 22 & 23, such as create a team.  Recommend it's picked up under that offer.

 

Note: Hearing some regions are not part of the offer, but as I understand it, UK & USA are in it.

And if you did get it for free, and even if you didn't there's what appears to be a final update from Frontier today to allow almost wholesale customization to the race schedule and teams/drivers in other words it sounds as if you can basically create every single season fresh each year if that's your jam.  EA/Codemasters take note. 

 

Obviously doesn't bode well for a future game, but it's sounding like one hell of a way to go out.

Haven't downloaded it myself yet to fully see what it does but social posts seem positive.  Really do recommend it - I believe it's on 50% off on Xbox right now.
