F1 24 Review - Here's Why I Recommend F1 23

[@hmp01]

11:05 nobody is forcing them to have a yearly release, just like nobody is forcing us to buy it. not an excuse

[@meneermankepoot]

Id argue its indirectly forcing us to buy the new game, especially if youre playing with friends or are in a league. You either buy the game and suck it up, or you distance yourself from your friends

[@hmp01]

@blackness. the point is it is not an excuse why the game sucks, or why there was not a lot changed. and just because other sports games do it does not make it right. you charge full price for 90% of the same assets the game before, its literally a money cheat, and you all accept it, its because of ppl like you who think its not a big deal

[@Seeker57]

Yeah if it’s bad, just don’t buy it. They could make a better game but it just doesn’t seem like they care enough.

[@definitely_not_nick41]

I think F1 themselves want to see a yearly release

More content creators need to stop being afraid of calling out the Devs for this heap of junk. it's blatantly obvious when some content creators/esports drivers are being very cautious or diplomatic with how things are said as to not offend the Devs. Cheers for the honest review Alex, it reinforces my decision to not waste £70...

Am I the only one who thinks that updating circuits should not be considered a feature?

[@debidi1461]

it's the minimum

[@CB21001]

Its almost insulting that updates to a few tracks was marketed as a major feature. If they'd fully remodelled all the circuits, that might be fair enough. Otherwise circuit updates should be as expected as car updates/driver changes each year.

[@Benjamas-]

They need to have laser scans of every track, then they update them as necessary, they should also put in some historic tracks. There is so much they could do to improve the game

I recommend f1 23 because I already own it and I don’t want to purchase an expensive update.

Issue with career mode is that secret meetings are triggered randomly whether your performance is good or bad. On top of this, the base rating they give and retain seat rating is very hard to get below which means you get dnf half season and still retain your seat. In race objectives are hit or miss but it’s a good addition which can be refined a bit, I would have liked to control my teammates race not in a direct way but like defend or push just like they had in grid games when my recognition is higher than them in that team For handling, I have to say to each their own because some players liked it like me but some don’t but the main issue that Codemasters have never considered after 2022 regulations is that tire temps and tire wear. What I meant is in real life drivers actually struggle to get the temp up and in F1 games it’s complete opposite, in games softs are almost unusable due to their insane tire overheating. It would be better if tires are severely cold than what it is right now My last and final main issue which is inherent AI acceleration out of slow speed corners and it’s specifically an issue since F1 22 which they patched but still is an issue on some corners because even in 23 for last straight of Miami, it was impossible to get anywhere close to AI out of that corner due to their insane traction out of corner. AI should have realistic tire temps and tire wear as well because it’s like players are the only ones at disadvantage with every new tire wear and temps update. AI straight line speed is even more recognizable when your car is maxed out and you see your teammate just zoom past you on straight and yes I do use custom setups which are not making that big of a difference and even if I do put lower wings than usual than again I am the one at disadvantage on tire wear which AI just doesn’t seem to have With that said, they still atleast put an effort to add this many features in driver career so props to that considering it was a normal occurrence till F1 2021 and stopped since then. But they have to do the testing of their games all the way through, it’s not like just add a feature then a play a race or two and everything’s good, please do some extensive testing on game for AI behaviours from season to season but I guess it’s too much to ask from EA because they just want to rush their games for bigger profits instead of giving developers enough time to make game playable

​@@JAKATA69Cars feel lighter (maybe too light) on corner entry, especially high speed corners. Never before have I had to correct for overturning at entry as much as I've already have in this game. I've had to do that more than all the F1 games I've played combined (since F1 2018). In all previous games I've been able to be quite smooth with the steering at entry. That says a lot. However, this might be more realistic, I don't know. I'm not an F1 driver.

@@nicolasoliveira4903 on release I think it felt better as a “whole car” but the steering lock and all that jazz felt funky as fug. I think the steering feels a touch better now however slower speed corners like at Monaco …yuck! Terrible… it over all feels more tangible to me than last year

[@giogamer4825]

I was someone who bought them yearly since 2015, but the past years I did notice that allot of bugs were never looked at by Codemasters or were not important enough to fix in the first 9 months, before abandon it again for the new game. But I also notice that the visuals are on the max on Ps5, so from this year I dicide to skip some years and enjoy other race games on my DD+ base. When Codemasters brings back some real good upgrade, I will join again

RaceLabs is the one showing his throttle and brake inputs over the halo and maybe his heartrate monitor.

tbh I find this year's handling the best i've ever driven, but it probably might be just because it suits my driving style pretty much perfectly either way from my experience I'd give this year's game so far an 8/10 only issue I'd say is the AI quali vs race pace which idk how it's so much more different as they feel so slow in quali but in race I have to turn them down so I can have an enjoyable race

i just hate driving in career and seeing a williams fight for the lead just because of the drs trains. i get so frustrated that sometimes, the leader to last is just one train of drs what means for me overtaking is impossible. also the ai looks to have more top speed then me even though i run a already lower downforce setup which i dont like. i also hate that when you crash, you just start flying or something else happens. it is just not realistic

Serious question, is it hard to have updated tracks? Weird to advertise your game like: Spa, Jeddah, Qatar, and Silverstone are updated! So basically those 4 tracks and however many that haven't been updated in real life are correct, but every track, such as Canada, that has gotten updates but is completely different in the game is wrong. Basically advertising the fact that only a couple tracks are correct.

I’ve only just started playing and have no idea what it was like at launch, but I must say I am enjoying it more than last year for a few reasons. I think the braking is much easier to find the limit of, I feel I can control lock ups to the very limit. Also, and this might have been unique to me as my wheel setup but in ‘23, every time I restarted a session, force feedback would “switch off”. This meant I either had to drive with no feedback or close the game and load back in! It happened from day one until present day and I never was able to find a solution. I only logged a fraction of the playtime I should have as it was literally game breaking for me, I got totally sick of it in the end!

The funny thing is, the "new" career features fundamentally made no difference compare to the past games since many of them are currently either completely bugged or literally just a fake layer of paint over the old system. Not to mention all those new physics models with tire temp or whatever still doesn't effect AI, Ai in its current form simply does not support any physics or driving model that is more "complicated" than what F1 2020 had. F1 24 is not worth it, just go back to either 23 (at least the driving physic is enjoyable) or F1 2020 (which is still the best title overall).

I don't get your "yearly series" argument. Yes, nobody is forcing me to buy a new game every year... but is that actually true? Every year, all the streamers and all the players move on to the next game, so the ones who stay on the previous one are abandoned. That pretty much forces the rest to move on as well. You had a good point but turned it into the wrong argument. Yes, this game has a lot of features and there's not much to change just one year after the last game, that's why there's so few new features. But that doesn't mean the blame is on the player for expecting more changes. The blame is on the publisher for publishing a new game every year that is barely any different from the last one. If you don't have new features that are worth 70 dollars, then just don't release a new game that's a copy-paste of the previous one for 70 dollars for goodness sake! Just do a patch where you add new liveries and new driver line-ups, that's really all you need. Perhaps if a new track gets added to the calendar you can sell it as a DLC or something. But aside from that there's no reason why this and any other sports game for that matter should be a yearly series. That's just greed from EA, because they know the players WILL pay those 70 dollars for the exact same game they already bought 5 times before. Personally I will only be buying a new F1 game when new regulations are introduced, so F1 26 will be my next purchase. Otherwise there is absolutely no point in buying a new game. F1 23 works and plays just fine, there are some annoying bugs but I doubt Codemasters will fix those even in the following games. I won't be paying 70 dollars for a patch that pretends to be a new game.

[@kevinmbangue9226]

I only play driver career and my team no online no time trial so I’m at least fine

[@itsgee1327]

f1 23 is looking good right now

[@Blackout201_]

The problem with Codemasters "copy & paste" is that bugs that have been fixed are regularly reappearing, new and obvious bugs are added to it and most new features don't work as they should despite the fact that the majority of the game they're working on isn't new. Their games are incredibly bad given that they have this solid "copy paste" foundation to improve on. You would expect the games to get bigger and better every year, with old, working and well balanced features to remain in the game but thats not the case with EA and Codemasters.

[@Phoenix84]

Apart from the bugs and the handling and the AI etc. etc. The one big they missed from Driver Career is Interviews. Also, they copied and pasted my team, just like they did driver career

[@Armyvet0310]

I think the handling got worse for controller. I was on medium traction control and after the update I had to switch to full.

[@001sander2]

Got last year's version free with PlayStation+ , I'll be playing that! Just wish the FFB was better.

[@returntolifeband]

I genuinely haven't been able to play the game since launch. I'm on a 13900k, 4090, 64gb ram and installed on an ssd, and the game will crash for absolutely no reason *constantly*. Like I somehow managed to make it through a full 50% race in australia without a crash, but every other track it's in the ballpark of 5-10 laps. Hell, I even crashed in china while editing my setup.

[@debidi1461]

Check you computer. I have 32GB of RAM, a GTX 1060 6GB from 2016 and it runs fine on mid to high settings

[@returntolifeband]

@@debidi1461 Thank you for your contribution I will pass on this information to the hundreds of other people in the steam reviews and ea forums complaining about the same issue. Strange that my PC can run 2023 with no problems.

[@ricardoh8952]

I'm still playing F1 23. 💯 The best handling.

[@gdpiscopo]

LMAO they use actual driver audio: Max "YOU GAVE ME THIS SHIT STRATEGY. I'M JUST TRYING TO SALVAGE WHATS LEFT!!"

[@Tommy__C_G]

Love the honesty 👍🏼

[@madgamer574]

This game feels so bad it’s unreal, especially compared to 23. I literally cannot comprehend how in a whole year of development, all that team managed to do is remove features and make the game drive like mario kart. I was a league racer in f1 23 and I really enjoyed it but I’m seriously considering moving away to iRacing after I played this absolute disaster

[@Little_metal_facts]

Finally after two reinstalls i have my bug with ers resolved. For me ers deployed very slowly even with overtake. Now its good Edit: nvm its back

[@kyperactive]

EA shills in shambles after this one 😭

[@citedcanvas85]

Forced to get the 24 game coz the 23 game wont work with my current wheel which is very very very annoying

[@JA3726-t1b]

I am still playing f1 23 still not sure buy f124 it yet

[@MrMW2nd]

i like what they did with the tires and ers. everything else about f1 24 is junk. im glad i skipped out on this. all the pre release trailers and teasers indicated a 70 dollar dlc, which is 70 dollars more than i was willing to pay for it

[@claytonroitenberg1935]

They need to put in real driver contracts with some better negotiating code too like every other sports game already has and they have it for hundreds of players F1 can’t do 20 drivers.. cmon it make career mode 5x better by just that alone

[@Peter.Fields.]

I have f1 2024, there’s a lot a things wrong that make me laughed a lot, it was a print, and it was raining, the strategy was soft for all, I had to do a lap and change tires for the green one, and no one did it, I was first in no time 🤯 Also I had a mechanical issue and instead of the typical failures, it said that someone had an issue, I dropped out obviously, and I was 8th …..

[@Lubmachine1]

Personally I dont touch any of the fluffy modes like career, story mode, R&D etc etc all I want is to race in GRAND PRIX mode and to emulate a grand prix weekend. Nothing in 24 makes me want to buy it at all. On PC I already have the 2024 liveries thanks to the modding community and to pay $100 here in Australia for what I consider to be a "patch"...NOPE I'm sticking with 23..it has everything I need in an F1 game.

[@smasher2265]

the problem is the pricing, no one can say to me that this game is worth more than zelda tears of the kingdom, xenoblade chronicles 3, persona 3R and I can go on on and on and on, this game should be priced no more than 30$ per year, thats why I stopped buying this game on 2020 and currently playing f1 23 via gamepass, the game is just not worth the price

[@2010macad]

Thanks you just saved me £70 😁 Got F1 23 free on PSN 👍🏻

[@DavidKebrich]

Don't know about the people out there, but I personally never touch the single Player. I just wanna race people out there. I don't need the other stuff.

[@jumbojimbo706]

I aint gonna lie... I much prefer this game to f1 23 for VR gameplay. it seems to run smoother, and the handling just feels a bit better when it's tighter for VR. It's fun, despite not being realistic, but I'm not an F1 driver lol
