F1 2023 Thoughts So Far
I am a big F1 fan and have played every game since 2013, some of which have been memorable and others...not so much. However, I have always continued to get the latest one as Codemasters always tried...
Codemasters did a poll within league racers last year to "improve the ingame league system". only about 10% of active league racers said they fully or casually use the ingame system. 80% said discord. So the actual usage of that mode seemed to be absoutely limited, especially since you cant apply steward penalties or revert other penalties.
It was known for over a year that EA declared war to the league racing community as they have no control over the potential revenue bigger leagues make. At the same time ingame league system was by far the least used mode. So for a long time it was knwon EA is goign to try and relaunch their own league systems, why they chose racenet for that nobody knows. they shouldve just stayed out of it completely.
Do you think everyone that played F1 voted on this poll? I had no idea there was even a poll about it. Don’t even follow codemasters or EA on social media like a huge amount of people I expect. This game is supposed to be catered for the casual gamer, who are the main purchasers of the game. That’s why there’s features like F1 world and breaking point and hot laps (which I think are all rubbish but they’re there for the casual gamer no doubt).
Without the ability for the casual gamer to play an on demand championship with a couple of mates alongside AI, in my opinion it makes this game totally pointless for me and thousands of others which is evident to see in many other threads on this site. I’ve also never used race net nor discord (what is discord 😂) to set anything up. Not all of us think we’re esports drivers and fill up a 20 person league and race at a set time each week…
