I would say there is a overlap when you play MT so I guess it could be useful.
These things could still be turned off for those who are not bothered, one switch in setting might do it 😉 - JebeFIN2 years agoSeasoned Adventurer@iiKIDOi I'm so agree about this.. I don't know anyone who wanted F1 World.. OR EVEN SOFAS!! It's about racing not stupid things

Hard agree.
Complete waste of a mode that results in the main mode having no improvements yet again.
Then to top it all off they can't even make it work properly so it's just a joke to be honest.

I agree. When the game first came out I was thinking to myself OK, this is kind of a cool mode. Different races, challenges etc but now it's just as repetitive and boring as the rest of the game.
Run the same 5 lap races over, and over again to earn car upgrades that are only used within the mode of the game that lets you run 5 lap races, with the odd 25% and 25% thrown in. What's the point?
Now look at Season 3 of podium pass. There's no useful items. Everything in it is geared towards F1 World. No liveries. No suits, helmets, gloves etc. Nothing that actually provides you any benefit whatsoever outside of the game.
I've hit the games expiration date far sooner in F1 23 than I ever have. It's flat out boring. Braking Point is what it is... one play through and done. F1 world is repetitive and boring and not worthy of the grind. Career/My team is as boring and stale as it's been the last 5 years.
Then top all of that off with the fact it still looks like it was developed for last gen hardware and it's pretty easy to just walk away from F123 already. I think the thought was this mode would help with replay-ability, but it's far too stale and repetitive like every other mode in the game at this point.

@iiKIDOiWell, sorry to disappoint you, but a big group of people love the F1 World. Career is always the same. What do you want ? You start in a team, and try to get World CHampion. When you are, why continue?
F1World bring fun challenges, like the onse that you need to be faster then Leclerc, Verstappen, Albon etc. You realy need to push yourself, learn setups, etc.
Give it a serious try. Since I'm doing the challenges in F1 World, I don;t play the career mode anymore.You're kind of identifying the problem here but you just aren't recognizing it. Career mode is always the same because they've done NOTHING to improve it over the years. The things they have done were just ha baked. Driver market for example. The system used for drivrers to change teams isn't based on any sort of logic, randomness, or story developed through your career. It simply matches team rating with driver rating. The teams themselves can't progress either because they're locked to be destined to finish in the same order they start due to the development caps. There should be ZERO development cap on any team. It should only be capped by maxing out every upgrade. But if every team is fully developed in all R&D parts they should end up on equal footing. That's just not the case. A fully developed Haas against a fully developed Red Bull will still be Haas even when maxed out because of the caps.
All they have to do is make a real living, breathing career mode. Remove the developmental caps, make R&D mean more and more involved, improve the driver market logic so it's not just tied to team/driver ranks, Allow the F2 drivers in the game to have their ratings progress, and current (old age) drivers regress so teams have to dip into the F2 pool. Then allow for created/generic drivers to come into the F2 pool as the career mode progresses over the seasons. There needs to be more living, breathing elements added to to mode to make it feel fresh. Allow for hiring of team members, creating a "free agent" market of sorts. Require the development of team members. Think... takign the logic behind F1 world and applying it to career but in a less arcade type of way.
Honestly, if you merged parts of F1 world into career mode and then tailored it similar to how F1 Manager does it you're eliminating the boring repetitiveness that is the current career mode. So now you need to hire and upgrade a R&D team, a strategist, a team principal, pit members, mechanics etc. You have to then use R&D points earned in the career mode to upgrade them along with your car. Your marketing team, and strategy team, and engineers can set goals for you to meet during practice sessions, qualifying, race etc that earns you rewards to help improve these departments. Similar to how goals work in F1 world now.
Career is boring and dead because that's how they've left it for all these years in favor of braking point, f1 life, F1 world etc. etc. RAther than developing new modes to grab cash develop the modes people WANT to play. People want to play career, there's just no incentive to because it's so stale. However I understand the need to monetize the game to an extent, but if you're able to sit down and develop this type of progression/upgrade system for a pointless mode like F1 world, why can't the dev team sit down and implement these same types of ideas into Career and just modified to a way that fits the long term mode.

Improve on the core modes year on year. Majority of us who buy F1 buy it solely to race F1 cars against other F1 cars and drivers that represent real life. Or to race each other in F1 cars. The demographic of this game as far as I can tell are older educated professional types (I’m just old) where we’d like to see exactly as you said… where looter shooter mechanics only really appeal to a minority of us.
Then the biggest flaw I see in F1 world is the fact you are pretty much driving the same car. Compared to other racing games that have hundreds.
I get they look for big exciting new modes because if they just concentrate on the core modes they will get criticised for not adding anything new. But my answer would be F1 pushes forward every year. But at its core it’s still the same as it was from its very first race. Like F1. The developers want to push the game forward to the limits off what is possible 😂👍 - s00zster2 years agoRising Ace@ScarDuck14 I've been saying/moaning since 2020, especially since the lockdown streams and the influx of a younger audience, it's all about the Drive to Survive / Twitch generation now, especially with the move to EA. It's the gaming equivalent of a sugar rush, capitalizing on a younger userbase's insatiable need for "more stuff", all at the expense of their parents wallets.
Although it still confounds me as to the thought process behind sofas and the like in F1 22. I will never understand where they were coming from with that one.
Old fogies like us, meanwhile, are stuck with the same thing for the past 4 years. No improvements, no ideas, despite us giving plenty of suggestions when they present us with a forum for them.
Although, quite ironically, I am happy that with the latest patch, I can finally have Jarno Opmeer in MyTeam (albeit with nerfed attributes until they're fixed), and finally have him continue his real life racing career. 😁 - Capi64SR2 years agoNew Adventurer@Raymond-Smits totally agree, ive fun playing it
