These things must be in F1 24!

1. The base of the upgrade system is fine, although I would prefer the old tech tree visual better, they just need to work on the balancing. The issues are three-fold, teams can generally max out their cars in 2-3 seasons of a mode that supposed to last 10. The resets don't "hit hard enough which really I guess feeds back into the first issue. Then there's the hole driver performance boost thing (I forget what it's called in game) that basically gives everyone a +10 across the board so 2/3 of the grid ends up being like 95+ in all stats. If they re-balance the first two and get rid of the third it will be fine.

2. I don't know if licensing has anything to do with it or not but that's not the real reason either way... weather is. The game is pre-programmed with an expected rain ratio based on the track's location for the time of year the race is run. Also, there's the heat issue. You can't just drop one of the Middle Eastern races down into the calendar in July, Engines and tires would be exploding left and right.

3. I'm going to agree with this one. I've never liked Sprints in real life, and I dislike them in game even more.

4. We've been through this before, this is a licensing issue and they do have to change it whether you like it or not. As to why they deleted him entirely instead of just putting him in the driver pool I can't explain, but in this specific case I think it's fairly safe to say he's not getting a second shot.

5. People say a lot of things, doesn't mean any of them will come true. Personally, I would bet on Verstappen staying F1 longer than Hamilton, and Hamilton not getting another championship. Also, they've never shown any interest hard coding things into the game before, like we already know Hamilton is going to Ferrari next year, doubt that will be hard coded to happen in career mode. so why would they do this when it's pure speculation.

6. Personally, I would advise them just to get rid of F1 world, but base on the pre-order "poster" we got they seem to be doubling down on it so 😞\

7. Fine by me, but I don't know if they've been gone long enough to be considered "Icons".

8. I know I'm probably in the minority on this, but I'd rather they just get rid of mechanical failures entirely for both player and AI. The cars are reliable now, this isn't the 70's - 90's anymore where 1/3 of the field was lost to mechanical failure. Most DNF's now adays come from the driver error putting into the wall, and to your point, I don't have enough confidence in CM/ EA's coding the have a fair and balanced system regarding failures, so I'd rather just be able to disable it.

9. Interviews are novel at first, but there's only so many lines you can have recorded, and once you start seeing repeats you start figuring out the "correct" response and the whole thing just becomes a waste of time, there are better things to put resources into IMO.
