F1 24 Frustrations

He also described a pointless multiplayer scenario.

Sorry, my intention was not to type "I'm criticizing that there are so many options for career modes", but rather "I'm not criticizing that there are so many options for career modes", and I forgot to type the "not".

So to make it clear, I don't think that all the different career modes and ways of playing the game are a bad thing, I think they're great for the people who have the time to dedicate to it and are passionate about it. 

Unfortunately, I lack that time and I may like racing, but I'm not passionate about it. That's why I want this to be fun more than anything, not keep hearing the guiding character in the game explain to me ten thousand things every time I go into a new area I hadn't seen before.

For example, another game from the same developer, Grid Legends, is great at this. The first time you launch it, it tells you a few things and drops you into a race. You just started a career but didn't really realize it. The race ends, you win, and shortly after, it takes you into another race. I did that on a Saturday after lunch and I got so hooked up that 2 or 3 hours later, and several races into the career, I had to stop it.  But with Grid Legends, you hit the ground running. When I finally stopped it, I realized that the resolution in the settings was 1920x1080, which was very surprising because it looked fantastic.

F1 24 starts at 1920 x 1080 but taking up that size at 100% in the top left quarter of the screen, showing the Windows GUI on the other three quarters. And it takes some hit and miss to get it to 4K full screen.

Then you get what probably amounts to several minutes of the guide telling you this and the other thing about career mode and so on.

There's a big difference there. If a person doesn't have all day long and just wants to play. Grid Legends allows you to start doing that right off the bat, while starting a career. But it doesn't tell you a thousand things just to get started. GL knows that it's a game.
