NO reason to buy F1 24 they say

Just pick up this one earlier, is F1 24 a bad buy? https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Game/comments/1d1tn0a/if_you_have_a_pc_there_is_no_reason_to_buy_f1_24/

I've bought the game every year since F1 2009/10 and used it exclusively for League Racing. I have to be honest, if I didn't run a league I would have probably skipped this year as I'm feeling a little ripped off having paid for the Champions Edition. It doesn't feel like value for money... There is less content than F1 23. Braking point removed, France removed, All livery and helmet customisation removed (just 1 of each available in the base game which is disgusting for a full priced game where customisation is a key part of a main game mode in MyTeam) Last year's F2 content (why do we need to wait 6 months for the current F2 content?) and finally a rather decent handling model that has been completely destroyed and replaced with the kind of handling from the mobile game. Codemasters/EA, this really needs to improve!!!! It's not a £39.99 game. You are charging players a hefty price tag for this and you need to deliver value for money!

If anyone is getting the game and wants to join a racing league then come check out SDG Racing League

I've gone back to F1 2020. Saw the gameplay and feedback from friends was enough to make it the first one I haven't bought, ever. I just kind of had a (late, I know) realisation that this series peaked in 2020, and after the EA acquisition it has just slowly gone downhill.

I've actually enjoyed it - and it has classic cars as well. And a half-baked Spa is much better than jammy handling and intolerable menus designed to coax people into purchasing unneccessary in-game items. Also, F1 2020 still had local pricing. I paid a quarter of the price for F1 2020 than F1 24 costs in my country - again, it was a better time for the franchise.
