Question about F1 2024

Will the F1 2024 release restore multiplayer leagues with AI drivers?

Hey there,
We've only had an "announcement trailer". A teaser. The game reveal will only happen in April. But even then, that sort of functionality will most likely only be confirmed by the community themselves or by reviewers once the review embargo ends.
And unless they tease a "revamped multiplayer" or something along those lines come April, I would not expect any significant change unfortunately.

I'm sure you are correct. It's too bad we are having to wait for the community to discover what F1 2024 will and won't do. Many others and myself will forgo purchase until the early adopters confirm what is in the game. Without multiplayer leagues with ai, I will not purchase the game no matter how many liveries and helmet designs they dangle. It is such a pity. Codemasters does so well capturing the ambiance of F1. It is far more exciting than the sterile environment of iRacing, which I may have to move to. If only Codemasters wouldn't take one step back for every one they take forward.

I don't intend to put Codemasters down. After using iRacing, I now recognize how many good things they do with mimicking the F1 racing experience. In that, they have done a great job and deserve maximum credit. Here's hoping that they have restored or will restore the leagues with ai. Then, I can purchase and go back to my friends' league of no cheaters, courtesy, and fun (We are all in our 70's so it is fun to have ai to beat in addition to ourselves.).

To be fair we have so far only had the announcement trailer. Based on past years I expect we will still be rather lacking in details when more info. does come out but we haven't got there yet. It only matters for people who want to pre-order of course. So long as large numbers of people continue to pre-order regardless there is limited incentive for EA/Codemasters to change their approach...

(Whilst not as old as yourself I remember the days before widespread pre-ordering, and across the whole games industry I think it is the single worst 'innovation' from a game-players perspective. I'm sure games would be less buggy at launch if this weren't a thing.)

I would like to thank all of you for your gracious deference. You, like me, will be startled the first time someone calls you "sir" in public. Happily, age isn't necessarily maturity and I haven't aged out of computer games and sims. I still believe in fun and I hope all of you will enjoy the same as you get on in years. Any way good luck and good racing.
