The Driver Career Challenges Need an Overhaul or to be Abandoned Already.
While I seriously LOVE the idea of reliving some of those "Battles and Moments" from the past..
If you guys can't get the rights to older Car Models/Liveries, or Sounds from those years (Track Models would be INSANE as well.. but unrealistic to expect)...
Just don't. Stop. Please.
This new Alonso one just put what this Mode really is, on full display, front and center for the whole class to see.
EMPTY. USELESS. UNBELIEVABLY FORCED TO BE ADDED INTO THE GAME AS A FEATURE AT THE LAST MOMENT.
It is HEAVILY taking away from what should be an amazing "Throw Back" mode, where you can participate in older cars and races..
We should be getting some GEAR FROM THE DRIVER DURING THAT SEASON.. helmets, gloves, suits, ACTUAL liveries... ***JUST LIKE YOU GUYS DID WITH F1 23.***
But instead, we get;
Lazy.. Uninspired.. Unmemorable.. Unfulfilling rewards..
Please.
Please.
Make these changes, or abandon the mode altogether.
I'm not blaming the Dev Team for this either.
The fact this stuff was in LAST year, and disappeared this year, smells of a certain Studio known for this kind of thing and wanting those Micro Transactions by any means necessary.
I'm only recently into F1 as a Fan (I bought F1 22 in May '23, F1 23 in November '23), and Knowing what this game/series could EASILY be, and seeing where [Above Studio] is already driving it (which is into the ground as they always do) not even a full Calendar year later.. it's just so disheartening to watch.
I want this to be one of the best Licensed Racing franchises available (as a SINGLE series/sport focused game. Not like an iRacing or Forza, for example) and I wish I could help do that from here, but.. so many things fall on deaf ears these days.
