I don't hate F1Life I just think it's pointless as it stands and needs more. I have taken a couple of supercars for a drive, but again there's really no point and I never drove one since. I would like the focus to go back to striving to get into F1 over the seasons beginning with adding F3. You have to complete F3 at a competitive level to get into F2. Then have to prove yourself to even be considered for the bottom three F1 teams, unless joining up for a specific academy.
I know this isn't what most people would want in a game right? But it adds a challenge to getting into F1 itself in career mode and would be realistic and you would learn all the other stuff before even stepping into an F1 car. Not only do you need to be competitive in F3 and F2 but win enough points and F1 license points to continue in the game.
Think BIG, in the older versions at the start (before F2 became a thing, and a great idea) your manager could only come up with the bottom teams that showed interest in hiring you, to get to drive in the mid field or top you had to earn it, I would like this brought back. The game has become way too easy, you can choose to drive for Ferrari or Red Bull off the bat which is unrealistic.
Too much of a gimmick now, with a sims4 type gui and meaningless items to spend pitcoin and not enough Icons, liveries, helmets and attire. Custom animations, custom voice overs, a lack of voiced names and a lack of full driver choice for MyTeam, I want to see all the available drivers to choose from, not a default few selected for me. In F1 Manager 22 you have complete acces to view who is who, even if some are not available at that time.
A lot has been done to balance the game, I am loving the F2 right now but if you scrape through 3rd in the F2 championship, you don't get to drive a Ferrari right? You get an offer in a midfield or low field car with a Ferrari engine if you chose to join the academy, same with the other main teams. Do well in your first season, and you could get a seat in that Red car 😉
I just feel the challenge has gone over the years, I mean who would like something like this?
You cannot progress until you have risen in the field in F3 onto F2 to even be offered a seat in the lower, midfield F1 teams. Then have to prove yourself to get an offer in the top 5 to one day, eventually become world champion.
