@Ultrasonic_77 Yeah for some reason all big review people claim that Braking Point is a big loss this year and missed by the fans.. They are probably gonna do this each year changing, one year Braking Point (2.0 then 3.0 etc.) will take the major time effort of the team and the next year the F1 Life updates will take the time😂

Lee Mather claims all the feedback for Braking Point was very positive in the video above...
- @Ultrasonic_77 Yeah.. Either people got super low standards on story modes or they were payed for ther feedback😂
A glance at the Codemasters forum from around launch time would show plenty of negative feedback!
I get that Codemasters like the idea and it may well have helped to attract new players (I've no idea) but to suggest Braking Point was universally popular is nonsense.
- @Ultrasonic_77 Yeah I think it was too easy even for hard mode.
- @Ultrasonic_77 Difficult to say based on these forums. Sometimes we seem to think us "hardcore fans" writing in forums represent the majority of players, but what do we know about all those millions (or whatever is the correct number of sold copies) of players and their opinions and feedback to Codies?

I agree this seems to be a trend in many things nowadays. New things all the time and losing interest quickly. Maybe Braking Point was perfect for these type of players?
My personal highlights:
- AI
- More realistic defending of the inside line
- Fixed the issues with high speed cornering
- Handling. Cars will bottom out if you try to straddle kerbs. This may potentially curb down the exploitative esports line
- Presentation. Fonts and graphics will be slightly revised and maybe closer to TV broadcast, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
- AI
