Is F1 eSports dead?
I notice the F1 esports tab is not present in F1 22. Is the series finished? Is Jarno, Marcel, Brendon etc out of work? Maybe it was a flop. Anyone got any info?. EDIT: I thank the Gods of Death an...

Maybe the F1 esports was removed to make way for the new F1 life.
I think it was a good decision. I hope I can get a toaster soon.
I'm being serious!
How many new esports players have their been in the past few years?, considering the current e-sports players all get advance copies of the game before anyone else.
This year for example most of the top names had 30-60hrs on F1 22 before it even released. Talk about a competitive advantage
Hi @FG44141
I sometimes think the game was built for them. Same ol faces, Their only saving grace is they have good expensive wheels. If all pad users had the good stuff, Jarno wouldn't be top 1%, most likely top 100%.
- @ALittleTiger7 and that is how Fanatec sells their products, the belief that we'd be just as good if we had their STUFF.
And it works you cant buy their products cause they're ALL sold out except the most expensive.
Jarno IS the top dog and the one to beat and imo only Freddy R really stands a chance.- Hello again @BadMayh3m,
I watched Jarno in some youtube vids. In his career in Canada he is oversteering on the exits. He is correcting it a lot. He is not comfortable. He is at the game since June, he hasn't got it down yet. He is finding it hard to get the throttle application correct exiting slow and fast corners.
Brendon Leigh seems in good control.
Lucas Blakely has gas in the tank. From what I witnessed I see him has the main threat to Jarno, not unless Jarno is sandbagging his true performance.
The pressure must be immense on them.
Imagine sitting on your bum all day getting paid to play your favourite game.

Sadly FG44141, In my opinion, there is no competitive edge because there is no competition. Same old faces all the time.
We pay, they play.
We buy the game, they get it free.
We buy the Fanatec products, they get them free.
We watch F1 eSports, they hit us with advertisements.
If they have an issue with the game, its immediately addressed whilst others get left in the lurch.
Hopefully EA can put their heel on this nonsense, Codemasters certainly did not.
It fills me with much joy and hope to see the F1 eSports scam tab removed from the game.
May it never darken our tabs again. If that eSports tab was removed to make way for the
new F1 life tab, I truly feel we got a great deal.

Why the bitterness towards e-sports drivers?
It's always the same drivers because they're the best at the game. Kinda like real F1. Teams want the best exposure possible, and you don't get that by hiring someone who's 0.3 seconds off the pace, an absolute mile in e-sports terms.
And there is a lot of competition, literally anyone can qualify if good enough.
I agree with the different builds - we are treated like 2nd class citizens whilst paying for the game. We are the reason they have a game to sell in the first place, so, if anything, we should get it first.
This year has proven that the beta was a good thing - I'm sure EA strolled in with arrogance and said "Right, here's how it's gonna be, no beta!", and assumed everything will be just fine. Basically, paying customers have become the beta testers. There are bugs every year, but this year is next level.

I don't really have bitterness towards eSports drivers, that would incite emotion which I don't have for any of the participants. To be honest I could care less
about them. Same goes for the real F1 teams and drivers.
Why such bitterness towards EA?
I require some kind of proof in regards to your claim that EA strolled in with arrogance and said "Rights, here's how its gonna be, no beta". Proof or retract?
Bugs everywhere? That would be the studio's fault, in this case its Codemasters. By your claims in regards to "bugs everywhere", then obviously the beta was a waste of resources and time.
I sympathise with people who have ingame problems/issues, but my game seems ok. If all reported bugs and issues are true, and sales are slumping because of lazy development, I'd imagine EA would probably do a studio cull. I'd imagine Lee Mather would be looked at.
