Re: Possible setting to switch off R&D completely?

@Meza994 maybe start off every season cars performance could be nerfed.

Or maybe R&D upgrades can only be used for a set amount off races. Some last longer than others depending on the parts. Once you’ve completed set races for part. You lose it and would require you to upgrade it again if you wanted it.

So over the course off Ten seasons your car performance level will not just increase but decrease during the season: It it was well mapped out where certain upgrades worked better with others. I think it would add a better layer to long term thinking. Rather than just upgrading what’s next without thought.

Would obviously then keep the cars pace in check.

Then You would never have all ai teams in the silly situation off maxing out and being equal performance🤷‍♂️

However proper thought and attention to detail would have to go into this to work and not just scripted. So progression was organic for both Ai and human teams. So won’t make it in the game even if this is the best idea in the world ever.

    @ScarDuck14 Its an interesting idea but a certain progression is needed for many players to feel like they achieved something.. And would take a lot of work to balance things properly haha but its a neat idea and for sure would be fun..

    I personally prefer the way of resetting at a random occassion - like a real regulation change, so all teams start around 3/4 to 1/3 and can spend resources for the reg change to start better than absolute 0 in the next season... Would still allow progress and shake up the field a lot but that would also take quite a lot of AI training..

    Anyway the career modes have a lot of potential!

    @Meza994 But no Appetite to explore that potential. Which is sad as they only really need more depth(Nothing extreme that needs micro managing) and immersion(I see people post they like and they and want that).

    Must admit I’d prefer better and more variations with the race intros

    And it’s F1 having detailed information on every track. So it points you in the right direction when setting up the car would be nice. And a interactive engineer to help with setups

    @ScarDuck14 Agreed except for micro managing the car setup is a must😝

    I honestly didnt listen to the race intros for a long time haha partly because i dont do career mode seriously and partly because its always the same..

    We could go on with this list of things that COULD be improved forever haha
