Okay, don't worry guys, there was a happy ending to it, as Lewis Hamilton placed 6th in the final race and left me with a 4 point gap to him.
I'm just happy that I was able to replicate the result of the first season of my very first My Team Career, and that was Lewis Hamilton winning the championship.
Still, the mechanic of getting engine failures needs to be reworked... Suggestion: Depending on the engine supplier's durability stat, the chance of getting engine failures should be reduced. So if you say go with Ferrari with a durability stat of 82, you have a way higher chance for a mechanical failure than with Mercedes, who have a durability stat of 100. Should depend on the supplier, just like in real life. I'm just saying Baku, where 4 Ferrari powered cars got an engine failure, among them both Ferraris.
The game is what it is and the Coders do their very best to replicate engine and team performance, also I doubt at this time that there probably will be no more major updates coming so the game is what it is at the moment.
If this game was to mirror real life then none of us would be able to drive these cars......just my opinion
Also, as a side note I strongly believe that EA should give this game an updated engine as the present one does not seem to be up to the task now
- Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@Antic3 Have to agree here.. The coders dont do their best to replicate team performance etc. just try to reach a fast and AI compatible "realism".. Like Aston Martin still has the worst aero ingame and is far from it IRL, RB more than 3-4 kph faster on the straight than Ferrari etc. they just have a different goal than true realism.. Also the coders have problems of everything needing to be allowed by higher authorities to make it into the game, even if something would be more realistic, if these authorities dont allow it the coders cant do it.
Secondly you get these things completely wrong.. Its not that hard driving a modern F1 car in a simulation/game.. Its common knowledge in the sim racing community that Codemasters games F1 cars are tougher to drive than the true sim racing games F1 cars - which iirc even real F1 drivers admitted.- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend
- Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@ScarDuck14 Thats not what im saying.. But driving a current F1 car at speed isnt as hard as a 1970s car IF we take out the muscle training to withstand the forces.. Which a game naturally does :P

You have probably seen the "Helmet Cam" during the F1 broadcast from time to time
Imagine if EA put that in the game as an option......wow
I have no idea how the real F1 drivers do that for an hour and a half..........and how do they spot the apexes with their head rattling around like that....just awesome- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@Antic3 Short story: back in the day I used to do a lot off track days. When I did Brands hatch. In my Audi RS4 (So fast road car) Turn 1 at brands you drop down hill. Done 100s off laps at Brands and I kid you not every time I dropped down the hill. The forces would make it feel like my brain would squash into the top off my skull.. didn’t hurt but felt very funky. I can just imagine how extreme it feels for F1 drivers
