Worst F1 Game Ever

I agree.  It's awful, the worst of the series due to the EA influence. F1 Life?  That was a cruel joke on their loyal F1 customers and the joke was no accident, it was by design like saying, "We are now EA Sports so here is (F1 Life) with microtransactions for good measure and you are going to like it, no love it! regardless if you never asked for it. 

I refunded the game a few days ago.  Now Iurking the boards looking to see if they fixed some issues with this current *.  But it doesn't look like nothing is going to be fixed soon since it is so bad with too many infested bugs.....SMH

For me I wouldn't say the worst F1 game ever since it has potential but it has definitely been one of the worst experiences so far. It's just all the issues they need to fix. Every game mode seems to have some huge issues. Career needs AI fixes like stupid overtake attempts, not overtaking when let through, too strong at starts and on cold tyres, safety cars not coming out which is my major problem, mehcanical failures need to be toned down as well. Multiplayer is unplayable, can't join, crashes, performance issues etc. Time trial laps don't save. 

At least we have F1 Life right? 🤔

@DavidF1GP The problem is that we as players do not always know and see everything. The lapped cars example you give. Yes, as a player I think it should change.

But what's going to happen with short races? Are we going to need 5 laps for SC in a 15 lap race? Is that what we want? I guess not. In a 100% race? Yes, I would. 50% race? Hmm, not so sure how that would work out with multiple SC. We already have races with more yellow track than green.

It's all about choices and making a game for different type of players.

I can't entirely agree with the sort of language regarding the complaints here. It's childish to blame and to force them to do that and that instead of making proposals in a polite way of talking. 

I'm wondering if you are talking to your neighbors, employees in stores/supermarkets or colleagues in the same way when something is not working. 

@zed08je0ot2vIt’s all about creativity. In short races like 3 / 5 laps SC should be turned off. 25% race distance is near a sprint race where a SC is possible. But is there a real chance being lapped in that short distance? Normally not. If so, where is the problem that the driver may unlap under Safety Car? I mean the main problem is, lapped cars in the way and it can ruin your race. Doesn’t matter if one lapped or more then one car. Your distance to the position you are fighting for is for a restart manipulated. Otherwise you are the lapped car and behind the leader who is following the safety car. You were fighting for points. P10 was not lapped by the leader before the SC. That means P10 are cruising a complete lap around the track and for the restart you are 1 lap behind because you will get a blue flag for P10. Race is over. And this is unbelievable crazy how they cannot change the official SC rule since 7 years!

It's not that they can not change it. You give some good solutions, but also introduce a few new holes in the story. In our league it happens pretty much every race that a driver gets lapped before 25% of a full race. Some damage lap 1, a spin lap 5 and the fastest drivers on the grid are already within 10/20 seconds depending on the track you're driving. 

In a 50% race which takes about 50 minutes on average a single SC can take up to 10 minutes, but they take 6 minutes on average. We have two SC a race (on average). That's 12 minutes and 25% of the race. With lapped cars getting a change of unlapping themselves we'll probably need the full 10 minutes to get back into racing. That's almost half the race behind a SC. 

A 25% race lasts around 30 minutes. With cars unlapping themselves you'd have 15 minutes of racing if you're lucky.

Now, I don't have the exact numbers and there are a lot of variables at play here, but we are already at the limit of SC in our league. Nobody wants longer SC. 

Are there solutions for every problem? Yes. But with every solution you'll create another problem for another situation or driver. We know Codemasters has discussed unlapping internally, but are divided on the subject. I think it was Barry who once said that in the old forum. It's not that they can not change it and it's not that they don't want to change it. It's just that they don't want to create new problems by solving one.

The problems with F1 22 are endless. On launch day, I started a My Team career, after I closed the app it took me 4 days to be able to load back in to it without the game crashing to desktop. Now I've actually managed to get back in, I have to suffer the atrocious AI, the handling which genuinely feels like the F2 cars from previous games, impossible practice programme objectives and frame rate drops.

The AI, I have played the last 3-4 titles on 102 AI, this year, the AI is so overpowered it's ridiculous. They've always been OP out of low speed traction corners (Canada T6 & 7, the Loop at Silverstone for example), but it's a whole new level this year. If it rains? Game over. They put the traction down and don't break traction once. I gradually lowered the AI difficulty from 102 to 91 for Miami and qualified P7 comfortably in the 4th fastest car and so I thought I'd found the right balance, then I get to the race and the AI are over a second a lap faster than me consistently. No tyre-temp or deg issues, just pure pace. On top of the traction issue, they seem to constantly have battery to run overtake permanently. Then when they do inevitably get close to you, they dive bomb you late, lock up and smash in to the side of you. 

Couple the AI being OP with the woeful handling model, the rear wing seemingly not existing - so much so that you have to run twice the wing angle you usually would (makes races fun with the AI being so OP in a straight line), the brakes seemingly being made of milk bottle tops regardless of pressure/ratio - and to make it even worse I play on a game pad (PS4), and the input delay for controllers on this game is biblical. It's borderline unplayable. Without 20 or more flashbacks I have no chance of finishing a race. That has never been the case, even when I first started playing F1 games (F1 2010). 

I haven't enjoyed this game so far, and unless the above issues get balanced I will be uninstalling.

I've been playing F1 since 2016 on PS4 The problems that are appearing right after EA's entry into the project are ridiculous, audio problems, bugs, not being able to accelerate because I'm driving on an apparently butter track, totally dark flashback screen.
The same thing will happen as Project Cars They will end the game and soon after that they will post something like that.
"we will not have more continuations of the project"
