F1 2024 Game Review! Another epic failure by EA/Codemasters

Image
Why F1 2024 Is Not Worth Your Money – A Review When EA bought Codemasters, many fans, myself included, approached it with cautious optimism. Sure, there were sceptics, but there was hope that EA’s resources could elevate the F1 franchise. Unfortunately, even optimism has its limits, and for me—and many others—that breaking point has arrived. Ironically, this feels fitting given the “Breaking Point” story mode introduced in EA’s first F1 game, F1 2021 . Back in 2021, I rated F1 21 13.5 points out of 30 in my grading system, which ranges from A-F. Today, I’m going to put F1 2024 under the same scrutiny and explain why it simply isn’t worth parting with £50 or more of your hard-earned money. Scoring System  A** 25-30 B** 20-24 C** 15-19 D** 10-14 E** 5-9 C** 0-4 Career Mode: 2 out of 5 While there’s been a slight improvement in career mode this year, it’s far from revolutionary. As F1 YouTuber Tom97 pointed out, the career mode feels lifeless after just two seasons. You get ...

Three things we learned in Miami 2023? Is this the end of the road for Charles Leclerc???

​ So not a lot really again, the wasn’t much drama as races go and for a street track again surprisingly boring race, no safety cars, no drama be that negative or positive and ultimately the hardly anything I can say. I guess most things that could take was off track this weekend as that’s where most the action occurred. Miami gimmicks! Look Miami since it’s introduction to the F1 calendar has been known to be very gimmicky and ultimately this years event didn’t fail but with all of that the reaction from a large part of the fan base certainly online appear to take negative to that and even I didn’t like the pre race presentation ceremony! It felt like a cheapened version of what we saw from Austin Texas all those years ago in 2017. But the 2017 one was actually pretty good and was solid but this was a bit poorly presented to us. I know someone who actually  went to this years MiamiGP and I have heard the take on the event itself and way I imagine personally Miami it’s more on...

Why Lewis didn’t deserve the 2021 Championship despite Michael Masi so-called ‘ERROR’ ???

Image
​ Now we’re two months on from the AbuDhabiGP controversy and two months later in this article/blog I’ll explain or try to at least explain why I think Hamilton didn’t deserve to become champion.   Now look I’m not going to try to underplay what Hamilton’s achieved during last season but what I am going to do is explain why Max deserved it more then Lewis.  Now both throughout the 2021 season both drove fantastically and arguably 2021 was the BEST F1 championship battle for many of years but the question is who deserved it more Max or Lewis? Now many fans will argue with Masi removal from F1 race director would indicate that FIA admitting to Masi not applying the rules correctly and whilst this is one possible conclusion however it could also be argued considering they’re offering him a new role would suggest otherwise and more of a protection around Masi and the Race Director role.  But in my opinion at least regardless whether or not Masi is removed or sacked doesn’t ma...

Who are the winners and losers from testing in Bahrain 2021? Are Mercedes-powered cars in trouble?

Who are the winners and losers from testing in Bahrain 2021? Are Mercedes-powered cars in trouble? I don't think Mercedes are in trouble but I am really hopeful that Honda can be a serious threat this year. At the end of the morning session Perez was well-up and in the closing minutes Hamilton, Tzunoda and Max were on C5, C5 and C4 tyres respectively, trying to do a hot lap. The importance of the times set will be played down of course with teams saying we drove with so and so many kgs of fuel, but in the end Honda was quicker with Max just ahead of Tsunoda. The afternoon/evening session was quicker because the circumstances were better, so the times of this morning are low on the chart. There were problems for Aston Martin (engine/turbo) which kept the car in the pits. Honda are the winners, I think, Haas and Aston Martin were not. Especially Aston Martin disappointed because more was expected from them with all the new Mercedes technology (rear suspension) and momentum from last ...
