F1 24 Review - Here's Why I Recommend F1 23

I've waited until the first patch for this review, but unfortunately I've still got some concerns...

My wheel is the Fanatec CSL DD Boost Kit, buy direct from Fanatec:

11:05 nobody is forcing them to have a yearly release, just like nobody is forcing us to buy it. not an excuse

Unequal equal cars is back now... Alpine seems to be a few tenths faster than the other cars.

I doubt they will but EA need to take note of this video. More content creators need to stop being afraid of calling out the Devs for this heap of junk. it's blatantly obvious when some content creators/esports drivers are being very cautious or diplomatic with how things are said as to not offend the Devs. Cheers for the honest review Alex, it reinforces my decision to not waste £70...

I don't expect EA to put the PC version of F1 23 on sale, they'll probably delist it in the upcoming months just like they did with previous F1 games.

Issue with career mode is that secret meetings are triggered randomly whether your performance is good or bad. On top of this, the base rating they give and retain seat rating is very hard to get below which means you get dnf half season and still retain your seat.

In race objectives are hit or miss but it’s a good addition which can be refined a bit, I would have liked to control my teammates race not in a direct way but like defend or push just like they had in grid games when my recognition is higher than them in that team

For handling, I have to say to each their own because some players liked it like me but some don’t but the main issue that Codemasters have never considered after 2022 regulations is that tire temps and tire wear.

What I meant is in real life drivers actually struggle to get the temp up and in F1 games it’s complete opposite, in games softs are almost unusable due to their insane tire overheating. It would be better if tires are severely cold than what it is right now

My last and final main issue which is inherent AI acceleration out of slow speed corners and it’s specifically an issue since F1 22 which they patched but still is an issue on some corners because even in 23 for last straight of Miami, it was impossible to get anywhere close to AI out of that corner due to their insane traction out of corner. AI should have realistic tire temps and tire wear as well because it’s like players are the only ones at disadvantage with every new tire wear and temps update. AI straight line speed is even more recognizable when your car is maxed out and you see your teammate just zoom past you on straight and yes I do use custom setups which are not making that big of a difference and even if I do put lower wings than usual than again I am the one at disadvantage on tire wear which AI just doesn’t seem to have

With that said, they still atleast put an effort to add this many features in driver career so props to that considering it was a normal occurrence till F1 2021 and stopped since then. But they have to do the testing of their games all the way through, it’s not like just add a feature then a play a race or two and everything’s good, please do some extensive testing on game for AI behaviours from season to season but I guess it’s too much to ask from EA because they just want to rush their games for bigger profits instead of giving developers enough time to make game playable

I was someone who bought them yearly since 2015, but the past years I did notice that allot of bugs were never looked at by Codemasters or were not important enough to fix in the first 9 months, before abandon it again for the new game. But I also notice that the visuals are on the max on Ps5, so from this year I dicide to skip some years and enjoy other race games on my DD+ base. When Codemasters brings back some real good upgrade, I will join again

[Seeker]

I recommend f1 23 because I already own it and I don’t want to purchase an expensive update.

[Dunky]

Codemasters really need to drop these youtube influences. They're not helping making the game better.

[gamingtype]

Am I the only one who thinks that updating circuits should not be considered a feature?

[miniphoenixgaming]

If you're buying F1 24 purely for driver career mode i would wait till the next patch because of the amount of bugs Including pace stat glitch which basically makes it pointless to play at this stage. Wet qualis where ai set times on slicks so you're on pole by 7 seconds

[erikgaede]

After playing F1 24, I was nowhere near able to be competitive in F1 23 again, there is no way to go back

[slaphead]

This is the first one I haven't bought on launch since 2018 - I'm so glad I didn't.

[Scarduck]

Nice video Alex… Especially raising that the Ai don’t have temp issues. Been a pet hate for years. So many people don’t realise the handicap they face

[LIKE-oqxw]

First you push for a handling update that you like and called even better then F1 23 and now you tell us i recommend F1 23 instead of 24 :P

[ZKN]

One thing they need to add is wing level changes for fronts during red flags and team audio when theres yellows and red flags from real comms

[AcerSense]

Seeing the title alone, im glad picking F1 23 due to sales, it was worth it i guess

[freelunch]

wow there's a lot of cool features in career I'd like to try it sucks that the rest is such a mixed bag

[MXCars-m]

i just hate driving in career and seeing a williams fight for the lead just because of the drs trains. i get so frustrated that sometimes, the leader to last is just one train of drs what means for me overtaking is impossible. also the ai looks to have more top speed then me even though i run a already lower downforce setup which i dont like. i also hate that when you crash, you just start flying or something else happens. it is just not realistic

[jebstalp]

Good video. I think I'll stick to F1 20
One thing I always wondered is what app are you using for telemetry?
Like the OSD. Do you have a video about it or plan on doing one?

[shedz]

Haven't got a new f1 game since the first breaking point. Won't be buying another copy until my team is updated as that's the main mode I enjoy.
