I agree with some of the things said, the game is quite hard to get a grasp of, I've put everything at max ai wise and i'm doing career, 9th in Bahrain, last in melbourne, crashed in sepang, and a 4th in Shanghai, I was happy with my Lotus performance :Pkipi19
I just finished Bahrain, 1st place and pole position!
And yes, it was expert mode but with 20%.
I was also with Lotus.
I am quite disappointed with the game.
Seeing as no one reads the F1 2010 thread, Ill post here.
I bought F1 2010 for PS3 on Friday and was quite disappointed to see that the cars handled unrealistically, there was a trophy for online mode which will inevitably lead to dirty driving.
But I have only played the game for not long and will still find yet more disappointments.
I was also bitterly disappointed by the fact that the game only let the wheel turn 180 degrees lock to lock which is quite unrealistic.
I was highly anticipating the game but have been let down.
Formula One Championship Edition was released in 2006/2007 and this game doesn't even come close to it.
The only positive from this game is that it is a major step up from F1 2010.
As it was made by Code Masters, the paddock feels similar to DiRT 2's environment.
Will let you know more what I think of this game as I play it more.
It's also hard to moderate your throttle use around corners because it's either on or off (R1 for me). This results in me having to tap it in bursts rapidly.
I have to drive with the aids on because of this.
I will have to win one race with them off though for a trophy.Â
I love it! I can't believe how good it is. I think it's so much better than CE, and even though it is easy, I think the handling's great fun, but I use a Dualshock, not a wheel. It's not flawless, but it's nearly there imo.sambob530

I have chaanged my mind, and if there are still plans for some races count me in (again). Been playing it and once i finally managed to set the car up (3 Season career at Williams) have come 2nd, 1st, 2nd, and 5th in my first four races so must be doing something right, not saying I'll be all that fast but at least i should be able to (fingers crossed) keep the car on the track

dabest2500 - the thing to remember my friend is that whether a game is good or not is a completely subjective thing - just because a bunch of people who don't understand F1 and/or sim racing are saying bad things does NOT make it true!!!

I set myself up for that one didn't I :lol:

Ya some people might hate a game for reason X while other's love it for reason X. It's all about perspective and personal taste.

What do you think of the game?
It took me a bit to get used to the setup. In other sims, I would usually put my brake bias mainly up front but in this I did that and it didn't suit my driving style at all. So I was getting pissed :lol: Until I figured out to keep it neutral or slightly to the front or rear.
The rain is awesome, the AI is a lot of fun to dice with. Only thing that I don't like are the HUD, and the excessively/unfair strict penalty system. Granted I only got the game a few days ago. But overall I'm very pleased.

The penalty is quite annoying, I was in a Lotus and going 3 seconds quicker in the first sector in Malaysia when Senna blocked me! He blocked me throught 4 corners and when I touched him, I got a 5 place drop!
I think a lot of people on t'internet are judging it for what it's not: a hardcore simulator. Just see GS's own review, they complain about the lack of telemetry, which shows that they were in a sifferent mindset to the one Codemasters were expecting. It's supposed to be just right, according to Anthony Davidson, and I think they've succeeded.
On another point, did anyone notice that in the helmet bit, the last one is Anthony's helmet? Also, there's an option for GB or Scotland or Wales, and I presume one for England too. Weird or what?

Oh, was that Davidson's helmet?
Hmmm...
They should have an option to create your own helmet really.
I also noticed that there's no helmt for Finland...
Today I played F1 2010 and it was full of bugs.
I recorded a lap time of 1:21 in Malaysia :shock:
And a glitch in Spain cost me a win.
I started the race in 16th after I pushed so hard, but the Lotus just wouldn't go faster.
I finished the race 2nd...
What cost me first? The glitch that when an AI car spins, they teleport right in front of the pit entry, I didn't think much of it till he won the race 5 seconds ahead of me...
Who won Spain? Alonso of course, and now I have even more reason to hate him :P
I had that feeling in my last race. It was at Monaco I think and I pushed as hard as I could but finished last as the rest of the field got ahead of me after the pit stop window even though I was around 16th before the pits. Kind of frustrating. I like the game more than I did at first and will give it more time and Monaco is my worst track in terms of finishes and position I usually get there. However this just felt that bit odd that I was mixing it up with the cars around me but they suddenly managed to pull that gap back out.Garfield360UK
I really enjoyed Monaco, I could really push the car hard there.
But, what ruined it for me, three times, was that:
On the first time, The pit stop bug on lap 13/16 that made you get stuck.
On the second time, Webber not pitting which gave him a 20 second lead over me.
One the third time, Liuzzi and Kobayashi not pitting.
I think Webber didn't pit because I used a flash back, it was the final corner and I got a puncture for no reason, on my map it showed Webber driving into the pits, after using flash back, Webber no longer chose to drive into the pits.
I still need PSN addy's from Foo fighter, Yellerbelly, and leechan, if you are interested please post up your addy's :)
I shall be adding everyone a bit later tonight.

ADDED! WOO! Matchmaking doesn't seem to be working, or custom races, and I don't believe that there would be no games at all if about 100+ people still play Championship Edition EVERY DAY.

They probably moved to F1 2010.

Exactly my point, I can't get a game although there must be tons of people playing. I have 14 guys on my Friend list who bought F1 2010, most of which don't even like F1, so it must be my NAT type, I've encountered problems with it in the past.
By the way, are we gonna set a date for this? The Xbox one has chosen Friday the 5th of November now.
I can never predict it atm cus of my work rota being done every week for the following week, so I get very little notice as to what to do. I'll do my best to organise a friendly night soon.kipi19
Be warned, kipi19 somehow takes over your car and makes it get a puncture :P
I seem to be doing a little better, 8 races into a 3 season career and I am 3rd in the championship and just about to start qualifying for the European GP. There was one thing though that has really bugged me, and that was in Turkey.
It was pouring with rain during the race and I had problems keeping the car on the track, sometimes I would screw up and take too much kerb and spin, or aquaplane off, or hit another car as i'd brake but still slide into the other cars, yet I would be penalised for the slightest thing (bumping wheels, the slightest of touches on another car, etc), while the AI drivers could slide into me, completely miss a corner and take me out, etc and yet go unpunished. That being said it was fun to play as it was so challenging it just would have been so nice to race on a even playing field.
The more I play this the more I like it, I'm still struggling much of the time (although I did do my first P1 qualifier in Canada) but it is, as others have said, well worth the effort of learning the tracks and getting the car settings as you like them, now back to cutting into Vettel's lead .....OmenIWF
Yeah, Webber and Vettel competing for the top on my PS3. Got my first win in Turkey, and my first pole and overall fastest lap, and followed it with a repeat in Canada. I just find those tracks easy. Better than my worst result of the season, 11th on the grid in Spain and due to my uncompetitiveness in the dry there, 22nd at the end of the race!
I was wondering, if people wanted a small gathering on Tuesday night for a few short races, just to get a rough idea on how this will play out?
Let me know as soon as poss please.

So will I. Have been playing FIFA for 2 weeks though so may have to refresh my skills. Shouldn't be too much of a problem though :)
