I am majorly disappointed with this game and her are a few things why at the moment i am not feeling this game
first - this puncture bug is pathetic, you exit the pit lane and your tyre blows. This bug spoilt my opinion of the game before i even finished my first race
Second - of all the computer A.I is pathetic, for example at Barcelona the computer is near enough impossible to beat on even intermediate difficulty, also i have just done a race at barca and it started wet, which annoyed me straight away because it is very rarely raining for the spanish gp. 10 laps in an its still raining i am struggling in last, the computer pits in and comes out on hard slick tyres whilst it is chucking it down.
Thirdly - some of the assists are pointless and useless, i put the traction control assist on for a wet race and it made no difference what so ever and i tried it with it on in a dry race and again it made more or less no difference what so ever.
Forthly - the pit stop bug again another pathetic flaw, that these "game testers" should have picked up on before release
Fifth - the R & D bug- pathetic
Sixth - time trail mode - awful touch your wheel off the track by a small margin and you get not one but two laps scrapped
Seventh - the computer suffers no retirements what so ever, other than the occasional spin which is very rare anyway all 23 AI controlled cars will finish the race, unless you manage to smash into one and its race.
Eighth - The replay mode, awful. It gives you the chance with these "flashbacks" yet half the time you look on the reply it starts you off just as you start to lose the car, the length of the flashbacks is to short. It doesnt give you the option of any decent camera and angles, it doesnt let you look behind you car, you cant swap and look at another car.
Ninth - It is almost impossible to take the same line through a corner for anymore than 5 laps because you randomly spin off
Tenth - The penalty system again pathetic, the AI hits you and you get a warning and/ or a stupid penalty, earlier in a practice session i knocked my front wing off so i was pottering back to the pits, 3 cars passed me and then i get 3 warnings for illegal blocking and a 5 place grid drop, if i moved any further over i would have been driving on the grass.
I get the feeling that this game has been rushed into the shops and not looked at carefully, never have i found it so hard getting used to a F1 game, some of it may be down to my driving style, but the thing is im finding it so hard to keep up with the A.I even on intermediate difficulty that i am having to push so hard!
