The best thing about this installment? YeahWithout a doubt the highest point of this new F1 installment is the career mode, This renewed mode has many positive things in terms of the development and growth of your driver and car.

For the first time your character comes to life off the trackalthough certain structures from past installments are maintained, new cinematics are added that allow the saga to be renewed, also adding aspects such as a letter of evaluation as a pilot (similar to those of EA Sports FC), which directly affects how you manage your career as a professional, affecting, for example, what type of offers you receive and you can even secretly negotiate with other teams in the middle of the season. Hello Hamilton?Besides that all this is accompanied with entertaining clips videos that give a less robotic touch to the delivery and more of a story.

Separate point, the large number of pilots that you can use in this modefrom all drivers on the current F1 and F2 gridstill character created by yourself And till motorsport legends as Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna, among many others.

The driving, the big “but” of this delivery:

F1 24 becomes a game of contrast at this point, since, Perhaps the only criticism of this title came from this new way of driving -vital if it is a driving game-, being the pilots “pro” who mostly showed their discontent with the new way of driving, due to change to the system Dynamic Handling.

While this format promised to make F1 24 an experience closer to reality, with the approval of even Max Verstappen, The truth is that there has been a consensus that it has not been completely achieved, largely due to certain details such as the excessive grip in the cars-especially on the front of cars-, making it almost impossible for a vehicle to leave the tracks.

And whether this was his own decision or not, some say that the “F1” title would seek to become more of a title “Arcadian” what a racing simulator -, without a doubt, Improvements in this aspect are expected in the coming months, in order to achieve a perfect balance between new and old players of the franchiseespecially after the great driving experience achieved in the 2023 edition, which made it one of the best-made racing simulation games to date.

Added to this are some “bugs” or errors regarding driving in the rain, errors that will still have to be improved in the future.

Anyway, and looking at it from the side as a new playerthis new way of handling is undoubtedly a great attraction for them, since we can see greater dynamics during racesreturning somewhat to the roots of entertain the user and not to be a professional competition title.

To this, We add a much more intelligent and quite brave AIoften making overtakes to the limit that make it a very entertaining game and different from what we were used to.

In summary, is F1 24 recommended? Yeah, Without a doubt, this new installment is recommended for Formula 1 lovers to experience all the details of what it means to compete in a GP.or drive a motorsports legend.

Also, It is an ideal game for those who want to enter the world of racing video games and especially F1.

Well, The recommendation is that you wait for a future update that will arrive in this installment of Codemasters and EA Sportsbut without a doubt, do not miss “F1 24” for any reason, since this title is the beginning of a new era in simulation motorsports.
