It’s here that the career improvements are apparent.

Regardless of location, the player’s laptop becomes a gateway for various race or research and development tasks, including a vastly expanded upgrade system with a spider web of engine, chassis, reliability, or aerodynamic upgrades. Like last year, a fairly thin player progression system starts by introducing you to your agent, your team, and the various locales from which to look at the same laptop screen: hospitality, truck, office.

Career mode drivers can opt for Ferrari or Mercedes-AMG at the outset-no working your way up the ranks, pal.
It also does away with the merit-based team selection system that placed drivers in backmarkers or top-tier teams based on performance. For experienced players, few things were more annoying than waiting for the game to load, braking after a straightaway in 15 seconds, and waiting longer for the next task. The lost step of earning a team through training is good and bad. Small tutorial videos help inculcate some of the game’s newest features: added practice programs, a new start sequence, or tire management. Unlike previous years, which asked drivers to participate in a tutorial program that teaches skills like DRS, cornering, or overtaking, “F1 2017” throws users into the fire, feet first: pick your team and head to Australia. Think Kimi’s ice-cream first personality would fit you better? Think again.įrom there, the game steers most users directly toward Career mode, a 10-year window to race, win, and develop your own car into an F1 legend. Want your character to be as tall and lanky as Jean-Eric Vergne? Tough. Unlike other games that offer player selection, “F1 2017” won’t let drivers specify weight, reaction speed, age, or body type. 1 isn’t available at the outset (it must be earned with a championship win) nor No.

The game starts with a driver selection system that lets racers pick their avatar (male or, new for this year, female), helmet color, nationality, and number. “F1 2017” tries valiantly to keep the former and add more of the latter, but its success will be almost wholly based on how closely you follow the series. Codemasters’ annual series has outpaced the competition in speed, but lagged in substance. What it lacks is any drama associated with that speed: on- or off-track. Where “F1 2017” excels is in showcasing the speed and rapid-fire directional changes of a $15 million (or more) race car. Saying that, however, would require putting a finger on what the game does best, which isn’t easy to do for seasoned F1 fans. New (for some) Event and Championship modes offer varying degrees of race setups to subtly change the formula for casual racers, but neither deliver the depth and breadth of the Career mode, likely the game’s bread-and-butter mode for most owners.
The newest iteration melds the current world of Formula One techno-wizardry with a handful of classics and an emphasis on deeper career progression. MORE: "Dirt 4" first play review: dirty, demanding, and damn good fun
