    Poorly optimized code - screen tearing and frame drop in most 30fps sequences outside races, and graphics aren't even impressive - people models often looks like something from a PS3 game. Game is also littered with micro-transactions and is constantly pushing the player to buy a VIP pass. Disgusting!
    I'm done with the F1 franchise which look more and more like FIFA cash-grab.

    Game is unfinished. Audiobugs, Broken AI, Broken Handling and a battlepass because u need to buy liverys for myteam career. There are no voice control for jeff on ps5 and xbox series x, codemasters says because of technical limitations. But f1 2020 voice commands work on new gen. A complete **** for on ps5 for every f1 fan and lover.

    Os oponentes controlados pela inteligência artificial são totalmente previsíveis, nunca saem da pista ou cometem acidentes, isso torna o jogo chato e previsível...

    Niestety gra ma pełno błędów z poprzednich części, brakuje torów, brakuje poprawy kilku torów, gra warta może 100 zł / 25 USD DLC the game. Wielki breaking point niestety nic nie wart przez liniowość i dalej nie ma torów z sezonu 2020

    Totally broken story mode, Chapter 12 forces me to pit over and over. Unacceptable.

    Changed my review, full of bugs I can't get past the Russian circuit. Huge dissappointment of a game, if not for the bugs a 10 but alas...

    I would love to rate this game higher but I can't due to the fact that you can't complete a race on multiplayer (litrally near impossible) because there's a 90% chance that someone will ram you off the track at the first corner and if somehow your still going by the second pray to our Lord jesus christ for the blessing

Only the problem with CM for years is still that they add nonsense to this thing like a story mode, while their online design is just horrendous. In this time 2022 it's unheard of that desync happens, lobby design is a nightmare, they add filters but they don't even work for assists, this online part is even so bad that complete leagues HAD TO BE CANCELLED! When the community found out that Esports drivers even got their own "version" of the game with a different handing model the community was disgusted to say the least. And here comes the MOST IMPORTANT issue at hand. The behaviour of CM towards their community, the biggest fans of the sport, is just disgusting, disgraceful, and an absolute joke. Serious issues like XBOX series X SHUTTING DOWN thanks to their crap design is still present almost a year after release. Patches come almost not, and if they come they "fix" things which aren't important! This shows the incompetence of CM of not beeing able to fix REAL issues, and try to fool us by patching other things, which in turn BREAK other aspects like Force Feedback, or Ai suddenly not moving when on slow lap, weird behaviour over curbstones. The person who "designed" the online lobbies isn't much better. There are 2! ONLY 2! important assists which are important to diffentiate a lobby, and that is Traction Control and ABS, the rest people without assists don't care about. But somehow in lobbies it shows: ASSIST RESTRICTION: HIGH, and when you enter the lobby it says full TC and ABS and the rest off like PIT ASSIST and DRS ASSISTS! I mean, those shouldn't even count towards making the difference. Assist restrictions should only change when the 2 MAIN assists change. And when it says HIGH, it should mean that ABS and TC are OFF. but the locig within CM has amazed me year after year. It's getting worse with the year, and this year they advertised the NEXT GEN version, well, on PS5 it doesn't feel next gen in what way soever. Loading takes ages, still screen tearing like all years, and I can keep going. They still use their EGO engine, i guess they call it that because of their own EGO, becuase they DON'T LISTEN to their community, they IGNORE the community, transparancy is nowhere to be found, even problems from the BETA are still present while even adddressed by the community, but that's too hard too code out I think. There are a lot of people at CM who don't take responsability for their failures, tell the prettiest lies about versions beeing 2 years in development while it's just a polished up 2 year previous version with even the same bugs as that 2 year old version. CM fails year after year, releases broken games, it's a disgrace to the have the official F1 license, because it doesn;t represent the greatest sport on earth in any way. EVEN THE TRACKS ARE OLD, TERRIBLE DESIGNED, OLD LAYOUTS, AND THEY REFUSE TO LASER SCAN! How on earth can this have an OFFICIAL license when EVERYTHING IS OUT OF DATE!? Their EGO engine is so old, it can't possibly handle the NEXT GEN consolse, and that shows by the crap design of their NEXT GEN version. CM must be stopped by being able to release these failures year after year and scamming people in paying full price for a broken piece of **** which they are unable to fix. F1 has to cancel the license immediately, and get a studio which is capable of designing something that IS ACTUALLY DECENT, stable, has good online lobby design, stable connections, and so on and so on.

    This is and has been a disgrace to the F1 sport and title for many years now AND IT HAS TO STOP! And for anyone who doesn't believe these FACTS, just go to their forums https://forums.codemasters.com/forum/140-report-an-issue/

    They let you fill out meters long forms, spend tons of time in reporting an issue which won't even be adressed or fixed because they don;t know HOW. Completely oblivious people over there.

    And I hope with all my heart and love for this sport, that F1 finally sees what a joke CM is and how they damage the sport with these things and their behaviour towards the community, THE FANS OF F1, and immediately take away the license.

    Codemasters has had more than enough tries and possibilities to make something good, but it has gone for bad to worse. And I fear for the 2022 edition with the new rules and their outdated EGO and EGO engine.

    F1 unworthy!    … Expand

    It just gets worse with every patch. Cars feel completely undrivable if you have it set to any level of difficulty with assistance turned down. I feel like I was once again molested by EA and I really don't get off on it anymore...EA takes games and create garbage. Good job.

    F1 2021 arrives with a tank full of emotions and dramatic moments. The story campaign grabs the heart, the rest of the game keeps the high standard we already know.

    F1 2021 surpasses its predecessor again and, along with the career co-op mode, makes a fantastic racing game likewise for beginners and experts.

    F1 2021 is one of the best F1 games to date, with a fun little story mode in the form of Braking Point, also presenting a great co-op driving career mode, and marking the return of the extremely detailed and fun My Team mode. The only drawbacks it has are its severely smaller amount of content than the 2020 edition, and occasional server problems.
