    As long as you’re willing to put up with its technical issues on Xbox One, F1 2017 is the best game in the series to date… even if it does stubbornly continue to use a numbering system that’s a year behind every other sporting series.

    Probably the best game I have owned - I love it.

    If you have not played F1 games before, this is one steep learning curve. The cars are very fast and twitchy. They overshoot corners, hit walls and crumble like paper mache on impact - but master the basics and you are in for one hell of a ride.

    The career mode makes you feel as if you are an aspiring F1 driver, trying to score his first points (assuming you start in a lower tier team) or turns up the pressure up out the gate to start racking up those wins should you have started with a top tier team.

    The only reason I dropped it one point is the engine wear is not very realistic and becomes costly in the season.

There is literally no part of the game, which is working flawlesly. But many of the bugs only shows if you will race more than 5 laps (so no casual gamers would find them).
    A short list of not fixed bugs after 4 months : Safety car has to be disabled, because there is many more problems with it like penalties for you, AI not aware of SC and is trying to overtake you and also crashing into you (no penalty for them). AI is crashing even into SC. AI is not getting upgrades, because AI doesn't know how to drive with them so CM didn't teach AI to drive (that's official CM statement). AI also doesn't know what tires should use and is coming to pits "every" lap to get new because weather is changing (so weather is bugged). Also penalties are not correctly counted, qualifying is not remembered to race, setups resets to default during race and many many many and many more bugs ...
    If you hoped, that all bugs are only in carreer, multiplayer gets worse too! SC is automatically disabled by game (so CM are aware of it, good to know), because known bugs above. But I've never seen that massive desynchronizations as is in this game !!! Last year the biggest problem were not synced starting lights, but now, there are situations where drivers are racing in two different races (or more - every player in his own)! Loosing connections, host migrations, unable to get into sessions it all was there for years and still not fixed and is much worse then any year before. The only hope is CM will come with dedicated servers next year, because multiplayer is totally broken.
    If there are any awards for the most broken game of the year, this is the winner! Don't buy this game or F1 2018, until the game is fixed - check forums after release ... and believe me, there is almost nothing they've fixed after release - all major bugs we've reported wasn't fixed to this day and it was the same with 2016. Don't buy this game.

My experience may also be skewed because i recently picked up a Logitech G920 set, but in any event, I’m really enjoying this latest edition of F1. The campaign runs similar to 2016, which is fine with me, but I’m really enjoying the special events (historical cars). Great graphics, great gameplay. I’ve yet to play online with others, so my review may change after that, but so far i haven’t had to deal with getting smashed into and spun out. Full Review »
