I have no idea how or why this has such good ratings, since people seem to compare it to F1 2017, a way better game with no **** like this one. Not only that, but they somehow managed to make it take 50GB of your storage AND it just crashes whenever it feels like it. I tried to make a setup for my controller were I changed just two buttons, and it crashed, Absolutely degusting. Just another Cash grab

The career mode (whether you choose traditional or my team) is unbelievable fun, engaging, and realistic. The graphics make the game look beautiful. The online while frustrating some times is still super fun with all of this contributing to major replayability. It makes it even better that unlike many sports games right now, F1 has few microtransactions, sure they exist but they’re 100% optional and usually just cosmetic easily beating out the **** shows such as Madden Ultimate Team, 2K park and myteam, etc

Been playing F1 games since PS2 and always thought F1 97 was the best fun. To be honest I haven't bought one for a few years as they were just the same; few tweaks here and there, better graphics but they soon became a bit samey. However, I liked the look and sound of this one so gave it a go. This game, imo, is a game-changer. It is so much fun to drive these cars now. The feel of the car without assists is just awesome, so easy to lock up wheels etc you really have to concentrate now. My main criticism has always been the AI. I play on console with joypad and always found the AI was either too easy or too difficult so soon became boring. The new slider (may have been in previously but new to me) means I can set the AI to realistic speeds. The Team owner/driver is amazing. I'm in a new team so set AI slider so that if I nail qualifying I will struggle to make Q2; as it should be. This means that as my car improves and so does my driving I can hopefully move up the grid. There is also so many things to adjust and tweak which really make a difference. For me this is by far the best racing sim I have played on console. If you like racing games and F1 this game is simply a must.

Latest F1 game is more than solid addition to the still growing family of racing games. F1 2020’s biggest strength is My Team mode, which allows you to run your own racing team from the manager’s perspective.

I was ecstatic as it was a feature the community had wanted for a long time. However despite the introduction of my team and the re-added Split-screen, not seen since F1 2013, the basic formula for the game has not changed since last years game which is both a good and bad thing.Let’s start with why it’s a good thing. F1 2019 is a stellar game, everything about it felt clean and polished, and 2020 is exactly the same the graphics are among some of the best racing graphics on console right now, the handling model is not to different, so it feels familiar to players like me, but it’s also not difficult to get to grips with.Getting to grips with this game is one of the big new features that Codemasters have pushed with the marketing for this game, the introduction of the casual race settings allows anyone to be able to jump onto the game and be able to stay on track and try to race with the AI, rather then immediately crashing at the first turn like in previous games, this feature won’t allow you to be able to go as fast as people who play with no assists but it’s a way to ease yourself into the experience without being overwhelmed.The other big feature, My Team has been where most of my time has been spent, the ability to make your own team is awesome and seeing it race with real F1 teams is a long awaited dream come true for many players. However off track is where my issues with this mode start to arise. Many parts of this mode feel like they have been copy and pasted from 2019, for example the R&D tree is identical and so are the post session interviews with Claire, and I get that they don’t want to change what isn’t broken, but after a few years of seeing the same things it becomes annoying more then becoming familiar. This a recurring theme with this years game its a lot of the same as 2019, there are new HUD displays and new look menus, which I like much more then 2019’s menu, but the annoying things are still there, like the wide range of multiplayer glitches, which include entering lobbies pressing ready up and nothing happening meaning you have to try and find a new lobby which is difficult enough as almost every lobby you are offered is full, and are never able to race cleanly because of that.The clean racing brings me to another point which has its pros and cons, The Podium Pass, which I really enjoyed when it comes to doing the solo and career features as it gives you a lot to focus on besides the normal weekend structure, which has rightly not changed as it is a great way to learn and speed up around a track over a weekend, and the rewards are great I changed my entire teams design to fit the livery I like the most, which I found through the podium pass. However my issue with the Podium Pass is that not everything can be done specifically by you and makes some challenges very unfair in the respect the for this current season as it wants you to have clean multiplayer races around the two new circuits that have been added for this year. However this isn’t something you can really control as you can try and be as clean as possible but that doesn’t stop someone from hitting you and the race being ruined.The additions that come with the Deluxe Schumacher Edition are nice but I don’t feel they are enough to justify the £65 price tag. Sure, you get 4 of Schumacher’s championship winning cars, one of which came with the standard 2019 game but all are incredibly hard to get to grips with, as well as the early access which I feel was the main draw to getting this edition as it allowed people to get ahead.Overall, this game is very good, the foundations it was built up from in last years game were great especially the feel on the track. The addition of My Team adds a new level of longevity to the game, however the bugs and annoyances of the previous game have not been improved upon which can be very frustrating as you progress and put more and more hours into the game.F1 2020: 8/10
