    FIFA/PES thread

    yeah I tend to tweak the settings up if I end up with a season where I've won everything too. When I have a season where I've not won anything then I tend to turn it back down if I have an inbetween season then I stay where I am. Good fun though

    Still racing F1 2011 but...

    Unfortunately we don't kinow much about F1 2014 yet other than the fact there will be one as CM| have yet to share any details I think they're focused on getting Grid Autosport done first before directing their attention F1's way

    Flashbacks......AGAIN

    You may well be onto something here Loggy maybe what we need is maybe having a kind of half sand half situation where some will allow those that haven't got the idea yet to still race with flashbacks and for those that don't feel they need them can go onto the alternative ones just prompt the player to select which group they wish to join before going in. Don't know if it woulfd be done but it could be a halfway house measure that would suit everyone

    F1 2013 Complete Edition question

    well you can race the 2013 classic cars around Spa just select Spa as your track Thx. Guess I spent so much time in the Williams round Imola I didn't try hard enough to find out  :D yeah because you can race the 2013 cars round the classic tracks as well it's quite good fun tbh I get more fun racing the classic cars personally than the 2013 ones both are good though

    Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco 2014

    2/0 != 1... Technically, Bianchi has infinite times more points than Maldonado! All we need now is points for Chilton!  Does anyone see Sauber getting 9th back? Not without some luck, IMO, their driver line-up is appalling! Also, these titles are quite funny... Rosberg - "We're always friends" Hamilton - "We're not friends" Game on! Rosberg in the driving seat! Chilton doesn't need points, the fact that he's finished every F1 race he's done makes him better than Maldonado :p  excellent point :p

    Looking Good Codemasters

    Flashbacks......AGAIN

    I think it's done this way for ease of use though experienced players know what options to select for them  so they know where to go in the menu's to select what they want new players don't have that experience yet and need to learn their way around and this takes time. Making thing easier to learn at first in my opinion leads to a general better gaming experience I think and that is what CM are aiming for I think in the longer term

    I just generally prefer his commentating style over Martin's is all I think both are good commentators but it's just a preference

    Flashbacks......AGAIN

    Thing is, you do have the option of turning off flashbacks in the custom, so why is this such an issue ? The odds are that if you are a good racer you won't be wanting to race with people who would want to use flashbacks anyway, so moving into a custom allows you to filter those people out. Different people learn in different ways. Some want to bash their head against a wall until the wall breaks (you and me) others want less stick and more carrot. Remember they are supposed to be having fun, and what is fun varies from person to person. By allowing flashbacks you stand a chance of keeping learners in the game and progressing them on to a stage where they might be good enough to race without flashbacks. And that's what everyone wants isn't it ? More people in the game. If flashbacks are not where the best racers are then eventually people wanting to continue will move from flashbacks to no flahsbacks as they become good enough to challenge the elite. In the meantime the custom helps you stop the newbies from ruining your race while they get up to speed. I agree @dirt3joe and exactly for that reason is why we have different lobbies and sections to try to cater for everybody's needs at least those that wish to play online newbie/experienced alike. I don't play online personally but that's my choice but I have watched others play online so I do know how the system works so I can still form an opinion based on my observations. My observations and comments CM are coming out with suggest to me that they want to create an atmosphere that is good for everyone whether they be casual players or experienced racers which is a good thing all round as it makes casuals feel welcome and earns CM more money from increased sales.. I know from experience that if I knew Grid was a full blown sim I would most certainly stay away as I generally have enough challenges in my life being disabled to frustrate myself to that extent. I also know I wouldn't be the only one that would do that and they know it would cost them a lot of respect as well as money if they chose to drop the flashback system given the way these games handle. I agree  that CM have made mistakes in previous years with their games but I don't think there is a games developer who hasn't at one point or another. In my opinion however I have to say the introduction of flashbacks in their games is not one of them.;

    yeah I watched ITV's coverage as well mostly because I prefer their commentary over Sky's I like watching the league games on Sky but Igenerally think BBC and ITV's commentary are  better but then that's my opinion

    Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco 2014

    Is that another reference to Germans? I was playing Wolfenstein last night, I wonder if Hamilton is tonight? :p @Lukedfrt Hells yea! On the first Q3 runs, he was 8 tenths faster! Pretty shocking really, but Kimi doesn't have a great Monaco record. 3 times on the podium including a win, every other season he's been no higher than 9th... wouldn't blame him if he was or any WW2 game :p

    I don't know about that I've found the game quite intriguing so far Real to melooked like they hada slight edge then all of a sudden Atletico popping one in the back of the net albeit with a bit of help from Casillas
