Personal Career - Avatar and Number the only choices?

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!

In the announcement there was a talk about "Selecting your own avatar and picking a number". Do you think we´ll have the opportunity to select our own name, nationality and whatsoever?
Or might that be a hint that the number and the looks are the only thing we can choose?

In career mode you race as yourself! So means, you'll be using your name and nationality together with your chosen number! Maybe they have something more to it. :)

That would be awesome! I mean in F1 2010 they managed to impliment the same feature. 
Is there an interview where they´re saying this? :smile:

Sadly nope! But career mode throughout the F1 games except 2015 has this feature though. With you playing as yourself, carrying your own nationality. But that depends what name and nationality you give your profile though.

yes in career mode you race as yourself with your own name number and everything the Avatar is basically your representation within the game. Think of it like Bioware's games Mass Effect and Dragon Age where you create your own hero and you make the choices as to what mission to do next and how to best resolve that mission but the figure you see on screen is you right? Well basically this is what the Avatar is. I don't think they'll go as far as to give us a character creation screen and all that like Bioware do, but it's basically the same idea. We'll likely just get to pick from a set of pre made characters that CM have made available.

No offence to you but what a great way to dumb a game down and waste time, sounds like all the development for this years game has been wasted catering to teenage kids, no wonder the game looks and sounds exactly the same as last year.

I don't consider it dumbed down at all it sounds like CM have put in a lot of time and resources into making  2016 a great game. Whilst I'm not interested in multiplayer from a single player perspective it sounds like the perfect game to me.

I don't know if some of you guys mean to mention the fact we can create our avatar, like facial representation not just number and helmet.  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KYar2wJYZs - but you can

well given it didn't in 2015 it just had the champagne spraying music but it's possible they may have changed that for this year I don't know.

Well i have the feeling that the career mode will be well done by cm, so much more detail to career mode expected so it would be a big dissapointed if after 4/5 seasons i have my first podium and it will be a celebration so simpel as in championship mode in 2015.

It certainly sounds like that CM have put a lot of effort into the new career mode but even if they stick with the champagne music it's still enough but like you I hope they go for the national anthem as well as you celebrate your win. I'm just not expecting the podium to be much different from 2015's with the exception that your avatar will be up there representing you when you get there

Yup, I don't need the national anthem but would be a nice touch. The podium celebration doesn't necessarily need to change. My avatar on the podium will do just fine.

Glad they brought back that Live the life atmosphere from 2010.

Will the name on the car be changed and will numbers on other parts of the car be changed? (on Toro Rosso a small part on the sides has numbers)

Yes it will I believe it'll have both your name and whatever number you choose at the start of career mode on your car plus whatever your avatar is driving it and such in cutscenes.

What about on the racing suits? Going to look odd on the podium otherwise!

Yes I'd imagine it'll be on your racing overalls as well.
