How to change difficulty mid season !? And how to skip practice sessions completely?

Recommended Posts

First, Great game. At least ,great driving. But the menus and forced choices are really annoying me. 1. I cannot turn off the practice sessions, I have to load them up first then skip them. What a total waste of time. Just let me turn them off !.......... 2. I can't seem to be able to change the AI difficulty level mid season, and no I am not on pro mode. The option is greyed out so I am stuck with AI that is too hard for me.......... 3. For gods sake just let us press a button to skip the cut scenes.......... 4. The car/engine upgrade system is fun, if you want to do it. And boring if you don't Just please have a totally automatic upgrade option. I don't mean press 'recommended upgrades' just a totally automatic system so I don't even have to go there........ 5. In short, this game is excellent when I'm actually racing. But it takes far to long to just get in a race due to the issues listed above......... P.s. This website is awful. your thread input system doesn't even recognise line breaks? I have to leave '.......' when I want a line break because cos pressing enter does nothing. It also took me ages to sign up due to it being very unresponsive. F1 2017 is GREAT racing though. I hope the issues can be resolved.

The issues you listed aren't really issues. They're there to immerse you into the world of F1. You can change the AI difficulty and practice sessions by pressing the pause button when loading into the career mode from the main menu. Not sure if you can turn off the practice sessions though, only change the length. You don't have to do the R&D, but you'd fall behind the other teams so your best bet is to either do the recommended upgrade or do it properly and improve areas of the car you think need improving. If you just want to enjoy the racing and not bother with these features, have you tried Grand Prix mode? You can customise each session for your liking, or just hop straight into a race.

Thanks very much for the tips. I pause the game, but still can't change the difficulty settings. Maybe I have to pause the game at EXACTLY the right moment to change the settings - to me that is an issue - bloody annoying. And not being able to skip the cut scenes, its damn annoying too. I wanted to do the career mode, and really think these options should be included in the game., It's very lame and frustrating to me. Still.. Great driving though.

yeah you have to do it while the track is loading on keyboard it's the Tab key to access the menu not sure about consoles or wheels or whatever

it's the loading screen from main-menu to the track or the loading screen between race-weekends(when you pressed "to next race" on the laptop).
