F1 2014 Japanese ver. Some reports!

[geminiSunrise 6]

(I will update this discussion.)

Hi,people.I live in Japan.And I bought F1 2014 for PS3.(I'm sorry that my English is not good enough. lol)

1.You can use flash back infinity!

2.Team tiers

Tier1:Mercedes,Red bull,Ferrari

Tier2:Williams,McLaren,Force India

Tier3:Toro rosso,Lotus,Sauber

Tier4:Marussia,Caterham

Usually Qualify Result

1st 2nd:Mercedes

3rd 4th 5th 6th:Red bull,Ferrari

7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th:Williams,McLaren,Force India

13th 14th:Toro rosso

15th 16th 17th 18th:Lotus Sauber

19th 20th:Bianchi Kobayashi

21th 22th:Chilton Ericsson

I think Williams ≒ 2013 Lotus.My first 100% race,Massa is 3rd place finish!

3.Difficulty reference(Australia)(AI pole position time)

Legend:1:27.3(One shot)

Expert:1:29.4(One shot)

My time(Mercedes):1:27.701 lol

My Time Trial time in F1 2013(Red bull):1:21.790

So,2014AI is faster than 2013AI.

4.No Safety car lap 1 too.

5.You can start career mode on all team!

6.You can't edit gear box.

7.Tyre wear is easier than F1 2013

For example, 2 stops default in australia.And it's easy.(100% distance)

But,I failed 1 stop strategy! lol

(50% distance,2 stops too.)

8.Fuel is harder than F1 2012＆2013.

9.No mistake AI.

1. Whatever
2. Awful, Merc should easily have their own tier and Ferrari shouldn't be a tier above Williams
3. Hard to get any reference from that without driving the game, pace in game doesn't match real life times 
4. Safety car in general is fucked so whatever
5. Already known 
Not really inspiring me but we'll see how it plays I guess

Did you play the game? Can you say something about tire wear? Is it the same as last year? 

[Restricted 1]

Thanks for the update. So you think Legend AI is faster than F1 2013?

Your english is good enough but what do you mean by the following:
"AI can't against tier,too!" ?

@Hatta

Is there any chance the tiers can be updated/patched? Like patching in an extra tier just for Mercedes.
Or move some stuff around: 
1. Mercedes
2. RBR, Ferrari, Williams
3. FI, Mclaren, TR
4. Sauber, Lotus, Caterham, Marussia

I thought I saw Williams in the top tier on that cz gameplay.

Dear,

6. So you cannot change the gearbox at the start of the season in career mode? And do you get to change it once throughout the season? Also in grand prix mode can you change the gears?

This would not matter much to me, as long as my topspeed is on par with my teammate. I've seen to often in the past that with default setup my topspeed was much lower as the AI. Even with editing the gears it was tough on some tracks. So with no option to edit gears, I pray CM have given the players a ratio so they can match the AI topspeeds with similar wing levels.

Just watched a few videos of online gameplay and you cant change your gears online, that is good as everyone will be equal but bad cause that means there will be no 360ks at monza, i hope for career they have made it like real life, where you set your gears like before the first practice session of the season which is melbourne and you can only change them once throughout the season, that would be realistic but not sure what codies have done
