Upgrades in the Off Season

Recommended Posts

7 upgrades at once after Abu Dhabi?

Maybe off topic, but I still don't quite get why people hoard resource points to use only at the end of the season (or at any other time, for that matter). It's not like they build up interest, i.e. the more you have, the more you can get. The only logical thing for me, is to put my mind on an upgrade I want, and then purchase it as soon as I get enough points for it.

Otherwise, you spend 5+ races without an upgrade you could have had already, with no perceived benefit of delaying it.

Yeah I completely get your point and I probably will do that from now on, However, because I'm in a Sauber, I've played the long game and done a load of durability upgrades and all the efficiency upgrades first so because I was quite far off the next quickest car anyway, so after doing a few upgrades normally I decided to just have one major upgrade at the end of the season.

I'm not convinced they fail at all during the off season. I've got quite the curse when it comes to upgrades failing but between Abu Dhabi and Melbourne I never had any fail at all after 5 seasons. I did 3-5 upgrades at once at the end of each season and never had any fail across any career save.
If people have had them fail then so be it (must be a much smaller chance), but from what I've seen, upgrades should be a guaranteed success between Abu and Melbourne.

I think i haven't had 1 fail in between either of my seasons and i don't think they should anyway. Its the whole off season to do the upgrades so there should be no excuse to get to Melbourne and have a failed part that you have to pay more for. Of course codeamateurs probably couldn't code that right so its easier for them to stick to the 'chance' code.
