F1 2018 Career idea

Recommended Posts

What if they implemented the real life calendar? Time progression wise. So some races are back to back, others have that week gap, and between Hungary and Belgium you have the summer break. This could be really interesting with R&D. So say you buy an upgrade part sometime during the Spanish GP weekend and it says it will take two weeks, with the real time calendar you'd potentially get the part at Monaco rather than Canada. Kinda like how FIFA Career has its calendar.

And have the weeks in between where you do media requirements, fan base things, if you choose to do it, you gain reputation, if you choose not to do it, you aren't very popular

Exactly. And if F1 2018 has more classic cars the off weeks could be the perfect place for those invitational events.

Why don't you just turn off your console/pc? And let all the others play the game. The game has to be as free as possible

Yeah.. Am I reading this correctly? You want the races to be only available when the actual races are on?
I assume I have it wrong cause that would be crazy!! I wouldn't miss a real race for a player race.
However if its just general like NBA classic games used to be in calendar form playing day by day or skipping freely then I see no issue there except the game is already pretty well set up except for popularity in media events, that would be very welcome to include.

No no no, I don't mean the races when the real ones are on. I mean adding the weeks, days, and even the months. So in Career you do FP1 and FP2 on Friday, then sim to the next day and do FP3 and Quali on Saturday, and race on Sunday. Like I mentioned the FIFA Career, you can simulate days until the next race, or media event, classic event, et cetera. And if you bought an R&D upgrade during a race weekend and it's estimated delivery date was two weeks you'd get it in two weeks of the game time rather than two races. So if you bought a part during Spain you'd get the part at Monaco because that's two weeks later rather than getting the part at Canada which is two races, which is currently how 2017 has it. Sorry for the confusion

Why not have all circuits that codies have had since 2010 release on game, have career mode rotate calendar every season 
So 2018 calendar plus:

Nurburgring
Valencia Street Circuit
Buddh International Circuit
Korea International 
Istanbul Park
Sepang
Bahrain Endurance Layout
Silverstone (Pre Arena Layout)
