F1 2015 Career Mode Play As Yourself

Recommended Posts

In the F1 2015 Career Mode, can you play as yourself over multiple seasons like in past F1 games or you have to play with an existing real world driver (for one season)?

No you can't play as your self. the only thing you can do is play as a driver already part of F1. I am sure the standard Codemasters excuse will be a license issue.

That doesn't make sense, you don't need a license to play as yourself. Though I don't have too much faith in the Devs myself.

In this case, they've said it's because it would break the immersion of all the driver-specific commentary and cutscenes they've made. Would've been nice if they'd left that decision up to us, but there you go.

I wish that i had read this before buying the 2015 game. If i had known that they'd taken off Career Mode, i wouldnt have bought it!  A real shame. The game just isnt as good as the previous PS3 version without Career Mode.....

Actually codemasters never gave a reason other than they are working on it for next season. The reason you gave is just what random people and a couple youtubers have speculated.

Statements on this thread won't change a thing, try looking on some mature threads and see what's being said about the game.

I'm pretty sure it was said by either @justbiglee or @Britpoint in response to a question a few months back -- on here in the long announcement thread I think, but it may have been in one of their interviews on the web.
