Those stupid driver transfers are back

Recommended Posts

PLEASE add the option to turn off the mid season transfers in My Team. I haven't bought the game yet, and I held off buying 2019 till these transfers were switch-off-able. Now I've read on the net that these mid season transfers are back in, with no option to switch them off.  I'm sorry, but it is NOT realistic and spoils the whole driver standings, to have sudden driver swaps mid season. They are NOT common in real F1, they are great for end of season, but they are NOT needed mid season. Fine, if some players want to switch it on, so be it, but please don't subject us all to it.

2020 is really looking good, and I was looking forward to buying it as soon as I got through more of my 2019 career, but I am now in no rush to buy it. I know just one customer is of no consequence to you, but if I don't post my feedback, then you'll never know.

You fixed it in 2019, just please fix it again in 2020. 😞

Well in normal career mode you can turn them on or off

At least that is something, but, if the 'no mid season transfers' option is not included in My Team, then that pretty much makes it the same as last year for me. I don't want the silly transfers, so I am back to the normal career.

I might as well carry on playing 2019 and not bother buying 2020.

@BarryBL I don't know if you are able to pass on suggestions, but I really hope this will get a mention with the devs. I was so pleased when they fixed this in 2019, but if the switchable option is not in My Team, then it's not a great choice. Please include 'end of season transfers only' option.

I agree and hate the driver moves the cpu generates it just destroys the grid. The best solution in my opinion would be a multiple option toggle like the one bellow.

Off/User/Strict/Normal

Off=No moves ever

User=User can change driver and manually change teams of all drivers

Strict=Only moves that meet strict requirements ensuring top rated drivers don’t move to team teams with low facility ratings and car performance. 

NormaL=Just a complete free for all anything can happen (What we have currently)

 

If we had this level of control the user could create their own grid and manually create their own changes or just let the cpu make more realistic changes/blow it up.

Or they could have left the option for mid season moves to be turned off like last year

Why remove the choice for the player!

This is hugely disappointing for me, I really wanted to start a My Team career, but at this point I'm not going to while the option to turn off driver transfers is unavailable.  I'll probably just stop playing for now, hopefully they can get this sorted out.  This is not the first discussion I've seen that had folks complaining about the inability to turn off driver moves.  I get that there needs to be a way to fill a seat if you hire someone from another team, but surely there's a better way than what we have currently.

I just don't understand what the folks at CM were thinking when they decided to give your 2nd driver a contract for less than a year. Why on earth would you want that? Gives us the option to sign a contract for multiple years, but always at least one year. If you want to get rid of the driver midway through the season, you pay the buy out fee. It is such a strange implementation of driver contracts and I just can't wrap my head around why this sort of things keep happening on the F1 games. 

Bugs are annoying, but at least you can say that they weren't aware of it, or have not yet found a solution to fix it. But these decisions are by design. It's a utterly stupid design and I think that Codemasters really dropped the ball here.
