Word on the street is all thumbs up for Autosport . . . no negative reports from those playing.

However, shortcomings, if there are any, will take a little while to emerge . . .

at the moment everything seems positive but because only the US guys have access to it for now it's still early days. We have to wait until after the game has gone worldwide  before we can fully judge whether it's a success or failure. I'm leaning towards success at the moment but as I said it's still early days.

I bought it.

Only cost me £19.90 to pre order the black edition so I thought for that money I can't really go wrong.

So hopefully I should be playing it on Friday. Codemasters better have delivered the goods this time.

Agreed, best wait until worldwide pings and UK (for eg) super-slow broadband takes effect... i'm astonished at the fibre down/up speeds the majority of games players in the US seem to have as an affordable standard.  But yes, sounds very positive so far if it holds weight for the rest of the globe.

@RobertKNL Ik heb er ook totaal geen problemen mee dat hij hier paar dagen later pas beschikbaar komt, hier ook een zeer mooie timing met projecten

It's not as bad as it used to be though. My parents' village are getting fiber this winter - and they live in the literal middle of nowhere! Up/download speeds aren't so important anyway - it's the latency. Can have 5 gigabit upload speed but it won't do you any good for online play if it takes the packets a second to reach the server host :P

Agreed my download speed isn't lightening quick but I also think it depends on the day as sometimes it's fast sometimes it's not. But I don't generally download things too often only DLC or 1 or 2 games I happen to have bought on download like the Fifa's. Althoygh with Fifa 15 I'm going with a discversion this time seeing as they're giving the PC version the Ignite engine that's being used on the PS4 XB1 systems which they didn't do last year.
