So no more champions mode at all?

Well, I'd interpret it this way, too.

In my opinion, that's a GREAT decision. That mode added nothing to the game really. It was just like the YDT, once you've completed it, there's no incentive to play it again.

Is Career mode still 5-7 seasons long? Because that not long enough especially if start with Caterham or Marussia.

In my opinion, that's a GREAT decision. That mode added nothing to the game really. It was just like the YDT, once you've completed it, there's no incentive to play it again.

I liked the idea of a scenario and a set of goals to accomplish during the race instead of a simple "finish on at least Xth place". The problem was - there just wasn't enough of them. This game mode had LOADS of potential. Just imagine what it would be like, if you could create scenarios like that on your own (your choice of weather, tires, cars and their order on the track).

Classic - without Senna / Prost / Hunt / Lauda - No SENNA?!?! Come on Codemasters, poor decision

 

[Reanimocio]

It's hardly a decision. I imagine F1 is a licensing nightmare, I'm pretty sure whatever is in the game is pretty much all they could put their hands on.

Classic edition and classic tracks
mid session saves (can save after I finish practice and qualy and do the race another day)
GP mode: World Championship mode for the full F1 2013 Championship to drive as one of the F1 drivers)
No P1 and P2
No podium celebration (how come Pro Cycling Manager 2013 can have podium celebrations and their game is made by a much smaller company with a much smaller budget compared to Codemasters, but F1 2013 won't have it?)
No formation lap (not a big deal breaker, but I can't imagine it would be that difficult to add)
Nice new in-game menus

All in all, I'll stick to playing PCM 2013 for now and I'll probably get the NASCAR 2013 game. But F1 2013 I'll wait on for some reports from guys who play the game as to whether I'll purchase it or not.

Actually you've always been able to do that from F1 2010 to 12. I guess they mean you will now be able to save mid-race.

About Senna.... his familly tried to built a game on his career.... dont know what happen with this project, but if its actually in progress.... surely the right of Senna wont be sell for an other game

 

[ParkYongLee]

Wasn't Reiza Studios holding the rights for Senna currently? I think so.

 

[Graham Laing]

Reiza are working on Senna : The Game

 

[Redvaliant]

Interesting to see Andretti and Fittipaldi in the list. Andretti drove for Lotus in 1980, Alfa in 81 and Ferrari in 82, so ok, maybe it's the 82 Ferrari. But Fittipaldi drove for Lotus in the early 70s and for the Fittipaldi team in 1980...so wtf?
Maybe there is a 1970s Lotus included.

Dingle Dell..... love that corner lol

I hope it's the pre-1995 version, it is just much superior racing track and since it is a video game safety is not really an issue.

Since Jerez would be available it would be cool the game to feature some kind of pre-season testing there but sadly, it's a long shot.
