Playing an F1 game is all about pretending to be an F1 driver – and usually realising how terrible you’d likely be if that dream somehow came true. In the realm of Career Mode, however, you can always be the uber-skilled lovechild of Ayton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton that you like to think of yourself as.
As part of a hands-off preview that saw us learn about the handling changes coming with EA Sports F1 24, we also got a rundown of the freshly revamped Career Mode it’ll feature. The big news? You’re no longer limited just to creating your own F1 legacy.
During the preview, Codemasters’ senior creative director Lee Mather and Casey Ringley – the latter of whom serves as both a senior game designer and vehicle handling lead on the game – outlined what’s gone into this year’s Career – which is the biggest overhaul of how the mode works in a good number of years.
