What about the engine sounds of the cars? Do they sound like their real life counterparts?

Picked this up at BB today after some trade-in goodness got me out the door for 17.50

But after playing the game for almost six hours, I'd gladly have paid pop for this. It's really damn good.

I've played this series every year, and this one is by far the most engaging and polished. The Career Mode is fantastic so far, and quite addictive with the whole earning points for R&D scheme. Everything counts, and it really gives a great point to Practice. This in turn means you'll practice more to run the gates, do the Tyre Challenge, and hit all of your team goals (not to mention the rival stuff!) and will make you more familiar with running the tracks, which will make for a better racing experience. Freakin' genius and well-implemented.

If you get this, just jump right in to Career mode and have fun. If you're brand new, watch all of the tutorials, and then run some time trials/practice laps and a couple of quick races before jumping in to Career so that you can set your assists and difficulty settings to what is good for you.

Usually Madden dominates my fall months once it hits (next week), as I'm a football-first guy. But this year, I feel certain F1 will get its time in.

Does this have local multiplayer?

I found out that if you push the tires too much, they will go flat. made for a terrible Chinese GP. that may have been in 15', but I didn't play it. Don't remember that happening to me in 14'.

also, the gap between Expert and Legend AI is ridiculous. I attempted to do Legend, but in the qualifying laps research thing, I was 2 seconds off the pace after 2 sectors, and that was with a great lap going for me.

I will need to get better and/or play around with custom setups first.

Got the PS4 version and so far I'm loving it and playing it non stop, lol. Great graphics with vivid colors, and the tracks are very detailed.

Bye

Glad to hear this is much improved. Always have loved this series even as a not huge F1 fan. I was going to wait on picking it up because Madden is playing so good this year for me early on, but reading here, I can't wait. I'm just going to get it lol

I don't watch the sport, either, but I love this game.

If you need to push yourself over the edge, just watch the movie "Rush"

Honestly, right now this is one of the best racing sims I have ever played. I was off today and I have literally played this game all day. Yup thats right all day. It is 9pm and I am just firing up The Show for the first time today.

Those of you that know me will be able to understand how rare that is.
