Driver Stats are also being expanded on with a new Focus attribute in addition to Awareness, Pace, Racecraft, Experience and Overall Rating. As new tracks become available, they can be added into the calendar (which explains Portimao and Imola releasing after the game launches). Even R&D up till that point is simulated, providing the closest experience to the live season as possible. Real-Season Start and New Season Driver StatsĪnother cool new feature is Real-Season Start which reflects real-world standings and lets players complete any races that are remaining. You can either team up with a friend or race as rivals and see who’s the best with press briefings, media appearances and Championships all included. Of course, the biggest change to Career Mode is two-player support. There are also multiple heads of R&D and a Quick Practice option available, the latter introducing a risk vs. Players can also complete secondary objectives in Practice to unlock Development Boosts to save money on upgrades. R&D in general has been revamped, doing away with the skill tree presentation for a clearer presentation and working alongside Practice Programmes (the number of which has changed). How replayable it will be – like if different choices can lead to different outcomes – remains to be seen but thankfully, that’s not the only mode available.Ĭareer Mode is where you’ll really be cutting your teeth and thanks to the Expert setting, you can make things tougher by increasing the AI’s R&D progress, disabling or enabling the option to meet the press, enabling vehicle faults and more. Codemasters estimates about five to six hours for completing the story based on one’s skill. Though it will offer plenty of drama, it shouldn’t take too long for average players to finish Braking Point.
Braking Point aims to inject some emotion and drama into the various rivalries and choices made on and off the track, while the high stakes of trying to be the best remain. There are five teams to choose from, including Renault, which later rebrands to Alpine Racing Point, which rebrands to Aston Martin Williams Haas F1 Team and Scuderia AlphaTauri. Even Devon Butler, the smug rival from F1 2020, returns. He’ll be guided by Casper Akkerman, who also serves as his teammate while others like the team boss, Aiden’s mother and many more can be interacted with.
Taking place across three seasons – the 2019 Formula 2 season along with the 20 seasons in Formula 1 – it has players controlling Aiden Jackson as he works his way up the ranks. With F1 2021, Codemasters is introducing a brand new story mode called Braking Point. Standard hasn’t been properly detailed but it does aim to provide a more authentic experience while letting you tweak things. Expert is meant for veterans and provides a variety of settings to mess with including switching car faults on or off. Casual Mode is a more streamlined experience, providing simplified menus and other pre-made settings. To that end, it will offer three game settings – Casual, Standard and Expert – to suit a variety of players.
