What's new in the pilot career
After making us great promises regarding handling with “revolutionary improvements”, F1 24 continues his presentation, this time focusing on his pilot career. A mode very popular with the community, it had never really seen any big changes in recent years, ultimately being only an alternative to MyTeam. But for 2024, Electronic Arts and Codemasters want to shake things up. Which is not a bad thing since it seems that there will be no new season at Point de Rupture and that F1 World will change very little. So at least that was necessary to energize the content.
As mentioned in the announcement, F1 24 will review its pilot career with an emphasis on the majority of its aspects. In this new trailer of more than five minutes, the studio goes over all the new features and changes, with details that will deepen your adventure and make things a little more different, especially from one season to the next. another one.

To begin with, we will be entitled to a some freedom when you start : you can take an F1 driver, a young F2 driver, an iconic driver (such as Jenson Button, Michael Schumacher, Jamie Chadwick and others) or create your own driver that you can personalize (without much change on the tool a priori). If you start in F2, you will have to choose your academywhich will have an impact on opportunities and your development when moving into F1.
New feature: Fame. See this as a reputation that you can increase (and which can be in confrontation with your teammate) and that you can maintain through various objectives, in particular challenges to complete on the track (overtaking a particular driver before a particular lap by example). This will allow you to have some advantages (compared to the second pilot or in R&D) but also help you sign new contracts: the opportunity to introduce secret interviewswhere some teams could offer you a contract even if you are committed.
If R&D changes little in its habits, we especially note that Fame can have an impact but also that there will be annual scenarios : just to vary the seasons, you can go with a similar bonus or penalty, such as limiting yourself to one part per month or only in a specific area, such as Chassis or Aero. We are also told about a system of distinctions, this time long-term objectives which allow you to extend the track record of an existing pilot or to start from scratch with your own. Finally, we can also see that the icons arrive in the two-player career or the arrival of an asynchronous multiplayer mode with short seasons included some plots and which will be updated at a certain cycle of seasons.
F1 24 will be released on May 31, 2024 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series. You can pre-order your copy now.
