My intial reaction to a 5 year career in 2011 SP was shock. Indeed, we won't get a chance to beat Michael Schumachers 7 career wins, & the reality is F1 drivers drive for a decade or more at the edge...Look at Barrichello, he's been driving F1 since 1926
. Soon he'll need a bath chair to get in the car. But, what will I do to compensate? Up each individual race length to 70 or 100% instead of 40% in 2010. Keep it on Legend.
I personally love SP & online, but there is something bothering me. I recoded the database bin for reputation points for the 2011 mod, becuase 7 years wasn't enough as we all know. Now if Codies have cut SP down to 5 years, have they balanced the reputation points to open the game up accordingly? See my concern? I will look into the open source code bin if this is the case.
Anyhoos, the main thing about SP Career that bugged me in 2010 & will probably bug me in 2011, is/was that at the end of a 7 or the new, soon to be maximum 5 year career, you were or will be, not so much
retired as
disappeared. There was/is no hall of fame so to speak, no reference point to past achievements, no chance to reflect after all that thrutching. It's important to a good few SP players, but overall, I think 5 years will be fine if you crank up the difficulties, distance & ergo, learning curve.
Twenty years would be great as an option, but we don't have it. To those who are addicted SP players, have a go online. We have the power to convert you :tongue:
