I think that is a big point. You get older and your honeymoon period gets shorter. You get to a point where you can tell within the first 24 hours or less is this a game that you will enjoy for some time to come or does it fall flat and just plain out junk in your opinion.

I am no longer in the "honeymoon phase" ( no jab at you at all Seymour ) and completely realize the list of issues. Maybe its because I am older now, and have a lot more patience, but I love the hell out of this game. If I am not playing, I want to be playing it. The MP is just great, and if one of the bugs affect me.......so be it. I know that my outlook is probably the minority, but I would still recommend this game to any of my friends, with the understanding that there are some issues. The truth of the matter is, I really cant think of 1 game I could suggest that doesn't have a list of problems. I am not looking to badmouth anyone who has a differing opinion than mine, as everyones opinion is a valid one. I just have a different outlook these days. I just want a game to be fun, and if there are issues, for a developer to understand that it needs attention.

That is kind of the way I feel too. I am not a F1 Fan in real life, so I guess that helps me with this game. I believe in the theory, "The less you know about a sport in real life, the more you enjoy it's video game representation." So, although there are issues with this game, for me personally it doesn't bother me as much. Seems that CM is working diligently on some fixes. So, until then I will play Time Trial/Multiplayer.

By the way, here is a guy that already completed one season. His workaround for the Pit Bug, seemed pretty straightforward. http://community.codemasters.com/for...-comments.html

One last video I'd like to post for anyone on the fence from getting this game. I'm just a casual racer fan and I am so far enjoying this game as much as any racing game I've ever had.

Apparently the issue here is that the quali times are randomly generated in a way. They aren't actually related to the laps being done by the AI cars. One of the devs responded to this very question because someone had spotted that they were going just as fast as an AI car but were considerably slower on the timing sheets.

I think that's the key. I bought it mostly for single player and the career mode and that's probably where issues pop up the most.

scripted qualifying times no matter what the difficulty and events on the track is just about the worst bug i´ve ever heard about in any sports game.

Now in the CM forums there´s a report that even races are scripted that way ...

so at least i´m not going crazy ... Still, that really sucks because as of now there is nearly no way in hell for me to compete in qualifying.

Could someone please explain what FFB means ?
