I never played 15 but from all I have heard 16 is a lot better especially in the career mode.

I can tell you from my experience this is one of the best racing sims I have played on a console.

The AI in this game surprised me on how authentic it is, not perfect but the best I have ever seen. Quickly becoming my favorite sim of all time.

Edit: But it must be played with a wheel.

Quick question for those that have played this much more than I have. Started my career and qualified better than expected. I am running with the worst car, Haas?, and made it to the second round of qualifying. Think I ended up 12th. So when I went to start the race today I am in 22nd place? Did I do something wrong or what, I am confused.

Awesome!! My copy that I ordered yesterday from Amazon should be waiting at home for me today!

I did a few quick races last night to get adjusted to the controls and the game itself, since I've never played an F1 game. I'm awful, plain and simple. Haha. It's definitely going to take some time for me to get used to all the ins-and-outs of a racing game, but it was still a lot of fun! I played Baku, Italy (Monza maybe), and Spa last night. Spa looks amazing and is probably my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to getting in more time!

I cannot play with stability control off, has to be on for me. Every single time I come out of a turn the car wants to spin, even when I perfect the corner, this is the 1st F1 game I've played though. Also, is there any setting to increase full track caution frequency? Where everyone lines up behind the pace car.

Did you save and quit between qualifying and the race? If so there is a bug I've seen a view others mention that will change where you qualified in the race. Otherwise you may have incurred grid penalties for issues during practice and qualifying.
