Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

An interesting start to the weekend for F1. Aston Martin: The FIA rule changes are unfair to low-rake cars and we demand changes Mercedes: Runs 1-2 with low-rake cars And LOL @ Nikita Mazepin, another great day at office. SUPER excited about IndyCar's season finally starting up this weekend. This ha...

Portimao! :D What a fantastic roller-coaster of a circuit. Have driven it in other games. So underrated.
Now I keep thinking PORTIMAO sung to the tune of "Panama"

One nice thing about the EA acquisition is that the game should have a 10-hour trial period at launch.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour Series

I think for the core golf/sports gamer, you're absolutely right, PK. But if there's one sports genre that absolutely NEEDS the more casual sports gamer's interest, it's golf. There's a reason 2K shelled out the money for Tiger and same for EA, with Augusta. I joked all the time that you'd think Tige...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

All of the recent talk around here about it got me back into Wreckfest. It is such a refreshing change-of-pace game from the usual racing sim, can't wait to try it out with the update for Series X.

Got mine day of release, luckily saw them online the night before with a few in stock at a BB a few miles away so bought them immediately and picked them up day of release. Very good sounding, but the mic is meh...not that great but I mostly use them for late night gaming in my office. Comfortable ...

Re: Is it the pandemic or ...

You aren't wrong, in my opinion. At least in the AAA space, where the costs and time make it risky to step out of what you know will sell. Thinking about my time at EA, where there were upwards of 20-30 new releases per year (actual titles, not individual SKUs). New franchises ranged from cult favor...

I just want to take a moment to sh*t on the Haas F1 team. I've found their disposition to be generally off-putting for years. Comments like these from the (admittedly entertaining) Guenther Steiner in 2018 certainly didn't help. "Just having an American driver who maybe cannot compete at a certain l...

Agree with everyone about Jac Collinsworth, gross nepotism. Josh Allen is exhibit A for the importance of coaching and a kid's ability to be coached. In the wrong situation Allen could have one foot out of the league already, but instead the Bills did a great job fixing his flaws, developing the obv...

Did anyone else watch the Nickelodeon coverage of Saints/Bears?

Merry Christmas everyone. I’m looking forward to a “no assembly required” Christmas morning for both of my boys.

The wrapping is done, stockings are close to done, and Coming to America is just starting. Time to pour another drink and enjoy the rest of the night.

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

I agree, it's 100% the right move for Red Bull and fantastic for Checo. Going to be fascinating to see how Perez stacks up to Saint Max, I think Max rather enjoyed having a clear #2 driver (both in name and pace) alongside compared to his time alongside Ricciardo. But I feel for Albon, maybe at some...

Somehow Abu Dhabi managed to live down to my expectations, can't stand races at that track both in real life and virtual. Just start over or find a way to run a different layout, please.

Any chance this ends up with Mercedes paying Williams to run Bottas next season? Sure would be a statement if Russell outpaces him out of the gate, Bottas need to turn his form around, especially in the race

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

I'm VERY interested to see how the replacement driver does vs. Bottas, and any of those three are fine with me. Hulkenberg is probably my sentimental preference, for the very reason you called out.

How about George Russell? That could be fun, want to see how that kid really stacks up.

The next safety challenge for racing is a replacement for Armco barriers. They're so unsafe.
