Gamers are reporting a whole host of nasty bugs in Codemasters' otherwise-brilliant F1 2010 game.
Chief among those bugs are:
* AI drivers not pitting at all in a race, or too many times.
* Times that are pre-determined by cpu in qualifying rounds don't relate to actual race pace set by ai in the race itself.
* Pit lane exit/entry lines can be passed over without penalty during a race.
* Fuel Sim Mode has little or no effect on AI drivers.
* Random lockups and game freezes, notably during any interaction with the Live Dashboard on Xbox 360 / XMB on PS3.
* Race results not actually being shown accurately for the proper race itself.
* AI cars unaffected by weather conditions even in rain on slicks.
* Pit Limited on regardless of setting.

Team VVV writes: "To follow up on our recent F1 2011 vs F1 2015 video, we decide to go one step further and put four iterations of Codemasters' F1 titles side by side for comparison purposes and for a little fun too.
We have F1 2010 running at the top left for the Xbox 360, F1 2011 at the top right also for the Xbox 360, the bottom left is last year's F1 2014 for the Playstation 3 and of course F1 2015 running on the Playstation 4 completes the foursome in the bottom right video."
Steve from Gamespresso argues that it's time for Codemasters to stop releasing new F1 games annually, stating that they should either add new liveries and licences to existing games as DLC, or not release a game at all.
F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..
The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.
Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).
Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
I guess most people got fooled by the shiny visuals. I certainly was. Didn't even know there was no safety car, for the first two days. Lots and lots of bugs and/or inconsistencies with a real F1 race, on closer inspection. Codemasters are gonna have to do a LOT better than this for the next game to convince me to buy it.
