Not Enough Depth or Detail In F1 Video Games
So another year goes by without the ability to create your own driver, we still have no pre-season test, no signs of old tracks being added and overall a complete lack of detail in career mode, we're once again forced to use pre-made avatar's on a video game in 2025, why is this the case? you look at any other game with customization including the EA franchise itself and they all have the ability to create your own character but not in F1 games? a big focus needs to go into the detail and depth of F1 games because it's extremely simple, there's so many things regarding customisation that we still lack in the F1 games sadly, we really need a big overhaul regarding it all going forward, please stop focusing on silly gimmicks like reverse tracks and Braking Point and start putting some effort into making F1 games far more detailed and true to the real sport. - Ability to completely start from scratch to make our custom drivers, fine tune them to how we want them to look with a good amount of options to choose from for hair, beards, detailed facial options to customise, skin profiles etc, having real base helmets (Bell etc) for each team to customise with the correct sponsorships that the team you want to race for has and weight and height which can have impacts in other areas, so much can be done with a good custom driver creator. - A proper pre-season testing period where you can either choose to simulate or take part it as it would open up a huge amount of interesting ways to start the season, things like getting upgrades and such prepared for the first race of the season, getting an idea of the performance of the teams (S2 onwards) stress testing things especially if there's been a regulation change the season before maybe you need to test certain upgrades etc plus so much more. - The ability to have upgrades, wind tunnel and other parts of the car to run into problems throughout the season like we see in real life so having to go backwards before going forwards again but can be turned off or less serious in the simulation settings. - Changes of scenery instead of the same old team HQ at the tracks, we want to be able to walk around the paddocks and interact with other drivers, teams, fans and media, another chance at creating some extremely interesting situations and could open up a world of possibilities, like creating either good or bad reputations depending on what you do on the track and in the paddock, how you interact with other drivers and teams could impact potential team moves or future teammates and rivals, we want to feel immersed in the F1 world because it creates so much drama and interest on and off the track and having a live paddock could really do so much for the game, remember the old F1 games where you had your own motorhome and could move around, go outside for interviews, why don't we have interactions with the media anymore? another place where a lot of storylines and situations could arise especially when you put everything together with a social and media centre so rumours and rivalries etc can build interesting storylines all this could also impact the AI drivers and how they drive on the track - Regarding the AI drivers there needs to be more personality from them, they all do the same things, we want to see individual styles of drivers, drivers like Max should be aggressive and willing to do anything to win on and off the track, drivers like Lewis are more methodical and wait for the right moments to launch an attack, we should have drivers who are better at certain driving characteristics like saving tyres, overtaking etc which is what I thought the rating system was supposed to do but it does nothing on track. - Choosing our own calendars and putting whatever tracks we want where we want them, why don't we have old tracks being added to the F1 games like Hockenheim, Istanbul Park, Paul Ricard, Seapang, Nürburgring etc, so many great tracks we could be using in the F1 games so we can fully customise the seasons to how we want them I've had so many good idea's but that's some of the ones I could think about off the top of my head overall there's a HUGE potential with F1 games but we never see it reached, so much simplicity and inability to create a product that shows just what it's really like to live the life of an F1 driver, I really hope as we go forward we see a lot more, if anyone else has any ideas please feel free to comment!Suggestion : Hard Tyre Activation Window Setting
Greetings EA/everyone, There is an idea that I have come up with that could potentially improve races, especially when it comes to league racing. It is something that mimics how teams/drivers sometimes avoid using the hard tyre in a race in real life, which would also promote using the 2-stop strategy more. I created a video to explain it, let me know your thoughts! https://youtu.be/ueyzMqQEuYM?si=moroVmERL2jqhf4iGlitch, going from 1st to last finishing a race during a blue flag
I was first, but as I neared the finish, I blue flagged the driver ahead of me. But I finished before the overtake. This caused the game to put me dead last. (in the footage is 19th cause of 3 DNF's. This is on F1 25, via the EA APP on the newest patch.

After the driver career rework from last year, you can only move to teams that are close in performance to your current team. So if you win every race in a sauber, you'll still only get offers from the bottom teams. I like the idea of getting a contract being somewhat challenging, but I would rather have the 23' system where you just chose what team to go to instead of this. This also makes it impossible to do a Sainz for and move from a fast team to a slower without nerfing your current team.My Team - Simulating qualifying always puts selected driver in last
I've noticed that every time I simulate qualifying in my team, the selected driver always starts in last place. I have upgraded my team to the 5th best on the grid, so I don't understand why this is happening. The other driver in my team always qualifies in line with what I'd expect.Issues with weather reports and info in wet races
I've just been in a race where rain started halfway through the race in Austria. About 5 mins before the rain started I asked for a weather report and was told no information available. This happened multiple times and this only stopped after pitting for inters. Then towards the end of the race without asking for an update the engineer said rain was easing up, only for a lap later to be told to box for full wets as it was raining so much. I also noticed this in another race in Australia. I think this is an issue that needs to be looked into.More session results data
I just discovered that on PC, one can export the session results as a CSV file. So far, I have been using a custom-made tool that utilizes telemetry to collect data and upload it to our league backend. It would be good if the game exported the same data that we need. This includes the total penalty time (which I suppose could be worked out from the race director), the total number of laps completed, but more importantly, the percentage of the total race time that the user (as opposed to the AI) has been in control of the car. Are there any chances that we can see the current CVS data expanded with these extra fields? For reference, this is the tool that we currently use and maintain https://github.com/P403n1x87/f1-telemetry.Slipstream League Racing Season 18 Sign ups are open! - 4 Tiers - F1 25

Driving in the wet is HORRIBLE because AI TEMPS
Driving in the wet is literally one of the worst experiences i've ever had in an f1 game. The game is overall fun, but little details and "features" make racing in the wet against the AI literally unplayable. There is a "FEATURE" since god know when, that when AI gets to the optimal tyre temps, it wont go up, making the player have a HUGE disadvantage when driving in the wet or in certains tracks like brazil. This "FEATURE" makes the game feel broken. I just had a race that went WET-INTERS and the last 3 laps were dry conditions, with no one stopping at the end for dry tyres. The first part was good, no problems. Once the track was dry enough for inters, i made the switch, but what did the AI do? Exactly, they stayed out for 8 or so more laps. They SHOULD never be able to do that. FULL WET TYRES HEAT UP WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WATER. FULL WET TYRES SHOULD BURN IN INTER CONDITIONS. But AI cant overheat, so they can stay out god knows how long. Then when they finally come for inters, they have way fresher tyres than the player because, of course, the player had to pit earlier because full wets would burn. Then, at the end of the race, the track was dry, but everyone opted to stay out because pitting would take too much time. Nice. What happens then? The player tyres BURN, inters on dry conditions get up to 100-105ºC, and its undrivable. And what does the AI do? They can drive perfectly because their tyres are at a very comfy 55ºC. i literally dont understand why is this the way it is. It literally seems like no one that makes the game actually plays the game for more than 3 laps to see if the game runs. Hope they change something to fix this because for things like this is the reason they end up getting sh*tted on social media
