Please keep the ability to bind the clutch pedal as the brake pedal
Due to advanced age and bad knees, the ability to bind the clutch pedal as a brake pedal on my Logitech G923 has been a life-saver. (Before the hard-core drivers chime in: Yes, I know that I'm forfeiting the ability to do trail braking and be competitive in multi-player, but I choose to challenge myself by turning off the racing line instead and learning how braking points shift as the car gets lighter in longer races against the AI.) Plus, it's more ergonomic to use the clutch pedal as the brake on the G923 especially for people like me that have the body frame of an American football linebacker. There are a lot of rumors flying around about the 2027 edition, but please preserve the ability to bind the clutch pedal as the brake pedal. As a casual player, I really don't feel like spending the extra money on brands like Fanatec pedals that allow more customization. (Ex. I think you can remove the foam insert of the Fanatec CSL brake pedal so it's easier on aging knees and adjust the horizontal placement for ergonomics.) Thanks for your consideration!Suggestion: Allow helmet, suit, livery changes through the season in Career Mode
I’d like to suggest adding proper support for changing helmets, race suits, and car liveries through the season in Career Mode for F1 25. It’s 2025, and this has been a recurring request in the community for years. I’ve personally seen Reddit discussions about this feature that are around five years old, which suggests this isn’t a new or niche idea, but something players have wanted across multiple game releases. Ideally, players could switch between different helmets, suits, and liveries across the full 24-race calendar, or choose specific races where they want to use a different design. In real-world F1, drivers often run special helmets and teams introduce one-off liveries during a season, so this would improve realism and immersion. I’m aware that it’s technically possible to achieve this right now through workarounds, but that’s exactly why it would be better as an integrated feature. If players are already doing this, having official support would make the experience smoother and more accessible. Career Mode is meant to feel immersive and personal, and being locked into the same visuals for an entire season feels limiting. Properly supporting visual changes through the season would add depth without affecting gameplay balance. I’m curious what others think. Would this be a meaningful improvement to Career Mode, or is it something you feel isn’t necessary?F1XL Season 27 Starts 25th Jan 2026
Happy New year. F1XL is the UK's longest running F1 League having started way back on F1 2010 and we havent skipped a year since. We have since grown from strength to strength, starting on Xbox but expanding to multi-platform along the way and bringing together people from all over the world. Literally. We believe we are unique amongst the F1 League communities and offer something different. We are aimed specifically at a more casual audience. Don't let that fool you - we have some incredible racers driving with us, but we actively encourage people of all ages, abilities, walks of life and lifestyles to join and have fun. To encourage this more casual approach we only use the in game presets. NO custom set ups allowed. So what else? A unique "Team Principal" system. A Live broadcast draft night before the season starts where Team Principals get to draft their team across all divisions. A weekly broadcast chat show (when possible) with reviews and interviews of the weeks races. As close to full seasons as we can manage in timeframes. An outstanding and welcoming community with a robust rule-set to ensure fairness for all and great on-track racing. Season ending All Star Race, a 100% feature race with top drivers from all our divisions. A silly amount of stats that enables the near 800 drivers we have had over the years to see how they stack up against others along with all accolades accrued We race on Sundays at 9pm BST. 50% race distance with a single quali session. If you want a good look at our history, head over to https://www.f1xl.co.uk/home and check out our past seasons, stats, records and so on. You can apply for the coming season from there too. Most importantly though, head to our Discord and sign up there. https://discord.gg/3gKvrQA34x We look forward to seeing you all on trackBring back special liveries, please
Many people waited to buy F1 25 with the Christmas offers, which means we missed out on several special liveries such as the silver McLaren or Ferrari from Monza. It would be great to have another chance to get them. I think they are a great addition to the game as they are implemented this time, and it would be a shame not to be able to get them.
Severe AI teleporting / desync in Co-Op and Multiplayer Grand Prix PC
Hello, I’d like to report a serious issue with F1 25 related to AI behavior in online modes. My brother and I are playing on PC from the same house and the same internet connection. The issue happens both with crossplay enabled and crossplay disabled. In Co-Op Career mode and Multiplayer Grand Prix, the AI cars constantly teleport forward and backward, showing heavy desynchronization. Their movement is unnatural, with sudden jumps and position changes, making races almost unplayable. Important details: Both players are on PC Same local network same Wi-Fi, same house Stable internet connection, works perfectly in all other online games Issue occurs only in F1 25 Occurs consistently in Co-Op and Multiplayer Grand Prix Crossplay ON or OFF makes no difference This does not appear to be a local connection issue, but rather a server-side synchronization or netcode problem involving AI cars. Thank you. [Thread moved from F1 25 IT board to F1 25 EN board, please review the guidelines to find the right language board for your post. EA_Claus]Missed out of Ferrari livery because of flooding
I don’t know if anyone at EA can help me with this, but I live in the area recently affected by severe flooding in Washington state. I play F1 25 on PS5, and my console was being fixed when I was forced to evacuate my home because of flooding. I didn’t get my console back until a couple of weeks ago and so I missed out on the first wave of Survival mode rewards. I’m a deeply devoted Ferrari fan and so I’m extremely sad that I didn’t have the chance to get the Ferrari Monza livery and the helmet styles for Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Could you guys find a way to help brighten my day by allowing me to have these special cosmetics? It would mean a lot, because I’m so disappointed to miss out due to circumstances beyond my control. Thanks for any help you can give.From last week or so, AI has a "turbo" advantage when using Overtake Mode.
It can't be only happening to me. I saw a video from JaviFt14 showing this issue and is so real. When using overtake mode, AI has a huge boost, even comparing with the player using overtake mode. They are getting so OP in the straights, is making the game anoying and unrewarding. Here is the video https://youtu.be/FBoTLJLeY08?si=Qr1eLvtJ9YEsKtc7. Take a look at it and take your own conclusions. Also, the ERS is broken in my game, but could be an issue just for me.
Essential MUST-HAVE Fixes for F1 26 DLC
Hey! As a very experienced F1 gamer and long time fan of the EA F1 series, I feel almost obligated to point out and suggest a few things that EA simply cannot ignore for a successful F1 26 DLC. Feel free to add any other ideas you have in the comment section. 1 LITTLE DETAILS MATTER (THE ALPINE LOGO IN 2025 IS BLUE AND NOT WHITE!) One thing I reported even before the release of F1 25 was that Alpine changed the colour of their team logo from 2024 (white) to 2025 (blue). I reported it multiple times, even DM´d moderators about it. For Williams, you managed to fix the colour change from blue to white (thanks to my report). It´s hard to believe that you have a whole year to develop a new game, yet can´t manage to update the colour of a simple logo. These are small details that are not difficult to fix, but are extremely annoying when they´re wrong. So please take your time to get the basics right before moving on to the bigger things. 2 FULL LEADERBOARD SHOWING ALL DRIVERS/BETTER UI Also not particularly difficult, but it would do thousands of players a huge favor. More realism, more options and players wouldn´t have to rely on hobby modders paying monthly fees to do the work you should be doing. A simple Win-Win situation. 3 DRIVER/TEAM EDITOR If any of the developers or operators at EA F1 are reading this thread, could you please explain why this isn´t a feature yet? We already have it in EA FC and other EA sports games, but not in F1! We literally had to wait six months just to swap Doohan with Colapinto. Adding this feature would bring so much more variety to F1, allowing players to freely transfer drivers before and during a career as they wish. Right now, the AI´s driver changes are predictable and boring in 8 out of 10 cases, which really limits the experience. 4 MOST IMPORTANT: IMPROVE THE AI If there is one single thing you are allowed to change, it has to be this. Have you ever asked yourselves why almost all F1 content creators only produce career mode videos for the first two or three months after a new F1 game releases? Because it becomes boring. Because nothing truly changes. And I am not talking about live content or a lack of game modes. The game becomes boring because races are predictable. The AI drives fixed lines, every driver behaves the same and there are almost no mistakes under pressure - or mistakes at all. I have played every F1 game since F1 2017 and I have virtually never seen a real AI crash where two or more cars fly off the track. Maybe once in over 5,000 races there was a minor AI collision at the start. That is not realistic! In real Formula 1, incidents at the start happen in at least every third race. A DLC should focus entirely on improving AI behaviour instead of adding new modes no one asked for. Features like driver personalities, more realistic defending, occasional errors and AI crashes are urgently needed to create unpredictable, engaging races. This would allow players to stay invested for months instead of losing interest after a few weeks, while also laying a crucial foundation for F1 27 and generating real excitement for the new era of the F1 games. 5 EXTRAS As I already said, the AI has to be the main thing for the F1 26 DLC in my eyes so I don´t expect any other things. But here you have some ideas for the F1 27 game that honestly should have been in the game for a long time already: -> Custom Race Calendar -> Better AI for Monaco (I play against 105 AI every track but at Monaco I can easily win against 110) -> Historical Race Tracks (Hockenheim, Portimao, Turkiye and DO NOT DELETE IMOLA!) -> More drivers for career mode (Vettel, Magnussen, Latifi...)Anyone else facing EA server / online services errors?
Is anyone else getting these EA server and online services errors, or is it just me? I’m seeing “Unable to connect to EA servers” and “Online Services Error”, with an error code 2446953695:S. I’ve attached screenshots for reference. Just to clarify, my internet connection is stable and working fine. Other online games and services run without any issues, EA App is online, and I’m not using a VPN. I’ve already tried restarting the game and system as well. I wanted to check if this is a wider server-side issue or something specific on my end. If anyone has faced this before and found a fix, I’d really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
