Hey guys

Can you answer the question. pretty simple: yes/ no

When does it be ready ?

@andrerc80I can only assume that it won't be available in F1 22. Why? Leagues require storing data on server side. And - AFAIK - each platform (Xboxes, Playstations, Origin, Steam) provide their own backend for that kind of storage. That's the reason why you can't compare time trial lap times between platforms. You see only leaderboards from current platform you play on. Same with leagues. It's a different story to start multiplayer session ad hoc as the one who starts is a host and combines everyone regardless of platform. No more, no less.

And we have to bear in mind that EA's native platform - Origin/EA Play - has issues with storing/serving leaderboard time trial data for months now. If they can't fix such thing, how can we can rely on them to store league data if they decide to do it on their side to store it for crossplay?

And of course - as you can see - the game support is diminishing. Patches are pushed less frequently, probably more devs are relocated to a new game iteration rewriting user interface and liveries. Of course if you want some new paid items like chairs or lamps or change livery for George Russell then hell yeah - they will probably do it. Fixing serious bugs or implement important features that should exist from a get-go? No will and manpower to do it. You've paid for the game. End of story.
