Re: F1 Game Community Suggestions Hub

Well, there is one thing that I would love to see in future F1 games:

A new upgrading system.

As you guys know, I have a lot of fun with F1 Manager 22, bringing Mercedes to absolute dominance where this awesome team belongs, and for the Codemasters F1 games, I have an idea regarding the upgrade system.

In F1 Manager 22, you need to utilize the given CFD and Wind Tunnel time to get better aerodynamic parts to improve the performance of your car. Depending on where you placed last year, you get more time for the ATR period. And obviously, if you start My Team, you get the highest ATR time.

What this whole upgrading system entails is, that the downforce stat affects both front and rear downforce so that the setups don't get disrupted, drag reduction increases top speed and improves acceleration, obviously, brake cooling lets the brakes cool down faster and prevents overheating, and therefore decreases the chance of lock-ups when playing without ABS. A higher DRS Delta obviously improves acceleration and speed when using DRS, and engine cooling obviously prevents engine overheat when racing in the hot, turbulent wake of cars ahead.

The engine upgrades solely depend on your engine supplier, unless you play My Team as a Works Team. There are power, durability, and fuel efficiency stats, which all engine suppliers need to take care of. All changes to the engine thanks to upgrades or reg changes would apply next season though.

Also, all the teams save for Mercedes, Ferrari, Alpine, and Red Bull can change their engine supplier, meaning say McLaren can change to say the Red Bull engine next season.

Same deal with the facilities that need to be upgraded and refurbished. In comparison, while in Driver Career the facilities are automatically being upgraded/refurbished, you have to do all of this yourself when playing My Team.

Overall, the entire upgrade system should be like in the F1 Manager 22, so that you can keep upgrading. Usually, you have a maxed out car after three seasons, but what if you want to continue upgrading without waiting for regulation changes? That's what I love about the F1 Manager 22, you can keep upgrading and get the team you play with to the top, and this without any limit.

I once said in a different post that Codemasters and Frontier should work together to make the perfect F1 game. Since that won't be happening, all we can do is hope that Codemasters break free from the chains of EA, upgrade the EGO engine, and work their magic again like back in 2015-2020.

    Wow! That’s a really good thought. 

    EA/CM should definitely take some inspiration from F1 Manager. As it’s such a detailed and well thought out game in the management side of the game (obviously hence the name F1 Manager), it’s the perfect example for this F1 game. 

    You raise some great extra points too. 👍👍

  • Here is today’s 5 ideas! Enjoy 😉: 

    • Ability to serve a 2, 3 or 10 second time penalty at a pit-stop
    • Ability to create a customised season calendar after season 1 of career mode (due to licensing issues, but after S1, should be fine just like adding Shanghai and Portimao?)
    • Create your own engine in MyTeam career mode + supply engine to other teams
    • Ability to create, play, and share custom blueprint event challenges with unique rules and circumstances (e.g. starting in 8th on lap 37, get to 5th place by the end of lap 41 in a Haas, BUT every time you make one overtake, your ERS resets to 100%) - the possibilities are endless
    • Ability to renegotiate contracts more often throughout the season (like in F1 2019)

    Expanding both career mode and my team to include more depth is something I yearn for.    Been plenty of suggestions we want this.  I’m hopeful it’ll come eventually.  But not To the depth of F1 Manager.

    I totally agree. 👍 

    Career mode is the holy grail of the F1 game, so the emphasis really needs to be put on it, ESPECIALLY since there’ve been no changes to it for 3 year now!

    And yeah, if they were to take it to the depth of F1 manager, it would probably become un-user-friendly, with the sheer complexity. Plus, when it’s a game that focuses far less on the off-track management compared to that of F1 manager, there’s simply no need for crazy depth.

    No to say that there shouldn’t be heavy investment into new things in the management side of the game - there’s so many great ideas on what could be done. It’s something that’s already been discussed on this thread! 
    But, F1 Manager levels of off-track management and menus/complexity is not at all needed.

  • Today’s 5 ideas (it’s a big one): 😯

    • More game modes similar to the Elimination event (e.g. Hide and seek + tag, Last driver standing, etc.)
    • Ability to transfer career modes from game to game (e.g. start a career mode on F1 22 and complete 2 seasons, then continue from where you left off, in F1 23 with updated liveries and tracks, etc. but same drivers as in it was in the previous game)
    • Ability to do Co-Op Career Mode with more than two players
    • Ability to change front wing without also changing tyres at a pit-stop
    • Regulation change voting system where your team can vote for or against a proposed regulation change (e.g. different points system, more allocated engines per season, resource point cost cap changes, etc.)

    Please let me know what you think of today’s ideas!

    Rodoko..   This what you’re doing is considered artificially bumping a thread,  Whixh is against the rules.  Granted not the crime of the century or boosting xp.  

    Dude chill relax,  When you genuinely post I genuinely like what you post.   You don’t need to be Loki

    @ScarDuck14 

    Why don’t you like me posting different ideas every day? It allows us to break the ideas down in more detail, and discuss them.

    The alternative is I post like a 120 ideas long list, and it’s hard for us to talk about them, as they’re all with each other, fighting for attention almost. 

    I’m glad to hear you genuinely like what I post. I try my best to bring forward ideas, but sometimes I get it wrong. Sometimes they’ve been mentioned once or more before. So I apologise about that. But I hope you realise that I’m genuinely just trying to encourage creative discussion, because it’s genuinely awesome to hear what people have to say! 

    Like you, I really want a better F1 game, which is why I like sharing thoughts and ideas, and asking people about what they think of certain things.

    @Radoko34Didn’t say I didn’t like it. It’s the rules. I don’t make the rules and i definitely don’t enforce them. You’ve already lost the 120 suggestion thread for posting 3 near identical threads.

    Edit.   There isn’t one rule for one and a different rule for another forum.   It’s consistent across all games boards.   And those rules are consistently enforced across all of them.  Even though we have a quiet and polite and not to mention more awesome board compared to other games😂

    No, I deleted that 120 thread because it was moved from B&TI to GD. 
    So, I didn’t want there to be similar threads in GD. 

  • Radoko34's avatar

    I definitely did. It got moved to GD by an EA staff member, and then I deleted it. 
    The only reason I can think of as to why you’d think it wasn’t me, is because sometimes when you do things on threads, it shows up as being done by AHQ-Official.

    @ScarDuck14 

    Ok. 😇 

    I still stand by the fact that I did delete it, and I don’t know why it wouldn’t show as being that way. 

    Either way, it doesn’t matter who the thread was removed by. It was more of a bugs based topic of suggestions anyway. 

    Let’s move on. 👍

    You have already posted these same ideas in another thread here. Due to that, I am locking this one as we don't need multiple threads for the same suggestions.
