Is that video a joke?😱 so Spain is undriveable. 

i just returned from (another) ban because being too critical and having an opinion gets you banned over here as a way to silence you when the truth hurts apparently.

what a bunch of amateurs!🤣🤣🤣 (ban incoming!🤪)

1) No matter how you look at it, F1 23 is a failure of a game in my view. I've been calling it F1 22.5 from time to time, but even that is a stretch

2) I cannot and have not recommended this franchise for a while now

3) The post-launch support this game has had is atrocious

4) I have never ever seen in my life as a "Champion" seen someone being banned for being "too critical and having an opinion" or because their "truth hurts". Never. I have seen warnings and suspensions given for those that have no tact to differ from being critical to being uncivil though – two completely distinct things.

For all Codemasters failings, the CMs I've personally seen working on this boards have all done their job irreproachably. For whatever it's worth, the day I see someone being banned for reasonable albeit harsh criticism will be the day I'll be giving this site a solemn goodbye.

God knows it is most definitely not the game that has made me hang around for so long.

Whatever you say. I have tried nice for years already since the old forums, but no matter how nice you are, you will be ignored and treated like garbage. 

so mister nice guy has left long ago, how do they say it? Cause and effect? As long as they treat all of us like we’re no better than garbage, I will treat them with the same “kindness” 

whether it’s called a ban or suspension, i do not care.

and yes i have called out Lee Mather for all his blatant lies, but if the guy on top behaves like this, it only tells more about everyone below him. And am I wrong to call him a liar when he states a game has been 2 years in development while it’s a copy paste of the one 2 years before with the EXACT SAME BUGS as the 2 year release before that (2020 had all the same bugs as 2018) 

didn’t he say, no PROMISE that anti cheat is coming? Almost half a year in, and NOT A WORD about progress or whatever.

i’m done with the lies and false promises, and being treated like trash, so should everyone else here who feels the same way. Nice doesn’t cut it, they did it to themselves. 

and I don’t care what anyone thinks of me or my response. I have been a F1 fan for over 28 years, and I hate to see a studio dragging a great sport like this through the mud. 

they don’t care about making a game that actually reflects the QUALITY of the sport or what these cars are capable of, they just use years old engines, shove some crap like supercars or sofa’s in it, while the whole basics are trash and gets worse each patch. Take spain! That bump? AMATEURISM! Even beginner level programmers know TO TEST STUFF BEFORE RELEASING. And it’s not one patch, they break stuff EVERY PATCH! And we live in 2023, the online part of this game and the netcode is so ancient that it feels like we’re on dial-up in stead of fiber internet, and then EA has the balls to blame OUR side of the connection. While the same issues persist EVERY.SINGLE.DAMN.RELEASE. That’s called sticking your head where the sun doesn’t shine. And in this age online is such a big part of gaming that their main focus should be online design. 

that’s how much they “care” about quality. Season pass has become more trash, no cosmetics anymore, all they want is money, while delivering a subpar game and have the balls to charge AAA price for it while it’s not even worth more than indieegames and that’s actually disrespectful to indie studios because they at least care about delivering a QUALITY game THAT WORKS. And they test everything.

but a big studio simply doesn’t care, they want your money and further we need to shut up. 

i’m hoping from the bottom of my heart all this reaches someone within FOM/F1 and they lose the license so a studio who actually gives a damn about QUALITY can give us what we deserve and pay for. 

and we can force their hand by collectively boycotting F1 by EA/Codemasters from now on and not buying anymore. Don’t fall for the lies, don’t trust them anymore. We speak with the wallet and when they don’t make any money, CHANGE MUST COME! 

What an embarassing debacle, F1 23 is already the last entry I'll purchase from these frauds and by this point everyone should be in the same boat.

I won't be purchasing another Codemasters game full stop because the studio is actually pathetic at this point, hope they get shut down in typical EA fashion so F1 fans don't have to tolerate this soulless garbage any longer.

Hello everyone,

The team is aware of the issues in Spain and they are being investigated.

Sorry for the inconvenience

And are you aware of the game crashing when accessing friends? 

Spain was terrible already, now this is unplayable.

Cheaters and harassment cannot be reported and now ranked matches are not working at all. Joined three different lobbies, they just don't start and countdown never appears. And it's not players trying to making it last forever. It just doesn't work. I can't believe I keep on spending money to purchase these games just for the love of F1. Cheaters, harassers and bugs are the only things I've purchased.
