Podium Pass Content Awful
F1 23 Podium Pass is awful compared to last year’s game. Why can’t I unlock any helmets, car liveries etc with the standard tier? Not a single cosmetic item to customise our experience without paying...

You’d need to purchase the Season 1 VIP tier and then grind for days to earn enough pitcoin to renew Season 2 VIP. That’s not a solution.
My Team mode has been a copy and paste from last year’s game, except this year, they’ve taken away all the livery options and now you have to buy them!
Aarava recently ran a poll and the results showed that only 6% of the player base are playing F1 World. That’s atrocious and shows what a dead game mode it is, so why does the standard tier of podium pass need to throw F1 world car upgrades at you in overwhelming quantities! Fact is, you don’t need to upgrade your car when the AI is set to 30 and you can’t change it…..
This game has removed so many customisable options and forced you to pay for them.
You can grind all 50 levels of podium pass and not get a single helmet or car livery… 👎👎
so the guy that only does myteam content never once had any other type of content made a pool from his viewer that supposedly are mostly interested in myteam content or they would look at other channels with more type of different content from ranked to my world and so on tell us only 6% of his people is interested in my world and we should take him seriously
is like saying I resell icecream cone and I tell you only 6% like icecream cup because in my channel where I only talk about icecream cone a pool show that only 6% would ever eat icecream in a cup
people need to get a clue about how polls should be made. Plus I am sure they have REAL data of how many people use what and we don't have to guess plus they are a business is something is really used by only 6% they won't make the mistake to force it into next year's plan they are not masochist. I really wouldn't trust anything a youtuber tell me he is obviously just pushing his own agenda it's work for him
Because podium pass unlocks are skewed heavily towards F1 world content…. Knowing people like liveries they have now been put in the store to buy. This way it will generate more revenue through micro transactions.. Now we have to buy most liveries rather than unlock multiple ones through podium passes: I’ve made one off the default liveries and outfits work. As much as I like changing them… this year I’m sticking with what I’ve got… I won’t be handling any extra money for what should already be in game
Personally I only play my team but I got to level 50 quickly doing the my team pre race events and got all the skin already
not that I care much I tend to use always the same anyway I would never buy any
- @wildwestcowboy Im exactly the same as you! i bought the standard edition with the 5,000 pitcoin. So not enough to buy the 9,000 VIP pass without having to spend additional money on microtransactions. After paying £69.99 for a standard edition, the notion of having to pay an additional £7 to get access to any of the helmets and liveries is a P*** take!
You can complete all 50 levels of standard tier and get just 2,500 pitcoin and not a single helmet, glove, suit or car livery. STILL not enough to get a VIP tier. After grinding the game to level 50 I think it should grant you a free VIP pass.- @SDGMatt Anyone noticed that the "Store" now has Weekly and Monthly content instead of last year's Daily and Weekly? More ways to give players less content unless you pay money for it

On the one hand, as I explained, any remotely realistic looking race suit/ gloves were not available for free and needed to be purchased by pitcoin; “suggesting” they want to force users to buy them. That content was available from day 1 and still is. So anyone who would buy something probably has.
Yet, for podium passes and releases to the store, so far they only have horrible looking liveries, suits, helmets and gloves. Nothing remotely realistic looking. So no motivation for anyone to purchase something, on top of the fact it’s now weekly/monthly.
It would make sense if they had crappy gear available for free and then had great looking gear available in store/ podium pass. But no - it just feels like another area that’s been mismanaged.
@SDGMatt'You can grind all 50 levels of podium pass and not get a single helmet or car livery'
well that's a lie cause i've gotten loads from it.By level 20 you get 13 bits of gear and 5000 pitcoin....

I dunno man if we're gonna sit here and cry about content passes we're gonna be here all day, all games do it now.
I'd rather spend £7 on a content pass within a game i play almost every day rather than spending £40-50 on a game i'll probably play once or twice and never boot up again once completed.
Value is based on your time spent within the game honestly.@wildwestcowboyI know just a figure of speech, i see a lot of people complaining about passes in gaming now, thing is they're only 'expensive' if you're not getting your moneys worth from time spent playing.
If you play the game a lot I think they're worth it, but thats me.
- @matty0blobber It's not a lie, you just didn't read what I wrote mate! Slow down with the replies and take some time to read. You don't have to chirp in on every comment! Talking about the standard tier, not VIP!
Standard only unlocks upgrades for the F1 World Car. VIP unlocks a few helmets and car liveries.- @SDGMatt Previous years I’ve got every VIP podium pass… This year don’t intend on getting any if the content stays as it is
