Quality of Life Improvements
Hi guys,
I don't know what you guys think about it, or what the developers EA SPORTS think about it, but I think that this is the only way to fix F1 23 for good.
I have suggestions for Quality of Life improvements. In case you don't know what it means, it's an update that further optimizes the game and fixes some bugs, maybe adding a bit more content, e.g. new liveries for My Team and F1 World.
Anyway, the QoL improvements that I would like to see is this:
- The most important one in my opinion. Bring back Nyck de Vries. The main reason why I want him back is because he has a section in the compendium which ultimately becomes useless and unnecessary because he's not a part of the grid. Also, he drove more races in the real life season than Daniel Ricciardo or Liam Lawson, both of which were his replacements. And I suggested that for the entire lifetime ever since the Daniel Ricciardo update. Just add Daniel Ricciardo to the roster of free agents so other teams can hire him in Career mode and keep de Vries at AlphaTauri. Otherwise, every new career is completely unrealistic because Nyck de Vries is missing.
- Almost as important as the first one, and that is to equalize the top speed of the F1 cars. It is certainly possible to reach 370+ KPH on tracks like Monza and Las Vegas. But when cars powered by Mercedes power units can only go 350 and the Red Bull can go 370, things become insanely unfair. League Racing is being destroyed because of that, because nobody wants to join a Mercedes powered team, meaning there are always 8 free spots because nobody wants to be slower than everyone else. And I'm well aware that the car is not everything in F1, but it's garbage if you lose races because you have no top speed unlike the others.
- If the Pitcoin shop gets disabled like in most older F1 games, there has to be a way to get the customization items in the store without Pitcoins. My suggestion is to make these items purchasable with the cash you earn in F1 World, and the cost would be 2k per 100 Pitcoins (e.g. 150,000 Cash for an item for 7,500 Pitcoins). This gives players an actual incentive to grind out F1 World. I already mentioned it in an F1 24 suggestion, and it would be nice if it was integrated into both games.
- Since Lewis Hamilton said himself in real life that he will stay in F1 until he gets his eighth title (and trust me, I saw that myself), it would be great if Lewis Hamilton gets a retirement immunity in Career modes. I have seen saves in which he retired after one season, which makes no sense considering he still has that fire in him that makes him want to go on until he reached his goal.
- Maybe a new track. I've been waiting for a modern F1 game with the Nürburgring or Hanoi, both of which are impressive tracks. Whatever track makes the cut, I want to see it in F1 24 as well.
- Fixing the remaining bugs, especially one that had me stop playing My Team, which is getting an engine failure with Standard fault types, which is supposed to prevent it from happening.
This is the only way to get F1 23 back to what it was at launch, and who knows? Maybe EA SPORTS will take the suggestions to heart and give F1 23 the last big treatment to finally make it a great F1 game.
Let's hope for the best.
Good day,
Nico
