Add 25% ranked in next update

Hi EA,

Today’s update makes it feel like a new game, thank you.  


Can you please add 25% ranked to the next update, 5 laps just doesn’t make me feel esporty.  We had it on F1 23, but now its gone. That’s like FC24 UT changing from a 12 minute match to only 5 without half time, could you even imagine.

Thanks

    Please, please add 25% ranked games, or possibility to choose between 5 laps or 25% distance!

    Thanks.

  • I pray EA actually sort this soon because ranked is just awful with 5 lap races.

    Actually 5 lappers is perfectly fine for ranked races. you must qualify well and not make mistakes in qual. i have had great battling in the 5 lap ranked races. even sometimes 5 laps seems too long like when winning by a good margin and doing the same track multiple races in a row

  • I understand that not everyone have time to do long race but taking away the pitstop in F1 basicly just makes its feels like playing any arcade-ish racing game now if 25% is too long (which i think its still abit short tbh lol) at least make it so u can have a shortish race but mayb up the tyre deg ? so we still somehow have to pit atleast once in a shortish race??????

    Why not add an option for 25%, 35% or 50% ranked races? Some people like settling into a competitive race and not just flying around divebombing 5 lappers… 

    At the moment, I avoid these 5 lap races as it just attracts the idiots who just smash their way through the field. That’s not racing!

    A 25% race is not too long. It’s about the same as a good round of Call of Duty. If you don’t have 20 mins to race, then you don’t have time for an online game! 
    5 lap races just encourage the casual crash fest idiots to divebomb. Race craft goes out the window! 
    If you want Ranked to be competitive F1 racing, it needs longer races that reward good driving and race strategy. 
    If people just want to play a 5 lap F-around then make that Unranked! There’s nothing competitive about a 5 lap race

    the ranked 5 lap races you have to have a perfect setup and do near perfect lap in the 1 lap qual to start near the front. its a must. and then you must drain most of the ERS to get away from everyone lap 1 if you can if you are near the front.

    I copied setups from the guys at the top of the TT leaderboards and just did very minor tweaks and use it in races seems to work great.

    I have been finding good 25 and 35 lobbies in multi gp its good enough for me.

  • Just to try and revitalise this thread.....

    I'm surprised this still hasn't been looked at.

    I've just ran 5 quick races and been smashed into on 4 of them.😠

    It's just nowhere near as enjoyable as F1 23, having to factor in the pit stop and (slightly) look after the tyres.

    They just need to bring the 25% back to discourage the bumper cars approach!
