And after this mobile game what awaits us?

I won't be pre-ordering for the first time in 15 years, and I currently have no plans to buy F1 25 after feeling very ripped off this year. I will wait for the reviews and first few patches before I even think about it. F1 24 has really broken my trust and faith in the series.

We've had some great games over the years, and some not so much... At least the shambles that were F1 2014 &15 had the excuse of being made during the console generation change, so it was understandable, and they were £39.99 games.... Not £89.99!!!

I just want a game that feels authentic on track and functions how it should. i don't care for fancy modes. I just want a solid and authentic F1 racing game on track!!

I exclusively play the game for competitive league racing once or twice a week and have done since F1 2010. 

I don't care for F1 World, and career mode is just stale and repetitive. My Team was fun, but the lack of customisation options have made it dull and expecting me to pay 7,500 pitcoin for a helmet or livery is an insult. 

When I load into a league race lobby with my friends and fellow drivers, I want to feel like an F1 driver competing each week for a Championship....

I don't expect a sim... I like the balance between sim and accessible.... But I want handling that feels like I'm driving an F1 car... Not a hovercraft or a Mario Kart. 

I want the consistency in handling. Realistic race strategies and experiences. Proper pit stops. Punishing gravel traps and damage model. Tyre models that can grain and degrade properly, even flat spot when you lock up, how is that still not a thing?? Bring back spray in the rain?? F1 2012 had incredible rain effects That was 12 years ago... What happened?.

Why not add F3 and give an authentic career mode progression from Young Academy affiliate to rising through the ranks Kimi Antonelli style to reaching F1 within a few seasons? That also adds 30 new young drivers for My Team!! A mode thats dead and needs a boost!!

My prediction is that F1 25 will simply be another copy and paste job, but they'll have Braking Point 3..... Maybe they'll bring back the sofas....

@Nellix82  It’s true that this year is a total failure !

Despite the few updates to the games, and some small content, we really have the feeling of emptiness, boredom and frustration on F1 24.

This is how I will summarize the game in its initial and current state.

There are problems at all levels, whether handling, graphics, Bug, Personalization and content.

The game is not only a copy and paste but has been sold to us like a dream once again with great promises and cinematics which are very far from reality.

For my part, not only is it sad for the franchise to reach this state on the games and more importantly it is disrespectful for the community, whether veterans of the franchise or new pilots.

They sell smoke and mirrors with promotion by MAX or LANDO, it is purely a 100% commercial game and for Business !

Not a whole game for the real community, no responses from the developers or even real changes to the game.

Guys seriously, if you're not interested in really working for our pleasure and frankness, give up everything instead of leading us on !

If this is true there may be better times ahead:

So basically looking at this, the downward trend in sales is since EA took over the franchise. This is what happens, with the introduction of sofas and living room lamps, along with the same repetitive bugs.

F124 has been by far the biggest flop and disappointment of them all. The annoying thing is, it's not like everyone is demanding a new game engine, although it would be nice and about time.

All people want each year is a steady improvement. With it being a yearly franchise we can't expect huge changes every time. But surely we should be getting much more value for money with F124?

How on earth did EA expect to have a successful sales total with F124 when the handling model was a disaster even from beta testing and hasn't really improved that much since. Then add in the complete decimation of store items and general basic customisation, not to mention the endless list of bugs that clearly should have been resolved months ago.

F125 must improve the handling model a lot and introduce a basic helmet editor to have any chance of being a success. In addition remove F1 world and maybe bring back classic F1 cars or something new that's actually relatable to real F1!

I'm afraid if things do not show a huge improvement for F125, they are in serious trouble and only a matter of time until another developer gets the licence.

"The F1 game series is under serious danger."

GOOD.

Hey there,

I understand there has been some frustration and, as you can see, we always allow you to communicate freely in our boards as long as it is under the Rules and Guidelines.

However, I request you not to upload rumors or false information as they don't contribute to the proper development of the conversation.

I would say that is a confirmation.

With how this game launched and the support afterwards. 

I sure won't be shedding any tears. 

Years of goodwill just down the drain.
