Forum Discussion
Just watched this video and fully agree 100%. F124 is poor and for many offers zero enjoyment.
People have had enough of not getting good value for money. I have been a loyal customer for years and pre-ordered with enthusiasm ever year. F124 cost me £90 and is a massive step backwards.
Never again will I pre-order again after F124, not a chance.
Sales are massively down and is it any wonder?
Handling for controller players is now awful.
AI DRS trains. Clearly never tested properly.
A lack of customisation, helmets removed from the store and placed behind a pay and grind system when the game isn't worth playing in the first place.
Repeated bugs year on year.
Is it any wonder sales are massively down?
If EA do not get their act together for F125, sales will plummet even more.
For the love of god, start listening to the community and your loyal customers. How can you make a game so much worse than previous years?
A total lack care and attention to detail. Just rushed out and not properly tested.
They have a chance to save the series and turn it around by dramatically improving the handling model for everyone not just those with wheels.
Get the AI better, improve the DRS trains and for goodness sake add more helmets and general customisation.
GOOD!! I'm so glad these guys are speaking up!! It's the only way EA/Codemasters will get the message, because it's clear they don't listen to us.....
Alex even says in that video that they tell him they don't like him being negative towards the game because it demotivates the devs.... Well, instead of crying about demotivation, buck up and create a game so good that people have nothing to complain about!!
I have pre-ordered every single game in the series since F1 2010. I bought an Xbox 360 back in 2009 JUST because of the up coming F1 game. I have poured hundreds of hours into each game. I have created a grown a successful league with friends and raced with people all over the world.... But I am so fed up and disgusted, having paid £89.99 for this absolute TRASH game, that for the first time in 15 years, I will not be buying the next game. It's a jumping off point for me. What has happened to this series???
The handling is the worst it's ever felt. It's not fun. I don't expect sim level handling and understand that it has to be accessible to all F1 fans, but it's impossible to take corners without the rear sliding all over the place. It's a lottery how the car will turn in.
The number of bugs in F1 24 is just not acceptable for a £90 game. It's not on! They're all very easy to replicate too. No start lights? No wet tyres to start a wet race?? Come on.... How on earth does that get missed? You just have to load the game to find it....
I recently got banned on here for complaining about the 7,500 pit coin priced helmet in the store..... Make of that what you will....
I am the customer. I'm not happy! I feel ripped off. I won't be buying the next game!
- @SDGMatt This year Codies seem very sensitive. Don’t think it’s EA. I was stripped off my champion status for a non game related matter. I’m too old to understand current day sensitivities and me not being able to keep my mouth shut about silly things that tickle me led to my demise. My own fault I should have known better. However EA had no problem with me having a little champion retired badge. But although I’ve posted countless posts overs the years criticising issues with the game, this year my criticism off game whilst having said badge upset cough cough and it was deemed me having badge was seriously problematic. And as Aarava and Alex mentioned they are expecting Codies to be upset. I expect this post will vanish and I’ll be sent to the cooler🙄
If thats the case. It won’t be because any community managers are trying to silence our complaints. Itll be because what I’ve said is problematic. However Alex and Aarava will be fine. Wont end welltaking them off their Christmas card list as Alex especially is well respected for his opinions by players, pros and other content creators. He wouldn’t have posted such a damning video if he wasnt positive we all feel the same wayNeither EA or Codemasters have ANY right to be upset over the criticism and no player should be silenced for speaking out. We are the customer and we were charged £89.99 for a mess of a game. The average game releases at £39-59 these days. So £89 is up there as one of the most EXPENSIVE Pre-Order releases out there, and the quality of content does NOT reflect that.
I’ve supported this series since 2009, and over the years I’ve loved every game, except 2014-15… They were just as bad as F1 24!!
I followed the developer diaries in the earlier games and understood that it was a smaller studio working in a tough game. But the passion and enthusiasm came across! I don’t see that now, and with EA backing the franchise, you really should expect a leap in quality. But it’s not there…. No innovation. Content stripped back and put behind a paywall. Pitcoin prices through the roof!!! Same old tired game engine and same bugs copy and pasted every year!!
People say they don’t blame the devs, but it’s those guys that are building the game! It really feels like they haven’t tested anything. I’m sick of hearing that bugs are being passed on to the devs, and then not hearing anything back! Patches come out that have more focus on cosmetic changes and silly F1 world content that NOBODY cares about.. I keep reading that the devs “cannot replicate” a bug, but players are experiencing them every time they load the game. It’s clear that they’re not testing, not playing their own game and the quality of product is just not good enough!and if you know the product has flaws and not at the level expected; don’t have the CHEEK to charge £89.99 for it.
