EA, start a thread in this forum for the suggestions that are being considered.

I'm actually quite shocked that this forum was created by EA. For the past three years, player feedback has been completely ignored. There have been countless number of changes/suggestions aimed directly at the game developers that go unacknowledged. Every single suggestion for new features to add or aspects of the game that should change, even things that have been overwhelmingly well-received by the F1 Game community as things that would be improvements to the game experience have never been implemented. In fact, several aspects that the community do not want changed are often the only aspects that get changed with each new patch release. 

I'm sorry, but there's not been a single community-driven change made to the past 3 releases of this game, and the things the community explicitly state that they do not want any changes made to them, often are the things that end up being changed.

There's zero evidence that EA has seriously considered implementing a single community suggestion. When several "updates" to the game include things that the community have been very vocal about them not being changed, it becomes glaringly obvious that EA does not value or pay attention to community feedback at all. 

If this forum is a legitimate effort to listen to the community and isn't an attempt to trick players into thinking that EA actually does value community feedback, there needs to be active engagement on this thread by the developers so that we know our voices are being heard at the very least. Otherwise this is just another dishonest tactic make people believe that their feedback will actually be listened to, considered, and possibly even implemented into the game when in reality, EA/Codies has no intention of even looking at any of these suggestions. They just want people to think they are.

  • @TH3_Singularity Codemasters have always had a suggestion forum. Even on their own forums. They have never commented on any suggestion made. But I know for fact on codemasters forum they would read the suggestion boards. As you could see a list of everyone who was online. Codemasters staff were indicated. I would click on any names I wasn’t familiar with and more often than not they were viewing specific suggestions.

    As we don’t have the same feature on these boards I can’t say they still do the same. But would make sense that threy would still browse suggestions. As it’s a free and easy source of ideas. But I also know any suggestion here that gets alittle traction. Our CMs pass it on to codemasters

    Other reasons why they do not reply to suggestions. If a dev replied liking and discussing suggestion. Then decides to use it. It could become problematic. As OP off suggestion seeing his idea in game where a dev like and discussed it on a public forum. Could decide they deserve and try getting compensated. So developers will not acknowledge suggestions especially ones they want to use.

    Some years ago I hadt to contact Ubisoft. Found page with their E-mail address. Along with a message that said that any game ideas or suggestions sent to Ubisoft via E-mail are given freely and if used by Ubisoft will not be acknowledged or entitle you to any reward

    Majority of people would be happy with seeing their idea in game. Unfortunately theirs a minority that will feel entitled
