F1 2024 - the worst dev quality to date?
For those that hVe been playing f1 games longer than me, is it the same bad experience year on year? I started in Dec 2023 with f23 and then preordered 24. I have never seen such a bad quality ...

I do have to admit this year has been the worst ive seen since i first played f1 2010. It’s been frustrating from both sides it would seem
What kills me in this game is the incnosisnency of driving from patch to patch. Since 2-3 released the tyres are gone after 2 laps and I slide like a maniac. Impossible to drive like this. That was not the case before. Every patch bring new broken things.
Without doubt, F124 has and continues to be poor. Rushed out with very little attention to detail with obvious bugs that should never have been in the game if it had been properly tested in the first place.
All EA have done since taking over is fill the game series with gimmicks that absolutely NOBODY is interested whatsoever. Fanzone, stickers and F1 World just show how far detached they are from actually understanding what everyone wants to see. They just do not listen to any feedback back at all.
F124 has the worst handling model, the least customisation, the most bugs, the worst engine sounds, tacky pointless and unrealistic content. Less helmet designs. Repetitive engineer audio. Invisible bumps in tracks, to which they can't fix. The worst AI with game breaking DRS trains.
Tell me, is it any wonder why customers are complaining and completely fed up?
Until they start listening and actually improve the base core element of the game, with more focus on alignment with real F1 content rather than the gimmicks. This game franchise under EA will continue to loose customers year on year.
The time and resources spent on some of the things they perceive as important such as Fanzone, stickers and F1 world can be used to make a more realistic, accurate and immersive experience for the players.
I hope all the deserved criticism of F124 has had a profound impact on dramatically improving the game going forward. But I doubt it!
For balance I have loved playing f124. Yes I acknowledge issues and as a pc/wheel/ single player career mode I recognise there are issues on controllers/ multiplayer etc. That I just don’t see. However I think that handling model is very good, the whole r and d element, and I love the increasing of the ers sophistication as a tool to race with. And some of the criticisms about the handling being changed was because of customer feedback so in some ways EA are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. I also don’t agree with the criticisms of the dev and Qa team, I’m sure they do their best within constraints of time/resource/product planning that are put on them. I would 100% agree that the peripheral nonsense like f1 world should be got rid off and the time/talent invested in the core simulation of f1 and f2.
@Cpayne32 both sides? What do the Devs have to frustrated about? They have done nothing to try and improve this game. Community feedback has been completely ignored both before and after release, so they can't be upset over that.
Neither Codemasters or EA have shown any remorse for the state of this game. The only thing they have to frustrated about is that the fans aren't putting up with their nonsense anymore and it'll cost them the licence.
