Community ManagerFirstly I hope the comments posted here are listened to and not just passed on to the development team and ignored.
Granted some of the complaints have been recognised and the team have improved various things.
The absolute frustration for me at least comes in the form of the gimmicks that EA seem to be primarily focused on rather than what everyone has been asking for. Seriously who cares one iotta about sunglasses, headphones, stickers and fanzone?
F1 world needs to be completely binned. Completely fictitious nonsense and a waste of time and resources again.
By decimating the store of race wear items, mainly helmets in F124 is completely unacceptable. Just look at the post I created months ago "why only 3 helmets" to which now has been closed! Look and listen to the feedback EA!
Adding in another two helmets to the store to try and make amends isn't good enough. You could have at least added old helmet designs from F121,22,23 which costs almost zero recourses but you chose to ignore those requests.
The Ferrari engine sound since the last update isn't great. The F2 cars sound great, so why can't you do the same for F1? Granted each car has different characteristics in terms of engine sounds, but surely it can't be that hard to replicate?
AI DRS trains are terrible and completely spoil the immersion. Why wasn't this tested properly by your development team prior to release? You changed the way the ERS works and never retrained the AI to use it. This is absolute basic stuff. If the dirty air element was adjusted as requested by a lot of people, then I am absolutely convinced this would go a long way to resolve the issue.
Handling, as bad as it was I fully understand the difficulties of it after David left. At least now it's much better, but still not great.
No start light bug, dry tyres in wet races? No wet races in two player career, no safety car in two player career. Seriously how on earth has this ever passed your QC testing team? Tells me the game was never properly tested in the first place.
With it being a yearly franchise I'm not expecting huge leaps every year. But what I and everyone else is expecting is a massive improvement for F125, with much more care and attention to detail.
What I expect for F125.
Improved handling for all players, wheel and controller.
Improved AI to ensure racing is realistic and more immersive.
Way more helmets to choose from. Or even better a basic helmet editor, how hard can that be? Bin F1 World and use the recourses to implement one. I bet absolutely everyone would want that.
Engine sounds have to be better. The TV camera sounds are actually excellent, but it does not match the car visually on track at times.
I'd like to see less pointless stuff like stickers and fanzone. Just absolute drivel that no one cares about.
Maybe bring back classic cars.
More immersive things within career mode, like team briefing after each session etc. maybe driving the car out of the pits to line up on the grid before the race. It's the little things like this that can make it more realistic and immersive. Focus more on the racing aspect rather than things that don't belong in an F1 game.
And for the love of god stop creating games with the same repetitive bugs!
Finally, if you're going to charge £90 for F125, at least produce a game that works and one that has been thoroughly tested, even if it's a later release.
@EA_Groguet New thread but still the same problem.
Personalization and content are still at the same point !
Almost non-existent content with liveries that are unfortunately very ugly. 👎
Fish and sun on the equipment no thanks! The style of helmets for example is the identity of the driver and therefore of the player so this must be pushed. 🤷♂️
How ? ⬇️
Firstly, with a Livery Editor. 💯
More in-depth and realistic customization choices like on the helmets which had to be fully modifiable including the visor colors for example.
A community sharing system would also be good so that livery creators share their work with the community. 🌍
The helmets in (Career) mode are not realistic at all because they are devoid of sponsors (Official Team) and artistic possibilities.
More regular and completed content.
Whether in terms of elements or even special liveries.
This is not new, these problems have persisted for years, but we must admit that this year is catastrophic at this level ! 😵💫
We talked a lot about the manipulation but then the content was a total failure for me.
The worst part of the story is that the champion edition is also offered to have more Pitcoins, which are used, among other things, to buy elements for My Team or the Career while it is empty ! 💸❌️
And that's just unacceptable. 🥶
Hoping that the team reacts to our requests on this subject, even if it is too late for F1 24, at least make the effort for next year with F1 25 which I hope will reconcile the community with real adrenaline F1 games 🙏
My experience is this:
1. I feel like a beta tester. This game was launched in May and at the end of September you still experiment with how it should work (driving, engine sound, etc)
2. I was trying to master the mechanics of driving only to see it change several times and all stats being erased
3. the worst thing of all is the Ferrari sound issue that came with 1.10. Why would you do that? No word of when it will be reversed to normal
looks like the whole game is an experiment. I would be happy if you just keep it like it is, let people get used to it and bring back the Ferrari sound.
but I also have a learning. I am never going to preorder a game ever again and when it launches, I will wait for reviews to say the game is now good enough to play. Only then I might buy it. Not going to be a QA for you. I am not paid for it.
