[Feedback] F1® 24 - Share your thoughts

17 pages in, I know this post will be a needle in a haystack and never be seen, but here goes:

As someone who has Pre-Ordered every single game in the series since F1 2010 and poured 200-300 hours into each one, I'd like to think I am an experienced F1 gamer, and I'm someone who has put a lot of my time, money and trust in Codemasters, so please listen!

- League Racing

My biggest enjoyment with these games have come from being part of a league racing community, Racing in league full of like minded players and setting out to complete a long season of racing where every result matters and contributes to a championship Challenge.

The "League Racing" menu in game needs an overhaul. I don't think many people use it as they prefer to host their own standings and operate via Discord.

Is there an easy way to export race results and data into Excel or Racenet for Leagues to update faster. I know this is possible with the UDP telemetry? But how can it be made user friendly and make the most of this info? How can it be linked with Discord??

League racers are your hardcore player base. The ones who pour more hours and time into the game than anyone and the ones who will still be playing right up until the next game's launch. Look after them!

- Racenet

This is a GREAT feature that not a lot of people know about... But why can we not see this telemetry data in Time Trial? Can we not view it in the garage menu? It would help us make quick adjustments to setup in the session. Perhaps being able to compare team mate data in practice sessions of career mode would be nice!

Again, can we export this data to Excel or Discord??

- Setups

I like the direction that setups are going. This is where you guys have done a good job. But it's a shame that most circuits have a 1 setup fits all "meta" and a lot of these options do not represent real F1. Tyre Pressures for example seem to do nothing. In previous games, just run all 4 tyres on minimum, and now on F1 24 for some reason, max them out! 

More needs to be done here!! 

- ERS modes

These were shamefully packaged this year as a "new feature" but they were in the game a few years ago, and at the time Lando Norris stated on a stream that "This from Codemasters, the going up and down modes every corner is Bull......" That's your cover star saying what you have put in game is not realistic or representative of how ERS really works for a real driver. so why is it in the game like that? Not only is it unrealistic, it is tedious and has to be changed corner to corner every lap to exploit lap time. Please give us something closer to what the real drivers will use during a race..... 

.... and stop the Race Engineer audio telling us about the ERS modes every time we leave the garage. It's so annoying!! We know!! First few races, fair enough, but you have an achievement for completing a set number of races, so I know the game knows how many we have raced. We don't need to keep being told about new ERS modes after 10 races.

Also, if they do have to stay, can we display on screen what mode we are in? It's on the MFD, but that menu keeps flicking automatically to the tyre temps every 20 seconds. It's distracting an d annoying. 

- Pit Stops

I guess there isn't a lot you can do to give the player more control without creating mayhem in the pitlane. But the ability to change tyres quickly in Qualifying without being pushed back into the garage would be nice. Especially with the ERS modes rendering longer runs pointless. Nobody likes mini-games either so please never do that!!! Timing the braking and entry/exit is just fine, good job!

- F2

i LOVE F2, I watch all the races and have favourite drivers. I love that they're in the game. but why can't we get the latest season contents at launch? Why do we need to wait 4-5 months after launch to play the current season? The F2 car is a lot of fun to drive!

- F3

A lot of time and resources were spent creating Supercars for F1 22-23, and nobody wanted or used them... So the possibility is there to give us another car to drive. Please include F3!! ]

This not only offers players another formula of car to drive, its also a good starting point for a more immersive and longer career mode, helps new players get up to speed with the cars, offers up to 30 new young drivers to play as or use in My Team. Leagues would certainly love this to have F3-2-1 leagues.

Players are begging for Classic Cars, and this would be amazing, they've always been fun in previous games, but I understand that licensing is costly, and unless you can include a large range of cars from similar seasons then performance differences make them difficult to setup meaningful races with... 

The F3 car is soec, just 1 handling model. Please consider bringing F3 to the game.

- Custom Calendars/DLC tracks

For longevity, please give us some classic tracks to use. It would be ideal for leagues and long term career modes to have some variety. A lot of tracks have been made by Codemasters and lost over the years. We had tracks that didn't feature in the current season before, and we've had classic tracks like Estoril back on F1 2013, so it should be possible!!

Sepang, Hiockenheim, Nurburgring, Valencia, Brands Hatch, Istanbul, Jerez, Vietnam, South Korea, India..... They've all been in the games before! Bring some back....

France, Portimao, China.... Those short layouts and even old layouts like Albert Park would be cool to have options for...

I know people would even pay £10 for a track pack DLC. 

- DLC/Microtransaction/customisable Items

Why was F1 24 so bare of content? Why did you give us an empty store? Where were all the assets from F1 23? Why give us 18,000 pitcoin for pre-ordering at £89.99  and then give us nothing to spend it on? A couple of items have been added in 5 months, but with inflated prices to use up the pitcoin on fewer items. That's not good!! 

This is an F1 game. Nobody wants sofas. lampshades and 40 pairs of Puma shoes for your menu character. 

We DO want helmets and car liveries. Thing's that we see on track when we are RACING. I've been league racing for over a decade, and I'd actually managed to use the same helmet design and colours for 3 games running. which is SO GOOD!! I made it my own signature. It was gone in F1 24 though..... 

A lot of other drivers do the same. But 5 months after launch, go online and 90% of drivers are all using the same basic helmet.... 

WE WILL PAY YOU for classic track packs, helmets and car liveries..... Get them in the store and you WILL make money!

- Tyre Wear/Damage

Going back to on-track action, we need to get the tyre wear and temps under control. They do not behave in a realistic way. No amount of smooth driving can stop 1 tyre massively overheating. Why is that? Also, why can't we have flat spots? Have a consequence for locking up.... There are settings for immersion and sim damage. Let's improve that!

- Rain Spray

This used to be VERY good back on F1 2010-2013, 2 generations ago on the Xbox 360. How does it look worse now? Driving an inch behind an opponent in heavy rain looks as clear as day. No spray at all.... Wet weather driving is supposed to being it's difficulties and offer challenges with visibility and driving lines.... 

- Wet Weather Time trial

Why was this removed? It's become a common moan amongst our league whenever we get a full wet race. Usually because people think it's too hard, they don't have a setup etc.... That's because the place they could practice and improve has been removed?? Why?? Bring it back!!

- F1 World

I think it's pretty unanimous that NOBODY wants or plays F1 World. I'm not interested in it. I don't care for the fact that it has destroyed Podium Pass. I don't know what 900 insight does, and I'm not particularly interested. It's a boring mode!! 

- Podium Pass

I used to enjoy unlocking helmets and liveries and would happily play the game to unlock some extra XP to get an item I wanted. Filling it with 90% F1 World things has lost my interest. I no longer care for it. Putting a VIP helmet at level 1, and then putting the free Helmet at level 50 where most players with jobs/school cannot reach is just cheeky and disrespectful..... 

Then you tell players who have complained about the lack of customisable items that they're right there in podium pass?? Come on.....

Get back to how things were pre F1 22 please!! 

- Online play

I stopped racing in Ranked lobbies after F1 2015 when the games switched to a hopper system. It's become tedious trying to find a race, and most of the time it just places you into a lobby with 2 other drivers who leave after turn 1, leaving you to race AI.... Where are the options for 25-35-50% online races too? 5 lap sprints just encourage people to have a mad sash to the line causing crash after crash and rage quitting as soon as they spin because they can no longer win... This is not F1, and it's not fun.... 

Let's do more with the penalty detection system. Racenet has so much telemetry available. Surely you can see who is still at full throttle late in a braking zone, or who is steering fully left or right into an opponent on a straight? Let's punish the bad drivers and encourage cleaner racing. Encourage longer endurance races that requires strategy and skill rather than a mad dash demolition derby 5 lap race. 

- Price

I've been loyal and pre-ordered every single game since F1 2010. I paid £89.99 to pre-order F1 24, and it was like a slap in the face. not only was the game borderline unplayable, but it was 40% off just 3 weeks later making me feel ripped off. These games are not cheap. They are not even averaged priced. they are actually one of the most expensive on the market, and the quality of product DOES NOT reflect that!! I CANNOT accept that, and i won't be pre-ordering F1 25 for the first time in 16 years!

I got nothing for the extra £20.. Some liveries that can only be used in last year's game, and only in Time trial? Why? 

18,000 pitcoin, but an empty store? Do you want me to spend that on VIP podium pass, so I can get even more F1 world things that i don't care for? No thanks...

No bonus tracks, cars, helmets or liveries? 

A My Team mode designed for players to create their own unique team and appearance but only giving us ONE helmet and livery to use? I put off starting a My Team save for months waiting for new liveries, and they never came, so I didn't play the mode.... 

I don't mind paying extra if the quality of product is there. If there is plenty of items and incentives to buy. Offer 2-3 DLC tracks as part of the Champions Edition. I guarantee everyone will pay!! 

Nobody will ever read that, but this thread has EVERYTHING you need to make the game a success! Faith is at an all time low and you'll need to win me back if you want a copy of F1 25 sold!
