Community Manager@milky669You're definitely not alone. F124 is extremely poor compared to F121 and F123. I wasn't a fan of F122 which I thought was terrible, but still better than F124!
There are so many fundamentals they have got so wrong in this year's game. From the ground up they have made a complete and utter hash of it.
The only thing I enjoy in the game are wet races, the handling in the wet feels spot on, excellent. They have basically stripped the game bare, destroyed handling for controller players, decimated the store, created rubbish AI , TV replay sounds albeit sound great do not match the visuals, invisible bumps within some tracks, AI that have the same impossible acceleration out of the corners same as F122 and barge into you at race starts and lock wheels again same as F122.
Without doubt there is a common trend here. The team who made F122 also made F124. In future I honestly wouldn't bother, as in my opinion the other team who developed both F121 and F123 are miles ahead. That's why I'm more hopeful for F125.
EA are fixated on prioritising gimmicks and unrealistic content and it's simply not working. The sooner the better they realise this it will benefit everyone.
All we want as F1 fans is a game that actually represents F1 in real life. Not F1 world, not Fanzone (utterly pointless and a waste of time), no endless pairs of headphones and Puma shoes.
Make the handling suitable for all players.
Improve the AI.
Improve the sounds to match the visuals.
Improve the weather system.
Improve engineer chat.
Put in a helmet editor.
And for the love of god, test the damn thing for ridiculous bugs before release.
The handling was great when it was released, so many content creators and F1 drivers liked it very much. I don't know why they even touched it. The different traction control settings were also right. Now it's too controller-heavy. As a steering wheel user, you have disadvantages. In all F1 games since F1 2019, everyone in our league was faster with the medium traction control than with the full. One managed to drive without it at all, all the others have now switched on the full and only switch to the medium when it rains. The differences are that serious.
