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.
Thanks man. I couldn't agree with what you said. And you're right, give it up with these gimmicks. Like Fanzone (what is that? A joke) Couldn't care one bit, F1 world to me, has potential to be good. But, not what it is with 24. At least with 23 there was a ton of content and it just kept coming and coming. The AI all had different liveries, etc. I literally have nothing in 24 to race, except build my career. I truly don't want to give EA sports a penny more, but I'm sure I'll fall victim to F125 when the time comes. Here's to hoping they make it right with that. The silence is infuriating from EA with all these complaints.
I can assure you that while it may seem like there is silence, every single comment is being read by the team

Just reading is a passive approach. I see a certain reality: what people write here and what is happening to the game, a complete disconnect. I am not even sure there is any value in sharing a well articulated and constructive feedback…there are many such replies here, but I did not see any reaction to is and I did not see any feedback being taken seriously. Ferrari engine is an example of late or the tyre deg.
@LightPilgrimI'm absolutely convinced that although some of this thread may have been read, absolutely nothing will change. F125 requires a whole new approach in my opinion but with the core of the game working as it should.
The main problem here is that there seems to be a huge disconnect between what we as F1 fans would like in the game and what EA see as important.
If only they used their recourses better to improve the core base of the game and focused more on real F1 content related things, instead of this utterly awful fictional nonsense they keep drumming up.
It's more important to improve and fix a lot of the basic content that has become increasingly stale.
I can appreciate that and thanks for your reply. I truly hope you're all hearing us, because I myself think you're on to something with F1 world, only problem is the content for me and your ai.... This whole fanzone crap (excuse my language) is garbage, we just wanna race man. I like the idea of having my own car and my own control of how it looks and drives. Content, content, content. F1 2023 I couldn't even keep up. Why is the content far and few between with F1 world 24? Why are all the ai's cars the same livery? They all follow each other like a snake majority of the time. I don't get how you released last years with so much and this year there's nothing. Are you guys still working on this game? Can you promise us anything when it comes to content at the least.
You were ready. What happened?
It's not that difficult.
Give us an optional simulation. Without autopilot in the pits, weather on TT like back then, telemetry data in the pits. That's nothing new.
The sound of the engines like back then, with audible gear changes from the driver's own driving, also nothing new.
Rain, which also looks like rain with visible drying tracks, spray from vehicles driving ahead, also nothing new. It was all there 20 years ago.
Hey, if I want shirts, shorts and furniture, I play Sims. None of that has any place in F1.
WRC isn't the yellow of the egg either, but there's still some feeling there. Why don't you crawl up to their floor and at least ask how they make their damn sound? You're all CMs. Make something of it and work together!
