Firstly 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.

Customization is absolutely horrible this year especially the lack of options compared to what we had in the past. There should be some sort of editor in liveries, suits, and helmets. Every other racing game has it, and real world sponsors to truly create your style. Handling should be a thing that real drivers and engineers have input on, not content creators. Lets be honest 99% of the people that play this game have zero idea of how an actual F1/F2 cars handles or responds in the real world but we give into them year after year and it only seems to get worse. In youre own videos the drivers do with the engineers they are asked why are they driving like this and the response from the driver is oh thats how you have to in this game. I understand you cant get to the true level of realism due to what the game is but have to do better. BETA this game for longer stop making us pay for a BETA game, we have had quite a few updates that have fixed very few things and come with even more issues. F1 World is a waste of space from what Ive seen, I gave it a shot last year and its not it.Podium past needs to be reverted, it has too much F1 world content if its sprinkled in great but for the most part its all about F1 world. Also the recycling of content in the pass and the store needs to stop. Unless I'm the only one that doesn't want zombie poses and fish liveries like come on this is supposed to an arcade sim not a children's game leave that to Fortnite Upgrades need to be a bit more realistic, teams aren't putting out upgrades like that and when you're in the second season and the car is fully upgraded its not fun (I Know you can turn it down but still that puts you late season 2 early season 3)To sum it up, better physics and more customization options. (I didnt proof read, late for a meeting lol)

@EA_Groguet F1 world is not a mode i touch anymore because i find it too easy and unrewarding.My team NEEDS some attention because i haven’t even a competitive season as there was no reason to.The F2 cars both last years editions and this years are fun to drive but having to wait 4 months for the new cars is something that needs to be looked atDriver’s career is better with the improvements but I feel more transfers between teams need to happen.The challenge career’s aren’t of major interest because there little challenge in terms of easily being able to manipulate the resultsCustomisation is awful. Having so few liveries is not good.Overall id say it is a big step back from 23 and id very much expect a major improvement for 25

@EA_GroguetHey brother hope you well.Ok I’ll make this short. 😂F1 world has got to go.This game being series specific and content light. Is what it is. We don’t mind paying for it being light on content. But trying to monetise this game is not going to happen. There’s just not enough meat on it.. Plus these games generally appeal to older gamers that remember a time when games weren’t monetised and wont fall for such egregious attempts to empty our pockets so EA/ Codies need to admit defeat.Except there’s one way to successfully monetise this game that nearly all off us would be happy to pay for. TRACK DLC. My idea would be for codies to pick 9 or so tracks that are not on that years roster. 3 months into game cycle drop a 2 track paid dlc and then another 3 months later. Following year do the same using different 4 tracks. This way players won’t have to buy the same tracks year on year as Codies can rotate the tracks and also have time to make updates to those tracks in the couple off years they are not in use.Needs to add livery and helmet designer as part off the game. Codies have access to both NFS and WRC livery designers. Plus the one they used for F1 mobile game so shouldn’t be a huge issue adapting it for this gameTeaching the Ai needs a whole new curriculum. Ie the way it races us and eachother plus the damage model needs to go back to how it used to be. Which I reported last year and the dev team are well aware off. Last two years it’s gone backwards. Once a leading Ai in racing games will fall behind its competitors next year if it doesn’t improve. It’s soul destroying. 700-1000 hours every year I play this game. But because off the bad Ai. Last year just 350 hours and this year a shocking 44 hours and I’m done with it.(hence why I hardly post anymore. Which will most likely please a few people) Compared to Cricket 24 that’s a buggy AA game at best. Last 2 months I’ve rather played that and put 300 hours in. No monetisation in that game and despite its short falls and a boring sport the gameplay is solid.Codies should have prioritised my team over new career.They need to find an away to make the career modes last longer. It’s currently ten years which would be fine but you get everything done in 3 years. In terms of how car update works. Max out a car be it human or ai controlled team should never be a thing. Should be ups and downs year on year.Needs a calendar customisation.That’s off the top off my head. I’ve been warning EA from the day I was made champion about the state off the game and players opinions off it. As you know. And said what needed to be done. But as much as the community team were willing to engage with me. It’s unfortunate those that make decisions at EA/Codemasters didn’t listen. Ignoring my all knowingness 😂.

1. At a high level, I think the entire project and release lifecycle of the F1 series needs to change. Ideally it should be a two-year release schedule with a roster/schedule/livery/car model DLC in between game releases. And both dev teams need to be using the same builds of the games at all times during development.2. For the entire series, but for F1 24 in particular, it's very clear that there was no meaningful testing done. I'm assuming it's because there wasn't enough time to do the amount of testing the game needed, but again, that goes back to the release cycle for these games. You absolutely can't give these games the amount of time they need for testing by having a new release every year. When things get missed in one game, those things eventually snowball, because the pace of releases doesn't allow for time to slow down and actually fix things before having to shove another somewhat-finished game out the door.3. Listening to your players is important, but what's more important is: ACT on the feedback that players are giving you. It's clear that no one who had early access to F1 24 had good feelings about it. That feedback should've been heeded, and the game should have spent 4-6 more months in development and testing at LEAST. We don't mind waiting longer in order to get a better game.4. Stop with trying to reinvent the wheel with game modes (no pun intended). People want Career, they want MyTeam, they want online (casual and ranked), and they want historical content. AMS2 is absolutely destroying this franchise with historical content, and they're on the verge of releasing another huge update. 5. You're making the games pretty, but not fun. Visual immersion is great, but there's a reason games like iRacing are still the go-to's. It may be dated, but it's stable, and it works without fail. Every year these games get prettier, but more things break. F1 24 is less about one or two BIG things that make the game not fun to play, and more about lots and lots of little issues that add up to make the game experience dull, frustrating, confusing, and tiresome.6. Either fix the persistent issues and bugs that have been reported for years, or start developing a new engine for the game. It's clearly not working as intended anymore, no matter how many new coats of paint get slapped on every year. There's been no indication or action that we've seen as players that give the impression anyone knows how to actually fix these bugs anymore.7. If you update a handling model, tire model, etc. then you need to do thorough testing to see how that affects everything else on the cars (DRS, ERS, tire wear/temps, etc.). Again, this just goes back to testing these games to the degree they need to be tested. For example, running a 5 lap race as a User Acceptance Test isn't good enough.8. The gimmicks are old. We don't care that you got Max Verstappen to give feedback on the handling. All we care about is having handling that that feels good. We don't care about Fan Zone or GP Voting (even though I think these are fun ideas). All we care about is having an online experience that's stable and fun to play with other people. We don't care that Lance Stroll's face is rendered in beautiful 4k textures with ray tracing and subsurface scattering. All we care about is seeing his avatar make the same kind of mistakes he does in real life (and that goes for ALL driver avatars).On one hand, I could keep sharing thoughts all day about what could and should have been done differently with F1 24. But I've been sharing my thoughts in great detail the last 4 months, and nothing's changed. And nothing is going to change at a corporate level, because EA isn't going to invest the time and money to allow CM the ability to permit better testing or create a new game engine. So I'm at the point where I need to stop wasting my energy and time on it and move on to other games/sims. I'm tired of reporting the same issues every year, only to see them pop up the year after, and the year after. We all are.

For the future. Separate simulation from arcade consistently, you can have both. But separate them into lists and leagues. Bringing everything under one hat only creates frustration on both sides.
Players with FFB steering wheels usually have different preferences than players with gamepads. Separate the two and only let them compete against each other if they are aware of these differences. I think this general crossover is the first big mistake. I certainly don't want to accept compromises with a steering wheel because an opponent is using a pad. In that case, let us simply decide for ourselves who we want to play with. And then make that visible beforehand, including the racing line. I use it for braking points, for example.
Finally add a rain mode for TT or at least a test track where you can try out your car, with clutch and pit lane. It's all been done before.
Even earlier there was telemetry in the pits. ALT+TAB makes the game unsafe and it takes a really long time to get through even with a GB line and a fast PC, extremely uncomfortable.
I can only say one thing, it's no fun.

F1 World is superfluous, if I wanted to give someone shirts I'd play Sims, simulation is completely lacking, weather is extremely bad uLazy answer for an unpleasant topic.
That's my impression for other topics too.
Somehow there doesn't seem to be any motivation left to tackle commutity issues. Let the next team take care of it, we got the beta rolling for a totally overfull price. Sorry, that's my impression. Or why are we being asked such a stupid question almost six months after release? Do you really want to change something about 24 or milk the now dead cow again?
Sorry, you messed up with 23, but this time you really hit the wall with 24. You can't get out of this number. and so on ...

EA definitely won't see it this way, but the correlation is so abundantly clear, that since they took over this game franchise, it has gone rapidly downhill faster than the overpowered AI in F122!
There are so many issues and things that absolutely have to be improved. I've never known any other game of any type of genre on the planet with as many bugs. Additionally some of the bugs the game launched with is an absolute joke.
Literally rushed out with zero care and attention and then charge the loyal customers £90! Oh and while they're at it, let's destroy the online store and make people grind for helmets and race wear.
My absolute biggest gripe since EA took over and destroyed it, is their absolute persistence in coming up with gimmicks and unrealistic material that doesn't belong in specifically an F1 game.
If they just concentrated on doing the basics correct instead of wasting recourses on the nonsense they keep churning out, then everyone would be delighted.
F125 has to be a night and day improvement in absolutely every area throughout. From the addition of more helmets, more general race wear, dramatically improved AI, better engine sounds and a much improved handling model, just to name a few.
My bet is all the suggestions within this thread will be completely ignored and they will dream up another load of fictional twaddle to try and implement into F125.
I'm afraid if that is the case then F125 will sell even less than F124. It's absolutely in their own interests to deliver a game that actually works and to implement what people have been asking for.

I will briefly summarize my wishes once again:
- A real simulator mode with pit lane and always clutch
- A real telemetry in game without ALT+Tab via mods, it's all been there since GP4 and F1 99
-Remove F1 World, put TT and co back in the main menu, reintroduce rain mode for TT. Or just a test track with weather, where the pit can also be driven without autopilot
-If tire temps and brakes bring a new physics, make it tangible, not such a wishy-washy between consoles and wheels. Make 2 modes out of it and let them play separately.
-Sound in the replay again away from sampling, idea good, implementation completely wrong, it never fits.
-If multiplayer, separate consoles or pads from wheels, both under one hat will not work without compromises for one party
-The whole crossover idea is nice, but won't work for all sides, the hardware is just too different. Make it optional somehow. If PC vs console, yes, but then selectable and filterable in lists. All the lists are wrong anyway. Assist is at eye level against without assist. Ranking list shows everything. totally stupid. Hm, simulation is never wanted by default.
Too bad the license went to such a philosophy -.-

@IanM282 I have the same feeling as you have. I too bet that nothing here will be taken into account to improve the next game.

However, I can't believe FOM seeing the game going so much downhill, will just let the license stick with them, or at least give a serious warning that something has to change.

@TomasSlb24Agreed, EA should just leave Codemasters to it and not get involved. They simply don't have a clue when it comes to F1 games.
Everything they have tried to create and implement has been a complete disaster. F1 fans want as much realism from a game as possible and not gimmicks.
Just look at the huge downward spiral since they took over.

I would like to take up the cudgels for CM:
When the release came, with 1.2, I was blown away, visually nothing had changed, the first feeling for the car, well, it was snappy, very direct and it was something completely different. Mind you, I drive on the PC with a Fanatec. But it was really cool with it, somehow different.
Then came 1.3, I was sick of it, I wanted to have the 1.2 again, only not quite so twitchy on the rear axle.
Then came 1.6 and so on, it slowly became like f1 23 or worse.
1.2 wasn't perfect, but it was fun, the car was suddenly direct at last, it went well around tight bends and didn't make any mistakes on the rear axle, it was a completely new feeling and it was really fun. Slowly a trace of it is coming back, but it's not the same feeling anymore.
I would like to thank all console and GamePad gamers for this. At last there was an F1 title on the market that was cool purely in terms of driving. Now there's hardly anything left except a snorey title that nobody is happy with anymore. Thank you EA/CM for having unskillfully missed all the flies you were aiming for. You really had a good slap in the face. Send one get one, once with professionals

@IanM282 @TomasSlb24
It's honestly kinda impressive to see just how bad EA has fumbled this series.
They have the licence of the biggest Motorsport series during its biggest boom period. And this is the best they can do.
Although Codemasters do need to shoulder some blame, for a company that's been making racing games since 1987. F124 makes them look like a bunch of amateurs. Looking through the inexcusable bugs introduced in the latest patch, the basics seem too much for them to handle.
If these guys are serious about trying to win back fan trust. Something serious needs to be done.
But I just know that the first f125 trailer will feature the line "revamped F1world" and that's when I'll give up on this series entirely.

F1 is the main game I play I do love that they have finally made it possible to do a career mode as a real driver just wish there was an option to start with low stats, it's so thrusting to see the same bugs over the last few games especially when you have a great race battle win and it suddenly shows the bottom 3 drivers on podium and everyone a lap down, the driver retirements dont seem to happen now in driver career mode, driver mistakes seem to have vanished especially in wet condition, drs is hit and miss at times, Red Bull is still OP as well as perez. You seriously need to listen to the players who spend there money and time on these games there is still no edit mode let us edit drivers stats and transfers to our own preferences this is something Fifa has had since 90s, bring back classic cars and tracks don't even care if it's a paid dlc, more drivers in the game we should have the chance to pick reserve drivers and all f2/f3 and more Icons. What I don't get is why you put Jamie chadwick in game I get you have to cater to all genders now but come on if your gonna add women drivers at least add the actual f1 academy drivers. What you need to do is take all the good parts from all previous games that fans loved and put it into future games.

@Generalemergency It's just EA being EA.

I don't mind EA being the publisher, while codemasters takes the task of making the game by themselves. Just like F1 21, EA published the game, and the game was actually good, the only down being the removal of the classic cars. They had new damage model (even though the visuals changed when the full game got released), you finally could get engine failures. So the game was good.

The problem is that EA is pressing to get things the way they want to be made. And we all know that EA more recently just thinks about money, and when there is no more money from that particular game, they just give up on it.

Why do you think the game was published so early this year? That was most likely EA ideas. The game was never released so early before.

EA can easily be a better company if they actually listen to the customers they serve. But they don't. That's why I don't believe nothing being written here will be taken into account. However, I hope I'm wrong.

@TomasSlb24Have to completely agree with that. I'm not overly familiar with many EA games to be honest. But when it was solely just Codemasters making the game, it was night and day better.

If EA want to ensure some future success with the series, then I think they have to just let Codemasters get on with it.

The ideas that EA have drummed up and implemented are so far detached from what we all want in the game. They surely have to now realise it's just not working. Sales figures alone should tell them that quite clearly.

If they are serious in resurrecting the game from the depths it has plummeted to since they took over. Then they need to listen to the community and implement the changes we have come up with.

They of course can not please everyone, but a lot of what's been said in this thread alone is just basic simple stuff.

It is absolutely imperative that they get the basics and fundamentals correct for F125 and not come up with another gimmick and unrealistic nonsense that doesn't belong in the game.

How hard is it to create a basic helmet editor? By implementing one alone would be more welcomed by the community than F1 world and fanzone! Which are just a complete waste of time and resources. At second best at least create more helmet designs and put them in the store.

In my opinion they also either have to address the amount of game breaking bugs in the game or have a much faster turn around time for resolving them.

The QA testing for F124 was beyond shambolic. This also has to be much better for F125.

I really hope that people from EA are serious about reading this entire thread that has been created.

They have a great opportunity to turn things around for F125. I along with everyone else truly hope they do.
