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.

@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.

@IanM282 I fully agree with this proposal. I even don´t know what kind of game I´m playing. So many pointless "gimmicks" inside the game - totally pointless. Moreover: this kind of unrealistic content makes the overall gaming experience even worse not only from the player point of view, but also from the development focus and future patches and fixes.

Bring back the old F1 game design from the Geoff Crammond´s era. What we actually need is quite simple:

- online time trials
- online and offline customisable racing (week-end scenario)
- online and offline championship
- free run (where you can test everything without the outside pressures - even pit-stops, strategies and tactics, dry and wet setups, etc...)

That´s it. Very simple, but fully functional F1 gaming environment where the core of the F1 gameplay represents simple, but fully working environment for anyone.

Don´t get me wrong, I do not complain, I like the overall track design - it´s been significantly improved over time - I like it very much. Handling is fair enough even for players they prefer wheel and pedals - it´s good. I like the customisable camera setting - especially from the cockpit view - perfect! The sound was not bad at all, but now, after the last patch, the Ferrari engine is totally useless.

Look at the present EA WRC game - it´s been drastically improved over time and now, it´s amazing piece of software, it really is the best rally game on the market now, hence the F1 game is going the wrong way and the devs do not know how to get out of this neverending mess.

Please respect the loyal fanbase, focus on core gaming elements, improve the game accordingly and think twice before the next F1 release, because this one is really very bad indeed, almost unplayable at this stage.

@ruksak Agreed, what Geoff Crammond did back in the day was simple but effective and worked with the absolute main priority being focused on F1 racing and not gimmicks.

I played GP2, GP3 and the final series GP4. Way ahead of their time. A friend of mine said as soon as EA took over the game would go rapidly downhill and he was not wrong.

Pointless unrealistic drivel does not belong in any F1 game.

@IanM282 Thats interesting because I have a total opposite opinion.

Because of all the bugs I bought the game a few weeks ago after a lot of patches.
I am very happy with the handling. I am experienced with a lot F1 games since F1 2012.

The handling is comprehensive, less understeery. The ai is way less aggressive than 2022! More fair when driving on in-Out laps.
And on top the decision about the career mode changes were great. This mode is much deeper and gives so much more opportunities to experience several seasons.

But I have to say me and my buddy drive only coop mode (50%) with driver assists with wheels. By the way: it seems games without assists are much less satisfied with the game than gamers with assists.

But I totally agree that reducing customization makes this overall totally unnecessary.

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.

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.

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 just wish to have the most realistic F1 racing and/or simulation available. Things that make EA Sports F1 not:
Tire management seems off. I never feel like I can truly control what tires I end up within the race. Tires seem too predetermined per each session but maybe this is realistic? Just feel like if I want to run what ever combination of tires and however many in each session and have too little "new" on race day would be of my own choosing. Or choose what tires I want to hand back.
It amazes me something like following official rules and guidelines such as track limits isn't accurate. 3 second penalties? 3 track limit warnings and the 4th is a 3 second penalty in F1 224 and that came from where? You call that realistic? Penalties seem so inconsistent too for collisions. I'm rammed in a side pod, sent into a spin, forced off the track, stuck on the AI's car as they continue to turn in and they get a warning at best.
The AI just seems basic at best. Sometimes they leave a cars width, other times they keep plowing into your side pod after a late dive into the braking zone. Realistic AI based on both team and driver performance as well. Racing Alonso in the top 10, sure. Stroll constantly up there with Alonso? Seems like when one team has a strong car both drivers are equally strong. Clearly isn't the case in real life like AM and Red Bull... But the basic AI along with the made up 3 second penalties and inconsistent collision penalties are my biggest frustrations with the game and a game shouldn't make me frustrated while tying to enjoy a race with a friend.
Better 2 player career. Why can't both upgrade parts? Auto recovery is a joke. Was reset onto or into the path of another car and instantly got a 10-second penalty.
Multiple real-life team liveries to choose from. Not just one or limited time liveries. Hated the white Red Bull or Monza Ferrari liveries being available for just a week or 2, though not specific to just F1 2024 clearly. I really want to see and race consistently with the real McLaren Chrome livery for example, or in 2022 I wanted to use the McLaren Future Mode. But have never seen either of these in game. Unless I missed a limited time reward. I get some specialty liveries are behind F1 World Challenges but also maybe after that limited time make them available for purchase? Even not being a Mercedes fan I would purchase the 2024 Singapore livery to use in career. Or VCARB in Miami. I wish I could view every livery ever available and how to unlock it or purchase it.
Want adjustments to downforce to affect the visual appearance of the rear wing. It appears changing the aero settings don't change the physical appearance of the car. Again not realistic.
Sometimes I gotta ask if the developers are F1 fans, have watched a race or season? Just so many differences between real racing and the game. Yet what would keep me coming back and would be willing to spend more money (on say a deluxe version) would be more realism and more liveries. I currently want to spend the least currently with the state of realism and lack of real liveries. I don't want any of these fantasy ones in F1 World.
Just a few thoughts I have.
