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.

@Bbtrush Ye just saw the video. The problem here is clearly the fact that EA is taking more of a guide to where they want the game to go. Codemasters employees, if we can still say it like this, just follow what they are obliged to do.
Being a football fan as well, I've always liked to have football games, and I've played them since about 2006. PES with Konami were amazing games in that time, but clearly EA made a huge step up with Fifa 06 and onwards clearly passing Konami's games. Career modes were amazing, had a lot of depth, and for the time gameplay was good. Since about Fifa 17, the game has been all the same, and I stopped playing it around 2021. I remember that I got more attached with the PES that went out in 2020 because with modding I could pretty much have the same gameplay with stadiums and other things that FIFA had. And on top of that I payed less than half the FIFA game at the time. For now I just stay with FM.
Now what does this has to do with F1? Well, EA is just making the game their style, the style that made FIFA get so many money throughout the last years. I'm still waiting to see when we will get some sort of Ultimate Team in F1 with a pay to win system.
In other aspects, we can't really compare this games to sim racing games like AMS2, IRacing or AC, because this game is to be able to play by everyone at all ages with different types of controllers, things that can't be done in those racing games that I mentioned. Plus, those games do not have early releases making it easier for devs to put more effort to the game, because they do not have a deadline to follow. I've just bought AMS2 and can say the game feels way better than the F1 games (something that I would expect from a pure sim) but they are close to put out a big update to a lot of mechanics in the game that are what F1 games need to do. Weather update, AI behaviour, physics update. In a game that is released every year I expect that what's good stays and that they improve/add things in that same game, while removing what really does not matter. And right now, they're doing the exact opposite, removing important things, like rain physics, downgrading the handling and adding stuff no one needs or asks. I'm not expecting F1 25 to have not even half of the things most mentioned here. I'm not even mad if F1 World is there again, I just expect that we have a good handling, AI fun to race against and good enough physics, things that really impact the gameplay. And in the future, be able to get a better game with the base they get from F1 25.

AI is a multiprong issue.
1. Consistent race to race and session to session ( plus or minus the usual human variation) weather to weather.
Maybe a preseason test to suggest an AI and then FP1 requires you to do a race sim and FP2 a qualy sim in the right weather conditions to help hone the AI for when it counts.
2. AI strategy- this can be some percent chance a driver starting in a particular spot chooses a different tyre and things like over or under cut stops.
3. Good racing- this is the tough one, fair blocking, ERS deployment, knowing where to try a pass and where to hold off. I have no suggestions here on how to train the AI other than watch some real racing.

Having worked in the corporate tech sector for a long time, I'm not surprised by anything in Aarava's video. Of course EA was going to have more say and control in the F1 games after the integration with CM. It's EA's money being used for funding, and they're going to make sure that the product(s) fit what type of model they want in order to meet their yearly objectives (i.e. copies sold, profit, and player counts). This happens in pretty much any industry where large publishers acquire/merge/absorb smaller production/development companies. Corporate involvement and project management is just a normal part of that process.
Just wanted to offer perspective for those who may not work in that kind of environment or industry. It's pretty status quo.
Personally, I think it's encouraging that those job postings are there. It means that they're trying to find better people for those roles, and I've been saying for two years that they need better Product Management/Managers. And if *I* can make that observation as a customer, I'm sure EA has been able to see that internally.

It is interesting in the video that Live Service is the focus of the job postings and I don’t recall a single one of asking for more resources being focussed there.
If the off line doesn’t wildly improve I’ll be out. If My Team gets a solid revamp that works out of the box, I might be in.

@Bbtrush The problem with this video is that it proves nothing. Plus fanzone is technically a live service element so its already in the game so to say.

Don’t believe everything you hear from content creators is all i will say

# F1 crític
Selling tracks outside the calendar is a useful and intelligent way to monetize the game as it is useful for both players and EA, and the prices cannot be abusive in any way otherwise Otherwise, most players wouldn't be able to buy it. It's a shame that several iconic tracks aren't in the official game tracks like Nürburgring, Sepang, Istambul park, Valência street circuit And many others besides the return of classic cars that have to come back as soon as possible, it's absurd to pay full price for a game without the full content.
And another good idea would be for the community to choose a classic season per year to return to the game, for example they vote between the 2012 and 1990 seasons, let's assume that 2012 wins. Then all the tracks and drivers would return in a separate mode, of course this requires some development but it wouldn't be a big deal for a company like EA, they could put this as DLC or in the deluxe version
