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.

@IanM282 This thread really just shows how much passionate this community is with this franchise. Not only because it's the only one fully licensed where you can actually drive the car, but because we here really like F1. If no one here really cared about the game, no one would really say much in this thread.

Instead, we have a massive thread with a lot of insights of what should be modified, what should be removed and what should be added. But the devs should still be more open to talk to us.

I know they send representatives to come here and say "We are passing this info to them". Ok, what now? What conclusion did they take? Are they actually trying to implement them? Are they actually thinking about removing some features of non importance to add better features? Because simples modders just do this in so little time, like modifying dirty air effect, slipstream, DRS, ERS.

If they came here and be more specific about what they're trying to do, we would gain more trust in them, and that's what missing at the moment. We have no trust in the development of F1 25.

I'm not expecting the sales to be the same as F1 20 or even F1 21, that were different times. Different booms in sales. We had COVID, everyone was at home, DTS came out and caught many people attention, and that's why F1 20 and F1 21 got so much sales. Even if F1 25 would be a really good step up from what we've been having lately, it will not reach the numbers of that two games, maybe not even from F1 22.

@TomasSlb24Agreed, you also touched on a very good point there regarding those who are able to modify and edit things on the game to improve it. Unfortunately for me and a lot of others who play on consoles are stuck with the game in its current state, which is absolutely rubbish.

The fact that the modders who created these adjustments to improve things can generally do it easily and in no time, says a lot about the mindset of EA who are more interested in creating Fanzone than rectifying everything that is wrong with the game in the first place.

If these people can improve the game in what is probably every area, why can't the game be programmed much better by the developers in the first place?

They honestly should just hire a passionate F1 fan as part of their team who has knowledge of the sport. Since EA took over it's as far away from F1 as I've ever known.

Hey, I applaud them for asking. Not all firms would care to find out. Hopefully some of these ideas can get into future games. I understood from 2021 that FOM set constraints on what could be done.

To be honest I really like f1 24 obviously it could be improved. For improvements in the future (future games) I feel like we should be able to actually change the look of our my team car like sidepods ect. These models can be taken from the 2022 cars and 2023 cars this would be a fun idea at least. And for more creativity it would awesome to have the option in audio settings to go from v6 engines to v8 and v10 or even v12, this would be something console users would love to see. As for the menus I think take a good look at 2012 and see what made that games menus look awesome, even though it’s a old look f1 2012 really has a great opening screen and menu, I’m sure it would look just as good in 2025 or 2026. The handling is fine I guess other than some rear end stability that’s about it. This may never be looked at by the creators of f1 games but if it is this is what really would be cool. This all could be added up from late 2025 and further even though it takes time, time makes a good game. Maybe instead of making a new game ever year release a game called Formula 1 and have features from current f1 games but make it so you can play different eras. I wouldn’t care if you had to pay to play the 2016 era so as long as it’s with the new graphics and I can change form 2016 to 2023 for example. Make it so that you have one game and you pay to unlock different f1 seasons. A lot of people may not like paying but it would potentially be one of the best things to do and yolo it.
So yea that’s what I guess I would want do read it if you’d don’t want to i don’t really care it’s just what would be nice to see in the game.

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.
F1 25 will just bring polished handling and whatnot. But all those fundamental changes that were suggested here is due somewhere beyond F1 26. Sad but true. 😑

@Blackbird90Couldn't agree more. If it is that way, then I along with many others, I would imagine won't be buying it for top price, or at all.

If only they actually listened and cared about their customers, they could increase their profits massively. My bet is F125 will be another disaster due to absolute failure to listen to the community (again)!

The community issues page finally got updated with absolutely nothing, no new issues despite GLARING issues in career mode and just in general. Very upsetting still nothing about #1 or drivers not retiring like in real life. What are we actually doing here man.

Just seen the update to the community issues....
Have to laugh now...
No new updates since 1.10 broke the game.
CM/EA have no interest in F124 anymore and you can tell.
Needless to say, the playerbase is slowly reducing too

- Focus on getting the core racing game just right
- scrap modes not being played enough (you have the data on this)
Im mostly playing in co-op career, so im biased in getting that right.
- AI needs an overhaul in general, would love to see real F1 data from the actual driver being used for the AI model of the particular driver.
- AI are too aggresive bumping into you from behind, ramming you so you spin off without them receiving any penalty, this needs to be adressed.
- AI speed needs to be more levelled for each track, at the moment AI speed is fast for some tracks and slow for others, even when running with the same AI level.
- Add the ability to turn off race engineer if the engineer is not updated vs. now (very repetitive stuff being said)
- Enhance the replay feature, it's way too simple. Please let us watch a full replay, at the moment there is lots of incidents not picked up by the AI selecting the clips to be shown. Allow us to switch cars during replay
- Lap records needs to be saved for each track, and whenever a new record has been set it will overwrite the old. Use lap record data + time and which car/team was used to be shown when loading into a GP.
- Consider adding a spotter, could be very useful especially for race starts and the first few corners
- Setups needs to be much more harder to get right, maybe consider making it being different for each car as to what has been developed for the car and what is installed currently.
- Consider adding more imersion to the career mode with adding Pre-season testing (this can be useful in R&D and setups knowledge and the engineering side of the team)
- Add more choices for selecting tracks in career mode for a season (currently there is only a few) - let's us have the choice to select which races will be sprint races, and maybe add other tracks as DLC
- Add much more imersion into the R&D and team management in general, this could include things such as a budget cap, where you have to manage facilities, personel, pit crew etc.
- R&D should be much more advanced (or at least have the option to be so) and also be much more randomized for each team, make this much deeper.
- For the budget cap, crashes and wings usage will cost money taken from the budget, so it will hurt big time crashing too much or using too many wings etc.
- For the practice sessions, make them more focused on getting some predefined tasks done (this could be selected by the user as what R&D needs information on before the race and in the light of any R&D being actually developed)
- Maybe add the possibility of having made R&D errors which turns out to be not the right path for the current car, but instead of being a complete failure this improved understanding of a select area of the car and what not to do (this has be non static what is right)
- Maybe consider adding pit crew performance as a thing for R&D / training, this will have an effect on the performance of your pitstops
- Windtunnel usage time determined by the results in the previous season

@mattwells149852 I will not be mad if they gave up on this game, to put all the team focus in F1 25. Just like a bad F1 team stops developing the actual car to try and get the next years car right.

The game is unsavable, they already know it by reading all this thread.
