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.

@TomasSlb24 That's all well and good but we have all spent money on this product and we have a faulty product. We all know the same bugs will be in F125.

They either give us all a full refund for F124 or have to give us F125. We all know neither will happen

@mattwells149852 Well, I understand that. I'm a costumer my self and I'm sad and mad about it.

Of course that, when I say they give up on the game, I'm not saying they should not update the game anymore. They have to. I'm saying the game should get to a slow development state.

They have to nail F1 25, they have no other way to actually compensate how bad this game was. Maybe a bigger discount to the ones who bought F1 24 would be appreciated, but that is already asking too much from EA.

The game is very very bad but it’s not broken. You don’t get refunds for buying bad products after 3-4 months. Thats down to the consumer for not doing necessary research by watching/reading reviews before buying. State off gaming these days. I never buy into the marketing rubbish or gaming news media that’s in the pocket off AAA companies. I don’t buy any new releases game for atleast a month after it launches. Then I think I’ve waited this long… May aswell wait until it goes on sale. Within 3 months off release you can get up to 50% discount.

if everyone done the same it would force AAA companies to develop better products

@TomasSlb24 for me they have to raise their hands and say we are not capable of doing anything else.... this year they have ruined the fun for many of us.... scarduck is right when he says that we have to wait and not be fooled by the videos that are now clearly a joke to the players and if necessary not to buy it at all.... so the copy and paste will end with them maybe even the license per cm.... 1 month they are not even capable of fixing the ferrari sound what are we talking about?....

@Nellix82 Agreed, they should take their pride off, and admit the error.

What ScarDuck said, with all due respect, I can't agree. I understand what he's saying, but we should not be waiting 1 month to see if the games work or not. The games should be 99% ready to play. Bugs are part of it, every game gets released with them, in this era. But a game should be in a state that the basics actually work, not what we have in F1 24.

The problem now is that the DEADLINE is not viewed as a problem anymore. Back then every company saw the deadline has a problem, because the game had to be released as playable as possibly and patching the game was, well, not an easier thing as it is now.

And EA/Codemasters are being penalized every year that passes. We see that sales are going down, and even if next years game gets better, the sales at the start will probably go down again. That's why F1 25 is do or die. If it hits, F1 26 can be a big one. If it's a bust, then it's' over.

For the most part I’m OK with the game, and I still enjoy destressing for 30 min after work each day. My 2 issues are Brazil (which I just avoid) and the DRS trains. The game is not better now than when I bought it and my main complaint about customization for My Team has fallen on deaf ears.
Some other issues would require more work, like being able to change the AI when restarting a session (a feature that did exist at one point). Or the ability to change the AI mid session ( to deal with weather) or the ability to turn weather off altogether (another low hanging fruit option)
But I know the game can be broken with the next patch, that is partly the issue with games now. You can’t really say the game is 4.5 months old when each patch effectively creates a new game.
I think it was 2019 or 2018 when the game was great for me, and then a patch addressed traction and created a situation where I was fine in the dry and the wet but would be 2 seconds off the pace in the transition. No matter what I would lose 10 seconds over the 5 laps where the track went from one to the other. Game goes from close to brilliant to painfully bad at several races a season.
Some player options could fix the risks of patches making the game worse but in the end we could pay for what is perceived to be a perfect F1 game to have it broken the day after we buy it, or 4 months later.
So for game companies, like car manufacturers, it is about trust. Do I trust them to make a good product this year? That trust is based on their history of making good products. My last 2 examples are 22 and 24. Not sure where I am at on that one heading towards 25.
So even if F1 25 75th anniversary edition or whatever it will be called comes out to rave player reviews, is there incentive to oay full price for a game that can be broken at any moment with an errant patch?

@TomasSlb24 No we shouldn’t have to wait. But if you want games that work as intended. The only way that’s going to happen is if we don’t buy them at launch. If we all wait until games go on sale and when biggest bugs are fixed. It will force EA to into changing. Probably the only way they will change. It’s the biggest power we have. If people continue to buy games at launch in the state they currently are. No reason for EA to change what they do

I personally think EA have caused themselves a lot of problems going forward after the state of F124. For many and me included, I've lost a lot of trust in them.
There has been a downward trend in sales since they took over from Codemasters. There may be many reasons for that, but for many it's just how poor the games have become since they got involved.
I think we have to not only just look to see how bad F124 was and still is, but also F122. Whilst nowhere near as bad as F124, it was a massive step backwards from F121, which I believe was mostly Codemasters good work. F121 was excellent and by far the best of them all over the more recent titles and the correlation is clear why, EA weren't fully involved!
F123 had it's flaws, but was seriously on a different level compared to F124. But again not as good as F12020 and F121.
By EA introducing the huge disaster which was F1 Life, followed by F1 World and now things like Fanzone, people have had enough. Especially when there are so many basic things that can be dramatically improved.
I have absolutely no idea why or who comes up with these gimmicks and thinks it will be just what we all want. It's so far detached from what we all want and that's the truth.
I'd absolutely love to hear their explanation for how we arrived at F124. It has absolutely nothing in it whatsoever. We have gone from classic cars, more circuits, breaking point (I never played it) but at least it was something. Much more helmets, much more general customisation and better handling models. All F124 has to offer is a supposed all new career mode, which lets face it is more like a little bit of polish. Hardly new and ground breaking is it?
F124 has been a massive disappointment and a kick in the teeth for those who wasted £90 on it. They released a game which was never ever tested properly, absolutely terrible AI, worst handling model ever made, decimated the store of race wear and the turnaround time to fix the most absolutely glaring bugs is desperately slow.
How can we go from a game like F12020 and F121 to F124? The game has been completely striped back with less content that ever. Is it any wonder why sales are down?
EA, it's time you actually started listening to the people in this community and stop trying to come up with tacky and meaningless features that do not belong in an F1 game!
Instead focus on the core of the game and get that much better as a primary priority. F125 absolutely has to be so much better.

Why are you all making the game so bad? I actually think it's very good. You could add a bit more, like online training to compare yourself and build good setups. Unfortunately, there is no tire wear in time trials. It would also be nice if you could set the wheel suspension differently. The menu should definitely be changed so that you can choose the weather before the time trial. The cars drive very well otherwise, so don't make everything bad, because it isn't. I'm almost 60 years old and if I can handle it well, young people should be able to handle it too. I drive with a controller on an AI strength of between 85 and 90, so please don't tell me the game isn't good
