I have not played the beta myself, however I have seen feedback on the forum as well as on social media. I have seen many people complaining about what seems to be more realistic features such as tyre wear and handling. I urge the developers NOT to completely overhaul these features as a result of criticism from people who have only played the game for 20 minutes with suboptimal setups. Instead, make tweaks to it in order to ensure it behaves how the developers intended, but please don't completely change it to make it easier for those who can't handle it.

@mikyesposto1 having mentioned David a few times in last week or so on our WhatsApp group, I sent him a invite not expecting to join. But he has and been great chatting with him and it’s a shame there’s not many like him. Always getting amongst us here and actually have discussions with with people about handling. So no wonder handling in 23 was great

Im sorry but seems to me a lot rubbish being spoken about 24. Im not saying anything but I have played the beta and small tweaks sure are needed as you would expect from a beta but calling it a step back is nonsense. Too many people who dont understand racing/driving/vehicle dynamics complaining about things from a point of ignorance

I agree with @mikyesposto1 , I'm not in the Beta this year so I cannot check myself but all the readings about handling are bit scary. F1 23 was very good physics, just need fine tuning not overhaul, hoping Beta is just 'old' development version, fingers crossed for the final one

I’d love to know how you can say that without actually playing the beta. I’ve played the beta - the handling change is ridiculous. I feel like I’ve gone back to playing f1 2014. It feels like an arcade game now, as if EA have catered to new players just to make more money (no surprise there).it’s literally like they’ve gone backwards and for some insane reason, decided to completely overhaul the best part of F1 23.

@Gaz4020 practically it's already a failure for everyone to complain because they haven't really started a new development, they took the file from 22 copied and pasted with the management changes that they say is nice....but when you find the smoke bug when braking you understand that they didn't make an effort ....what can we do as a passionate community? simple or you don't buy it like that or they decide to make a new game or they remove the license or everyone shut up and this will be the game. because one month after launch you can't do everything again

dear Ea/Codemasters, I have always defended you in all these years because despite everything I saw the effort of some people there (David Greco above all, indeed perhaps the only one) but enough is enough. The path taken is one that will lead to the death of f1 games in the short term, everything good that had been done in terms of physics and handling has ended up in the garbage. This f1 24 truly seems like a tribute to f1 2014, I'm very disappointed with the work done and I assure you that this year many will skip the game. Now it's too late to even go back to physics, a year of suffering awaits us with the hope that the team will go back towards simulation. My doubts/fears after David's departure have become reality...a super fan of this sport disappointed, hello everyone.

David's goal was to bring f1 towards simulation. And we can say that f1 23 was his "last dance" and his hand on physics was evident. It would have been enough to refine the driving of f1 24 to produce a good game that I would have taken with my eyes closed. I really don't understand the point of ruining the good things David has built over the years, struggling to bring this series where it deserves, towards the purest simulation. Now imagine an esports driver who will find himself physically fit this year, perhaps he will return to training on F1 2014 to experience the same sensations again. Wake up Codemasters, it's 2024, even casual gamers are tired of seeing steps backwards on gameplay. It's time to innovate, not to go back 10 years!

I'm glad that many are understanding that it's the end of f1 gaming.....we can only all unite together and write to libertymedia to complain, us fans.....it's pure arcade now and will be like this at least until 2026. ....let's unite guys

Sounds great would like to talk to other members about the handle in F1 Games.
Do you have invite to your WhatsApp group.

@Darthsausage44 if for you a game preset at 80 euros or an updated game with 2024 liveries.... graphics the same as tracks not revised bugs always the same. crossplay unplayable. etc this is not ignorance it's a fair complaint
