Hopes for f1 25
With lewis in ferrari, this year is an epic year in f1. Never like this year can we have a championship so close with more teams fighting. Ea/Codemasters' F1 must definitely change direction if it do...

@mikyesposto1 Im hoping that this is a step up with F1 25 being with the team that made F123.
As many people have said, myself included, F1 World has to go because it doesn’t offer enough. The AI are too easy, the stickers cause more issues than good and the lack of regular events meant it wasn’t worth it. Also let it be optional as to whether we want to vote for a driver and constructor rather than forcing us to.
My concern for this year’s game that if Braking Point returns, i fear too much focus is on that. Don’t get me wrong i like the idea of it but the hardest difficulty barely felt a challenge for F1 23.
No bugs from F1 24 should carry over however these things can happen but hopefully they don’t on this occasion

Personally not getting my hopes up very high for F1 25 and mostly expecting more of the same. Development has been ongoing for at least a year so unless there were already early decisions to change course on things like F1 world etc, that’s all likely still baked in with just another facelift
I do hope they continue to evolve the current handling and suspension models - 23 was ok not the peak IMO and don’t want to go back to that. 24 still has issues but I prefer it in most waysMore tuning of the current system was clearly needed at the start and the knock on effect to the AI was also an issue but modeling is headed in a better direction and the setups work better w less metaTires/temps, also for AI, are still in need of work. As is FFB - tough to support both pad and wheel users - more testing and tuning needed before release but will it happen?The bugs will be back, so many have persisted across the recent years because they are deep in the code base being used every year - until its all redone - and more will show up as stuff is glued on w/o enough testingSo my hopes and expectations are really on 26, if there is going to be one. The rules changes are big enough to require some major work and there’s still time to do it but needs passion for racing behind it not just spreadsheets- I can assure you that f1 23 was far better, the driving model is at least 10 steps ahead of f1 24. The problem was not the physics of f1 24 but not having made the driving model work with the new physics. This is why in my suggestions there is the advice to "hire" a real driver who can give his feedback to the physics engineers (Casey first). You can't prefer f1 24 over f1 23, we are on two completely different tracks. Hope is always the last to die, that's what we say in Italy and I'm sure that the entire team knows perfectly where to put their hands and how to solve the problems. But we need to leave behind PS4 and Xbox One to start this climb, part of the bugs are also due to the old hardware. As long as there is old hardware we will always have the same graphic problems, glitches, sudden crashes but above all "limited" physics. Casey must listen to the feedback of real drivers, develop first for the steering wheel and then for the pad, as good old David did. No one will be able to complain about how to drive a car on F1 25 or whatever, because the feedback was given by a real driver. It's a bit like what David did, but unfortunately he was limited on many things and also the time available is always little every year to add improvements. In these cases we should put more staff in the handling and quality department, a good game makes the difference in this. And then do continuous testing, f1 24 was a disaster in beta and in the release phase, you can't release a game in those conditions. My hope is there and will always be there, whatever the intentions of the team, if they want to save the game and the license, you have to do everything I suggested now and in the first post I published, it's essential to release a decent game that is appreciated by everyone. May these messages reach those who deserve it. Barry would be proud of all this passion :D
Just a litte eye opener of what could be possible if resources would not be wasted to such idiotic things like furniture/clothing/F1 world resources stuff:

THIS is what an official F1 sim car should be all about. Once that is achieved and working, it's no problem to add the things mentioned above. But only then! How is it possible that such a small team can do this, and one of the biggest names in gaming has been treading water for YEARS on the simulation aspect of the game?
