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...
Forum Discussion
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 ways
More 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 meta
Tires/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 testing
So 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?- Wow! The attention to detail in this mod is incredible, what a great job. Here you can see the real passion, the same that I would put in if I could develop a video game about f1. Do you know if applications are open in codemasters? Haha. Jokes aside, the entire team should look and get inspired by even small modders who with zero resources create small masterpieces. Ea can and must do much more.

I run an Assetto Corsa F1 league and we currently run this car. My league is 3 years old and we started on the F1 series game. Eventually we all got sick of being lied to each year and simply tired of being disappointed. F1 24 was the last straw and most Leagues began having attendance issues. I went from 2 x 20-driver grids that were well-attended, down to 0 tiers... so we switched to VRC Formula Alpha 2024 on AC and have never looked back. Life is better where people actually care about the product they put out.
Oh, come on. 22, 23, 24, the physics of driving the car hasn't changed in any way. i have hundreds of hours in every F1 since 2010 and the last 3 parts are the same in terms of driving.
I don't understand why they don't make two physics modes? arcade mode and simulator mode, what's the problem?
"I don't understand why they don't make two physics modes? arcade mode and simulator mode, what's the problem?"
Well two things come to mind. First that would require them to split development time for building/ maintaining handling models which could make things worse overall. Second that's going to split the online community as there would have to be separate lobbies & leaderboards for each mode.
It sounds like Milestone will be trying something like this with MotoGP 25 though, so assuming that goes smoothly and is well received it could put pressure on EA to do something similar with F1.
