Ranked multiplayer needs to be a 25% race

Hi EA team,

I think that having 5 laps for ranked multiplayer is too short, it brings the reckless drivers who turn away from a 25% race.  On F1 23 I only played on ranked, and I must say it was pretty good, was getting 9/10 clean racing. 

Please can we have ranked multiplayer back to 25%, or have a separate option for it.

Thanks

  • Personally I think we should be able to choose between the 2, like we could in as recent as 22

    I also don't understand this decision. I prefer races classified in 25%. This is more interesting than 5 lap sprints. Especially since in ranked we often play against shameless players who don't hesitate to rush into you so that you don't overtake them. With the damage over 5 turns a stop at the xatnd is the last place assured while in 25% we can always change strategy and move up in the ranking.

    Afterwards I understand that some prefer short races but then in this case we would have to do two types of classified races which we could choose before the matchmaking: For example we could choose classified race Sprint for 5 laps and classified race GP for 25% . But this would induce two distinct classifications so that the results are not distorted.

  • I'm disappointed by the apparant lack of addressing this by EA so I'm commenting to bump this post in hope 25% returns.

    Longer online races would be most welcome. I have zero interest in racing 3-5 lap races. It's just a crashfest full of people with no patience, and the short races encourages desperate moves because you don't have much time to catch leaders. Tyre wear and damage is not a factor. 5 lap races are a symptom of the TikTok generation. Quick fire 5 minute games before people lose the attention span! 

    Can we have the option for 25-35-50-100% races? 

    Im well aware that 100% may not be popular, but there are people who enjoy longer races, and "Ranked" should be for the competitive players!!

    Leave the 5 lap sprint crash races for the "Unranked"

    Why not bring back the much loved F1 2010-2013 style of lobby selection?
