Re: Hopes for f1 25

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

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?

Hey there,

Thank you all for sharing your suggestions and feedback. I have escalated this thread to the game team for monitoring. 

We love to hear from you, but please remember to keep your messages civil and within our Rules and guidelines.

The game going forward has to improve and provide a more realistic experience for the players. I'm not suggesting in anyway that it should head in the direction of a full blown racing SIM, although that would be great I fully understand that they have to cater for all types of players and skill levels.

But there is so much more that can be improved to get more enjoyment from a racing perspective. Instead of spending all those hours developing more gimmicks, use those recourses to maybe improve the aging weather system and even create a basic helmet editor.

That alone would significantly improve the game, just those two examples. Spend more time to record better on board audio (Ferrari engine) being the perfect example.

Improve the utterly atrocious engineer chat and repetitive drivel he continues to spout out.

Little touches like a small debrief after each session with your engineer (Q&A) for example.

After a race, let us manually drive the car back to the pits etc.

Just focus more on the racing aspect rather than things that offer absolutely nothing.

Attention to detail is key!

what they but many companies do not understand that to make yours a casual player or not to lose the old acquisitions you have to create difficulties .... do not simplify things ..... in the case of a game like f1 is in the weather in the tires in the setups in the customization of a dg in the real asphalt in the tires good servers the aesthetics and the various * come after first a good base then the outline .... instead they work the opposite and lose and will lose

As for engine sounds. They're recording the samples form the F1 testing. Ok but what exactly is recorded? I mean the engine sound in the game sounds like it was extracted from the out lap. The sound the pitch and everything is so dull like choked engine is used. Why don't extract the sound from flying lap? I imagine no team would keep it secrect from the devs if asked about it. ✌️

If you want to feast your eyes, this is the right video. A 30-year-old game modernized, which shows that with passion and attention to detail, no matter how much budget you have, you can create real works of art. No comments or comparisons are needed here, just observe and ask yourself: this game is 30 years old, but seeing the car that bounces and loses grip once it goes on the curbs, makes me shed a tear of nostalgia. Where do I want to go with this? The whole team should be inspired by this, work with passion and where there is passion there are no limits.

All valid for F1 28ish 😆

As I won't be getting the game free this year I'll be waiting for it to go 40% discount a month after release 😂

@ScarDuck14 I would buy it right away only if codemasters announced, "David Greco is back" Haha. Not even the best marketing with never seen before improvements would be better than a return of David. 🙌

As I have been banned for trolling, I need to be very careful what and how I say. I am massively passionate about F1. Many people here have been playing F1 games tor many years. I have only played F1 23 and F1 24. I have purchased F1 as soon as pre-orders opened for Champion’s edition. The experience I had with the product was nothing like I have experienced before. Service and support was on a whole new level of inferiority. I do have hopes for f1 2025 and I do hope the whole series changes dramatically to focus on sporting aspect, development quality and user experience. As a customer, I can only do one thing: decide if I want to spend money on it. As the CEO of Ubisoft recently put it: if you do not like it, do not buy it. He had a huge level of confidence when it comes to preferences of his customers. But this is where I stop. Jun/Jul 25 will be a reality check. But also I value my time and will be willing to offer my feedback to those that do not ban me for raising concerns.

@LightPilgrimthey've even banned me a few times now. Wouldn't worry about it to much.

I am not worried, it is just disrespectful. 

Hello!!!

In addition to fixing bugs, here are some:

- Medical car at the start
- Career mode similar to 2017 (teams looking for you for a contract)
- Return of country flags on the podium
- More helmet models (with the team sponsors we chose in the career)
- Marshalls removing cars that abandon the race
- More custom scenes at the start
- Custom scenes for the top three finishers in qualifying
- On the podium, the team boss receives the constructor's trophy
- Returns to control the 3 fuel mixes
- Before each practice/gp, custom scene of the GP paddock, same as 2017 (more images of the hospitality and with the team principal)(
- In qualifying, I can follow the timed fast lap (with partials, in TV style) of a competitor or rival in the pits (yellow sector, green sector, purple sector, best or worst partials and the position at the end of the lap)
- Graphically (visually), show tire wear.
- Interview at the end of qualifying and the GP.
- Show my name/flag on the car (cockpit) and on the driver's suit.
- Return of arrows (green and red) on the screen after the GP, indicating when a team or driver moved up or down in the classification.

I've also had a ban. I guess the truth hurts. It's about time they started listening to the feedback from people who have purchased such a poor value for money product then.

FWIW I've never seen them ban someone for just for criticizing the game/ company. Usually they only step in and issue a ban if a negative comment is directed at someone or a group of people.

OK: F1 24 is a bad game and EA ruins everything it touches!

Not OK: The Devs who made F1 24 are (insert mean thing here)

@TheRagebeardWell that rule did not apply to me with my ban whatsoever. Mine was for criticism of the game. Not that I'm bothered, just stating my experience.

Same with me. I have never been banned from any forum in my life and never had insulted anyone or criticized anyone. This game is very bad. I paid for it and it is the most inferior purchase I have had. This is what I said. Poor quality. Period

Don't talk about forum moderation.  It's against forum rules.   Also a banning offence
