I know this is a long shot as it hasn’t existed in any F1 game on the PS5, but is there ANY chance voice control for team radio will return?It’s really annoying on a track like Monaco that you can’t do any radio commands except Pit Now because it is the first one and so easy to get to.

For 22 and 23 (IIRC) I made a suggestion to be able to edit the 1st page of the MFD, because it looks like voice commands will not be supported on next gen for the reasons @ScarDuck14 outlines.Another bugbear, I have is they keep missing out on easy win QOL improvements such as the above. I put together threads for the last two years where I scoured all the suggestions regularly and collated all of the easy wins I could find. I filtered out anything remotely complicated and limited to the really easy stuff (given my background in software systems and UI), that I know is not much effort or would rock the boat too much in terms of introducing new bugs. None have been implemented, and I cannot be bothered to keep doing the work putting these posts together for no gain. I’m literally given them things on a plate: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Suggestions/Reprise-Low-Hanging-Fruit-Thread/m-p/12755369#M579 As a result I have become a much more casual player; I can take it or leave it, whereas before 23 I was spending at least 3 hours a day on the games.

@Monzstar83 @ScarDuck14 Voice control was by far my favorite feature, offering the most immersive gaming experience, I'm still crying... 😞 today on PS5 is 120 fps VS voice control 😞 😞 😞

For me this is the most needed thing on the next game.If they cant get voice commands then they NEED to think of a way forvus to communicate better with the team in race.Its actually unacceptable that they have sorted this issue out on this current game.Itsvthe most obvious thing they need to improve

Unless Microsoft and Sony give EA & Codemasters access to the voice system then it’s unlikely to happen which is annoying for sure

@Nuvolarix I’ve memorised the few commands that I use. But even so messing about with the D-Pad does on occasion find my nose planted into a barrier 😂

But as the Monzstar says. Low hanging QOL improvements would do away with the useless ones and allow us to customise in which order the ones we use the most

@Nuvolarix its OK for me for now because I’m not too bothered about using the PS4 version on my PS5, because I value voice commands over the other things the PS5 game version has.
The day is coming though when the newer games will be next gen only; and when that day inevitably comes, with voice commands and an editable 1st page of MFD missing, I will genuinely lose it, because they’ve had plenty of time to think about how to deal with it, and it’s not as if it’s a new issue that hasn’t been raised before. If they actually did thorough play testing, it would be obvious that MFD needs sorting, and know voice commands helped cover its failings. I’d bet everyone has problems with it.
Things like filters on saved setup page really grate as well.

@Monzstar83 But so the play testing guys understand what is wanted and needed when it comes to QOL. I’d imagine most off them don’t even play F1 game

@Monzstar83 What’s more beta testing they only ask for feedback on handling and stability. Plus doesn’t help they dot. Beta test any off the career modes
