Why only 3 helmets?

Hey everyone,

thanks for your feedback! I've passed this on to the team.

Even just putting in the ones from previous years would be fine.

At the absolute bare minimum all players should start with 3 options for Livery, Helmet, Gloves and Suit. Rest can then be added to store/passes. 

Thanks for passing it on, but that’s all we ever hear…. It would be nice if some of the team can come on here for just 10 minutes and answer some of our questions and explain some of the baffling decisions they’ve made for this game! 
For example, why has an £89.99 game with a My Team mode launched with only ONE livery, helmet and suit? 
Why has all the previous helmets and customisation been removed? 
Why is the ‘store’ empty??

As far as I can see, the ONLY perks of paying an extra £20 for the Champions Edition was:

- Play 3 days early (except that was a terrible launch version with a disgraceful handling model and so many bugs

- Get 3 liveries (for time trial in F1 23 that’s about to be uninstalled)

- 18,000 pitcoin (except there are no helmets and liveries to spend it on….)

What in the name of Trading Standards and poor marketing is going on at Codemasters?? 

Agreed on that. I'd also love to hear their explanation for this extremely poor decision regarding a complete lack of content.

It is absolutely unacceptable in every way!

@IanM282It why they don’t come here. It’s not down to them. It’s those who tell them what to do. Those who only care about share prices and shareholders.

Us - CM - Team - Management - boardroom - bin.

I can say that now I no longer  have a badge  😂

@Hempyjr  Yes the same for me I had pre-ordered the champion edition but I got a refund before the release.

A first for me since Formula One 2003 but it's just not possible.

I just saw the post from EA SPORT F1 which shows the game's ratings in the media,

I don't know where its numbers come from 🧐

I’ve bought every single game since F1 2010 on launch day. (Actually, I even bought F1 2009 on the Wii) And I play them all year round league racing right up until the new game is launched. 

I can say with absolute certainty than I won’t buy F1 25 unless I see an enormous improvement. 

F1 2014 and 2015 were disappointing, but F1 24 takes the cake!! I regret buying it!! 

Half the drivers in my league have skipped it this year after playing the EA Play preview. Reviews are terrible. 
It’s not even a copy and paste from F1 23

It’s a copy, remove massive chunks of F1 23 and paste…. But charge the same price! 

@SDGMatt  Yes, you summed up the situation well and I'm in the same situation as you, players for a very long time too, so obviously the frustration is great.

As I already had for my part, my goal is not to disrespect the developers nor EA or Codemaster but to make them react given that the community cannot have any direct contact with them.

That's why I attacked the subject of personalization because firstly it's been around for too many years and then because we have to vulgarly shout so that the message gets through. It's unfortunate to have come to this.

My F1 hurts 😔

Goat is still F1 championship edition 2006 I think.  Sadly before codemasters 

@ScarDuck14  Ah yes F1 2006 I spent hours on it.

You make the starting grid yourself IDE or SATO first and ALONSO AND SCHUMACHER last LOL 😅

@ScarDuck14Yes clearly the good times 🙄

I still play F1 06. Great game!

@Douglas673  Personally I no longer have access to the old F1 games because I now only own the Playstation 5 but if one day I have the opportunity to get my hands on it again I would be like a kid 😁

I will rediscover that feeling of loving an F1 opus which unfortunately is no longer relevant despite some progress this year like in career mode but which remains too light for my part 😐

I still have all my old units. I still play a game on ps2, I play that 1 on ps3 & I still play techmo Super Bowl on Nintendo. Love the old games!

@EA_Vendcera  3 helmets is mental. Absolute robbery.

Also, stop with shiny materials on race suits - they look ridiculous.

🖖🏽

@Monzstar83  Yes it's true that the outfit has a very strange sort of shiny effect but anyway I think that at this stage of the customization everything needs to be changed. 🙄

So glad this subject has picked up some traction and outrage. A lot of bugs can happen but something as simple as putting helmets in should be easy! Only putting 1 helmet in the base game and 3 in the store is a CHOICE by the developers, and that’s just disgraceful!

@Monzstar83wouldn’t be so bad if this game was a retro science fiction show from 1970s 😂

@ScarDuck14  Indeed, reminiscent of the tracksuits of the day 😂
