Why only 3 helmets?
The helmet designs are bad enough and now we only have 3 to choose from? What on earth is going on here?
Please add more in future patches. Quite simply not good enough and unacceptable!
Forum Discussion
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 😂- @IanM282 Absolutely unacceptable and for sure won't buy F1 25 or any F1 (too bad i can't refund F1 24 which is a VERY DISAPPOINTING game) game made under EA until i don't see some improvements in their game. Since EA took CM we saw more features removed than added in F1 games! If i knew before buying F1 24 what i will get, i wouldn't buy it not even for 30 euro's
- @Hempyjr If I didn’t get this game for free I wouldn’t have bought it. I’d have probably waited until PS added it to Extra
@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 23It’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!
- @DavidLld33 Proper track run down. Plus really good in game engineer helps setting up car during practice… banging
@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. 🙄
- @Monzstar83 Agreed it is absolutely robbery. We are paying a premium price for the game, riddled with bugs and they give us 3 helmets.
Absolutely no where near good enough! 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!
- @Monzstar83 wouldn’t be so bad if this game was a retro science fiction show from 1970s 😂

What’s ridiculous is that the official team suits are not shiny, so they’re more than capable of getting the textures right, which means making the custom ones shiny was a design choice!!
whoever designed these things, along which the genius who made the decision to launch a premium priced game with just 1 helmet and so at livery needs to be fired!! They have no place working at that studio. They’re not good enough!!
even from a greed of point of view, it can’t even be about microtransactions, because there’s nothing to buy!!! I got 18,000 pit coin with the game. Earned another 6,000 through my podium pass, so now I’ve got 24,000 and nothing to spend it on! So why there would even be an in game storefront to buy more pitcoin is beyond me. Nobody is going to spend money if there any anything to spend it on! Don’t you want our money EA??
I just hope that those who decided on this unacceptable decision of giving us 3 helmets actually does something about it. Unfortunately I highly doubt we will see any improvements in F124.
Do the right thing EA and include some older helmet designs from 21,22 and 23 in an upcoming patch.
@IanM282 Yes, I unfortunately think that there will not be much improvement on this point this year.
Hoping this really gets reworked for F1 25 🫤

@SDGMatt I have never sheen a shiny suit anywhere IRLI don’t even think it’s possible given the materials those suits are made from. If something is print screened onto the suit then maybe, but not the actual suit.
EA Games
Please include old helmets from games 21/22/23 in the next patch.
That would at least be a start.
But only 3 helmets is not possible at all.
