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!

Community ManagerHey everyone,
thanks for your feedback! I've passed this on to the team.

It’s been over a month, what the hell is going on there’s still only three helmets!?? You said you passed this on to the team but there’s been two patches since and still nothing. Every single F1 game before 24 had the helmets in the store to purchase.
were all watching our pitcoins continue to increase with nothing to buy!!!
@Dismal_Games If Vendcera said he passed something on to the developers then I’m sure he did.
If they are going to do something I would look for it to happen with the start of the next Podium Pass. That’s not to say that the helmets will be in the pass, I just don’t think they will include cosmetics in a random “bug” or handling patch.
- @O Barba-Raiva In career mode, I only see 3 helmets, and I have the impression that the car is smaller than the ones in the official game! It will be my impression.
@marcusm2022 I believe the first podium pass does not end until next week, with the next one starting shortly after. If they are going to add more helmets, I think that is the most likely time for them to do it. Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by the car is smaller than the ones in the official game.
It’s in the community raised issues thread and the note on it says an announcement will be made in coming days. So yes IT’s obviously been passed on. Everything here that is valid criticism gets passed on. Whether anything gets done about it or not🤷🏻♂️.
@ScarDuck14 You're a thorough reader, I've never noticed that before. I usually just zip down to "investigating"/ "awaiting patch" part to see what might be coming through the pipeline.
- @TheRagebeard That’s why I’m all knowing 😁
@ScarDuck14 Hmm, no I think I was pretty clear. You’re a thorough reader. I don’t recall saying anything about being all knowing. 😛
- @TheRagebeard as a thorough reader I know you said nothing about me being all knowing. I never implied that you did… I said I’m all knowing in response👍
@TheRagebeardDon’t roll your eyes dude. Not my fault your witty response had more holes than my undies😝
@ScarDuck14 Well I was going to give you a puke face emoji response but then I thought I’d try and be somewhat nice. I’ll remember not to make that mistake in the future…
- @TheRagebeard It’s good to learn from your mistakes 😉
@ScarDuck14 Don't you have a football team to go worry about. The Runner-up Lions or whatever their called. I heard that Harry Kant guy could use some help remembering how to score goals.
- @TheRagebeard Very obvious very weak…. You know it’s best to know what someone is sensitive about before trying to insult them. Otherwise you set yourself up for failing harder than Logan corporal or whatever his name is 😝
@ScarDuck14 Yea, he’s done. That’s been a forgone conclusion for a while now lol.
- @TheRagebeard Same as England chances. Never wanted the manager we had. Never thought he was good enough. Going into the tournament i new we wouldn’t win because off him. So expected us to lose but thought when we do that means we finally see the end of him…. And guess what he resigned today… So really it’s a win for me.
BTW Harry Kantrun was joint leading scorer at the Euros. 
EA_GroguetHey there,
This conversation is derailing the main topic of the thread, please move to private messages if you want to talk about football or other stuff.
Thanks

Let's get back on topic then!!!
@EA_Groguet Why have we been charged £89.99 for a Champions Edition with absolutely NO pre-order bonuses, only to launch the game and find just ONE helmet design available, and 3 terrible designs in the store? Where are all the customisation items??
You have a game mode called "My Team" that let's players pick their own liveries, and you haven't given them any to choose from!! Go race online and you get 12 cars that all use the same colour/design!
18,000 pitcoin for pre-ordering and NOTHING to buy with it.... Why are there just 3 helmets, but 30+ pairs of Puma shoes!!
"Daily offers" have now become "Weekly offers" because there are not enough assets to sell, and it's the same 3 helmets on rotation!
Why are there no Pre-Order liveries? And don't even mention the eSports one's given to players to use only in Time Trial for the previous game that 99% of players will have uninstalled or traded in for the new one....
I open Podium Pass and the only way to unlock a helmet is to pay 9,000 pitcoin and then spend all day every day grinding the game to reach level 47.... only to find that the one helmet you can get is a dull and boring design.
The game has been out 6 weeks and it's already 40% off on sale..... What a waste of money Pre-Ordering to support the game/studio..... What a slap in the face for your customers!!
I won't be Pre-Ordering F1 25, and for the first time since F1 2010 I probably won't be buying.....
How hard is it for someone from EA/Codemasters to pop a message on here or the Socials to reassure players that content is on the way??
How about some feedback??
This forum is just full of complaint after complaint and everyone is saying the same thing, but it's all falling on deaf ears! Players are feeling ripped off, ignored and disrespected.
Without us, you all lose your jobs!! Who are you making the game for?? Don't take us for granted!!
- @SDGMatt Apparently there will be an announcement in coming days according to note on community raised issues… but that’s been their for a couple off weeks🤷🏻♂️
- @ScarDuck14 Yep, same old "Thanks for your feedback, it's been passed on...."
- @SDGMatt Just want to point out if you hadn’t noticed that community raised issues thread comes straight from Codemasters as it’s posted by Codemasters staff
Yeah I review it regularly. It's frustrating to see big issues that stay in the "Investigating" section for months on end. I have reported quite a few big bugs and included videos evidence of them since launch, and they never seem to make it into this section, leading to much frustration that nobody is listening!
It's also far bigger than the "awaiting patch" section, unfortunately!
Some of the biggest complaints are the lack of liveries and helmets. This is a very simple thing to add! At the very least, they could re-use the assets from F1 23.... How hard can it be?
@SDGMatt I don't think it's a difficulty thing, I think it's a presentation thing. Like I said in a post before @ScarDuck14 ruthlessly lured me off-topic, I think if they're going to add new liveries & helmets they will do it when the new season/ Podium Pass launches shortly (Monday or Tuesday I think?).
While there's a valid argument that it wasn't right to make us wait, especially for something that should have been there from the start, I can understand from their perspective that they don't want to set the precedent of adding cosmetics with every patch or even just spontaneous patches here and there.
While it would obviously be wise for them to do things to take action and begin winning back favor from the community, I understand they need to be able to draw the line in the sand somewhere. What happens if next we say "Why only 6 helmets" then "Why only 9 helmets" or "We don't like these helmets give us other helmets".
- @TheRagebeard But what is wrong with asking "why only 9 helmets?"
Do you think 9 helmets for an £89.99 game is asking too much?
I hope they do fill up the Store this week, but we shouldn't have to wait 2 months after release to get some basic content.
The first few weeks after launch is the most essential period in the game's annual cycle. It's the time when players will Pre-Order at full price, media and hype is at it's peak, reviewers dish out scores, and people spend on microtransactions as they create their identity in the game.
Has the launch of this game been a success? No, they've fumbled it badly!!
Not only have they failed to convince people to buy the game, they've also annoyed and frustrated the few players who have bought it with nothing to justify the extortionate price tag!
Sales for F1 24 in the UK are down by 47% compared to F1 23, which was already down 44% compared to F1 22.... That's a very bad trendline that doesn't bode well for F1 25!
For the first time since F1 2010, I can honestly say I am not enjoying the game. I feel ripped off and will not be buying F1 25. Certainly not at launch for £90! May as well wait a few months for it to drop to £25 and maybe they\ll have added some content and updated the current F2 season by then!
