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!

@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! @SDGMatt as a fellow consumer I was agreeing with you that F1 24 has had a rough launch to put it mildly, I was merely trying to explain how a corporation like EA is probably going to think and operate. Anything we say or do here on these forums probably isn't going to convince them to change, but hopefully the declining sales figures will get their attention.
The helmet situation and the general lack of customisation in F124 is a serious mistake by the developers this year.
Basically what they have given us is in my opinion the worst F1 game in many years, with absolutely shocking AI, a terrible handling model and to top it all off, devoid of any proper customisation content.
I'm not surprised one iotta sales are significantly down.
Honestly if we don't see any improvements soon and the basic customisation content mainly helmets, I will not buy F125!
I too feel completely ripped off!
