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!

@CM_TGK Thanks for the response, but there are simply not enough customisable items!Look around on here. It’s one of the biggest frustrations with the game besides the handling.It’s no good saying they’re available in podium pass when there are only 2 across both free and VIP tiersin season 1 and they’re at level 1 and 49…. That makes the second helmet almost unavailable to most players who have a job and life away from the game.Available in the ‘store’? Why only 3?F1 23 had a massive selection of decent designs. I spent a lot of pit coin collecting them!Your ‘daily offer’ section has now become a ‘weekly offer’ because there isn’t enough content to rotate..2 months into F1 24 and I’ve got 4 helmets to choose from and still have all 18,000 pitcoin I got for paying £89.99 to pre-order (which is a slap in the face when the game is now 40% off, so I feel punished and ripped off for putting faith in the game and pre-ordering)Surely you guys want us to be spending more on these items! It’s revenue!Why are there 40 pairs of shoes to choose from, but just 3 helmets? It’s a racing game, not a catwalk.At least add back in F1 23’s selection of helmets and liveries. Why were they even removed??

The lack of helmets, suits and liveries is absolutely disgusting, especially when players are charged £69.99-89.99 for the game. Not to mention that the ones we have been given look like a 5 year old designed them in MS Paint… Podium Pass is a waste of time as it just throws tons of F1 World Car things at you in overwhelming amounts, and I have no idea what they all are. I just don’t care about F1 World. A helmet and livery customiser has been one of the most requested features for about 10 years now, and we never get it. Yet we got an IKEA simulator!! Why is it, that we got given 1 helmet, suit and Livery when there is a game mode in My Team that’s very purpose is to allow players to create their own individual team. Go online and everyone is racing with the same car livery! even the ‘store’ is empty with just 3 lacklustre helmets. Yet you can choose from about 50 pairs of shoes for your menu avatar…. EA/Codemasters sort yourselves out!!! Absolute CHEEK to charge up to £89.99 for this game that was launched in a state, required patches just to drive properly and has had 30% content removed from last year. I’ve bought every game since F1 2010, and for the first time, I wish I had skipped this year. It’s going to take a massive improvement to convince me to buy F1 25…..

Do they not realise that what they are doing now in terms of having most of the customisation features removed will massively damage sales for F125?It beggars belief just how out of touch they are with the customer base. Is it just laziness and they can't be bothered? All F124 resembles is by far the worst copy and paste with content removed. How on earth was that ever going to go down well and be anything else other than a complete flop.The complaints are not just on here regarding the lack of content and customisation, it's all over social media. Until they wake up from giving us absolute piffle pointless items and provide us what we are "ALL" asking for, sales will continue to plummet.You have let down so many loyal customers.

You’re spot on, why not at least give us the old designs and put new ones in the podium pass each year? What is the point in having a My Team mode where you get a choice or ONE livery to start your new save with? Isn’t the purpose of the mode to customise your own team? What was the reasoning behind removing everything?? Where is the value for money here?? It’s so disrespectful to the players who have bought this game. Especially when it’s one of the most expensive games out there.Brand new Triple A titles launch at a lower price with much more content. Codemasters, give us more liveries and helmets!!!

@CM_TGK @SDGMatt How can you promote such poor content on the game like that?The possibilities for customization and content are completely at a standstill. Releasing 3 or 4 cosmics through events or challenges, do you call that content ? The system totally needs freshness, I have said it several times and we have been asking for it for years. Where is the helmet and suit livery editor? Visor color, in-depth cosmetics, community sharing system for livery creators ? With all due respect, jumpsuits and helmets with pumpkins, trees, and 80s flames have nothing to do with an official game and in no way make the franchise credible. I don't understand at all the fact that your team does not look into this subject once and for all and involve your guys in this in order to really bring content and freedom to customization.There is immense potential to be exploited on this problem which has been going on for years, already in F1 2010 it was requested despite the fact that the helmets are more realistic than today which is unfortunate. Your motto is Work in Progress, right? There we are at work at a standstill for my part. Give us real things and lots of content, it's the least you can do for a community that has been following you for years despite the fact that the price of games is increasing but the content is decreasing. I think before talking about need it's a question of respect, that's all ! Good day 👋

@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.

@DavidLld33 Racing felt organic. Never scripted as it is now

@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!
