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 👋

@IanM282 As I have already done, I always compare to FC 24.
Imagine 2 minutes launching a career mode by creating a player like in F1 and you choose Real Madrid.
You find yourself with an official team in a career mode but under the pretext of licenses you have a jersey without Official sponsors without numbers and without flocking...
Just a personalized jersey with stripes or flames or I don't know what.
And the other 11 players fully equipped with the official outfit.
That would be totally ugly and unrealistic! Well on F1 we are there unfortunately.
It is indeed at this stage that personalization is found 😔

@DavidLld33Absolutely agree 👍 Honestly I'd be happy just to have more helmets at this stage. And let us even apply the fake sponsors for the liveries on to the helmets. It would look so much better and no FOM licence issues either.

@EA_Vendcera Thank you so much. I really hope this is resolved for everyone.

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 😂

@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
