F1 27 Requested Features for Quality of Life and Improvement

It has been announced for Sometime that F1 26 is not going to happen and F1 25 was an improvement and a step in the right direction after F1 24 was not very appealing to many people in the community. I've discussed with many people in the F1 Community and there's been many features that can extend the life of the game and potentially bring more players to franchise. 

  • Classic Cars
  • Being Able to Drive to Parc Ferme after a Quali or a Race
  • Driving to the Pit Lane after a Red Flag
  • Transfering a Driver from Team to Team in the base game (Per Example putting Tsunoda in the Aston Martin while Lance is Gone)
  • National Anthems
  • Manual Pitstops (For example when you roll into your box, you have to turn in yourself and make it a quick mini-game and pressing buttons to do the pitstop correctly) 
  • Letting us do Doughnuts after the season ends
  • Custom Calender (Letting us move tracks so Per Example making the season finale in Interlagos instead of Abu Dhabi) 
  • Giving us Engineer audio cues (Per Example if it's time to box play an audio cue of Bono or GP or any driver telling us to Box)
  • Cooldown Room Scenes
  • TV Like Victory InLaps with the Driver Audio
  • New Damage System
  • Press Conferences 
  • Being stuck in gravel 
  • Better Unlapping system when it comes to the safety car
  • F3 so we can climb our way up to F1
  • AI Overhall 
  • Pitlane Starts
  • New Game Engine
  • Better Weather (Per example it is raining in sector one not all Track)
  • Classic Tracks
  • Character Customization (Not just the faces that are only in the game let us make our own faces)
  • Potentially Open World walking around the paddock
  • VR Support for Consoles
  • Better Damage models
  • Car Failures even in Grand Prix Mode
  • Interactive Race Engineer
  • Custom Grid in Grand Prix Mode
  • Commentary in the highlights and replay
  • Better Car Customization for MyTeam and MyCareer
  • Post Race disqualification for MyTeam and MyCareer
  • Driver Academy (being called up, risk of being dropped)
  • 3rd and Reserve Drivers
  • Driver Icons
  • Better Penalty System
  • Difference in Cars in Grand Prix Mode (If I pick per example Aston Martin, I dont want to be competiting with McLaren or Ferrari, Let Me Struggle)
  • Rolling Starts

    Yes to all of this! I would also add the Calendar date changing each year like they do in Madden when you finish the season. Also adding more basic names into the customization. 

  • It would be nice to have kind of a road to glory for MyCareer. I feel like you shouldn’t be able to load up career mode, and then pick the top team to race for. It should be set up to where you either do a full f2 career, or do three 5 lap feature races in f2, so based on your performance, shows the midfield and backMarker teams that would take you. You should have to work towards getting into the lead teams. Just my opinion.

     

    Also better and more personal helmet customization. There’s not much to personalize to make your driver unique, but the very least should be to allow you to create logos and icons for your helmet, or download community logos. Red Bull and Racing Bull drivers always have Red Bull badges on their helmet, and if you get put in their team, you look odd when you don’t have their logos on your helmet. It would be a nice touch to have real sponsors, so when you’re customizing your helmet, you can choose only from the sponsors from your team. Petronas on Mercedes, BitDefender for McLaren, or Tag Heuer for Red Bull. It would also be nice to get external sponsors specific to you, like Telcel with Checo, or drink sponsors, things like that.

    Kimi Antonelli would probably disagree with that sentiment.

    It used to be that way back in the early 2010's where you could only start in the bottom half of the grid, but people complained about not being able to start as their favorite team, so they changed it to what we have now. If you personally want to start from the back and work your way up there's nothing stopping you, so I'm not sure why they should take the ability to start at the front away from those who want to do that.

    I don't really agree with the suggestions mentioned above.

    But, all of the other ideas suggested in this discussion would make the game much more realistic and interesting. Especially: National Athems for Driver and Team. After Race ending or Qualifiying  ending one more lap and go to the pit and others.

    Adding more depth and realism to the gameplay would greatly improve the overall experience in feature F1 games. I hope the developers consider some of the other community suggestions.
