I hope that EA / CM really levels up next year. I started with the release of this years game and it was so terrible that i stopped playing until now, it just killed all my motivation to try to enjoy this game. Especially I was a Coop Career Guy - and my friend just has the same feeling - these bugs were too much this year...we played half a season and stopped since then...
I tried some races last week and started with McLaren to check the game after several months break - but I just can´t enjoy it anymore - the ground is just to burned for me after this Fail Launch
1) Bugs from this year should not be in F1 23 at the beginning (the obvious ones we all know..) - i think it can´t be excused what we had to experience again for this year - STOP COPYING BUGS PLEASE
2) Restart Race Option in 2 Player Career
3) Flying Laps in 2 Player Career (i know thats not an easy one)
4) Red Flags with Re-Starts
5) Improved Safety Car & more VSC
6) Better stability in Coop Career - and it seems like in this mode AI Is different and cars are different than in single player
7) Coop MyTeam
8) Complete new menu design (its just getting old - every year the same menus)
9) F1 classic cars
10) Stop with F1 Life
11) Include Legend drivers in career mode - not only myteam
12) Classic Tracks with possibility to include in seasons
13) balanced AI on all tracks - I don´t like the different AI levels on each track and to have to adapt after each patch - its ruining the experience - Most of us don´t have time to cope with CM / EA patches / massive game changing moves and re-adapt heavy after each patch
14) No crucial bugs at the beginning like AI STRAIGHT LINE SPEED (who is testing this game??? these are obvious problems the community is figuring out after 2 or 3 races...)
15) More options to car and facility development (look at F1 Manager 22 - there are some really good things to take over to MyCareer or MyTeam)
16) More Option in driver transfers or trades - one list with all contracts / conditions / driver stats / willingness to change teams etc. (like a real transfer market)
17) I want to have the feeling I have to improve to keep up with AI - but at the moment on some tracks they are very bad and some they are very strong - not balanced (plus I think straight line speed is still a minor issue? Wasn´t sure, but felt like it, when i played last week)
18) Race calendar as we wish from 1 to X-Amount of races - and not only 3 options of season length
19) More Livery Options - like different jerseys in each sports game - this would really also tune up the experience
20) Better presentation during the race weekend - again its a copy paste job the last years - you get a lot of money from us for this half-assed approach - we earned / deserved better - don´t you agree?
21) Make a bigger easier BETA phase for all of us - in an early stage to be able to improve the core of the game (RACING) - I just can´t see YOUTUBERS (Aarava, tiamet..etc.. all of them..well 90% of them..) telling me every year this is the best F1 ever..and after 2 weeks the community is exploding because of the bad state of play...let us be part of it.
22) Way better graphics - allthough they look improved..there is a lot of gap to state of the art graphics (talking about ps5)
I think if i take my time, I will be able to wish 10-15 points more to improve but if most of my mentioned stuff would be realised i would be amazed.
My expectations are very low and I honestly think F1 is going down the same road as MADDEN - and it will end in an unfriendly user experience with zero improvements.
P.S: don´t bring something like FUT in Fifa, or MyTeam in NBA etc.. aggressive microtransaction policy.. 1st bring the game to the highest level possible and then you can milk the cow if you wish - but i think this has to be earned - and fire the guy who thought F1 life is important (CLOWN)
