I’ve already asked some months back for suggestions forum to return and replace the drivers lounge. Will make it easier for suggestions to be posted and talked about and for the dev team to read through them.
Agreed - this should 100% be the first step, coupled with a decent voting system so they can see what the community makes of the suggestions.
But votes alone should not be the only bar they react to - let me explain. The Bigger voted suggestions they should definitely look into, but there will be suggestions which are obviously good that do not get many votes. The decision makers need to be able to identify genuinely good suggestions and get them in the game. So for example, my suggestion of a thin white outline for car markers in the mini-map or all menus to be fully cycle-able (currently some are, some aren’t) - neither of these got too much traction when posted compared to the bigger issues (something like 35%, 75% race distance), but are clearly small quality of life and easy improvements that can be made.
Knock these small things off the list while working on the bigger stuff, and the game is better overall.

@Monzstar83With you on the thin white line👍
But I go back to I tried to explain to the user off many many accounts( I’m forever watching ). The devs will not actively engage on a suggestions thread. Danger being if they say to someone that their suggestion is awesome and they implement it into a game. It’s leaves the door open for someone to seek monetary reward. No matter how unlikely their chance in a court would be. It’s a headache EA will want to do without. So adding a polling system where the devs add the winning suggestion to the game. The author of said suggestion could have a case.
I emailed Ubisoft back in ps3 days. Before I could email them. Was a long disclaimer about it I was emailing them to suggest something I do so freely blah blah blah.
Wow. So basically if I make a suggestion and they use it, I could claim a reward? Curious though, CM did have a suggestion board, so this must have applied to them. If EA don’t want the legal headache, then that is not a good situation - no way to make suggestions and they actively won’t implement anything suggested? Bonkers 🤪 Can’t remember if I had to agree some some T&C’s to join this forum, but surely that would have been covered?
Even if there may be these 'legal reasons', I hope they can "get inspired" quietly or the forum is simply nonsense.
I hope that common sense is still part of this world...
@ScarDuck14 so it's enough for me, my reward is a game getting better and better ❤️
@NuvolarixProblem with how the forums are currently. It’s hard for them to browse suggestions as they quickly fall off the front page. Or they are just an endless list of suggestions that have been said time and time again.
Beauty off your, @Meza994 , and @Monzstar83 suggestions is they are well thought out after putting many hours into the game.
My thing is more about getting issues and bugs fixed which I’m told will be improved come 23
Yes I agree, it's not easy to properly collect suggestions unless some 'unofficial' users (having regard to the previous considerations) try to collect them in a single topic, perhaps distinguishing 'easy and fast' from 'majors' and 'confirmed and verified' from 'first impression' etc., always updating the main post or something like that.
I think I (we) can try to do it in the future starting from F1 23 I would say, maybe with a pinned topic. Just brainstorming...
