Thats how the game should be designed!! Big THUMBS UP!
But you know what - just take this list and bring it to another studio. I would not mind playing a F1 game without official track names etc - just to have decent game.
Because 90% of your ideas are what the game should be after so many years and not a recycled piece of 60 EURO (upwards).
And in common sense - these ideas are everywhere on different topics. But you nailed it in ONE LIST. THANKS FOR THAT. In reality they should print out this topic, bring it to the devs and tell them "thats what we need next year".
But I guess in reality it would be like this:
Community Guy: Hey, how about we make this happen? Look at this awesome list.
Dev / EA: Hmm...yeah really nice ideas...good work
Community Guy: So, when are we going to start?
Dev / EA: Well..1st we have to implement new sofas and maybe focus on more clothing stuff you know.. F1 Life is a blast and they want it.. you know they will throw their money right into the screens.. Maybe we add kart racing in addition to Supercars..wouldn´t that be fun?
Community Guy: But shouldn´t we take care of them and build a special game to be #1 in the next years and decades.. you know having our great fanbase and evolving with them would be awesome. Also this would benefit esports ...
Dev / EA: Bro, you have to chill - we do as always - copy last year - take care of some critical bugs (maybe), you know some of the bugs we can still have in the game.. no one cares about SC or delta, or auto shifting.. I think if we reduce straight line speed next year.. they will buy it anyway, because its a game changing improvement (everyone laughing)... so why do care....And who cares about esports. These drivers will no stop playing the game because they have no alternative and they will support us anyway... Every year its the same.. game comes out .. "its the best f1 in years"... after some weeks they realise whats going on, we throw out some patches and life is good again - they will forget about everything anyway until the next years trailer...
Community Guy: Aha...hmm..so we do it like every year?
Dev / EA: Dude, we are the only one - its not a big deal - they don´t have any real alternatives in F1 games - so they will buy this game anyway...Maybe we do more patches - you know last time they were satisfied when we patched Kevin Magnussens Eyes. With "Drive to Survive" everything grew and F1 is getting more popular - so we are getting new players that start to see some bugs the first time... core players are getting old anyway and stop playing some day...no one really cares..isn´t that crazy...?
Community Guy: Yeah. it really is.
Dev / EA: so is there anything else I can do for you?
Community Guy: No, thanks for you feedback.
Dev / EA: Alright - nice to talk to you and now get back to furniture. Maybe you drive by IKEA to check the new kitchen models on your way home...
I just had a great night and slept very well. So thanks for your list again - and don´t take that prank to serious but I am afraid its not far from reality.
Greetings.
