Is there actually any real engagement on here with people who can affect the game? cause this forum seems to lack it, Just looks full of spam from some fake heroes or whatever they are called who seem to answer everything even if it doesn't add anything to the topic.Where are the real EA employees? Or should we accept that this game is dead , its broken and apart from updating the microtransactions there will be no further updates.

@Scottcook@ScottcookConsidering these forums are primarily for players off EA games to help other players off said games to find answers about gameplay, issues and bugs.Only real EA staff here are community managers who, would you believe manage the community.No fake heroes on this board: just us real champions. 😂🙄As for the game. Only updates will be bug fixes and other minor stability issues.As F1 23 will be their main priority as it will be here in 6ish monthsLastly we are a community.

@Scottcook What would constitute "long term" in this case?F1 forums moved here to EA Answers only this year, close to the release of F1 22. Before that all community activity took place mainly on Codemasters' own forum. It was like this for ages.If you've been around by that time, you've most definitely come around Codemasters own staff posting there. Mostly Barry, our former Community Manager, but devs from the handling and audio team would often chime in.If by long term you mean since these boards opened a few months ago, it's hard to miss the Q&A with David Greco, the main codemasters' dev for physics and handling of F1 games. The thread is literally pinned to this board main page. Brad Porter, the audio director, has posted plenty on audio related threads. You can even catch the guys from the telemetry service chatting around with none other than Iko Rein - absolute stud of the sim racing community as a whole and creator of one of the most robust telemetry tools available in the scene.If you've been around for more than one game cycle you should also be familiar with the development stages of an annualized franchise like Codemasters' F1. The devs activity in the forums go up and down depending on how deep in the weeds they are with the game development. Right now it's pretty much all hands on deck on F1 23 development - or, as Barry would put it, a F1 related project which existence he could neither admit or deny at this point in time 👌🏻You'll probably catch whiff of the devs once things kick in on post production or perhaps even around the release window, when marketing picks up and dev time dials down. F1 22 is obviously still supported, but by a smaller, post production crew.We should not expect any more major updates. As it was with F1 2021 by this time of the of year - and with F1 2020, F1 2019...You can easily find all those games' patch history online. F1 2021 complete list of updates are available on its respective EA's webpage.So by long time I guess you mean a couple months? Stick around. These boards have their own tide of users coming and going depending on how hot the F1 game and/or eSports scene are on the moment, but there's a core of veteran users that bridged the gap from the original forums closing down. You'll eventually get some good laughs and solid input from them.This chap here for instance, @ScarDuck14, has the equanimity and goodwill of a saint and will try his best to help a user out. If you've been around, you've seen that.

@Scottcook - if there were no EA employees reading how would they know who were the really helpful players contributing on here, that they then promote to the rank of Champion or even Hero ?!? By the way, I was prompted to reply when @ScarDuck14 popped this up to make sure someone from EA read it

So its what i thought, There is no proper help.
Just people in their basement who reach a certain amount of posts to get a badge to pretend they are working for ea.

The only proper takeaway from this post, as I see it: sometimes people may use "long term" to denote "a couple of days".
🤷‍♂️
I mean, "people in their basement" is an immature and crude attempt at a personal insult that is completely at odds with the very title of this thread - being a "long term" lurker.
If OP was indeed a long time user, he would know how off the mark he was with his egging on Codemasters' staff and know how they often chip in, and this would only underline how out of spite the insult was attempted.
If he's not, only got shown how off the mark he was (there's a pinned thread on this page of a huge Q&A with the long time physics head dev of the franchise, just to pick one example) and decided to gift us this offhanded goading.
