Ideas
Game: EA Sports F1 25
Platform: PS5 crossplay disabled
Mode: Two Player Career (Co-Op)
Issue Type: Bug – Incorrect starting grid after qualifying
Description:
When playing Two Player Career in the same team, after completing a full qualifying session (Q1, Q2, Q3), the starting grid for the Sprint Race (or the Race itself) is incorrect.
For example:
I qualified P1
My co-op partner qualified P3 but received a +5 grid penalty
Despite this, I was placed in P7 for the Sprint, and my teammate was also misplaced
The qualifying results seem to be completely ignored or scrambled, and penalties don't behave logically
This seems to happen regularly
AI difficulty or settings are changed mid-weekend (possibly triggering a reset)
A Sprint Weekend is selected (but also happens without it)
Expected Result:
Players should start the race according to their qualifying results, with correct penalty application
This bug was also present in F1 23 and has not yet been resolved in F1 25. It severely affects the fairness and realism of Co-Op Career mode.
Please investigate and fix this issue.
