They're not going to give us anything for free!!! Wishful thinking!!! 😂
I tried this mode this afternoon and it took me about 15 minutes to get into a lobby. Just kept getting an error message to say it was full every time. Leaving a player waiting 15 minutes to join a lobby is unacceptable for a premium priced game. That's not a good experience!!
When I do manage to join, it seems to be against the same 3-4 players all the time. There has to be more than 4 people online playing the game, surely? I have a great connection and my NAT type is open, so why can't I find anyone to race?
I've also completed all the weekly challenges and already unlocked 1 helmet and 1 livery and now all my races offer very few points to buy the rest. Meaning I either have to stop playing the mode and come back next week, or I have to grind about 50 races to afford the next Livery...... Either way, terrible player experience!
I really appreciate being given new modes, but they never seem completely thought through,,,,
We keep getting the "Player Favourite" Elimination mode being added and removed..... If it's a player favourite, why keep taking it away/?? We paid for the game, so let us play it!!
Obviously they won't give it for free and maybe that was the wrong choice of words. But it seems pointless adding a game mode that a) you can't even get into, and you're probably spending most of your time trying and then when you do get in, probably eliminated first due to cheating or greifers or b) you do all the challenges etc done and you don't have enough points to complete the rewards, play how you want go play basically.
I don't want to seem like hating on the game, I love f1 25, and started a new career mode as Oscar Pisatri (if he can't win it himself, I'll win it for him lol), I love grinding away at time trails and getting faster, learning the tracks. There's very few racing games I play, and I genuinely enjoy this one. I really want it to do well because this is the only formula game we get. Is it perfect? No. But do I have fun? Yes. I'm not criticising it because it's a terrible game, I'm criticising it because I'm a player of the games. Its cool getting new game modes. And I think adding new game modes are great, its changes up the game, and gives something different, and thats really awesome, but if you aren't gonna look at the underlining issues of the multiplayer, and not take on feedback from players as to why they think something isn't a great addition, then unfortunately you're not doing your jobs right. Games thrive and succeed on communication with the community, it's how games become great. Without community feedback, the game just doesn't click, it dissolves and fizzles out, and only the hardcore fans stick around.
Yes definitely add more games modes, give us something new and fun to do, but also, listen to the fans, the ones that have valid points about the game, ones that can steer the ship in the right direction, and ignore the ones that just say "GAME SUCKS, MAKE BETTER GAME, DEVS SUCK BLAH BLAH BLAH". Constructive criticism is what is needed in video nowadays, not mindless dribble.
Also devs, I appreciate your hard work, and yeah it is annoying when we have feedback for the game because you guys are probably excited for the new mode. But the bare and bottom line is, the new mode has a matchmaking issue where your loading into a session and then you get an error saying session is full. That needs fixing because I would actually like to try the mode out a some point. Please keep up the good work and adding new modes in. It is a breath of fresh air seeing new modes, just would actually like to play them and not spend hours trying to get in hahahaha. But keep up the work and just listen to actual Constructive criticism. Thank you devs.
