F1 25 - 2 player career - wrong starting grid bug
Hello, I’ve been experiencing a glitch in f1 25 two player career with my friend and what seems to be happening is that on the formation lap we are shown different grid positions and once completed it will put us in the wrong positions it seems to happen after one of us gets a penalty in qualifying. For example in Miami SPRINT qualifying my friend got a 10 place grid which he served in the sprint race. However come the Main Grand Prix after me qualifying p14 and my friend qualifying p2 but on the formation lap I was shown what the grid should look like and my friend was shown a random grid that was not the result from quali there were no other penalty’s from any other drivers and the grid was completely random. After the formation lap the game reset us into the random grid order therefore resulting in an unfair advantage for us. Below I have outlined an image of my friends starting grid compared to mine. if anyone could help resolve the problem OR if EA could acknowledge this problem and help me or fix this bug it would be appreciated. It s quite annoying when it happens as it makes the game unfair. Thanks Omar
Calling all Battledads! Solo & Co-op is still ignored.
What is a Battledad? It's a guy who has a family, works full time and cannot dedicate hours upon hours into a game. Well my fellow battledads, it looks like we are still being ignored with our simple ask for solo and co-op in the same style as 2042. Some say that needing bots means the game has failed. Really? When you are able to be a sweaty and grindy no life, then bully for you. Enjoy the online PvP. Some of us have lives and are unable to dedicate that much time and effort into the game. Hence we enjoyed being able to dive into the game against bots with a friend or as a single player. Getting to see all the maps and slowly unlocking the weapons and attachments at our own pace without all the irritating mouthing off and non-stop deaths to sweaty gamers. I thought we were getting somewhere when CASUAL BREAKTHROUGH was announced. At last I thought, #Dice #EA and the #Devs are finaly listening to the many thousands of us who are angry at losing the accessibility of just enjoying the game in the solo and co-op modes. For so many, having this missing was a deal breaker for buying the game. Some of us did with our hopes put into Portal, but that turned out to be a complete farce and a time waste. So much for "Play the game how you want to". What utter **bleep**. I tried this new mode and can't see what's different. I was greated with LVL75 players who has red gun MASTERY emblems. Hmmmm, so how is this casual? Just more sweats jumping onto the very mode that some of us are trying to use to learn the game in short stints when time allows. Why is it so hard to add the two modes back in? Who does it harm? Put 50% or even 30% XP onto solo and co-op modes, and give the game back to the battledads. Gain yourselves a bit more server space back. Make thousands of annoyed, cheated and £70 poorer busy people a chance to play like they did in 2042. I loved going on with my daughter in co-op. She is handicapped, so the slower pace meant she could enjoy the game with me and still get somewhere. It is baffling that this mode still has not been added into the game. Such a massive shame. Will it ever be included? There would certainly be more sales judging by the amount even on these forums who would like to see its return. My brother won't buy it because these modes are missing. I'm sure there are many like him. I guess us battledads just have to keep asking for it to come back.Disaster! Nhl26
Sorry to say EA! But personally I believe this years NHL 26 game is a disaster I've played NHL games since 94 and none have been perfect but I enjoyed the game play this year was for me very disappointing . so much I deleted the game of my console . There may be many who love it but for me I think it a total mess of a game . I perhaps never buy any future games you design like that ; there are so many things I dislike that make this game bad ! Just to name a few you finish xp path early and you wait and wait and wait for the new xp path there should be a continuation for players who finished early! Second line combos ok indea but I think it foolish I can only play what line combo you set ! That not for me I just want to build and play with out line BS and there is so much more to mention about this game I would be a book writer by the time I'm done. Thanks EA perhaps a little more insight from the NHL community may help with design ..
Dear EA/DICE: You’re Losing the Battlefield Community
Dear Developers, I want to start by saying that I honestly wish I didn’t have to write this post. I’m writing this as someone who’s genuinely sad and frustrated. It’s obvious that EA wanted to attract CoD players — and at first, I completely understood that and had no problem with it. My first impressions from the Beta were great, I was truly hyped, pre-ordered the Phantom Edition, and couldn’t wait for October 10th. Today I’m level 110, and I think it’s finally time to share my thoughts. I’ve been playing Battlefield for around 15 years, and my favorite will always be BF2 (RIP GameSpy). Well… we definitely got a product aimed at CoD players — but in the worst possible way. The TTK and TTD are absolutely miserable, the 4-player party limit is a joke, forced operator choices feel out of place, and there’s NO SERVER BROWSER! How can the lead producer say we don’t need one? I honestly thought it was a joke at first — and that the community feedback would be heard — but nothing ever happened. Matchmaking is a disaster. Every second match I play is completely unbalanced. There’s no option to pick the attacking or defending side without disconnecting and reconnecting a dozen times until it finally puts me where I want to be. This problem used to be handled by server admins through the browser — they helped keep matches fair and balanced. And don’t even get me started on the challenges. They’re an absolute pain to complete. I honestly don’t know if they were designed by an AI or by someone who’s never actually played the game, but they’re a complete tragedy. The overall pace of the game is way too fast, leaving almost no time for proper teamplay, even when you actually try to play tactically with friends. The gameplay experience feels on par with BF2042 — but ironically, that game still had more freedom. I honestly get the feeling that the developers haven’t played this game for more than 20 minutes… or worse, that this is intentional — which would be really sad and could bury the entire franchise. What also really disappoints me is the complete lack of developer feedback here on the forums. I understand you can’t respond to every single post, but it would be basic respect to at least address some of the hot topics here. Right now the community feels unheard, like our frustration just keeps piling up and EA leadership simply doesn’t care. Maps, maps, maps… This topic has already been brought up several times — and yeah, I wouldn’t say the maps are terrible, but they are really, really small and focused entirely on running and shooting with no sense of tactics whatsoever. As for the bugs, I’m still patient for now. We’re only in the first season, and I know updates will come — bugs happen in every game at launch. That said, I did expect a bit more polish for a 100€ title, but I can still understand it… for now. To end on a more positive note — the graphics are absolutely beautiful. I just wish we could enjoy this amazing world with more freedom, playing the way players want to play, not the way we’re being forced to. Please, developers — take a little time to listen to what players here on the forums are saying and what’s frustrating them. Otherwise, this could genuinely bury the whole franchise. Thank you for your time.Stadium Atmosphere Grades in Dynasty Dont change
Hey EA, I wanted to bring up something I’ve noticed about stadium atmosphere grades in Dynasty Mode. Right now, the grades feel almost completely static they don’t really change season to season and I know you might of Intended that for this years game. and I think that makes long-term dynasties feel less dynamic. I understand the intention might be to keep grades stable, but there’s room for improvement. In CFB 25, atmosphere grades would change, sometimes too dramatically, but in CFB 26, they barely move at all. I feel they should evolve more naturally over time, especially for Power 4 programs. For P4 teams, stadiums have the potential to be real fortresses, and the atmosphere grades should reflect that. Most SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and other Power 4 stadiums could consistently reach very high grades, while smaller or less engaged programs would stay lower. For example, Scott Stadium at UVA historically had low grades because of weak attendance, but in seasons with bigger games or night matchups, the potential exists for the atmosphere grade to rise noticeably. Right now, the grades don’t adjust, after a season no matter what you do. Win all home games, win nattys, win rival games, nothing. Like any given SEC stadium can be a constant fortress depending on how the teams are performing and I think stadium grades should reflect that at least weekly IMO. I think the system should scale differently for P4 and G5 programs. For G5 teams, keeping atmosphere more stable makes sense due to smaller fanbases, but for P4 teams, the stadium grade itself should change more visibly from season to season. High-performing programs or teams in competitive conferences should be able to achieve higher grades, while consistently struggling programs should see lower grades over time. Overall, I think this is something worth revisiting in a future patch. The stadium atmosphere feature is great, but the grades should evolve dynamically to better reflect the real-life potential of each program. Adjusting the system would make Dynasty Mode feel much more realistic and immersive.
Party Size/Platoons
In Previous BF Titles we had platoons, Squads of 5+, and parties that could accommodate more friends than 3 additional people. In the recent Titles, this number has been lowered to Squads of 4 and no way to game with groups larger than 4 (Parties are also locked down to 4 people). My Friends group attempts to play together by leaving after a round and re-joining on me/my friends in my party and hope the Queue isn't too long. But it would be a MAJOR game feature if we could all party up and go from round to round seamlessly. I'm ok with leaving Squad size at 4 if we can have 2 or more squads linked, or even just allowing a Party size of 8 and allowing the people in the Party to match make even if they have to split into squads once they are in the new round.Cheaters?
I've noticed recently the amount of incredibly skilled players has been on the rise, and I mean INCREDIBLY skilled, almost robotic if you get what I'm saying. The type of player who can snap between players and wipe out an entire squad like it was nothing hitting nothing but headshots and you know... It's only really been this noticeable after the BR and Gauntlet dropped as a free to play it's sort of like they gave every cheat developer a free way to test their anticheat and find a workaround.
