Community assistance
Hey , can somebody on ps5 do a very quick test for me , turn off your network and boot up the game and see what models are available offline. My son wants the game and I'm leaving for navy deployment in few days and I know with living close to ocean the internet is not stable enough for constant connection requirements. I don't want to treat him to the game if he won't be able to play it . Ps store says connection required but Google/ Reddit says single player is available like previous years. Would appreciate if anybody kind enough to quickly test it for me . Thnx.
Are you a slow driver looking for a competitive league?
Sounds ridiculous, but SDG Racing League is looking for some slow-medium paced drivers to fill a new Tier. We are a very experienced and well run league that averages 19 drivers on a grid each week and rarely need to issue a post race penalty. Our drivers race hard, but respectfully and within the rules thanks to a tough penalty points system. We welcome all skill levels. All we ask for is clean racing! One of the things we do VERY well is stat tracking for every single driver. Last season we had a fairly competitive Tier, but noticed a group of slower drivers that were some way off the pace. They never gave up and raced to the chequered flag each week a lap down, and we would like to recruit some drivers to fill a new tier to allow these guys a chance to compete for podiums and wins with drivers of their skill level. As an example, some of these slower guys are lapping Silverstone Time Trial in the 1:28's with our faster guys in the 1:26-27's. So if you are a slower paced driver (we allow assists) and you want to get into competitive league racing, but you are put off by the pace of some leagues, come and check out SDG Racing League!! Obviously if you are a faster driver looking for easy wins, we really do have the stats to expose that quickly! Faster guys are welcome too! We have a very competitive top tier as well!

Re-release APX GP team
Dear, beloved EA! From the bottom of my heart, I ask you to bring back the APX GP team. A huge number of people who watched the film and weren't involved with the franchise until then fell in love with the sport, and I'm one of them. I, like many others, didn't know about the limited availability of APX GP until July 11th, but I still bought the Iconic Edition of F1 25 because it's amazing! But I beg you, I implore you! Hear us, your fans, and give this team a chance to everyone who missed out on it. We will support you and reward you with gold if you release this DLC with the team! Give the fans this opportunity, I beg you!
F1 27 Requested Features for Quality of Life and Improvement
It has been announced for Sometime that F1 26 is not going to happen and F1 25 was an improvement and a step in the right direction after F1 24 was not very appealing to many people in the community. I've discussed with many people in the F1 Community and there's been many features that can extend the life of the game and potentially bring more players to franchise. Classic Cars Being Able to Drive to Parc Ferme after a Quali or a Race Driving to the Pit Lane after a Red Flag Transfering a Driver from Team to Team in the base game (Per Example putting Tsunoda in the Aston Martin while Lance is Gone) National Anthems Manual Pitstops (For example when you roll into your box, you have to turn in yourself and make it a quick mini-game and pressing buttons to do the pitstop correctly) Letting us do Doughnuts after the season ends Custom Calender (Letting us move tracks so Per Example making the season finale in Interlagos instead of Abu Dhabi) Giving us Engineer audio cues (Per Example if it's time to box play an audio cue of Bono or GP or any driver telling us to Box) Cooldown Room Scenes TV Like Victory InLaps with the Driver Audio New Damage System Press Conferences Being stuck in gravel Better Unlapping system when it comes to the safety car F3 so we can climb our way up to F1 AI Overhall Pitlane Starts New Game Engine Better Weather (Per example it is raining in sector one not all Track) Classic Tracks Character Customization (Not just the faces that are only in the game let us make our own faces) Potentially Open World walking around the paddock VR Support for Consoles Better Damage models Car Failures even in Grand Prix Mode Interactive Race Engineer Custom Grid in Grand Prix Mode Commentary in the highlights and replay Better Car Customization for MyTeam and MyCareer Post Race disqualification for MyTeam and MyCareer Driver Academy (being called up, risk of being dropped) 3rd and Reserve Drivers Driver Icons Better Penalty System Difference in Cars in Grand Prix Mode (If I pick per example Aston Martin, I dont want to be competiting with McLaren or Ferrari, Let Me Struggle) Rolling StartsPs5 offline.
Ps store says internet required but a ea developer on Reddit replied to a post saying you can play single player modes offline. I do have PSN account and initial boot up would be online to validate purchase etc , but I'd like clarification from an ea employee if possible if this is accurate or has the situation changed since this post . Live in a area were constant internet is not possible due to close proximity to ocean. Thanks.
F1 25 DLC Suggestion - 2012 GRID.
The 2026 season will come as DLC for F1 25, I suggest that EA should consider making a similar DLC for the 2012 Grid. The 2012 Formula 1 grid is widely considered one of the most special in F1 history because it featured 6 world champions racing at the same time: Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Kimi Räikkönen and Michael Schumacher. And Nico Rosberg that would later become world champion so 7. The 2012 season started in an almost unbelievable way: The first 7 races had 7 different winners. That level of unpredictability is extremely rare in Formula 1. Many fans call it one of the greatest modern F1 seasons ever. The title battle between Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso went down to the final race at the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix in São Paulo. Vettel even spun on the opening lap in tricky wet conditions, but recovered brilliantly to secure his third consecutive championship by just 3 points. Nothing compares to having Schumacher, Vettel ,Alonso, Hamilton and Raikkonen on the same grid. And rather rare in F1, the grid had 12 teams leading to a total of 24 drivers. Look on Youtube "F1 2012 season" and you will find titles like "The Story Of The Most DRAMATIC Formula 1 Season Ever (2012)" or "The GREATEST Formula 1 Season of All Time".F1 Driver Career Options for people who only want a pure driving mode?
F1 Driver Career has a few "mini-games" with the: car upgrades, staff missions, departments objectives, practice objectives, etc. I would like to be able to ignore all of that and only do racing without losing stats. In other words, I would like for the car upgrades, staff missions, practice objectives (everything that is not about the race) to not matter in whether you remain competitive or not. To only worry about the driving. I am basically asking for "pure driving mode" in Driver Career. There are a few things I do to mitigate this is, but it cripples your car long-term: Turn on Automatic Development -> This is the biggest one, in career settings, car development. The game handles upgrades for you, you don’t need to do practice objectives or micromanage departments, this alone removes 70% of the mini-game burden. But, it's very inefficient and you will fall behind. When you're doing a career mode with Automated R&D and the team refuse to do a power unit upgrade that is 98% discounted and costs 14 resource points. I wish this was more balanced. Not getting ahead but not falling behind either, just doing a decent job. Quick Practice -> For the least interaction, but to still: earn resource points, complete development objectives, so that I would not fall behind and **bleep** your car long-term. I wish when you skipped practice you would not lose this but randomly get some of those points & objectives as if you have already made them, basically an "automatic practice" but without having to go into the Quick Practice interface and waste time there. It's strange that if I want a "pure driving mode" I can actually get that in My Team, where you can set everything to automatic, focus only on driving and tune difficulty for realism.
Connection error
For a month I tried to solve this “Unable to connect to EA servers” and “Online Services Error”, with an error code 2446953695:S. I reinstalled the game, reinstalled AC, tried vpn, dns settings, changed port in router settings and dmz. Nothing worked. Then I tried to use my phone as modem, I booted the game, finally no "online services error", but then game says me that I don't have EA account. How to deal with this??
