A reference for more believable/realistic physics in F1 25
- The braking doesn't absurdly lock-up the car by generating absurd amount of understeer even with the lightest intensity as if it was unrefined. - the chassis has biref and quick rebound/porpoising after crossing bumps and kerbs( feels too slow in F1 25 and it's unrealistic ); - the engine sound and gear shift is more accurate, Watch yourself the video and compare to your job. You're not there yet on the quality side of the handling and physics of the car on the road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSBTPc03Zj8Are driver ratings connected to a EA account?
Hello! I decided to make an account because I wanted to check something involving driver ratings and I have been playing the older F1 titles for comparison. So in the older games if you were playing on console you would automatically sign into codemaster's racenet servers, which would obviously give you access to multiplayer or any other online features like driver rating updates. now I assume EA has taken over this kind of concept and put their own spin on it by requiring you to input a email and make a EA account instead of it all being automated. A few months ago I bought WRC on sale, I decided to use a tempmail address cause I didn't really want to use my actual personal email for a game that at the end of the day requires me to have a account to play online. I didn't really care much for it and it got blocked and banned a hour later cause of that, which was no big deal since I wanted to play singleplayer anyways. I didn't care much for multiplayer or any external online features. Fast forward to f1 25, I managed to pick up the game physically second hand so I didn't pay full price and I run into the same issue "your EA account is blocked yada yada" however with this season 2 update there's driver ratings!And in the older games you would have to go into your email through the online portion of the game to update the ratings (2021 did this) now I ask, are the driver ratings automatically applied on installation or do I have to have a EA account to update driver ratings? If it's the latter, that's ridiculous. I can't unlink the previous temp mail address because EA's whole thing about permanently linking a email to a Xbox account And I can't just simply switch it over to the current one I just made now today to fix this issue. The fact that a driver rating update is behind a account wall that, most people probably don't want to just simply throw their email at because knowing companies like EA they have data breaches all the time is unacceptable. Any response to clear this up would be nice, thank you.
Blue Distance Boards [minor feature request]
It seems that 100m distance boards have changed color to blue with white text, some time during the 2025 season. It’s been obviously visible for a quite a few races now, and it really helps distinguish the 100m board from the other ones. It would be really cool if this change was reflected in the game as well. It would also be really helpful, particularly for those of us racing without racing lines, to more easily spot the 100m boards. Adding a onboard still image from the Spa GP last week that shows the blue 100m board.Give me my money back EA
This game is crap. They should refund the R$400.00 I paid for the iconic edition. The AI is horrible, unbeatable in a straight line, the performance of the teams and drivers is random, they can't even update the performances. They're going to release a patch just for the movie. Screw those cars from the movie. We need a good game. Don't release the game any time soon. Wait until August. Who knows, maybe they'll release unfinished games full of bugs. Put the AI from F1 24 in this game. It's much better than the one they have today.Career Mode Created Characters to be available for use in all future F1 games.
Allowing created players in Career Mode to carry over into future F1 games would provide a deeper, more immersive experience for fans who invest time in developing their custom driver’s legacy. This continuity would enhance long-term engagement, giving players a greater sense of progression, attachment, and realism across game installments—mirroring the real-world evolution of a racing career. We should at least have the option to be able to carry the career over as well as having the option to create a new one.Calendar, Tracks & Myteam
From a calendar point of view, the 10,16 or 24 selections are so out of date now and there is no reason for me why this can't become fully adjustable, say from 10 races onwards. Also, you absolutely should now be able to change the calendar order. Anyone who has seen F1 Manager footage knows this is more than possible. Track wise, I get licensing etc but come on... lets get Istanbul Park, Sepang, Hockenheim, Nurburgring, Paul Richard, Portimao and Mugello in the game as options to add to the calendar. Moving away from old gen consoles I'd love for this to be possible. I still think it sucks that you can't add your own character to myteam. Even if you end up releasing them and they join other teams it would be a cool feature. Lastly, pre-season testing would be good, maybe one or two sessions where you follow programmes to unlock R&D dependent on your performance.Suggested improvements to the pilot career mode in future versions of the game
I'm in the fourth season of my driver career mode, and it's incredible how nothing happens as you reach important milestones in your career. I started in a small team until I arrived at Mercedes and became champion, all to try to simulate the most common driver trajectory as much as possible. But since my first achievements, like my first podium, my first victory, and even my first championship title, nothing has happened, not even a congratulatory message from the engineers in my inbox. It's bizarre. It would be amazing if we had some cutscenes for these key career moments. In the end, it breaks the immersion not having anything for these key moments.Suggest Improvements for F1 26
Last year there was a thread that lumped all the suggested improvements in one place. I was looking at it earlier to day and I see many of the same issues exist this year. Just looking at my suggestions they did split the driver from the owner which I like, but I get others don’t and they made the race suits less shiny. Things I would have liked to see were: Ability to turn weather off in my team and career modes Qualifying programme at all tracks to help set AI Ability to turn off sprint races in my team and career mode, or change weekends Pit box order changes season to season AI consistent track to track, qualifying to race, wet to dry, and season to season Pit crew and team wear options, not just the one tired style for each. More base my team customization options to start, put them in the store if you want Rivalries are hollow without some sort of media interplay. Ability to change AI mid session or if you restart a session. Things I would add after this year’s edition are: Allow us to set race strategy for both My Team drivers Add hot seat so we can be both drivers at the same weekend Make the icons look young enough to actually still be in F1 Let us make our own icons so we can drive as ourselves if we want. This one is purely subjective 5. If you insist on keeping the sponsor liveries and suits, make them more classic. This one would not be listed if there were more, classic base items to start with. If you could only implement 1 it would be the ability to shut off weather for obvious reasons.
