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!
Essential MUST-HAVE Fixes for F1 26 DLC
Hey! As a very experienced F1 gamer and long time fan of the EA F1 series, I feel almost obligated to point out and suggest a few things that EA simply cannot ignore for a successful F1 26 DLC. Feel free to add any other ideas you have in the comment section. 1 LITTLE DETAILS MATTER (THE ALPINE LOGO IN 2025 IS BLUE AND NOT WHITE!) One thing I reported even before the release of F1 25 was that Alpine changed the colour of their team logo from 2024 (white) to 2025 (blue). I reported it multiple times, even DM´d moderators about it. For Williams, you managed to fix the colour change from blue to white (thanks to my report). It´s hard to believe that you have a whole year to develop a new game, yet can´t manage to update the colour of a simple logo. These are small details that are not difficult to fix, but are extremely annoying when they´re wrong. So please take your time to get the basics right before moving on to the bigger things. 2 FULL LEADERBOARD SHOWING ALL DRIVERS/BETTER UI Also not particularly difficult, but it would do thousands of players a huge favor. More realism, more options and players wouldn´t have to rely on hobby modders paying monthly fees to do the work you should be doing. A simple Win-Win situation. 3 DRIVER/TEAM EDITOR If any of the developers or operators at EA F1 are reading this thread, could you please explain why this isn´t a feature yet? We already have it in EA FC and other EA sports games, but not in F1! We literally had to wait six months just to swap Doohan with Colapinto. Adding this feature would bring so much more variety to F1, allowing players to freely transfer drivers before and during a career as they wish. Right now, the AI´s driver changes are predictable and boring in 8 out of 10 cases, which really limits the experience. 4 MOST IMPORTANT: IMPROVE THE AI If there is one single thing you are allowed to change, it has to be this. Have you ever asked yourselves why almost all F1 content creators only produce career mode videos for the first two or three months after a new F1 game releases? Because it becomes boring. Because nothing truly changes. And I am not talking about live content or a lack of game modes. The game becomes boring because races are predictable. The AI drives fixed lines, every driver behaves the same and there are almost no mistakes under pressure - or mistakes at all. I have played every F1 game since F1 2017 and I have virtually never seen a real AI crash where two or more cars fly off the track. Maybe once in over 5,000 races there was a minor AI collision at the start. That is not realistic! In real Formula 1, incidents at the start happen in at least every third race. A DLC should focus entirely on improving AI behaviour instead of adding new modes no one asked for. Features like driver personalities, more realistic defending, occasional errors and AI crashes are urgently needed to create unpredictable, engaging races. This would allow players to stay invested for months instead of losing interest after a few weeks, while also laying a crucial foundation for F1 27 and generating real excitement for the new era of the F1 games. 5 EXTRAS As I already said, the AI has to be the main thing for the F1 26 DLC in my eyes so I don´t expect any other things. But here you have some ideas for the F1 27 game that honestly should have been in the game for a long time already: -> Custom Race Calendar -> Better AI for Monaco (I play against 105 AI every track but at Monaco I can easily win against 110) -> Historical Race Tracks (Hockenheim, Portimao, Turkiye and DO NOT DELETE IMOLA!) -> More drivers for career mode (Vettel, Magnussen, Latifi...)
Stop the auto time advancement after a race
When I finish a and go back to the HQ screen time is automatically advancing, which is annoying as sometimes I forget that its automatically advancing, and go for a drink or bio break after the race. This means that I miss out on the activities for that period, and also that chance to do other things on the days they come up! I have checked the setting and cannot see any option to turn this off, so please consider adding this! I'm playing on Xbox X.
Some Ideas for the Next Game 27 take some Inspiration
Hey Racers, i decided to take some Time to make a Feedback Sheet for the next F1 Games towards the Developers (looking at you EA and CM) and something to Discuss for everyone. If you all have a Idea to add in or wanna Discuss just write something down there and hopefully people from CM and EA will see specifically this discussion or Thread. Just be Respectful and dont hit anyones other idea off the stage. I think these Ideas would be good to make F1 games alive again. They could use some in depth from other Racing games too and Ideas from F1 Manager as well. I hope you guys say as much as me. CM_TGK EA_cuervo Cpayne32
Fix the tyre wear on console.
I moaned about this a couple months back and ik this will change nothing as usual but I meed to get it off my chest. I play on controller I consider myself to be quite fast. Similar pace to my friend on a rig, we do co-op races mostly 110 ai the races that cost me in the championship every season are the ones I am forced to do an extra stop because it is not possible to save tyres like people on a wheel. i understand wheel users should have an advantage because its harder to learn but it should not be this drastic. We are just done with the Qatar gp and I naturally 2 stopped compared to the 1 stop of my friend I was on my hard tyre 5 laps less I ended with atleast 20% more tyre wear. Like I said this has troubled me and others for months and I have tried changing my style and setups It has little to no effect. Also while I'm here make it so you can select the hard allocation on co-op career cheers EA 👍
Fanatec Xbox SDK with Recent "F126" News
Back in April there was an a post marked "solved" saying that the SDK would not be implemented for F1 25. At the time it sounded like the logical next step would be a standalone F1 26 release to have this feature released. Now that the EA have confirmed F1 26 will be delivered as an update to the current game, I'm wondering if anything has changed on the xbox SDK front? Is there any plan to implement the fanatec SDK during this "new" current cycle or are we stuck waiting until 2027 at the earliest for any level of fantec xbox SDK support? https://forums.ea.com/discussions/f1-25-general-discussion-en/will-the-fanatec-sdk-be-implemented-in-f125/12104226
My Team Custom drivers
the new my team structure is very good but my only disappointment on it is you cannot create custom drivers for the team as well as the lack of emblems. For the emblems we have the podium pass and store for sure. But for the drivers it would be amazing to create our own drivers. I understand it’s for realistic purposes but seeing button, DC, mika, senna and Schumacher on the grip is a bit far fetched on my opinion where if we could add drivers to the my team using the driver career mode would be more fun possibly or just just a flat out 2 new drivers also is there still no update on the consoles fix for radio to the engineer?? The controllers have built in speaker and mic now and is it possible to use them to be able to talk to the engineer ??
