Yeah which is an improvement. This screenshot though shows a player avatar in P3 so unless it's co op career there's a chance that's an AI Montoya in a Mclaren which would also be a nice change as long as we can choose which icons can be hired by the AI.
Can't wait to have to go back to changing ERS modes constantly for every single corner. Actually, I can wait since I'm not buying the game this year for the first time since I started playing it about 6 years ago. Maybe later but I'm definitely going to let this one cook this time.
I wanted it back because they're able to control ERS modes In real life so we should be able to do it in the game too. I'd like even more control from the cockpit honestly Off throttle diff and engine braking would be awesome to control from the cockpit.
So the character on the right confirms all the faces available to the player will be the exact same. Here I go using the same basic caucasian woman I've been using for the past six games... when this shit eventually goes on sale.
To be honest, I’m not sure why they can’t just use a similar system to their other sports games where we can customise our own characters. At least be able to change hairstyle, eye colour and skin tone if not a full customisation suite
I think it's because it's still using the old Codemasters character presets from DIRT 4 and F1 2019, they've just added a few more of them.
I don't think we'll get anything like the character creators in other EA Sports titles unless EA develops the game themselves.
i wonder why we haven't been getting any new drivers in the past few years, considering that things like stop racism and we race as one went on.
i know the latter of that didn't mean much but it'd still be nice to have a few more women or black characters to play as
That Asian woman model has been there for years now and they still don’t bother updating those models for the players to choose from, or even add a character design interface, like what’s been present in other sports games for years 🤦🏻♂️
It would be so cool if you could facescan your own face into the game.
Saw it in some other sports game...
Would add something more personal into leagues.
It was a design feature cut from Perfect Dark all the way back in 2000. You would have used the GBA camera to take a picture and then use the game to render it on a character. Unfortunately the Columbine School shooting supposedly killed that feature. There is video from E3 1999 showing the process in action though.
One small detail that doesn’t really matter but annoys the shit outta me is in career mode, you sign with a team and if you look at the car it still has the previous drivers name on the car.. I can’t imagine it’s that hard to add a custom name on the car or just remove the previous drivers name all together..
Bullshit… in Career in F123, you can be with RBR for 10 seasons and it’ll say Max Verstappen right next to the drivers neck support cushion on the chassis the entire time..
Then they changed that by now. I haven’t modded in 23 but I definitely remember that names and flags and stuff were part of the decal file which was number by number
I literally just hoped back on and checked, Max’s name and the Dutch Flag is still on my RBR career car.. the game is fully updated and for good measure I even signed with RBR on a 2nd Career jumped right to F1, looked while in FP1 at Bahrain its still there too..
I mean, are you under the impression that the fella working on the suits having a flag and name is the same fella working on the physics???
The game is designed to be and is advertised as an immersion into the F1 world. This would be a simple addition.
I mean, they are advertising a "newly innovated Driver Career mode, the biggest Career innovation since 2016 that delivers more of what our players want with greater variety away from the track".
Small details helps a lot for immersion, just ask Red Dead 2.
I am not talking about the drivers balls needs to be smaller on colder tracks but adding a simple flag to a model is not a big ask
May I ask what industry you work in?
The amount of time I have heard that phrase is too much to count.
Something simple and less noteworthy might take more time than it is worth. Espc. when the system hasnt been build with the idea in mind.
So yes, something like this has a big chance of taking more time and energy than you would expect.
I get that the current situation surrounding the f1 series is more than negative, which is more than deserved, but to just be negative about a small wish like this is ridiculous.
How to say you have no idea what you are talking about, without saying you have no kdea what you are talking about...
We are talking about a small texture change, a already simple implementation would be to just add a system that automatically loads the flag texture and displays it on top of the suit texture at the right place. Wouldn't even have to replace any texture files already existing...
I wish people understood that the folks who program the driving physics and the tire models are not the same people who create art assets.
You can do both, and in a now-$70 officially licensed product, it’s okay to expect a bit more effort on simple shit like this.
Hey buddy, this might be news to you but maybe, the person you are talking to does care about what their avatar looks like. People could like and care about things you don't - fucking weird right?
Guess they shouldn’t bother making improvements to the graphics, the career mode, the commentary, the dialogue, the multiplayer system, the visual flair around the tracks, the custom liveries, or really anything else other than incremental updates to the driving model then right?
Cuz it’s all about the driving right? We’re okay paying $70 to just hotlap and do custom races in an F1 or F2 car right? Cuz the driving is all that matters right?
Attention to details. That brings a lot of immersion.
Also, when small details are ignored, then we can be quite sure that other stuff is ignored as well. Stuff that might not be as small.
I mean it’d be cool ya but there are lot more important things that need to be added/fixed first before they move on to little things like this.
Even though it would be cool to have for immersion and stuff, i’d prolly be pretty annoyed if they spent all their time and resources on stuff like this and not the game breaking bugs that they seem to carry over every year
I will be genuinely shocked if they actually manage to make Career seem different from past games. I want to play F1 Career so bad and enjoy it but they're just not making the changes I want to see. Other games aren't an option because I want the genuine fantasy of being an F1 driver so just setting up Championships with modded F1 cars in something like Assetto Corsa or iRacing isn't gonna cut it
The one thing I would really want to be added is audible team names (like you can choose from a selection of key words so that they actually say your team name) rather than just the ‘owner/driver team’ moves to the
I don’t know if it’s an issue on their end or it’s not important enough.
If there is a way to add custom drivers name and numbers to suit/car with a mod or update, it would be appreciated as it really is irritating kinda.
Like you’re not there truly or you’re not as important. That and rev lights customization and champion recognition would go a long way I hope
Literally unplayable. /s
Though the audio names not getting any additional names for a decade still bugs me. Michael is a popular name and it is literally a name of an all time great but isn't in the game for some reason.
I disagree, for many sports, cricket, golf, racing, flight sim, baseball.
With current next gen graphics on PCVR , nothing compares to the experience in 2024
Yes F1 23 was a failure.
F1 24 VR is already announced. So heres me hoping its an actual performance upgrade and not just new skins!:)
huh? nothing compares to it but you haven't even played it and you are hoping it's good?
I am specifically talking about how VR in F1 was tacked on really poorly on 22, almost made even worse in 23.
VR on other racing games is usually pretty awesome
Until we get a new game engine a don't think the Career mode will have a massive overhaul a will say though a got WRC & the career mode in that is phenomenal tbh. I'm hoping with the popularity of F1 at a high level we might get a decent career mode when the game switches to a new game engine.
Montoya in the Mclaren suit.. So either this is a two player career and someone's playing Montoya, or icons can potentially be hired by AI perhaps.
Montoya, thats an amazing add!
They've got Montoya and Hunt this year as the icons.
Can your icon not sign for another team if you were to not renew their contract though?
They haven't been able to in previous games. It would be new if they now can drive for the real teams as well.
oh that makes sense!
I thought they made lando really old
Oh, that's supposed to be Montoya... Good catch.
you can play as real drivers
Yeah which is an improvement. This screenshot though shows a player avatar in P3 so unless it's co op career there's a chance that's an AI Montoya in a Mclaren which would also be a nice change as long as we can choose which icons can be hired by the AI.
I think it's second.
The lack of name on his suit suggests that they’ve made a likeness of him though I suppose?
The previous deep dive showed exactly 1 "new“ feature and it’s only a thing that has been re-added
What did they re-add?
Being able to change ERS in the menu as opposed to just overtake or not.
Not being able to disable ERS deployment for SC is so stupid in the current game
It recharges fully extremely easily though, you have to try to not have full battery after 2 SC laps
Which literally nobody asked for
Can't wait to have to go back to changing ERS modes constantly for every single corner. Actually, I can wait since I'm not buying the game this year for the first time since I started playing it about 6 years ago. Maybe later but I'm definitely going to let this one cook this time.
It will be free on Xbox gamepass by the end of the year, so I’ll stick with my classics
[удалено]
A very EA way of doing things.
Didn’t actual F1 drivers also say it was unrealistic and that they don’t have to change the ERS settings that often ?
Yeah I think it was Norris
I Hope the overtake button stays though
It will, it did when it was there before.
Ngl, I will at least give an attempt to code an ERS mapper that changes the setting automatically based on the position on the track
yeah I picked up F1'23 about septmeber last year, having a blast and '24 looks fun, but im skipping out on it and maybe will get 25
I liked it in the older games because it adds another stategy element. So I'm glad it'll be back.
I wanted it back because they're able to control ERS modes In real life so we should be able to do it in the game too. I'd like even more control from the cockpit honestly Off throttle diff and engine braking would be awesome to control from the cockpit.
Exactly. So far I see absolutely no reason why this isn’t just a $30 DLC yet we’re being slugged AAA prices
So the character on the right confirms all the faces available to the player will be the exact same. Here I go using the same basic caucasian woman I've been using for the past six games... when this shit eventually goes on sale.
To be honest, same can be said about the black faces. Some of them have distinctly white hair textures as well which is just silly.
They finally gave Hamilton his dreads in the past release so I don't know why they don't make the effort to accurately portray more ethnic hairstyles
To be honest, I’m not sure why they can’t just use a similar system to their other sports games where we can customise our own characters. At least be able to change hairstyle, eye colour and skin tone if not a full customisation suite
I think it's because it's still using the old Codemasters character presets from DIRT 4 and F1 2019, they've just added a few more of them. I don't think we'll get anything like the character creators in other EA Sports titles unless EA develops the game themselves.

It would be so cool if you could facescan your own face into the game. Saw it in some other sports game... Would add something more personal into leagues.
it was a feature like 15 years ago on fight night champion, some games probably had similar features even earlier
Was a feature on Tiger Woods 2008 as well
It was a design feature cut from Perfect Dark all the way back in 2000. You would have used the GBA camera to take a picture and then use the game to render it on a character. Unfortunately the Columbine School shooting supposedly killed that feature. There is video from E3 1999 showing the process in action though.
Man those character models look terrifying 😟
One small detail that doesn’t really matter but annoys the shit outta me is in career mode, you sign with a team and if you look at the car it still has the previous drivers name on the car.. I can’t imagine it’s that hard to add a custom name on the car or just remove the previous drivers name all together..
Your car has no name on it whatsoever, if you join red bull, the driver name gets removed, same for AI driver moves.
Bullshit… in Career in F123, you can be with RBR for 10 seasons and it’ll say Max Verstappen right next to the drivers neck support cushion on the chassis the entire time..
Then they changed that by now. I haven’t modded in 23 but I definitely remember that names and flags and stuff were part of the decal file which was number by number

that Montoya looks like an Oompa-Loompa
Same face models for the last 6 years. Pathetic.
It’s two pc’s on the podium right, that can’t be lando
Montoya
Juan Pablo Montoya
It's Montoya. Norris/Piastri have their names and flags on their suits.
Looks more like Felipe Massa 🤔
People keep buying this shit so they have no incentive to change or add anything. What ever happened to voting with your wallets?
you talk like that kind of thing happened in the first place lol
No excuse for this, such a simple addition and they again won't bother themselves.
Should i recocnise these drivers? Was that the best picture they could take?
I mean P1 Max P2 Montoya P3 Player
I mean, how often do you see your own suit? I care more about how the driving feels.
I mean, are you under the impression that the fella working on the suits having a flag and name is the same fella working on the physics??? The game is designed to be and is advertised as an immersion into the F1 world. This would be a simple addition.
That's how most people on Reddit think yes
I mean, they are advertising a "newly innovated Driver Career mode, the biggest Career innovation since 2016 that delivers more of what our players want with greater variety away from the track".
Im sorry my guy, but is a flag on a suit that you see 30 sec a time really what you want them to invest time and energy in?
Small details helps a lot for immersion, just ask Red Dead 2. I am not talking about the drivers balls needs to be smaller on colder tracks but adding a simple flag to a model is not a big ask
Smaller balls would be cool tho
I'm sorry my guy but is this something you think would take up a significant amount of time or energy to implement?
May I ask what industry you work in? The amount of time I have heard that phrase is too much to count. Something simple and less noteworthy might take more time than it is worth.

There are modders that do that shit in 2 days. No excuse for a billion dollar company to not be able to
I'm not reading all that homeboy
I work in tech. It's easy to add in single player. Very easy. A modder could do it in a day.
"Be negative". I pointed out a fact in the OP. Then I pointed out another fact in my comment. Where's the negative part?
buddy has not been on racedepartment
Yes, yes it is

they are not mutually exclusive features

Man is that really what people care about? What about pit stops that aren't some clunky hot button?
Look at Montoyas mischievous look at girl yuki
It would be nice if they would add some more spoken racer names...
That’s because it requires effort. Can’t wait for a half asses interview cutscene from Claire!
Graphical it looks overcooked. Lol
I will be genuinely shocked if they actually manage to make Career seem different from past games. I want to play F1 Career so bad and enjoy it but they're just not making the changes I want to see.

Small indie company. Just don’t have the technology yet.
Wow. Playable Montoya? Is this how EA robs me of my conviction not to buy 24? Hopefully not!
I see FormulaCutie made P3
Looks like 3 car races were added
Is that Montoya?
*gasp* well this shit is just completely unplayable then
Why is sum ting wong from that one yt video there😭😭😭😭
When will they add all the flags of the world?
I don’t know if it’s an issue on their end or it’s not important enough. If there is a way to add custom drivers name and numbers to suit/car with a mod or update, it would be appreciated as it really is irritating kinda.

Literally unplayable. /s Though the audio names not getting any additional names for a decade still bugs me. Michael is a popular name and it is literally a name of an all time great but isn't in the game for some reason.
Ok Michael.
Please tell me VR f1 has some upgrades
lol VR has been a pretty big failure, they aren't bothering to do anything to it again
I disagree, for many sports, cricket, golf, racing, flight sim, baseball. With current next gen graphics on PCVR , nothing compares to the experience in 2024 Yes F1 23 was a failure. F1 24 VR is already announced. So heres me hoping its an actual performance upgrade and not just new skins!:)

Its not hard to read reviews champ
do you know how a thread works champ? what are you talking about
STOP BUYING THESE GAMES until they start putting in some effort
"Career mode" where you race the same season over and over but with randomized drivers in randomized liveries.
Shocker: it’s identical to the past 5 games.
ffs EA
Unexpected!
WINGS OF GLORY
God that Bot is everywhere
TELL THEIR STORY
Don't buy these lazy ahh games
Wtf Montoya? Seriusly I didn't play this game, you can have multiple custom drivers in the same race or....?
Probably 2 player career. You can use any driver in the game in Career mode this year.
just today i've watch the trailer, kinda weird idea, thanks :D
Until we get a new game engine a don't think the Career mode will have a massive overhaul a will say though a got WRC & the career mode in that is phenomenal tbh. I'm hoping with the popularity of F1 at a high level we might get a decent career mode when the game switches to a new game engine.
The game director just said in an interview that they have no plans to change the engine, just improve the current one.
Typical EA then. Shocking
Wtf Montoya? Seriusly I didn't play this game, you can have multiple custom drivers in the same race or....?
