Why F1 22 is the worst F1 game in recent years

[@Goji88]

It is sad to see the F1 game franchise in this state. I just don’t see EA and Codemasters changing this. They just look at the purchases and not the player count. Really the ones who keep playing the game know what the game needs but it won’t really affect sales so they don’t listen. It the first time in the 6 years I’ve been playing the F1 games I just don’t really want to play the game. I do hope they will one day listen to the players and make a F1 game which people truly enjoy. 😔

[@michaelvalesano3541]

F1 2020 was my last I bought ,I moved to ACC and don't even want come back to f1 games they feel arcadish

[@wife9571]

i’m sorry to say i likely contributed to this. i only got into motorsport last year (yes, i’m american - no, i didn’t watch DTS), so F1 22 was my first F1 game. i absolutely love it, but of course i have nothing to compare it to, and after listening to the community i can definitely understand it. it really, really, really sucks that they got bailed out by F1’s rise in popularity, particularly here in the states. it means that their obviously basement level standards will appear “normal” to new players like me, while they completely betray their long time fans. i’m sorry to have lined their pockets and encouraged this behavior, i will certainly not buy next year’s edition unless veteran players are pleased with the improvements.

[@senseikawasaki2326]

I think its also the fact its Always the same game, its pretty normal after 6 yrs to start getting bored, its happening also in other games like fifa or nba 2k where every year its Always the same

[@senseikawasaki2326]

For example i played gt sport for like 3-4 before getting bored, then bought gt7 and even if its clearly an improvement i got bored in like 3 months and went back to f1 22, why? Because the game basics are the same and if i think the sport mode is good it became boring

[@Carguy9826]

I really like the new formation lap and the pitstops but the ai is (or was I don’t play anymore) so powerful on the traction because you lose like 3 positions with one pitstop. Also I hate the new handeling model, I finally could do lap after lap after lap online racing in f1 2021 and now I have to learn to not spin in a corner

[@Fef_Jones_Drew]

It's just too random when you spin. I personally love the game because I found the league that I race in during this game. Hopefully 2023 will be better because the newer cars will just be more recycled and they'll be able to focus on more pressing matters

My first game was F121, which I played on controller to learn how to drive and learn the tracks, then for F122 i preordered it and spent money on a racing wheel. I just downloaded F120 yesterday and played a few races and the difference in the handling model and traction is staggering. I didn’t realize that in ‘22 I was constantly trying to not spin out, which is near impossible to detect because the feedback is shite. In ‘20, I can fly around and the track and actually fight other drivers, rather than 100% damage control.

[@atlantic_love]

[@ollydavis2495]

The random spins alone stopped me playing the F1 games. Completely infuriating to play. Either you play medium traction which feels awful and takes your control away from the throttle or you play traction off and coddies decide to make you roll a dice at any cambered corner to whether you will spin for no reason or not

[@zachbishop5421]

Ive literally sat there and used flashbacks in the same corner over and over and you most definitely spin at complete random😂 I'd try to do as close to the exact same thing everytime and 17-18 of 20 times are great and the others I just snap around lol like the last sequence of turns in Australia are a nightmare😂

[@MustafaAuto]

I did a 50 lap race in Bahrain in assetto corsa using the formula hybrid 22s, the grip was so consistent, never had any random spins, you can slowly feel the tires degrading but nothing major or unpredictable like the f1 game, the question is ,how a small team of people with a much much smaller budget managed to build a much better and realistic car than codmasters?

After years of league racing and getting banned from the forums multiple times for telling them how they are ruining this franchise by half arsing it and focusing on the wrong stuff, I've 100% given up on it. The only thing that would improve the sales and attractivity of the game is the game finally working. Penalty system has been trash for a decade, multiplayer in general in terms of disconnects, desyncs, rpm glitch while spectating.. And instead of improving the spectators UI and make it look super good, add replay functions, live stewarding for leagues, and stuff that would actually put the game to a new level. They add scripted seasons and menu background customization. Yearly release is what's hurting this game the most. New season should be a dlc for a game that they keep improving on for years. and just gets better Instead we get the same game, with a few different filters, some grip/handling values changed around, 1 or 2 new 'features', and probably a handful bugs of yore that they reintroduced for god knows what reason. This franchise is being ruined by bad business decisions only going for short term gain all the while ruining the long term potential that it really had. i'm quite convinced they could have 10x the playerbase if they would just have seen that earlier and realized it's a well functioning game that makes people hang around and not free choice of rugs. I'm so with you that i want these games to succeed. I want a good F1 game and i think F1 is really dropping the ball too by having the incompetence of codemasters reflect so bad on their brand. Or at least fail to see the potential that a good f1 game could have on it. It's so sad that a lot of fun gets destroyed by these exclusive deals that ensure no competition and has them just pooping out overpriced (80 euro if you got the 4300xp edition) less than mediocre games. It's about the pinnacle of motorsport and technological innovation. Meanwhile we can't even use our mouse in game or restart the session without all leaving the game. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

[@Frankus14]

For me the A.I were awful to race against as I mainly played two player career with a friend. The A.I would drive into you constantly, spin you out and even times keep driving into you even when they've spun you sideways onto their front wing. Also they have this unrealistic acceleration boost out of corner exits onto straights regardless if their exit was good or poor as one example i watched an A.I infront of me get a massive snap of oversteer on a corner exit, only to then immediately have this massive acceleration boost and gain 3 tenths immediately even after the oversteer incident. Thats my biggest gripe as I'm mainly a career player as this was my first f1 game I played properly

[@oldboydog]

Best pressure is to stop paying for it. Ironically, this was the first time I've ever paid full price on release(I'm tight on funds too). Oh well. Next year I'll be waiting until bugs are fixed and price drop, if I buy it at all. Lots of other games to play. As a player who isn't very good, but stubbornly only plays with no assists, I'd like to see a better overall driving feel, particularly a better sense of the grip limits, which you've addressed many times

[@oldboydog]

I should add, the AI driving into me when I clearly have at least half of my car on the inside of a corner is ridiculous. I don't play a tonne, but when I do, I run practice GPs to find where the AI is best to overtake, and it's usually on the outside for me to avoid the AI smashing my wing. If it's a human player, they wouldn't close that door knowing it's automatic damage.

It really blows my mind that there were people sitting around a table and saying that F1 life will be the next best thing to come to a F1 game. I have had the game since its launch and I have literally spent a max total of 5mins in F1 life. Its a RACING game! Give me amazing racing! The saddest part of all this is there has been a significant boost in viewership and interest in F1 since the start of Drive to Survive. There is no better time than now to make a great F1 game and yet I look (just like limitless) to every other racing game to give me the F1 driving experience. The F1 franchise needs a complete new graphic engine. I would go as far as to say that F1 manager's graphics looks better than f1 2022, and it's a manager game for crying out loud. I am unbelievably frustrated with this game and I have put myself out of my misery and uninstalled it. RIP F1 2022

Man, F1 life could've been a great addition to the game if implemented right.

My dream (which will never happen) would be iRacing partnered with F1 and we got all of the tracks from the calendar, as well as adding some of the F1 rules (3 qualifying sessions, safety cars, formation lap). The handling of iRacing is a million times better, VR actually works, it's just missing those last few bits to be able to run a full AI season for maximum immersion (as well as not having liveries for other teams)

[@atlantic_love]

If I'm reading your comment correctly, VR has nothing to do with being able to run a full AI season for maximum immersion. Definitely, iRacing is where it's at for actual competition with other humans. As far as AI goes, iRacing has no more an advantage there than any of the other sim racers.

I am beyond annoyed by the constant inconsistencies in things like the way the cars react over curbs and low speed traction (especially at the starts).

[@scuderiadoggo378]

Here are my problems I see in F1 22: first of all, I feel like the difficulty in the game is all over the place as even putting them on 60-79 it feels like you're facing them +10 higher (so that means it feels like they bunk up the difficulty) so if playing on 110 or higher, it feels like it's 120-140 difficulty ai. It could been better if they fix it like how it was bit competitive to race against ai since 16-20. But it can be somewhat fun sometimes. And they can take you out even as they are far away to make the corner. Supercars: it's pretty much boring because they are only used in Hot Lap and the handling is very odd. It's nice to see the car model looks ok but it's unacceptable. Online: it is very very buggy. Cross play was making game very buggy and laggy. Handling: even trying to be as precise as possible around corners, you still have your car spun out pretty much easier. Not much bad as 21 but it needs to be addressed especially the custom setups sometimes have 50/50 luck. F2: strangely enough, the cars are way more better to handle than F1 cars. Yes they can snap here and then but they are fair to handle If they bring back classic F1 cars, it'll be much fun to drive than the supercars because the supercars are only used in Hot Lap and Time Trial and that's it.

[@hornetguy9063]

Wheel spin in like 5th gear. It’s insane. I might be terrible at getting the traction down, but I don’t have any confidence to accelerate and get mobbed at the start or out of low speed corners. No TC should be more powerful than medium TC. It’s ridiculous that I am so much faster with TC

I could actually feel the grip limits and could actually control the car sliding because there was proper force feedback telling me what the car is doing…

I agree with you on ffb, as mentioned in other videos and shown when you play other games, I hadn't played assetto corsa before F1 so i thought the ffb was at its best. After playing assetto corsa its on a whole new level, the car actually feels almost real and the biggest thing was the downforce. I think they should make the ffb realistic and get laser scanned tracks.

F1 22 is my first F1 game (besides F1 Challenge ‘99-‘02 on my old dads sim rig when I was 5-8 years old) and as of right now I’m playing one controller until I can get my hands on a CSL DD. I struggled with traction so much at the beginning that I had to turn traction control on which I never do in other racing games or in real life for that matter. It bothered me how unrealistic it was. After the 1.06 update I found it easier to get traction overall but struggled to play with tc off due to randomly losing traction in the strangest of places that made no sense. I still use medium tc 70% of the time in races even though it makes the car so understeer horribly so I can complete a race without randomly losing traction on a different part of the track each lap. Im hoping I can turn off everything once I finish building my sim rig but even if I am that doesn’t solve the plethora of other like late of updates, new non-F1 Life content, etc. As for AI I felt like they were super OP in the straights at the beginning but after some update they seemed to not be as OP. They still make some goofy racing moves but I don’t find them too difficult to race against. Now I am playing with the AI difficulty set fairly low at 76 but am constantly raising it a few clicks every couple of races because I start to do a little too well after a while. One thing I will say is there seems to be a difference in difficulty between the my team and driver career modes, the latter being more difficult. Seriously hoping they release a solid game next year as I’m on Xbox so racing games are limited, especially F1.

F1 life was a waste of resources & so was supercars (nothing we really wanted) They need to focus on the core features of the game much of what has been covered & making the game as smooth as possible (not perfect ofcourse) Also , actually bring out a safety car/VSC when ai cars stop on the track side 😂 F1 Career modes needs way more effort put in. F1 2012 & 2017 had a more realistic feel to the career, way more immersion. I feel like the immersion levels have taken so many steps back. F1 2021 had post session interviews...they're gone now 💀 literally less immersion with each game. Add more little cutscenes & camera angles etc Small details go along way , especially as there isn't millions of things you can do off track. Example : 1. What about a system based on choices & interviews etc that increase/decrease a reputation (I.e. team player or indepent driver) which will make certain teams more/less likely to offer you a seat. (F2 going to F1 & just in general) 2. Targets for races that affect a percentage for your seat being taken/kept at the end of your contract period. Basically just some features to freshen up the career & keep interesting. Also add more customisation to the career mode car (more livery spots , more madeup brands...also add a few different front wing , nose , side pod & rear wear styles so you can make the car look a little different from the fia model. I guess just put effort where it means more & listen to the community 😂

Even the AI on career mode. Spinns you out or crashes into you. No penalty or nothing. And even in Australia you touch the kerb in the fst chicane and you aways spin out.

the oversteer which is there one lap but isn't the next

[@magalha05843]

My list: + Improve traction realism (saw videos of F1 drivers saying that medium TC is currently the most similar to real life) + F1 classic cars + All tracks laser scanned + Braking point back - No more (pointless) F1 Life

Been playing since 2017 and i agree. For this being the OFFICAL F1 game... unacceptable

[@Kwj997]

Me personally, I enjoy driving the super cars and feel they drive quite well for it being an f1 game. I just find it a bit pointless that you can drive multiplayer with them? Would love to have a laugh with my mates in super cars after a long f1 race?

[@WussyGaming]

Such a horrendous game since they started updating it making it flipping worse. I've actually uninstalled it recently ranting and raving and going mad on my streams trying to do a flipping season, it's such a pity. So bad is the game, i've re-installed F1 21 and removed F1 22 from my sight. Pathetic the way EA treat it's customers!

[@Fujifilmily]

I can play time trial and do 50 laps not one spin. After 3 laps online the track feels like it turns into an ice rink no matter how slow you go or how tentative you are on the throttle, around you go.

Unbelievable corruption involved in video game journalism (reviewers, mainly) and awards these days. I try to ignore them for the most part. That said, driving game of the year for F1 22 is absurd... Did *nothing* else get released this year?!

[@ORC_Diego]

I agree a 100%! Since More than 10 Years now I'm in and driving League Races. So a lot of experience. My biggest problem with this game is the physics. It is not possible anymore to understand what is happening on the throttle (sim). Since years Its the first time That I'm spinning again and again and again. Nobody on this earth can Tell me that its me. It is the game! Ridiculous power on the throttle. And I know that a lot of other drivers experience the same issues.

[@TheSt1092]

It's not mean't to be an accurate racing sim it's meant to be a console game accessible to everybody.

[@ORC_Diego]

@@TheSt1092 Then you agree with me 👍🏼. Making the throttle behaviour more difficult is not making it driveable for everybody. You didnt get my point

[@temiomo-loto4122]

@@ORC_Diego it hasn’t been difficult for me. I’ve slowly gone from assisted to manual on my controller and found it to be more fun.

I am 100% with Marcel Kiefer (Quote at 0:46 and around) on that. To quote Martin Brundle, F1 22 is "a day late and a Dollar short" and has made it easy for me to silently disengage

the connectivity ruined it for me, me and a couple friends were enjoying just going online and racing but it became so difficult to just get in a lobby together and race. endless loading screens, one of us not being able to join the lobby for no reason, after a race one of us not being able to get back to the lobby.

Do u experience ai speeding in the pit stop? I pit directly behind ai in first, when i slow to 50 the ai in front if me speeds away to it’s pit stop and comes out at least 7 seconds ahead of me despite a perfect pit stop. Do u have any experience with that? I noticed that despite perfect pit stops i come out impossibly behind. Seems the ai has no speed limit in the pit lane or something. Couldnt find anything about it online.

I still think F1 2021 was worse. The car always felt nervous in that one.

It's basically impossible to play the game on controller and medium TC drivers are quicker than no TC drivers in the league I'm in. Makes zero sense to me

Even full traction drivers are quicker lol. Last game tc off could not be challanged by someone running full traction no ways.

[@freelancetom]

Pros 1. The game is easy to play. You up on, you do some laps, you find a lobby... Depending on the time you have to play, there's something for you and in terms of accessibility this game really delivers. 2. Crossplay. Even tho we had to wait for it, the enabling of crossplay really improved league racing. 3. Good racing. The game provides good pvp racing, and the fondamental of F1 like strategy, although lacking some depth into tyre deg, plays a part into it. Which makes it enjoyable on longer races. 4. Far from beeing astonishing, the F1 game provides good graphic and general ambiance on the track. Lots of efforts are put into the details, even tho its not laser scanned tracks, and most of the tracks are enjoyable to race on. 5. F2 cars. The F2 driving model is much more consistant than the F1, and the cars are a lot of fun to drive. It provides very very good racing in PvP with players witht the same skill base. 6. The game has a career mode. Even tho it lacks polishing and upgrades from year to year, there is no other competitors delivering this level of option for a career mode. 7. Racenet data base. Thats really, really cool. Good way to learn and improve. Cons 1. Glitches at launch. 2. AI overpowered and inconsistency with car physics or skills between players and AI. Which creates a massive drawback from career mode. 3. Overpowered assists. TC makes it too easy for lower skills player to nail starts, driving under rain, and low grip corners. Its just ridiculous. Using assist should slow you down so you want to learn be better with the driving model and gain some speed and create a progression in the skills of the players. 4. Useless features. F1 life is a total loss of ressources. Supercars too. Its a F1 game. Bring me the V8 V10 era cars and iconic F1 cars like the Mp4/4. 5. Driving model. Just like you JD, I was really into the launch driving model, even tho it was less realistic, it was skill based and gave good challenge. It felt consitent on the FFB and I really enjoyed driving those cars. 6. Tyre model. This is going downhill... in the previous interations of the game, I actually felt like your driving was impacting tyre temps and tyre deg. As for now, it looks like its just equal for everyone, which is not rewarding a driver who is good preserving tyres like in real life racing. In F1 2020 and 2021, it had a huge impact on TC players as well, which was a good way to bring the skill base in a good place. Overall lots of the pros are given. Since they are selling points of the game for many years. That's the problem of franchises that have no competition in the market. EA is the actual master of giving us minor improvement over years on their franchises. In an ideal world, these franchise should work under DLC, Patches and paying updates model, rather than new interation of the same game code every year. So for example F1 23 could be a game which last 2-5 years before a brand new game comes out to replace it. Which gives more time for developpers to actually improve the gaming experience around F1. But for money making reasons... this is NEVER going to happen.

[@RukaGoldheart]

The current driving model is not even realistic right now.

[@tun04]

Classic EA... F1 franchise died in '22.

[@flyhigh879]

The handling in this game sucks, not sure how they managed to make it worse each game but it’s time for some real physics and a overhaul because this isn’t good. I think even the esports drivers will eventually stop driving if things don’t change

[@Vx1Hawk]

Worst f1 game ever... i will not buy f1 23. They don't deserve any of my money after what i saw with this garbage game. Yes, i will download it and then I will decide if buy it or not. I know is wrong, i know i shouldn't say it, i don't care i wish people do the same. They are joking us.

[@danielhudson23]

Personally for me i think its time for a change of ownership of developer, may be developers who make games like assetto corsa in my personal opinion the physics of the game is just right and that you can make changes of set up to make the difference in lap time

[@erice1647]

Why do you drive in ´Super Mario´ mode and with ghosts cars?? So unrealistic and the point of the game is to be a simulator. So the car is this year much more sensitive and when you drive in cockpit mode, which is the most realistic mode when you have a cockpit and wheels, you have a great simulation. like you dribve, you could as wel play Super Mario with a game pad??

[@pkscarr]

the big issue i've had with the AI for many games now is just how inconsistent they feel from track to track on the same difficulty. I'll set a difficulty level where I want them slightly faster than me to have a challenge, then the next track i'll be seconds faster. the track after that, seconds slower. Sometimes they're hyper aggressive. other times, so cautious that you can all but ignore them. sometimes they just... do a wet race on dry tires doing dry qualifying lap times. or zero stop full length races on one set of softs. Or forget how yellow flags and safety car periods work. It breaks my immersion so hard during a career to have to constanly fiddle with difficulty or hope the game remembers how to work today

[@purpletigerracing7087]

I haven't played in a month or so. Been playing The Callisto Protool and Mech Warrior 5 on PS5. Dead Space comes in a few days(physical copy)). But I may play F122 this weekend. Turn offs were: 1. AI dive bombing at every corner. 2. Random spins 3. Terrible starts no matter how you attempt your start. I don't do the formation lap. Maybe that would help. 4. Random tire wear/temps especially coming out of the pits. Are these issues still there? I don't mind the F1 Life stuff. I kind of like the back ground music in the lobbies. But I'm not spending my pitcoin on couches or shirts. I occasionally grab a shirt or something if it goes with the channel branding IE Purple colored stuff or Puma/cat stuff. But that's it. Super Cars are only useful for extra cash in Career Mode. I'm a bit put off as I went out and got a nice mid level Thrustmaster Wheel setup. Which sits and collects dust when I don't have time and when I do have time thr game let's me down.

[@TheThumbsUpChannel]

I just got the game off a sale. I've always held off on the f1 games because I run vr primarily but even all these months after release I still have the shaky jittery vr bug and from what I've seen online, there is no solution that fixed the issue.

[@jirisuster6165]

I'd like to provide some thoughts about why it takes so long them to fix minor or even major issues. I'm a corporate integration developer, what it actually means isn't all that important, however what's important is that our release calendar is being planned YEARS in advance. So for me it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that when EA releases a game, they are already aware of the major issues which will be fixed in the first or second patch. So when you play the game day one and see some weird color on redbull, the developers surely get at least some feedback about it, but they're too busy solving something more important. Maybe somebody has already fixed the bug day one, but it will still take some time before it can make it to the patch release, because developers have next to zero authority to plan this stuff. Ofc it's easy to say that's EA is a multibillion company but honestly the bigger the company the harder this gets.

[@x1_n_only_jtm_]

Yeah but there's no excuse with something as easy as color. It makes sense what you're saying but these companies have all the power and we're just at their mercy

Two days ago I was playing F1 but I couldn't start a race because the car was impossible to start (was still wheel spinning even in 4th gear) and the AI was trying to take me out every time, after 45 restart I decided to not play that waste of time of a game, and I'm now playing only MotoGP 22 and GT

[@mick19977]

I’ve streamed league races for about three years now since F1 2019. Those games where so much fun and it was actually a beautiful time for Codemasters. We where planning to do a new season of league racing in our league and the first event we did on F1 22 was awful. The game kept crashing and glitching in every single try to stream. We waited to start a new season until late November/December. We all thought the game had improved with updates Codemasters brought. The first race of our new season was actually good, no glitches, no game crashing or things like that. From the second race onwards the game started crashing again and it was very disappointing. I cleaned my PlayStation4 to try and improve the running of the game on this console. Our season of league racing is underway but we had to stream with a PC instead of a PlayStation 4, only because the PS4 doesn’t handle this game anymore. Codemasters/EA need to realise that this game is not a game which will be played fully on Next-Gen consoles like PS5. It’s not a game to enjoy anymore and for F1 23 i have big doubts it will be good. I have absolutely no pleasure in this game anymore and i hope Codemasters change this for the rest which want to enjoy this game. Work to do for EA/Codemasters.

[@PhilipValdesMusic]

I play on PC and I’d be happy if basic functionality was there like being able to connect to servers to see leaderboards and connect to online lobbies. Also having physics work the same at 120 fps as it does at 60 fps would be nice too.

[@levy_martins]

Things that i would like to see on the next game: A TRULLY revised online experience: Work on making the online experience more stable. If you reduce (number of servers issue, sudden disconnection during race) specially online, it will be a huge improvement. An improved cross play experience: This is the feature I liked the most on the game. The fact that we are able to play against players from different platforms is pretty nice, however they need to play on getting this feature more stable. Remove super cars. Again, this is F1 not GT. If we want to play GT we will play dedicated games such as forza, ACC and others. Engine overheat: I would like to see more engine overheat online. Codemaster (E&A) make some tweaks during the game, but we need to see more overheat when we are following other cars too closely. More circuits: Add more circuits to the game. Even the reverse tracks such as bahrein, suzuka, Silverstone .

[@Beatztronics]

Game has been so inconsistent and buggy. Thanks EA.

[@Judysmokeypuma]

Games which are developed in 1 year (F1) are not very good games and will never be as good as games which take 3 or 4 years to develop (gran turismo). EA is known for milking out franchises instead of improved them.

[@superjarri]

Since 2010, I didn't try another F1 series game because I thought that the physics were not great. After trying this F1 22, I have to say they are fairly decent. The thing I hate the most for now is that the car doesn't transmit well enough oversteering forces to the steering wheel and I feel very disconnected to the rear car's reactions. Understeer is very well transmited, though. The grip over grass is ridiculous and needs to be fixed too. Then, there are another things that I don't care too much but they are broken too, like AI or the menus (the person who designed them should be in jail). The F1 live thing is cringe, to say the least. Apart from that, I'm having good fun with the game so far.

[@luke-johnbuckle7939]

F1 Life and the supercars is a complete joke and it looks like thy are staying for F1 23. They should've kept classic cars, the drop off in the series since F1 2020 is crazy. Plus myTeam is identical to F1 2020.
