The launch of F1 24 was met with criticism, largely due to the handling model. The community raised the issue immediately after the preview version - now, EA Sports and Codemasters respond by acknowledging the feedback.
Many F1 fans were disappointed with F1 24 from the moment the first hands-on previews were published, particularly those who had hoped for a more sim-like approach in this year's Formula One game. Instead, it was quickly shown that exploiting the handling model, especially via excessive turn-in in fast corners, would lead to better lap times.
As a result, criticism began to show on various platforms ahead of F1 24's May 28 (May 31 for those who had not preordered the Champions Edition) launch. There are other issues, however, which the community has also raised - EA Sports and Codemasters acknowledged them and promised improvements with the next patch.
The statement mostly concerns the F1 24 handling model. You can find the full release below.
What probably does not help the discussion is a recent article on the official F1 website promoting a podcast episode of F1 EXPLAINED. Its title: "How F1 video games are so realistic - with F1 24".
Meanwhile, players can raise issues in the EA forums, and like in last year's instalment, they can keep track of community-raised issues and their status in a dedicated thread. Usually, an estimate for the next update's release is also given there once it is known.
