    Better stick with F1 21. The 'new' version is a major bummer. Who cares about collectable supercar and a customizable home area?
    Lots of long known bugs are still not fixed and constant connection issues with EA servers (even when playing single player) are prety annoying.
    Hands off!!!

    I preordered it and I feel it's a waste of money. I even had more fun with all f1 2017-f1 2021 on the end of their life cycle then I've ever had with F1 22.

    -Tracks like Spa and Monza are still not updated. It js very inaccurate. -There are not ground breaking bew things in the game. There are super cars what almost nobody wanted, there's F1 life what is some crap stuff that doesn't help    I preordered it and I feel it's a waste of money.

    -Tracks like Spa and Monza are still not updated. It js very inaccurate. -There are not ground breaking bew things in the game. There are super cars what almost nobody wanted, there's F1 life what is some crap stuff that doesn't help the game at all ans EA music what to my opinion is, to it politely, completely bad, I changed the music to theme. Just to name a few.
    -Pysics. The car is just unrealistic uncontrollable. You are able to do donuts out of stand still in 7th gear. In real life you aren't even able to drive away in 7th gear, let stand making that much revs to do donuts. Also the car is spinning every single time you hit the throttle or you should be in a ultra high unrealistic gear for the speed your going. The standing starts are impossible to do because the AI has an extraterrestrial amount of grip.
    -AI higher top speeds.
    -Codemasters/EA being late to fix things
    -A lot of people asking for classic cars but getting super cars
    -small to no changes to career mode.
    -Red Bull colour inaccurate and no mid season car updates.

    Sport cars are bad added feature; if we want to ride a super car, we rather buy other race games.
    Sims-like add on are so rubbish; why should you spend money and times to decorate your room in…. A race game??? EA, please don’t f*ck with the games please…

Clear strategy by devs to introduce pitcoin before the EA takeover so EA can turn round and say ‘we didn’t add it into the game as it was already there’. Basically EA doing what they do best by making what was an amazing game franchise into a rubbish one, totally gutted by how obvious the cash grab is. If you want my advice but GT7 and play that, 100% better in almost every way and they won’t rip you off as their updates are completely free… Expand

Driver grid lineup still the same with every driver making the same 3 poses, why not use the real driver pictures from f1 what f1 use in real grid lineup on tv, all other ea sports games use the real picture of players for example fifa, nhl, madden etc.. would add so much more immersion instead of looking at those badly rendered aliens. Can’t play more than one Grand Prix or championship mode, it overwrites everything how hard is it to add more save options. Awful menus it looks like a menu from 10 years ago. Why brag you got a new engineers voice that worked for f1 and new crofty voice overs and make them record the same lines that have been used for years now - “ are you ok? That was a big one.” So many tracks are still not updated. Unrealistic lack of safety cars, still no red flags, ai needs to make more mistakes by themselves and be smarter at overtaking, races are just boring nothing happens in an entire race no safety cars nothing. Still same cutscenes and podium celebrations. Lazy and broken game, who asked for f1 life who asked for supercars??? Should have spent more time on the other stuff that makes f1 great and not this crap no one wanted. Buying furniture and sunglasses, wtf? What has that to do with f1 game. All people want is play as their favorite driver in championship mode or career mode. And drive f1 cars not the supercar walmart edition of gran turismo 7.

No decent suit, helmet, sponsor or livery editors, no real options to edit your driver and a "new" feature that was always taken for granted in the (really old) games mentioned: now, FINALLY, when you use a color for a part of a livery, you can use it in a different part... because it gets saved... WOW!!!

    There are very few real reasons as to why this game is so behind in such an important aspect either incompetence (the developers can't get on pace with 15 year old games), indifference (they don't want to) or convenience. This one seems the most likely, since real customization options and a community where players can share their creations would render the stupid and useless Podium Pass... well, stupid and useless.

    Instead of getting the features players have asked for and deserve, what they get is F1 life... a money grabbing scam only idiots would fall for, filled with useless items that add NOTHING to the game... oh, and also bugs.

    If a 2022 game is destroyed in any aspect by games from 2007 said game can be considered nothing but a joke... now published by the greddiest most hated company in the industry. I'm glad I didn't buy this POS, and neither should you.    … Expand

New commentators bolster the already strong audio design. Track designs feel great and sprint races offer some variety. Adaptive AI feels good. Extensive accessibility options allow anyone to just jump in and play.

    Bad-
    Bugs and glitches happen a lot. F1 Life feels tacked on and meant only for microtransactions (think FUT and MUT). Limited livery and boring character customization. Only one new track was added to the game and that feels cheap. Supercars do not really expand or add upon the already established formula.

    Thoughts-
    F1 22 is a great entry point to the series for newcomers with lots of accessibility features and fun racing, albeit in a much more serious environment that demands precision and practice. For veterans, it comes down to whether you’ll enjoy the new handling and suspension, the redesigned cars, the new presentation features, and so on. F1 Life feels inconsequential as a whole, less like a central showcase of this year’s edition and more like a gimmick.

    Overall, this year’s edition feels like a pit stop rather than the next big step for Codemasters’ franchise (which could be next year, according to rumors). It’s another good Formula 1 racing title, one that will tide you over in many places and leave you wanting in others.    … Expand

AI seems to make some mistakes now. But further the AI seems a bit broken and it is tough to find the correct level of driving difficulty. Normally I checked in GP mode where I am and transferred this to my career, but this is not valid anymore. When I am close to my teammate in GP mode, he beats me by 0,500 + in career . So this is a bit annoying.

    Including a weekly reminder to visit the in-game store, so you can play dress up with your virtual driver, in your virtual house.. paid for with very real money.

    The super cars handle terrible and their modes are limited.

    Classics F1 cars are still absent for some reason. - No red flags.

    Sadly, Spa is not one of the updated tracks.

    The rest of the game is mostly a copy-paste job from F1 2021.

    And a lot of bugs on release! Conclusion:

    There is some solid racing with the AI, but EA is obviously targeting the Tiktok generation, instead of F1 fans with this iteration. I’m not against paid DLC, but as a F1 fan, I’d rather see some classic cars and tracks instead of shoes and rugs.

    Completely underwhelming with little that's new or innovative. Controls are twitchy even in casual mode, it's far too easy to get clipped by the AI drivers and end up in the wall. Acceleration/braking lacks subtlety, mostly you're full throttle or full brakes.

The F1 Life feature is horrible, a very cynical attempt to bolt on some revenue making nonsense that adds nothing at all to the game. Overall this is a poor game.… Expand

    Game is a buggy mess and the only new content they've added (10 supercars) is bare bones and poor. Series has well and truly been EA'd

    I personally really like this game, however I am a huge F1 fan so i am probably abit biased. I don't hate the new F1 Life section but I also don't love it, I haven't really touched it since launch so I am not going to complain about it.

    This game is pure rubbish.

    After patch 1.07, In my team mode, after 5 races, I have encountered ZERO Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car even there were incidents on the track (with settings of INCREASED safety car frequency). Also the AI have been much more overpowered in overall speed and seems like they did not suffer any pace loss from tire degradation at all. And sometimes in    This game is pure rubbish.

    And sometimes in the race, when I press the radio button, it didn't have any response and need to restart the game to resolve it.

    F1 22 is a piece of horrible and unbalanced junk, surely the worst game I have ever brought in my life.    … Expand

    I've put in over 200 hours and I still cand go over 3 laps without spinning with medium traction control. This game feels like it was made with a budget of 5 dollars and feels more like a mobile game rather than anything else.

I'm honestly surprised that you don't have to buy the tracks individually or have pay to unlock online races. The only reason this game has players is because it is the official f1 game not because it's good… Expand

Grundsätzlich weiß man was man bekommt. Jedoch frage ich mich Jahr für Jahr, wohin die Entwicklungszeit hinwandert. Die fahrphysik ist so dermaßen an der Realität vorbei, dass selten wirklich F1 feeling aufkommt. Die Autos mit der größten Downforce der Welt fliegen hier bei Höchstgeschwindigkeiten aus der Kurve, als wären es Autos auf einer Carrera-Bahn. Von der super aggressiven KI ganz zu schweigen. Rennen ohne Rückspülfunktion können dadurch schnell frustrierend werden.

    Die optischen Spielereien mit der Erstellung seines Charakters und Lifestyle-Artikeln hätte man sich in meinen Augen sparen können. Es handelt sich dabei wohl eh nur um einen Köder, um den Season-Pass zu kaufen und Ingame-Käufe anzukurbeln. Wären hier wenigstens wieder die Legends Cars fahrbar könnte ich darüber noch hinweg sehen.

    Ich weigere mich in Zukunft weiterhin diese Form der Spiele a la FIFA zu schlucken. Man muss sich immer wieder vor Augen führen, dass das Studio 12 Monate Zeit zur Entwicklung hat. Nach wie vor sind die Strecken nicht lasergemessen. Und die optischen Veränderungen der Autos würden auch eher einen Patch abdecken als jedes mal einen Vollpreis-Titel auf den Markt zu bringen.    … Expand

    Those who get their kicks not from the numbers and tables of a management game, but from phenomenal speeds on the track should choose ‘F1 22’. The annual release of this racing game consistently ranks among the top and has recently received an update that added even more content.

    Another year, another F1, this time with almost no major changes, microtransactions, dysfunctional VR support and ridiculously bad supercars modes and additions. Yeah, the first EA-published Codemasters game had some of their notoriously bad practices inside of it, and even though it is no surprise, it is a sad day, since last year's edition was one of the best F1 experiences ever made.

    Codemasters is taking something that was already great and trying to bring it into line with the modern reality of F1. Technically the title moves to incredible levels of quality, but unfortunately the impression is created that FIA's changes in the real life environment have not been translated so successfully to the corresponding digital one.
