F1 2017 IDEAS

Recommended Posts

This years F1 2016 has no doubt been a phenomenal game, i am still playing F1 2016 and I am really excited for the next instalment of F1 2017 and so here are some of my ideas of improving the next years game:



RED FLAG
When you are in Career mode you get the weather dynamic, which means only 1 thing, it is unpredictable and that mean on certain tracks rainfall is common such as Malaysia, Brazil and maybe even Canada, and so I would love it, if they had at certain tracks there would be really torrential wet weather and so when this scenario happens there would be cars drifting to the side of the track and/or have the 1 off spin out of nowhere because of a lot of standing water on the track which could cause a huge crash, and so there will be a red flag and you have to drive into the pits behind the car your in the race with and line up at the pits with all the team pit crews surrounding there teams cars, with the safety car doing a few laps around the track, leaving to geff your engineer o the side of your car under a cosebo and then you can discuss strategy and/or check what the situation is with the safety car and the weather, then if anything don't materialise then they would simply end the race on half points, whilst your in the pits you get interviewed.

GAME TO CONTROLLER/MICROPHONE - INTERVIEWS 
Whenever you get interviewed even on the podium, press or on the grid you get to use your own controller or using a microphone even, you get to interact with the interviewer and say what you think on the race ahead and your very own reaction to the race afterwards too. I think this will be making the game even better with more interaction than ever before.

SPECIAL GUESTS ONTO THE PODIUMS - FULL ANTHEMS 
I personally think that the podium should be an extra special thing on next years game of F1 2017 and that means bringing in special celebrities or even old f1 drivers like mark webber or eddie jordan or martin Brundle, i think this would be incredible plus I think you should have an option to go either to the TV screens for 3rd person or as a proper experience you can go 1st person stepping onto the podium with fans opposite you on the main straight with flags, and that could mean you interact with your controller as you are interviewed on the podium. 

SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE LAPTOP - FAN POPULARITY 
On your Career Mode you get a popularity rating system and that can be what fans of yours are thinking of you and your actions during your career, so say like one headline is that you are rumoured to go to Red Bull from McLaren, and the fans react on that rumour and so it eventually become official at the end of the season where every driver is including your driver, and then fans could get excited about you every time before and after your races, and the popularity rating increases due to either what you say in interviews or with your team mate, or even your track performances including amazing overtaking moves.

CUSTOMIZATION 
I think customizations has took a huge leap into F1 2016 this year, but of course there will always be room for improvements including maybe letting fans design there helmet all together ok you can have the default designs there, but you could have an option to put in your own designs on your helmet which includes your name and number on it with different shapes, this would be incredible to take customisations to the next level. Other customisation stuff could be introduced in the main menu where you get an option that you go into and in that you get to design your own car, and livery all the way to creating your own tracks, this would be title in the main menu as Community Creations, I think adding this would be huge.

DAMAGE
Although there are all sorts of issues with marketing on different teams sponsors not like there sponsor to get torn apart as damage to the cars but it would be amazing if there could be little bits added to the current damage like flames from the back of the car as a engine blowout (I know it is already there) but something like in real life. 

PICTURE MODE
This would be epic to any F1 fan as you know there are various of other motorsport games which has the feature to take a screenshot and edit with the photo creating the most perfect picture for them to upload to social media and this would be even more amazing to add in with F1 2017

PRE-SEASON AND CAR LAUNCHES 
So as it says on the tin the pre season is a chance for you to get to grips with your new car with the upgrading points and with pre season you get given different challenges throughout the pre season at Barcelona, and then when you are all set for the day of the launch, with fans on social media on the laptop talking about every teams launch of 2017, you get to go 1st person at the launch event and unravel the new 2017 car in front of the press and then either by microphone or by your own controller you get given a load of questions ahead of the 2017 season and you get to interact with the press, this would help gain team popularity also your driver popularity which would bring the whole new 2017 season even more exciting with the whole build up to the new season starting of course at Australia 


Any opinions on these new ideas for F1 2017 are more than welcome and I hope at least 1 of these are implemented into the new F1 2017 game
Many Thanks

Why do a ton of people start making their own F1 2017 idea threads? Check if someone else has already made one, then comment on that.

Anyway... here is a list that I made on my thread like this:
Fix screen tearing and FPS (Framerate)
Add red flags back into the game for big crashes.
Also, in earlier games the red flag only came out if there was a crash involving 4 or 5 people at least. I think that the red flag should come out (if it will be in F1 2017) if one car crashes but only if the accident is big. (Like Kevin Magnussen in Spa 2016)
Re-do R&D. It is a good concept, but I think that the R&D resets every year without affecting your cars performance. The AI should also upgrade more, or Codies should make the R&D upgrades cost WAY more Resource Points.
Simulation Damage. It works well, but it isn't always that consistent. It needs to be a little easier (at least) to loose parts. Also, I think that you should be able to loose a mirror and rear wing & stuff just like back in F1 2010-2013.
The AI's cars are way more stronger that yours. (Damage wise) They can get no damage from hitting the wall at 100 mph (160.934 km/h) while you can loose a wheel for hitting the wall at 50 mph (80.4672 km/h). This needs to be fixed. (The 100 mph (160.934 km/h) and 50 mph (80.4672 km/h) was just an example. I did not test this in any way).
There needs to be different R&D tests at different circuits.
Better sponsorship banners at tracks. (like TagHeuer at Monaco.) But Of course not the sponsors like Johnnie Walker, Heineken, Martini, Smirnoff, KingFisher, and Chandon because Pegi 3 does not allow them. (I wish they did)!
Better Face for drivers.
More Interaction with Chris (R&D guy) and Emma (Your agent)
More celebrations for winning races or being on the podium.
Making it so you can get Mechanical failures. (Engine Failure, Suspension breaking like at Austria this year, things like that.) Also, if you can get Mechanical Failures, (I know that the AI will) the lower teams have more failures.
Real hats for the drivers to wear.
Podium cut scenes in multiplayer.
More helmet customization. (Making your own helmet from scratch, able to put your number on it, choose the shapes for the helmet.)
Full crash replays.
More avatars to pick from the start of your career mode.
Being able to make your own face.
Better car updates. The game should be more up-to-date with the real life cars
Cranes that remove the cars from the track instead of the cars just disappearing.
Marshals cleaning up the track instead of the debris just disappearing.
Make the AI way more aggressive on each other, on you, and for defending.
Real life cut-scenes when the game is loading.
You get a puncture or damage to your car when you run over debris.
Being able to start from GP3 or GP2.
Being able to make your own team from GP3, GP2, or F1. (You will be able to design your cars, get sponsors for doing well, sign drivers, design your garage, things like that.
The final thing that I want is to make it so Jeff tells you that the SC is out do to rain, and if red flags are added, having the race possibly being red flagged due to rain.

Yeah, I know that the FOM might not allow all of this, but they are just some ideas for the future.

- Me gustaria que mejoraran los pianos del circuito.
- Que sea visible el cambio de clima.
- Con tiempos de vuelta del juego mas realistas.

Gracias.

Hi, I'm Jonathan and I'm from Venezuela. I am a fan of Formula 1 games and play F1 2016 and according to my opinion I would like for F1 2017 to be present these improvements: - I would like to place avatars of women since where I live there are women who play Formula 1. - I would also like to place more interaction between player and game. - I would like to improve the pianos of the circuit. - Make the climate change visible. - With more realistic game turn times. - As the graphics I love and if they can improve. - A and that along the path can be unlocked a circuit for the counter, old cars for the counter. - That is to edit the avatar to use. I hope that my opinion will serve as something I hope to get the F1 2017 to play. Greasiness. 

And sorry that I wrote them in Spanish English is that I did not know if they spoke Spanish or only English.

For years i have waited for a good formula 1 game that i can enjoy for many months without something getting a bit old. F1 2016 helped in a sense of upgrades to the car, so i can start in a Toro Rosso and bring the team from where they are to as dominant as Mercedes. but some things i found boring and repetitive about the game. so i have made a list of 10 things that i think would make F1 2017 better for people and have a bit more enjoyment. (Note: some people may have said some things on this list, it just shows that many people want this feature to be implimented)

1: More Avatars. F1 2016 allowed the player to select a personal avatar to play as, so 2017 should include more, mabye use a webcam to get your own face. also my GF is an F1 fan so i think codies should start to impliment Female Drivers.
2: The Number 1. i've seen some people say this already. When you win the World Championship, you would be given an option, continue with your current number or use 1.
3: Better helmet customisation. what i would like to see would be for when you select your helmet, for your number to be put somewhere of your choice and team sponcers to be laid out, so your helmet doesnt look blank compared to your teammate with full sponcership.
4: This mabye personal to me, but the game seriously needs new Commentators. David Croft and Anthony Davidson get repetative and have said the same thing about 6 times by the time Monaco comes around, so Codies need to invest in getting some new Commentators for the Game. suggestions for them would be Ben Edwards and David Coulthard from Channel 4's coverage, or potentally James Allen or even XMattyG.
5: Bring back Interviews. F1 2010 had interactive interviews which were enjoyable, so i think F1 2017 should bring them back, but allow the user's Microphone to be used to answer the question. similer to the engineer.
6: A better damage model. It is easy to see that the Damage model in F1 2016 is very inconsistent. even on Simulation. sometimes you can smack a wall and not loose anything, and sometimes you can just tap it and loose the front of your car. Codies need to do some work on this, but also allow much more to fall off.
7: Driving to Retire. basiclly if your car has a problem, you can drive to the pitlane and retire the car. just for a bit of realism, mabye then skip or continue to watch the race from then till completion.
7.5: little side on from 7. when you finish the race. i would be interesting to continue to drive and park your car yourself. put in a few donuts to show off a win mabye.
8: Commentary during the Race. a simple throwback to F1 Championship Edition when James Allen and Martin Brundle would commentate on parts of the race. such if a driver has crashed with anouther or any dramatic event has gone on, even if on the complete other side of the circuit than you. with an option to turn off if all gets boring and distracting.
9: Improved AI. Many people would say this, but my main points are the Formation Lap, behind the Safety Car and the VSC. the AI are just morons at this part and randomly break for no good reason. causing you to hit them or take avoiding action off the circuit or into the marbles.
10: Beta Tester Easter Egg. just for a laugh potentally to include the people who went to the F1 2016 Beta Test to again test F1 2017 and to be inside the game as an easter egg. but not just as a spectator or car worker, mabye have a usfull role inside the game. mabye an interviewer or even the engineer. just as a small easter egg for the people who helped the game's production from alpha to full release.
Bonus 11: have the ability to select your engineer. be able to have a different engineer with different reations to events. like in F1 2010 where the engineer would go bonkers when you had a good result. need a break from Jeff's bland "Well done" message.

those are just a few of my suggestions for Codies to look at for F1 2017. Some things mabye blocked by FOM #FunPolice or not possible to put into the game. anyone can hope

All that's really needed for F1 2017 is better graphics, at least for Xbox One, improved handling physics to bring us ever so closer to the F1 track experience, improved track surfaces and improved sound....do that along with the new car regulations and maybe, just maybe, I'll buy F1 2017.

Given how 2016 progressed, I'm sure lots of people will buy 2017. The real deciding factor for most will be how much more will be added to the career mode, r and d and vehicle damage.

Don't think vehicle damage will change that much. Teams don't want to see there car desintegrate and FOM/FIA neither just to underline the safety of  F1 racing. R&D, perfect but I do hope they kill the 10 season career which is crap. If you implement a ten year career, go back ten years and work your way up from there given that you have all cars/drivers/teams from the last ten years.

By damage, I mean more failures like ERS, KERS, brakes, transmission, etc...Items that can be damaged due to the players bad habits. I actually like the career, but CM need to introduce driver transfers within the team so that the number 1 and number 2 drivers can switch places within the team depending on how they finish the season. I get that we will not see driver transfers from team to team but having the drivers shuffle between number 1 and 2 will be a great work around.

When you hit someone in the rear, I think its unrealistic that only the car behind spins.The car infront should spin because of a loss of a rear traction.

All I want is for the game to convey haptically more of what is happening with the car's chassis and tire -to-track-surface contact to include bumps.

please, please! include split screen multiplayer in f1 2017 ! I think it's very important in order to play with a friend offline, both multiplayer options (offline and online) are important.
