Following the reveal of F1® 25, EA SPORTS™ is excited to present the first of its Deep Dive Series, offering an in-depth look at My Team 2.0.

Today’s video explores the exciting new direction My Team takes, allowing players to step into the shoes of a team owner. With its biggest overhaul since F1® 2020, My Team 2.0 focuses on overall team management, strategic decision-making, and the delicate balancing act of overseeing two drivers, before getting behind the wheel as either driver.

A Redefined Team Owner Role

Unlike previous iterations where players juggled the roles of driver and owner, My Team 2.0 sees players take on a more authentic, management-focused role. In addition to handling the day-to-day running of the critical facilities that make an F1® team tick, team owners will be responsible for recruiting and managing a pair of drivers to represent their team. Then, during race weekends, they will be given the choice as to which driver they would like to race as.

Facility Management 

Three key Facilities have been introduced, each with a unique responsibility:

• Engineering: Research and Development are now separated for the first time, allowing for more flexibility when manufacturing new parts and choosing how to apply them. Now, players will have to balance cost, development timings, and sometimes one driver over another, which can impact the driver’s perception of your team in future contract negotiations.
• Personnel: F1® 25 introduces a dynamic driver contract system. To shape the team’s future lineup, owners can meet multiple drivers face-to-face to discuss terms, though leaked conversations can sabotage deals. Beyond drivers, owners must manage their Workforce. Its size will impact both costs and efficiency: more hires accelerate R&D and facility upgrades, but overexpansion risks breaching the Cost Cap.
• Corporate: The Corporate facility centralices financial strategy, requiring players to manage seasonal spending to avoid deficits. A new Decal Editor allows for greater customization options for livery designs and defining a team’s visual identity (more of this on Deep Dive 2), while an updated sponsor system helps players build relationships with title sponsors over time.

Enhanced Team HQ environment

My Team 2.0 introduces an all-new Team HQ, an evolving space that will grow in scale, population, activity, as the owner builds their team’s staff and reputation. Players must strategically decide how to expand their facilities and grow their team, completing upgrades and training courses that allow them to specialise their owner’s skills.

Revised Progression System

Accolades, first introduced in Driver Career, also return and are now integrated into My Team. Earning Accolades and outperforming rival teams boosts a team’s Fan Rating, unlocking valuable perks, new sponsorship opportunities, and the chance to sign more prestigious drivers.

New Possibilities for Driver Career and My Team 

F1® 25 also brings significant updates to the Driver Icons system, allowing AI teams to recruit iconic drivers for the first time in both My Team and Driver Career modes. Additionally, players can now add an 11th team to the grid – either Braking Point’s Konnersport or, for those who get the Iconic Edition before July 11, the APXGP team from the new Apple Original Films’ F1 – with its respective Driver Icons, in both game modes.

My Team 2.0 will let players call the shots in an environment where every decision can impact their future and legacy in the sport.
