AI Inhumanely Fast in Career

@ShardzWeaponYes cause Ai teams upgrade their cars and exceed the pace of real world cars. Not to mention Ai on a good lap brake and accelerate with near perfect timing.

They are not humans. The Ai can only follow their coding. Be aware there is no Ai on a racing game that comes close to this games AI. It’s a case of learning and understanding how they race and adapt to it.

It’s always been a thing come season 3 the Ai seem overpowered. But you also have to take into account they also upgrade their 2nd driver facilities which effect all Ai drivers Topping out at 100. So it’s possible most or all Ai drivers pace is 100. (This is something I and the rest off the community hate)

If you find them to fast reduce Ai difficulty. No shame in it

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’m only a casual player using a controller and I just felt they seemed insanely good. I don’t have time to spend perfecting every track to the millimetre but I do have a good grasp of the game so might turn the difficulty down to somewhere that more matches my level. 

just didn’t seem right as I was competing well on that difficulty since my first season. I figured the AI would get to max R&D and plateau there not continue onwards to godly levels haha

@ShardzWeaponYour welcome 93 is good for a casual player on pad. Anything above 80 means your pretty decent

@ShardzWeaponWith how the current system work, it's going to be very tricky for casual players to find the right difficulty setting after season 1 (because of how much the AI drivers improved from their hidden facility boosts).

From my personal experience of past games, I usually had to drop at least 5 points (from 100-110) on the difficulty setting for many tracks from season 2 onward. Also, unless your teammate is also hitting 100 ratings from the facility boosts, don't use him as your standard for setting difficulties, or else you're gonna struggle real bad against other teams since most of their drivers are near maxed out at that point.

Most important part of your reply, IMO.

Nobody knows what AI difficulty you play with, and nobody needs to know. Set them according to the challenge you want for yourself, and whatever that number is, you're correct.

I have reduced AI difficulty as it is not possible for me to compete even for points anymore even though I’m the best car on the grid.

this might be something codemasters need to address as players shouldn’t have to keep adjusting their difficulty. If anything you should be needing to put it higher as your car and r&d progress. Not reduce. 

@ShardzWeaponThe Ai team also increase R&D aswell as Ai drivers get better also.

It actually makes more sense for the game to get harder as we progress. Especially as there is a large chunk of players that already play the Ai on 110. Makes no sense for it to get easier as by season 3 it will be to easy for them.

It’s not perfect. Far from it but with the career lasting ten seasons it’s a way off keeping it interesting

This is most noticeable on high speed tracks like Jeddah, Monza and Vegas but if I run a setup that gives me a competitive lap time through a section that needs downforce, for example sector 1 at Jeddah, I can carry the same speed through there as the AI but then they still have considerably more straight line speed than me on the straights even when I have full Overtake on and DRS hasn’t been activated.

It seems like the AI can run a higher downforce setting without it impacting their straight line speed.

This issue gets even more exacerbated when I get to 25% tire wear as I lose all rear grip while the AI doesn’t seem to suffer from tire wear loses at all.
