My Team is lacking lapping… and more.

Since 2020 I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of hours playing My team.  Like thousands.  Played it Every which way.   Hundreds off careers and thousands upon thousands off laps.

So I’m now halfway through my first my team season and this is by far the most boring dull flat season I can remember.    

So damage is all set to simulation and higher chance of safety car etc etc Ai 92…  But need to increase that as my mid team is already top team. Only thing i turned off was red flags due to it being broken.

Biggest thing I noticed.   As I hate Monaco i take all new parts and start last on the grid.  Like every time before when I  race at Monaco.    Start off race I accelerate and don’t  brake for first corner and see how many Ai I can take with me.   However took me 3 attempts just to total my own car.   🤷🏻‍♂️. And didn’t manage to take anyone else out. 😤

other than Monaco I’ve raced every track at 50% distance.  And apart from Imola when Max and Lewis spent the entire race going at it with me  stuck behind watching and noting they must have hit eachother a dozen times.    But not enough damage to slow either off them down.   I can’t recall much else happening in 10 races.  Other than my own overtaking. Had 2 safety cars. One for a Ai spinning off and I have not a clue what the other was for.   

So as always I check race director and pit stops at end of every race.   Not a single pit stop has been long than 4 seconds.  10 x 50% races plus 2 sprints and.nott a single Ai car has had a front wing replaced.  

Anyhow just won Austria.  By 20 seconds over 2nd place Max.   On a track where lap times are around 1.06ish give or take. And I still only lapped 3 cars. Which was the first time any cars had been lapped so far this season.  

So completely uneventful so far. Wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. Or have  I just fell into one of those bizarre seasons.🤷🏻‍♂️

    @ScarDuck14 Hard for me to comment on your post, as I have only completed one race in MyTeam so far. 

    That one race was pretty OK; two DNF’s (LEC and ZHO), Albon spun right in front of me (unforced error). Some AI bogged down on the race start. On balance, AI was pretty good. 

    Will report back if anything of note comes up (or not) 👍🏽

    @ScarDuck14 it probably is tbf, the content creators have have had eventful seasons. Though it is odd, as you’re a fair way into the season. No SC’s either?

    @Monzstar83 Had 2. In previous years i noticed if I started a career with everything set to standard etc. nothing much happened even if i changed damage to simulation and increased safety car during a career it didn’t have any noticeable effect. But if I started a career with everything increased. There was a clear difference. So wondering as I turned red flags off before I started if that’s had a effect

    May be cold solace if you're not on pc, but the modders over on Racedepartment got cracking on the AI mods early this year. Improved AI and More AI Crashes are already available. The two of them together have singlehandedly saved this game in ways CM could never and EA don't care to. Thank goodness for modability; I wouldn't dump a console copy of the F1 game on my worst enemy.

    @ScarDuck14 What level did you start on?
    Myself in the middle and also was top team but as I started saving resource points for regulations they caught up and I was among the bottom 3.

    As a side note this is the 1st time I remember you posting AI numbers or times in the almost 3 years I've known you🤔

    @ScarDuck14One thing i noticed my self too in My team and Career, despite the fact i use simulation damage sometimes i touch the car in front of me when braking and i don't have any kind of damage. Once i spun in the middle of the track, AI came and hit me with his front wing in my front wing and none of us had damage to the front wing. But it is in someway awkward, don't know if it's intended or not. Sometimes the damage seems to occur easier.

    @BadMayh3m I don’t generally like posting what difficulty I race the Ai on. I have mentioned it when it’s been relevant from time to time. But as I like helping others especially the noobs and casuals they don’t need to know anything other than the only difficulty that matters is the one they get the most out off. I hate seeing people who before asking for help. Feel they have to apologise for not being an Elitist git Guder.

    Every year for first few months off the game being released I generally just play around with My team. Start with Ai low whilst I’m playing around in controller and camera settings. Plus Quality or performance modes etc. then as I get my game settings dialed in I increase difficulty. I’m half way through season I’ll probably continue until I’ve raced Qater and Vegas. Then delete game and restart with a different engine. I don’t start playing seriously for 2-3 months. Once most bugs are fixed then I play proper 👍
