I tend to believe that was not intended..

I mean.. any player can count and it's not hard to notice when the numbers don't add up, so I don't think they did it that way on purpose.

Still it's just super annoying (and wrong/unfair, etc) that you don't get the RP you were supposed to and was counting on - the AIs keep developing their cars just fine, meaning they are getting their RPs, but the player sometimes isn't.. I mean.. come on, game!!..

I love playing against the AIs, but it's amazing how the game 'cheats' to give them advantages in lots of different ways..

There's this RP issue and the fact that it seems the AIs ALWAYS have more RPs than the player and every time we develop our car, they develop theirs too (so it's pretty hard to 'out-develop' them, maybe except when the Regulations change in some seasons and you're able to save some RPs and car parts, so you don't lose them, while the AIs do and then you finally out-develop them)..

But there's also all of that 'adaptive driving' BS, where the game gives the AIs the ability to 'break the laws of physics' whenever is convenient to them and so they magically get super acceleration, super top speed, super breaking, super grip, super laps, etc and they do things that are literally impossible for the human driver to do (without going off the track or crashing) - I mean.. I don't mind the challenge and I like to race against AIs that are just as quick as I am, but it sucks when you put a LOT of efforts (and skill) do try a hard move to pass them and they simply cheat to stay ahead of you, no matter what you do, or how well or fast you can drive.. - if I feel the AIs are too easy to beat, I can simply increase their level, but I don't like them 'adapting' on demand, literally ignoring the game's laws of physics and doing things that are impossible for the player to do just to stay ahead of us..

Anyway, sorry for kinda going off topic here, but once again it just sucks to feel you get 'cheated' all of the time by the game..

They steal XPs from you.. RPs.. the AI 'bend' the laws of physics.. - the game is great, but so is the amount of BS in it..

@SexyBrigadeiro I’ve just started yet another My team career. Did 50% Jeddah. The front runners were Max, Lewis, Sainz and Lando. After pit stops they are pretty well spread out with clear track and air to the end of the race.

So at end of race I looked at race director. Their laps times were as you would expect super consistent. No more than 3 tenths difference over ten laps. Max did ten laps all within 2 tenths. Then last 2 laps they all went about half second faster than previous 10 laps. And last lap were all over a second faster than those 10 laps. Max, Lewis and Lando were 1.4-1.5 seconds faster. Using the same worn tyres as me and I was having to tip toe through the last lap. Got done by 3 cars on back straight off last lap😔.

    This is another unrealistic example of the BS the AIs can do - and it's been like that in these game for ages..

    And the devs never bothered to fix it somehow and make it more realistic, either by increasing the AIs tyre wear and making their lap times SLOWER as their tyres wear out (and NOT allowing them to magically get half or either a full sec faster in their final laps of each stint), or by allowing the players to also get 'super laps' at the end of our stints (although this would be unrealistic too - it's actually just natural and obvious that the lap times get slower as the tyres get worn)..

    But anyway.. some things just never change - sadly..

      @SexyBrigadeiro From what I can tell if I do a race in F1 world with tech difficulty at max. Then go back to My team career. I get the extra tech bonus xp at the end of each session. But it I start up the game and go straight to myteam. Even though it shows the tech xp it doesn’t give it to me😔

        I noticed that too, mate.
        So the Tech Level XP in the career modes is a 'visual glitch' and it shouldn't be there, as it seems.

        Still there are a few mathematical errors here and there about the XPs in the Podium Pass progression, or about the Resource Points in the career mode and I hope they can get them all fixed.

        Not to mention the fuel load calculations also being wrong 'randomly', both in the career modes and in F1 World events and the worst of all: the Goals being locked to a lot of people (me included) for whatever crazy reason..

        These are all 'small things' that really hurt the player if they're not working properly - so, they're actually pretty important and hope EA give them some kind of priority and fix them all ASAP.

        Cheers, my friend!
