Career mode AI difficulty all over the place
I know it might have been mentioned before but I just wanted to highlight how much the AI difficulty in career mode is all over the shop. I normally use the AI calculator from F1 laps to calculate ...

This was an issue in F1 23 as well, but the inconsistency between tracks is worse in this one. I'm guessing it's because of all the ERS updates. But regardless, the fact that Grand Prix mode has more consistent AI than the Career mode (which was the highlight of the updates to F1 24) several months after launch is just sad.
@GrumpsMcDumps I guess that the AI difficulty being more consistent in Grand Prix is due to the fact of the non existence of developing of both the cars in performance and the drivers in statistics. With everything staying the same from race one to the last, the difficulty does not seems to bloat all around.
@TomasSlb24 True, that's a valid point.
Dont forget though that in real f1 there is a wide range of performance for drivers. At random, for example Gasly has qualified as high as 7 and as low as 20th on pace. Checo has won and now struggles to be in the top 10. Given the tight field, how well you nail a set up for a track, your natural ability differences between tracks, how good you are in dry/damp/wet conditions and variable car levels with upgrades, you should expect a fair amount of variability naturally. For me Ive founfd 90 seems to be a good level and my pace shifts between bottom end of top ten to last row but usually around 12th-13th and close to my team mate. I lnow where your coming from - chasing ai level is frustrating and breaks the immersion. All im saying is try and keep it stable and accept varience. It makes the came more enjoyable and its not unrealistic.
- Another stat is Tsunoda has been as high as 7 and as low as 18 for both race and qualy, Albon was 18th in miami race then 9th in Monaco the following race.
- @Darthsausage44 All true indeed. But one is the difference between different weekends. Other is a big difference between races and quali at the same track.
Since the start of the game, I've tried playing everything in 110, since in the last two games I've always done it, expecting to have ups and downs throughout the season. But could not do it. After getting to 107 and felt like everything was good, I just got second in a sauber at baku. After getting P8 in quali. That's a huge difference from other races, where since I got to 107, was always close to the top 10. And out of nowhere I was competing with Ferraris and Mercedes.
Other thing you mentioned, I doubt most of the people are better than the AI at interchangeable conditions. If playing with the carcass temperature, the tires will never have the right temps, and the AI will not get affected, so they will always have an advantage.
