AI is a multiprong issue.
1. Consistent race to race and session to session ( plus or minus the usual human variation) weather to weather.
Maybe a preseason test to suggest an AI and then FP1 requires you to do a race sim and FP2 a qualy sim in the right weather conditions to help hone the AI for when it counts.
2. AI strategy- this can be some percent chance a driver starting in a particular spot chooses a different tyre and things like over or under cut stops.
3. Good racing- this is the tough one, fair blocking, ERS deployment, knowing where to try a pass and where to hold off. I have no suggestions here on how to train the AI other than watch some real racing.
@TomasSlb24 Im a fan of the FIFA franchise it has been the same copy and paste for a few years now I still buy it for updated kits and that type of stuff.
On the F1 game, I understand it will never be a pure sim game. The whole ask is to get rid of the gimmicks and get back to the basics. Why is time being wasted on those things when there is alot more core gameplay elements that need work. Effectively we are all buying a beta game with the hopes it gets better but usually just gets worse over time.
To his point how did we go from a huge upward trend of classic cars, short tracks, classic tracks, etc. to what we have now and it all seems to line up with EA buying codies.
EA has crushed franchise after franchise, FIFA, F1, NASCAR (back in the day), Madden, even the new CFB a game that's been in development for years is underwhelming with the issues it was having with core player movements. Its just copy & paste revenue chasing with little to no innovation.
Iracing made a console sprint car game which was awesome the physics were legit the AI racing was solid, the customization was really good. For the non Sprint car fans give it a go dirt track racing is really fun. Iracing also got the rights to the NASCAR franchise which will be really telling how far we can push Arcade sims to keep it fun for controller players and wheel players.
I do play console and pc, Im gonna give the AMS2 a go as I have been hearing good things
Ive pre ordered for many years for F1 this year I was not planning on pre ordering but they had me with the new physics (which Im one of the seemly few who did enjoy it). Next year IDC what the new thing is they wont be getting my money unless I read or see good things after the 1st patch seeing as that's always were it starts going south
@BbtrushSo like me, you understand that EA getting this game was gonna have the same path FIFA games have now. How many years has the community asked for countless things, either for career mode or UT and they barely listen to it?
It's exactly how you say it, we had so many good things in F1 19 and F1 20, the game was looking to have a bright future, and out of nowhere, every good thing this game had, just seems to be vanishing.
AMS2 is not the best sim racing game at the moment, I would say IRacing is the best for online and AC is the best to put some mods and play different tracks and cars. But AMS2 devs put work and time in the game, they listen to the community and improve what can be improved, without removing things that are needed into what's important, and that's racing.
And now a big update seems to be coming that will put that game in probably the same level as IRacing (I hope).
Quick edit: They should have a serious debate about working with modders, the fact games like AC, AMS2 and others have the game moddable so new tracks can be added, new cars can be added helps the game to be better. I know licensing probably does not allow that, but for this games, that are a lot of mods that help this game keep some part of the community active.
