The Codemasters update regarding the AI issue

It's the problem with yearly releases.  Not given the time and  resources to get it right.   

Just a example GTSophy started development in 2020.   Sony has given  the Dev team huge resources and support including use of their super computers.   Only   this year GTSophy has been made available to all single custom races.   As it still has it's limitations.  It's still a work in progress.

Sony have most likely spent more on Sophy than what EA give codies to develop a years entire game.  Wouldn't surprise me if it's multiple years games 

AI changes are required as soon as possible, especially in the wet. The game is unplayable for some in the wet. 

For example if using the automatic gearbox in the wet, peak power is never reached due to the gearbox short shifting even down the straights. The AI just fly past you.

Things like this should have been picked up on prior to release. Literally unplayable like this.

They will be very limited in what they can do to change update/improve Ai in this years game.   Making changes to Ai in racing games is extremely complex and time extensive.   Any meaningful changes require retraining certain aspects of the Ai on every track and then extensive testing on how they react in every given situation they will face.  Especially when it comes to player interactions.     By the time they get done F1 26 will be upon us.
