AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

It’s like they have DRS the whole race

Hello everyone,

I moved some posts in here since you all are providing feedback regarding the AI being too fast on the straights.

We are currently looking for exemples where it is obvious the AI is too fast so if you could share a video showing that, I would pass it on to the team.

Thank you in advance.

Look, I know training AI around 22 circuits was/is a task and a half especially when new ways of downforce generation was brought in for this year and future seasons, but we should at least be able to compete with the AI, Limitless (Content Creator) made a video about 0 AI on Grand Prix mode, last year he could catch them and pass them for position despite being a lap down and still do decently in a 5 lap race. This year did the same thing, put himself a lap down on the entire field and he could only unlap himself, he couldn't catch back up to the back of the pack like he could last year much less pass them.

Product: F1 22

Platform: PS5

Summarize your bug: The AI is way, way too OP on the straights out of corners

Which area is the bug/glitch in? All modes, mostly MyTeam for me though

How often does the bug occur? 100%

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just go in a random race and race against the AI

What happens when the bug occurs?Tthe AI gain massive speeds out of corners and passing you in dangerous situations (high speed corners)

What do you expect to see? The AI not gaining speed advantages over the player and should not dive bomb you into high speed sections like in Jeddah

It's honestly just impossible in it's current state to compete right now for me, I'm not saying make the AI dumber, just reel them back on corner exit and straight line speed a bit, AI shouldn't gain half a second or you having DRS and they're pulling away, it's like they have DRS all the time and opening DRS makes it super DRS. I think I'm actually going to restart my MyTeam mode due to Bahrain race being bugged for me on another issue that I won't mention in this post.

Like I said on another post, I think with my discord group we can safely say that the issue is on at least engine upgrades, maybe more not applying to our car.

We did a test, where we made a myteam with a renault engine and one with a ferrari engine, other than that, same setup, same car upgrades, same teammate, 100Ai, no assist, short qualy
In qualy session:

With renault I did a 1:29:75 in barhain, 330 kph in speed trap
With Ferrari i did a 1:29:65 in Barhain, with 333kph in speed trap

I think the difference can be explained with me getting a better lap since I did ferrari after, and also engine caracteristic

Now for the real deal

Huklenberg did a 1:29:35 with renault
And a 1:28:4 with ferrari
Nearly one second faster, and this supposed performance increased is not present for the player
Something is definitely up with engine upgrades and maybe also other upgrades, they do not apply to the player car. And while our testing focused on myteam where the problem is the most obvious, it is possible that this issue in present in some way in other game modes.

  @EA_Hux I have the same problem, I play PC career mode with Alfa Romeo team, without assists and level 90, the problem happens in all tracks, and it's not just in My Team, career mode happens too, it's clear to me that the problem is at the exits of the curves, the AI seems to have incredible traction and gains great distances of advantage right at the exit of the curve, they have an incredible speed recovery, and at the end of the straights it reaches a higher speed, even using DRS and overtaking mode is the AI without DRS I can't overtake, The problem is clearer when I come out of a low turn and soon after there's a big straight, like the exit of turn 16 with the Miami circuit for example, it's frustrating to play F1 2022, lots of bugs.
  Please identify this problem and fix it.

  @nkzsry9q2v3n This bug has been happening way before the engine update even got pushed, it was happening in the beta and is still a thing now.

    @kevohx Yeah I know, I think you misunderstood when I said engine upgrades, I meant the factory upgrades already there at the start of my team mode.
