EA Staff (Retired)End of the day these games are best on wheel, we all know that. I've done my time with pc sim racing and wheels so I'm just gonna have to put up with med=low trc.
Think gonna call it a day with pad and this topic lads, I'm not sure cm will tinker this much more for pad users at the detriment for the wheel users... And rightly so
May take a loss and trade it in before trade ins hit rock bottom with this title.
Games gone from fun to drive to completely undriveable for me. Same difficulty and setup as before but now about 2-3 seconds a lap slower than the AI (which was set so I match my teammate) and absolutely zero grip. Add on top the AI's completely overpowered traction (wet race starts are just completely impossible by the way, AI start like it's still dry).
I've had to stop playing because it's just utterly infuriating.
setups will change. pressures you need to run very low now otheriwse you wont have any grip

Didn't tested the new model yet but I can confirm AI laptimes are much better than before (I have simulated some quals), in some tracks 1 second.
If AI is simply "improved" is still ok, I just hope it hasn't "broken" traction in comparison with human player instead... 😕

Completely the same for me. Just tried a grand prix against the AI on Zandvoort and Jeddah and both were just impossible to drive against on my normal level. No grip, no traction and my front tires overheated within 2 or 3 laps... No fun at all. Guess I have to lower the tyre pressures significantly, especially on the front.
Please EA / Bugmaster, stop doing F1 games… You just don't have the competence to do, it's really embarrassing. Let another studio get de license, we fans of F1 are begging to you. You can't even make a proper car sound, model, and update the tracks, we have tracks that have been used for 10 years. Every year is the same bugs, and I don’t have words to describe what I think about you guys, probably I would be banned forever in this forum.
This game was bad but now they've made it a complete embarrassment.
@Liaveal
I'm having this exact same issue since the update. Before I was flying through the practice sessions and nailing the times, qualifying still poorly but then having good races (93 ai difficulty, no assists) since updated I've finished in the bottom 3 in the next two races and can't even match the target times in practice sessions. I was 4 seconds a lap slower in Japan than the team directly above me in performance and at least half a second of race strategy program at USA its become almost impossible to play and don't get me started on the OP starts by the AI they are now ridiculous. Don't know whether to lower the difficulty down or whether to use assists (I hate doing both but it's just not enjoyable right now)
