F1® 22 - Patch 1.07 Discussion Thread

Funny as multiplayer games are losing their appeal. People are sick off pay to win, life service games and want more single player experience.  Especially so they can get out before NFT virus starts getting traction.  Most popular AAA games are single player. 

hop lap pot luck. Multiplayer only play if your in a league with decent sim racers. Majority  Online racers make the current ai look good

Only reason everyone is made to think multiplayer is where everyone is playing.  I’d because for developers that’s where the money is.   Anyone with any sense. Knows developers are constantly pushing players towards online.   EA even have entire strategy based around ohow to get FIFA career mode player into FUT.  Multiplayer exists for developers to keep milking their player base

@DavidG53No, also in GP mode the AI is too fast (at least for difficulties lower than 100, above those it is perfectly fine to have AI behaving as it does now). Much less than in career, sure, especially with personnel upgrades etc. but there are still underlying issues present even in GP mode. You need to be very good at the game to keep straight line speed with AI using same setup, and people using below 100 difficulties will never be able to do so (they can by overall pace, but not in straight line speed).

Btw one of the most detrimental issues on this matter of AI is that decreasing difficulty alters AI acceleration speed out of corners much much less than it does for corner entry. If choice of difficulty actually altered the speed the AI has on corner exit and straight line speed in similar fashion as it does for corner entry then there would be no issues as you just had to lower AI skill till you find the perfect pace to suit yourself. But as it is now it's simply impossible to find a good compromise at lower difficulties because there's so much disparity between the two behaviors.

Oh I’m definitely a lot faster out off corners and rotating cars is massively easier with my team dog.  And My lap times as a result are better…. But the ai seem to be faster.  A lot faster. Oh the  shame I might have to play ai on lower difficulty

@DavidG53   I may be faster but slower but car feels better now. For me that’s Number 1 I have nothing to prove just  as longs if I have to lower the difficulty I will find a level where the ai can’t beat me😀

No, you don't have the increase difficulty (elsewhere you will not be able to keep up with the AI), it is just that decreasing difficulty doesn't change much for AI concerning corner exit and straight line speed, differently from corner entry. Hence the more you decrease AI skill and the more you experience a sort of rubber banding where AI is slow on corner entry but fast on exit and straight line speed. With higher difficulties the pace is instead more smooth as the AI is fast everywhere (with still some difference in slow corners, but much less than otherwise).

However patch 1.07 surely has increased the ability the user has to keep up with the AI on corner exit, hence the gap is lower than before.

@DavidG53It’s just my eyes. I suffer from insomnia and have slept for a few days. Learning a new game especially one that represents F1 speed when dead tired isn’t ideal. But only other option is to lay in bed thinking about how to better learn the game.

You’ve probably noticed I’m up and down… That’s being old tired and grouchy: then I’ll read a post that’ll have my hypo brain twisting itself up cause I’m to tired to control. All good fun.. I’m never offensive to anyone on the internet except when directing offended. So I’ll post random nonsense. In just thinking or ranting out allowed.

But I’m finding turning off triggers on dual sense better. Bizarrely when braking. Last year triggers were banging. 

and I can admit when I’ve made a idiot off myself me I forgot and was oblivious to the fact I started Bahrain on hards whilst ai were on mediums.  Explains why the ai were faster 

There is a reason EA didn't do F1 or Nascar games anymore...because they absolutely suck at them! Its like you got together and said what can we do to really * this game up...okay let's  do it!
