EA SPORTS FC™ Team@EA_rephii I have question regarding an issue, occuring in the game since many previous F1 games. This is about AI having always stable and low tyre temperatures, which gives them massive advantage in case of more grip. This issue is very easy to notice in tracks like Singapore or Hungary. Question: Is this issue going to be resolved in any time and was this issue ever noticed by Codemasters, because this issue existed in every F1 game I played (I played every game since F1 2018).
@KibellalaIt's something manageable on our side even if it felt extremely difficult at first.
I was at Zandvoort yesterday starting with S tires. During the opening laps I struggled with my front left tire heat (101 degrees) and was clearly losing pace little by little from all the pushing trying to catch Ocon in 3rd (which I failed). Then I noticed my car was using way too much fuel (I set it to 1 lap down on fuel, and is losing more and more as times go), so I started cruising at corner entry and just in general be a lot more gentle with my inputs. I thought to myself, may be running soft on track like this is probably too much for players to handle, as my front tire pressures was already set to the lowest.
Then after a few more laps, I noticed the front left tire heat started to drop (back to around 98 degrees) and my pace strangely wasn't dropping either from all the cruising, I even started pulling away from Sainz in 5th bit by bit.
Situation similar to this didn't happened just once, it happened for me in Hungary with my medium tires as well while chasing Gasly, I back off from all the pushing after being stuck behind him for awhile, feeling him pulling away, but then after a bit of rest on the tires I started gaining on him massively and eventually overtook him.
I felt after this patch with the tire being more sensitive and AI nerfed, the game now demands but also encourages players to do more managing with their stints and not just always pushing pushing pushing. The thing is, pushing was never the only way to deal with the AI, and it's even more the case now with the new patch.
Not gonna lie, I've been really enjoying the game since V1.08 and is certain it's going the right direction, the racing has been added another layer of depth now.
Had the most awful experience today in Miami.
Rainy weather with intermediates, AI slow into corners but then tractioning out as hell making me lose 3-4 tenths per straight making it impossible to overtake.
I had to go back to tc on medium to have a decent pace but still not possibile to traction as they do.
Also the safety car delta is badly messed up at the end of S1, in that long turn is going red minus 4 seconds all of a sudden forcing you to almost stop to go back to green but AI overtakes you because they think you stopped the car and you can't have that position back.
I retired out of frustration, I am so bummed right now, got faith in this game but no way I'm gonna buy 2023 until October and 9 patches minimum.
