EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHad 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.

Although the AIs general pace/performance is a lot better and more fair now, it's clear they still need work and improvement, especially about their behavior and the fact that they don't seem to be affected by tyre temps, or even tyre wear - at least not as much as the human players are - which makes things pretty unfair on the longrun..
...
Just had a race at Barcelona against the AIs on 100% and I was able to challenge them just fine, overtaking them little by little - started on last place - and gained some places during the first stint.
Then around lap 8 my Softs started to give up (although the game told me they should last until about lap 10, where I should box for Hards - total of 33 laps).
The problem was that the AIs still kept their pace (and grip) just fine and then things got super unfair because of that disparity.
Obviously this is terrible on the longrun, because it kills any possible strategies we can use against the AIs, when their tyres can last longer and/or produce great laps for longer.
The same happened on the 2nd stint, when we were all on Hards and I only got to P5 because there was a SC (also a big and weird glitch during the SC, where some of the cars just would not catch up with the SC and I got stuck behind one of those slow AIs)..
Long story short: the AIs still need improvement and the game still has a lot of other bugs and glitches that need to be fixed - these are facts.
I hope EA progs and devs can do that for us!

Cheers, everyone!
Had my first dry/wet race with the new patch. No question the AI is still OP in terms of traction out of slower corners. Not as bad as 1.07, but still not like 1.06.
@Apophis-STRWell got to Miami. Did practice programs. Before qualifying as I planned selected one shot and swapped in new parts. Qualified 8th obviously starting race in last place. Swapped old parts back in. As I thought I may as well do the race to learn it in race conditions .
Race started and gain a couple off places but once drs was enabled I was last in a mega drs train.
Then new just as bad as old jeff tells me rain is almost up upon us. And it’s the scenario off it won’t get wet enough until a lap after you’ve made your scheduled stop no matter how deep you try to go.
But thought we’ll planned on crashing anyway. So the rains coming my tyres are at 80% worn. So thought ok still to dry but I’m losing masses off time may as well put inters on 12 laps left in the race. Just as I’m coming up to the end off the main straight. What’s this? safety car? When it may actually benefit me? So put on my inters and very very carefully catch up to the safety car. I’m the only one on inters. Safety car. Comes in and race restarts. Still the track is to dry. As I’m coming down the long straight drs disabled. Finally it’s wet I’ll at least get past half the ai: hang what’s this the leading half had already started a new lap. Omg surely not. As expected the slow cars all pit. And track just get super wet I catch the leaders just as they come in for the wets.
I’m winning I’m winning. 6 laps left. Hamilton 9 seconds behind then a another 8 second gap to stroll? Stroll is in 3rd!!!! And backing up the rest off the grid.
So can I stay infront off Hamilton. 2 laps left I look up at the delta and my heart sunk: Imy 5 second lead was rapidly decreasing. Catch’s me but I managed to hold him off going into the tight chicane. But I will be destroyed on the straight: unless I destroyed Hamilton hmm. Should I? The ai is blatantly cheating now and will win by cheating I thought. So Just as he’s making he pass I try to put him into the wall. Didn’t go as planned. We end up locked together all the way down the straight: we get to the corner neither off us had any front wing left. And managed to break free but Hamilton just gets to the line by half a nose: gutted: I was. Would have been my first last to first win: and on a track didn’t care about where I finished.
Hang in new jeff what was that:. I swear you said I won. Must have misheard. Hang on my car is in number 1 spot: I’m top off the podium. Surely not have I? Hamilton got a 3 second penalty for blocking hahahaha
