Hey drivers, Patch 1.08 is now out on all platforms. You can find out what's in this patch in this thread here. How is the improvement on the AI difficulty in career mode? Tell us in this thread here!

Hey, Simple tip:If you are not being able to compete against AI because they are faster than you... Maybe, the AI level that you are using is too high for you. And this is a different game than last year one.Most of the complains that I read could be solved if you LOW THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL.Start low, find your balance checking your team stats, your team mate level and you will find fun.This game is incredible. Perfect? Off course not. People is trying that the GAME GETS ADAPTED TO THEM. You will be happier if you try that YOU ADAPT TO THE GAME.Cheers and have fun guys

@PJ-THE_bot-II Yeah, but players that do 100% distance want the actual f1 rules to be followed, by allowing us to choose which tyres we take through qualifying and to the race. On 2021, there were 2 sets of mediums available in qualy and race, this year there’s just the 1 available making for extremely boring strategy options. Take a look at f1 over the past 2 years, it’s become clear that 2 mediums/ 1 hard, or 1 medium/ 2 hards have been the main strategies used. Only on occasion now the soft tyres play a big factor in the race itself, and this is only when the hard tyres are too hard or it’s too cold like Hungary was for them, plus fastest lap if there’s a big enough gap behind to go for fastest lap.All in all, which ever side, EA or CM, decided to remove a set of mediums from the qualifying pool made a colossal error.

When is the patch coming where we can finally use 2 Mediums and 2 Hard Tires in Tires. ? The developers have failed even with the small things

@EA_rephiiCould your guys please give an update on this pretty big issue regarding tyre allocation? We were notified it was passed onto the devs 3 weeks ago but it's not even appeared on the Community-Raised issues list.https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Wrong-tires-mandatory-free-choice-of-tires-not-possible/td-p/11631550Edit: Also, to further the original post of that thread, the issue exists in ALL modes, not just multiplayer.

@EA_rephii Is this issue also on your radar for a next patch? Its not on the 'awaiting patch' list, but it is a major bug that destroys strategy in longer raceshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Wrong-tires-mandatory-free-choice-of-tires-not-possible/td-p/11631550/page/6

On the straight line it works now on ps5. Just did a carreer race. Went from my 80 AI to 83. I could attack on the straight,hold them behind me. Worked well. It was Abu Dhabi so 2 nice straights for testing in a 50% race.

Well hopefully this patch will fix the AI's dominance through corners, out of corners and down the straights finally. Look forward to testing after work. Not sure what happened with 1.07 if it slowed me down or if the AI got better somehow, but the last 3 races of my season last night I struggled to crack the top 8 in qualy and race, but the races prior to that I was consistently running top 5 to podium. Seems really strange.
On another note, it would really be nice if a fix would come for the push to talk button to activate the MFD to message the crew. I'm so sick and tired of it deactivating during a race and having to restart the game. This issue was present last year and fixed, how it's back again this year and has gone 8 patches without being fixed is incredibly infuriating. I guess when you have a game with this many issues though every year this is what we get for our $80. Sad but true.

For me it's working...if anything I need to up the difficulty more. I was using the acceleration mod before and this is better

So since patch 1.06, i cant play online anymore because i always get kicked from lobbies, but at least i could try to join lobbies, now with patch 1.08 the game is crashing to desktop as soon as i try to join a lobby..... When will there be a fix for multiplayer? I guess Patch 1.06 implemented the code for crossplay so can you just remove that, so i can finally play online again?

@EA_rephii Hello,
First, thanks for hearing the community and releasing these updates. As a developer, I know how it works.

Regarding 1.08, I really feel the IA difficulty change so I am trying to raise it until I feel it more balanced again. At F1 2021, I used to play at AI 80. At F1 2022, I had to decrease to AI 50 until 1.07. Now I will try raising the bar again, because I started to apply 1 second per lap to AI.
I'm not a pro, off course, but I love F1 games since F1 97 Championship Edition from Psygnosis.

Not sure if this is due to the patch or only due to difficulty rebalance but I feel that the grid start is better regarding my car performance compared to other cars. Maybe a side effect of AI into straights and its acceleration?

I'm having a lot of fun with the game and I feel it improving after every patch.
For the ones that are not having fun, I would recomend to humbly lower AI difficulty to 50-60 and then start going up. This game difficulty level number is diferent from previous games.

I play on Xbox Series X with a controller.

Hey mate,on GP mode normally i can increase AI by 5 more even,so this would be then on 88. I have no time now anymore for testing but myDriver carreer Mode gave me confidence for next season as i had abu Dhabi now. Maybe someone else is checking GP mode.

I have done some races and it seems to be improved but not gone completely. The AI is still a bit faster on a straight line for some reason.

Are you using auto or manual gearbox? I haven’t tested yet but expect auto to still be slower due to the bug severe we hit the limiter on the straight.

Is the difficulty used in grand prix mode not the same as in career mode? I test difficulty in grand prix mode, play Ocon, quick qualifying, testing difficulty until I'm at most two tenths faster or slower than Alonso. An example in Bahrain 88, in career mode would it have to decrease?
