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

The patch is pretty much useless. The AI is completely overpowered, Bahrain is the worst I’ve come across so far. The behaviour of the AI needs taming as well. They are far too aggressive and just keep causing crashes every few laps. Career is still unplayable. The pace the AI race at is just completely unrealistic, in both qualifying and the race.
That's funny.. I just finished 6th at Bahrain in my new my team car.. I upped the ai by ten from where I had it before. The ai seemed fine and if anything it was my car that had the extra pace on the back straight!

@brunommouraxone I think this has been explained mamy times already and by a ton of people, but lets repeat:

The issue is not the number that is the difficulty. The issue is the lack of consistency in ai. That is between sessions, tracks types of corners and even in the phase of corner.

And It just feels dumb to drive, when the ai full lap pace is similiar to mine, but i have to avoid the ai in apex, corner entry, and braking zone as they are so damn slow so i am to crash into them, just for the ai to complete blast off at the end of a corner into the straight.

It feels like the devs have cut so many corners in trying to patch the ai, instead of rebuilding the ai model, that it is finally broken. The ai has completely different rules than the player and it is annoyingly scripted. If we would try to cut that many corners in a race in the game, we would have been disqualified already.

I can't look at lap times from race director anymore. I think it worked in F12021. Sounds like going back to F12020 isn't a bad idea..

@BoundingSlinky I'm testing the difficulty on all tracks, so far I've had to decrease difficulty by 2 maximum.

Anyone able to test it out to see if straight line speed was addressed?
Yes it has been addressed, I am making passes down the straights again and at the difficulty i was running in f1 21

I don’t think Codies ever actually addressed the fact everyone had to massively lower the difficulty between patches 1.07-1.08.

when the game first came out I ran on 103 difficulty, then following patches I dropped all the way to 80 in career mode.

since 1.08 patch I’m able to run the difficulty back up at 98-100 and be competitive and the game is enjoyable. I take it as we should lower the difficulty by five from initial release for the sweet spot, but maybe that’s just me.

it would be nice if we could get the full left sidebar graphics with the gaps and intervals in quali and race just like in f1 tv. it could be a setting option that we could activate. that way we could see how the race is developing, and see drivers pit, falling down the grid or getting overtakes live. it adds a lot of realism to the game
