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

@gatorlb Manual Gears
(Driver Career, Mercedes; No assists; Could run my usual difficulty setting from prior games minus 1 or 2)

Overall: It is better than before but still not equal in my opinion after four races.

@gladystonff93 As far as i know: GP Mode wasnt affected by the AI Straight Line speed shenanigans. I can confirm this since i could match my team mate in GP mode but i was no where near them in MyTeam/Driver Career.

@PBR3491The issue has always been their traction out of corners. Their max speed at the end of the straight wasn't/isn't the issue.

It's that they're able to get on throttle way earlier and get perfect traction out of the corners. That allows them to reach their top speed sooner and carry that top speed further down the straight.

When you lower the AI level, they're just slower during corner entry and mid corner, but still fast out of the corner. Ironically, drivers IRL do this on purpose to make it difficult to be passed.
Unless they addressed this, people are going to experience the same frustrations, just 5 AI points higher.

@brunommouraxone Finally a reply that answers the question of the OP instead of all the cry babies who obviously can’t read.

If you’re having issues with ANYTHING else than 1.08, then pretty please -with sugar on top- post in the right thread.

Some people…🙄

@KVNR01 I know, there were mods fixing this, i was using this mod most of the time but at least in this version of the game the issue seems to be less present because i did not change anything but the games version compared to before.

@KVNR01 That's what supposedly they have fixed. Cannot test right now as I'm not at home.

@1cc3bcbc2e4ab8bf7d2237009f65cb88 nothing has changed in the Grand Prix mode, the problem of straight-line speed is still there

@Amioram Is there any additional documentation you've found that confirms this?

The release notice is super vague and doesn't provide any details about what was updated. Just that you may need to adjust your AI level about 5.

Straight line speed is better but corner exit is still obliterating me
KVNR01

@goodhand12 IMO, corner exit was always the issue. It's not that they're capable of reaching faster max speeds, it's that they're able to reach their top speed sooner down the straight and therefore carry that extra speed longer.

As you scale down AI levels it's the AI's traction out of corners that needs to be scaled back. Instead, it seems to be their corner entry and apex speeds that get scaled back. Ironically this just makes it harder because you have to slow more behind them, preventing you from carrying more speed through the corner, making corner exit for the player even harder still.
