Is the game now playable / enjoyable?
Hi folks, Picked up the game at launch but sold it as it drove me nuts! Just wondering if it is somewhere more enjoyable with patches etc being in place? The AI straight line speed just broke it fo...

I think the game is playable/enjoyable since they've fixed the AI traction after slow corners - and made everyone change their race setups hehe
AI inconsistency across tracks? An absolut classic. Simple to solve: adjust it. There's at least 2 or 3 ways to find the suitable AI. "I use 110 in X track and I don't wanna use 90 in Y track", well...
Over/Under fueling, handling model, traction, tyre allocation and etc are simple to solve by learning how it's been working.
There's two points that need attention:
1. AI aggressiveness: it takes more caution from you when overtaking but it seems to be adjusted in the next patch, hopefully next monday.
2. AI super laps towards the end of the race. I don't feel it but @ScarDuck14 (and many others) does and I take his insight into consideration.
What I feel the most it that many are saying of going back to F1 2021. Same time last year (in another place) we were talking of going back to F1 2020 and then F1 2019... I mean, it takes a toll to release a game every year. Could've let F1 Life aside and focus on the game itself? For sure but here we tend to be more race focused than the large majority of players. And the large majority of players make more money than we do.
It's a game (it's not a simulator), it's supposed to be fun, you kill your fun by not adjusting your experience.
@TotosHeadphones Overall I'm liking it more than F1 2021 in the same time last year and I think 50% off is a good offer.
(I wouldnt go for the Champions Edition unless it's mandatory for you to race with the Icons)
@dancrodrigues It’s the main thing that aggravates me. Which then annoys me more that I’ve let something on the internet get to me.
It’s a game it’s sold as a game with a age rating off 3+ and it’s been common knowledge ever since codies first f1 game that it’s a simcade by design. Then there’s more clues with the simplified and limited setup options and the difficulty levels ranging from a 3 year old could pick up and play to even Jarno gets dominated out with off slow corners.
But still Elitists flame that it’s a in realistic sim and whinge they couldnt beat a TT lap by someone who had ABS.
Not to mention any suggestion off helping casual pad users get more out off the game and they go mental over reducing the skill gap.
Funny how the top elite drivers don’t feel threatened by reducing the skill gap. Maybe it’s because elite drivers adapt and overcome.
Grumpy old man day today 😀🙄

Got to say that replying to you now made remember the TC hard times pad users have and I forgot to say that where I wrote those points of attention to me. It's been a roller coaster of emotions to change TC from MED to OFF with a pedal, I wonder with a controller. A smoother learning curve would be very much welcomed. You said Grid Legends has some 5ish degrees for TC, right?
- @dancrodrigues We’ll always looking to help improve fellow padders gaming fun time.. CM have received a awesome solution to look into that would help on so many levels by someone all knowing😀 But I’m not sure if it can be used in this game as Im not coder/programmer: if it can would really really help
@ScarDuck14 I think the age range is more about levels of profanity and violence rather than whether it's a recommended age from when a person can play! You must be in a really bad mood 😃
- @TotosHeadphones Was to point out games have age ratings. And this one is safe for screaming tantrums feet stamping toddlers that have yet to grasp the concept of it’s not all about them and sharing is caring 😀

I'm sure I've seen some 3 year olds driving in online lobbies...
Not if you want to play it properly
AI still get in the way in practice/qualifying, often causing grid penalties (this isn't fixed from 2021)
Tyre choices are still broken, so you can't run a realistic strategy in 50% and 100% races
But it's all good, because the McFerrari livery is in for a limited time 👍
