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)

To keep it short.
On PC with mods, yes for certain.
On console, eh...just play F1 2020, at least it won't be break by another patch or something.
Regarding the AI consistency when I first tried the game, using all assists but steering and ERS/DRS, I found 75 to be the right AI at all tracks. One patch dropped it to 70 but was still consistent at all tracks wet and dry. Then a patch made that wrong in the wet and off in Monaco and Singapore.
At present, on Xbox One, 73 seems to be the AI wet or dry except at Monaco where 65 seems to be the number. I have not raced Singapore since the new patch nor Azerbaijan which was fine in the dry but not the wet previously.
Given the use of Traction Control, Auto gears, and Auto Braking, and using the games suggested default setup, I should be fairly consistent compared to the AI,
I just wish the GP mode AI was the same as the My Team AI so I can set it without the issue of car development clouding the calculation.
