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 for me and also the practice programs being near impossible. I used to always race around 90 but felt like the difficulty was all over the place when I tried.

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the current state

thanks in advance

    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.

    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 👍

  • @Rango82 I haven't had problem with AI getting on the way in practice / qualifying in a long time and I play the game almost daily (my team and co-op caree). At least not in a way where it would be frequent and not realistic.

    Tire choices, yeah, that's not good. For 50% races though, it's rare planned 2 stops would be beneficial though. If you need to do more stops, it's usually because damage and your race is usually ruined in any case. So IMO it's not a that big deal unless you do 100% races. I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed though, it definitely should...
