Re: AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
This game is so messed up.
AI have insane speed out of corners, though they have none in slow speed corners so they basically brake check you, spin you out then hit light speed out of the corner.
On that note, player car always comes off worse. You tap their rear as detailed above, you spin. They hit you because they do an insane lunge or try taking a line that doesn't exist (because you're on it), you spin. AI car doesn't move an inch and just carries on. Hamilton took me out twice in 2 races in co-op career last night because he just drove into me like I wasn't there.
AI have no tyre wear and make no mistakes that cost them time. I've seen brake lock ups on yters series etc but nothing in any race I've taken part in, either career or online with AI cars to fill the grid.
2021 was broken at launch but this is another level.
Oh and my favourite existing issue from 2021, AI during quali. Crawling alongside you and each other when not on a flying lap. If you slow to let them pass, they just match your speed. This creates a yellow flag, causing other AI cars to slow too. You literally have to stop dead or go off track to get them to go past. More often than not, turn 1 is just a pile up of AI cars 3 wide across the track, so if you've just started a flyer you're screwed.
There are so many others like buggy highlights, only one set of mediums available in a 50% race and player driver numbers not appearing properly on cars but the core gameplay is so bad that it just isn't enjoyable any more
