So after selecting Lando as my rival and getting destroyed by him in every race. And all other weirdness. I ended up rage quitting again. And restarted yet another my team career. Must be over a 100 now.
I decided to turn off department events. Got to tell you in the first four races starting as mid team. And in 6th in the rankings. I’ve poled and won the every race except Imola. Safety car glitch in sprint put me at the back🙄🤷♂️ But After Jeddah. I even increased ai by 15 and still I won: And imola I went from last to 6th. Normally I’d finish no higher than 4th in any off those races and miles behind the leaders.
Bit I’ve noticed the ai don’t seem to just focus on ruining my race. By ganging up on me. But quite happy battling it out with each other. And only defend or attack me when I’m attacking or defending against them. It may be because off patch but it’s good. Whatever.
Also my teammate has finished every race. By now whoever I pick has a dnf.
plus all my upgrades that I expect to pass have passed. And only an engine upgrade failed. But can’t complain it was over 30% fail chance/
It may all be coincidence. But prelaunch the devs said department events will have a big effect this year.

Hey, mate!
Sorry it's been a while - I've been away from this forum, but I guess it has to do with the fact that I pretty much already gave up in this game by now..
Yes, I'm still playing it and streaming my races at my silly Twitch channel, same as before, but at the same time I don't actually feel like doing it.. I think I'm doing it just because of the very few people and friends who actually subbed to my channel (although I'm getting pretty much no one actually watching my streams - #ForeverAlone - lol) - but still these very few people spent their real life money on me (which I really appreciate, of course) and then I'm forcing myself to try and keep going just to see IF I can still complete all 10 seasons (even knowing there's absolutely NOTHING when you reach the end - not even a cut scene, or a prize, or an achievement - literally just NOTHING - the game just goes back to the main menu and doesn't even tell you "hey, you're career is over - thanks for playing", or something like that)..
Also, it's kind of a shame that it REALLY seems that at every new patch, they try to fix/improve the game - which is something good and positive, of course - BUT.. it also seems you 'have' to restart your career from square 1 if you want to really feel the changes and see how supposedly better the game is..
Needless to say we should not be 'forced' to restart a 10-year career at every new patch, right?!..
Anyway..
I can only hope F1 23 is a better game and if not, then it's gonna be my last one of these series, until they get their sh!t together and make things right..
I feel extremely frustrated right now, especially because although I play this game just for fun, I also do it mainly so I can stream it on Twitch and try to make my channel grow, but.. right now there's no one interested in watching this problematic game (it's really NOT popular at all).. my channel isn't going anywhere, especially since the problems in this game started to add up and people started to lose interest in it, months ago.. and I'm not even having too much fun playing it, mainly because of so much BS about the AI performance and behavior that literally kills the career modes, so.. jah.. - sorry for the bad mood, guys, but that's what F1 22 did to me..
I’m now in season 4 of my Career Mode with Aston Martin, resource points and money set to low and it has to be said things are getting a bit boring and odd.
By the middle of season 3 I’d upgraded the car as much as I could as all four departments were only level 2 so I was just accumulating resource points, I had +12,000 by the end of the season. My car PI was equal with Williams and Haas and I was just about finishing races in the points, but still my rival options were always either Verstappen, Hamilton, Russel etc which I had no chance of winning.
It seems pretty pointless to keep doing the practice sessions, earning the resource points but not have anything to spend them on. After a few races in season 4 my durability department was upgraded to level 3!! Great, that’ll help me catch up to the others!!! You’d think now I have ultimate upgrades on all engine components, failures would be a thing of the past but I just had two DNF’s in three races when in the points. After the latest DNF I was asked to select a rival, my choices were Russel, Verstappen or Leclerc……….
The practice sessions themselves are still giving unrealistic lap time targets so I now have to lower the AI level before each session. In one practice sessions I was nearly 2s off the target qualifying time for 17th position. Come the end of qualifying and I qualified 7th and the lap time I did in the practice session would have been good enough 15th. Piastri is my current Team-mate and in Austria he scored a big fat ZERO resource points in practice…………..
As I dont get this complicated during my game plays I have a question.
Are you able to flasback when a DNF occurs?
In my limited plays flashbacks changes AI behavior and was wondering if it works at this level of play too.
Just curious.
@BadMayh3mDepends you can flashback if you crash out but can’t I don’t think if it’s because you blow an engine. If you do. As it’s scripted it will still blow
Remember last year…. the time you discovered you could flashback 😂
No it doesn’t work like that.
For some bizarre reason you’re given the option to restart session after a mechanical DNF but if you do, you will still get the same failure around the same time.
