Dear EA Team,
I really enjoy F1 25 and have a lot of fun with the game, which is why I wanted to report an issue that occurs in multiplayer. As soon as a driver pauses, the AI automatically takes over the car and continues driving at the set AI difficulty. This affects not only league races, but all multiplayer races in general.
Unfortunately, this creates an unfair advantage, as the AI often sets faster and more consistent lap times than the actual player. Especially in competitive races, players can gain time or avoid mistakes by briefly pausing. As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to disable this automatic AI takeover.
It would be great if you could add an option to disable the AI takeover. Alternatively, it would also be helpful if the takeover AI could have a separate, lower difficulty setting than the normal race AI.
Thank you for your work and for making such a great game.
