The AI straight line speed is absolutely absurd. I can have DRS and dump the entire battery running 0-0 wings and still not overtake or be able to defend.
it was the same on launch for either F123 or F124 and it took like a month to fix it and it was unplayable the entire time.
I am playing at 100 AI and I am having trouble in a straight line in MyTeam but haven't noticed it being as obvious on Grand Prix (only other mode I've played with official F1 cars). The cars speed up really fast behind my car, and with DRS and dumping the battery I usually can't keep them behind. However I have noticed that many times the AI will zoom up behind me on a straight, but will refuse to overtake and just sit right under my rear wing. Sometimes the even move back in behind me and slam on the brakes instead of making an obvious overtake.
I feel the AI is inconsistent at times. They brake hard and early for corners and speed out of traction zones and have high top speeds on straights. In my slow MyTeam car I can catch up and overtake easily in braking zones and corners, but get swamped on straights especially with the AI having DRS. I used to play on a maximum of 90 AI in all previous games, and this year I've had to put it to 100 AI and thinking of going higher.
Is there anybody with the same problem?
I felt that Problem in Shanghai Sprint now i had 1,5 seconds Gap and used some Ers with a 35/31 Wing setup and lower Suspension setup. But the long Corner before the back straight they gain 0,1 and then at the end of the Corner they gained only with this Straight to 6-9 if i dont use my FULL ERS deployment in my Team (weakest Performance Ferrari engine) and when they were 0,9 behind me they just blast past me no matter how much topspeed i had they didnt even need drs. This needs some adjustment only for the AI theyre also always round about 50-80% in every lap how do they recover always much and still gets charged so fast? Its a Joke how youre always Winning everywhere and then theres a straight where they can win back all that lost time. Also after a Red Flag the ERS wasnt fully charged for some reason it was for me on 40% only. Maybe look and change these things. The AI must be full priority to get them as near to a Player as possible of course they should be a little better but not over exxagerrating with the Performance.
I’ve got the same thing at 95
simple as that, as in every game since 22, the AI just has absolutely ridiculous amount of top speed. Played Melbourne, was in dry, I was really enjoying myself, AI was absolutely great to fight with and to race, then came China - absolutely dreadful, AI cars having so much more top speed on every straight. the issue with this years AI, and probably last years too, is that they go very slow in to the corners, making you almost crash into them, and by going totally slow into the corners, they find an absolute unnatural amount of top speed, going even 10-15 km/h per hour faster, with USER using DRS, ERS on overtake, while AI not using anything. I dont get how after many years this is still an issue, and its funny and sad at the same time. for me, as a person who played every game since 2016, these last years are so unbalanced. This game was really also my gateway to the sport, and if some new casual players are starting to play this game as their first F1 game ever to get familiar to the sport, it serves being absolutely unbalanced for new players. Cant imagine a new player with almost all of the assists activated being happy with this, on every single straight, the same thing is happening. and EA wont do anything and they will have to be saved by moders, which there are not a lot of them left. Please EA im begging you
Absolutely agree, basically everything else is great with this game, but the AI top speed is outrageous
Hi again! I just wanted to ask if the recent patch made any changes regarding the engine performance issue I reported. Unfortunately, I can't test it myself during the week, so I’d really appreciate any confirmation or update from the team. Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏
I'm not sure what patch you are referring to as they haven't released a new patch yet, but you will be able to find the patch notes in the link below, as well as the list of things they are looking into for future patches.
F1® 25 - Community-Raised Issues (Last update: June 2) | EA Forums - 12214104
Hey, thanks for the clarification. Since there’s been no patch yet, I’ll wait a bit longer. Just hoping the devs are aware of the top speed / engine balance issue in Career Mode. It really ruins the experience for some of us. Im sorry i thought a patch came out today. Thats what i heard.
Same problem that was in F1 23, F1 24, and now also in F1 25
