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.
yea, I play on 91 and the AI just flies on the straight. No matter how hard I try to nail the exit, the AI just takes off and only with late braking or with a mistake on exit from the AI I'm able to overtake.
In the opposite direction it is almost impossible to really defend when you want to play it realisticly. So no absurd late braking and so on.
90% AI and they are way too fast down the straights.
Well, another year of the same old thing. What's the point of betas if you were already warned about this?
To be fair to them, I played all 3 beta tests and didn’t notice this an issue in any of them.
The frustrating thing is, this was an issue on launch for F1 23 aswell, this game generally is such an improvement over F1 24 so I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as long as it gets fixed.
On maximum AI difficulty (110), the AI in F1 25 are significantly too slow. This makes it impossible for seasoned players, esports drivers, and those seeking a realistic challenge to enjoy competitive racing. Even in the slowest cars and using default setups, it’s currently too easy to outperform the AI, which takes away from the realism and challenge of the game.
In previous games, 105 AI with a custom setup provided a perfect challenge for me personally but now I can easily beat them on 110 with a default setup, even though I’m not yet fully used to the new game. The AI’s improved racecraft, strategy, and consistency are noticeable and appreciated, but these improvements are undermined by the lack of raw pace at the highest difficulty.
I play on 101 if i use ERS and my Setup its actually fine to defend but on higher theyre pretty fast on the straights even in the rain.
From what I've gathered, the AI's battery use is unrealistically OP.
The correct way IMO to tune 110 AI is to make them stronger in entry- and mid-corner speed (not traction, they are very good at that). Then nerf their straight line / ERS performance.
Also, I feel the AI isn't affected by dirty air enough. Dirty air is a massive part of the game this year for the player (grip, tyre wear, engine temps), the AI doesn't simulate that harsly enough compared to the player. The computer will just fly by you every time they get within DRS, while you have to fight like your life depended on it to even get close with DRS. Overtaking is very difficult because engine temps rise so quickly (not a bad thing if you implement this to the AI as well). Also, like I said, they are too OP with ERS. This is not new for F1 25.
With all this being said, this year's game is a MASSIVE improvement on basically all areas, especially the AI (DRS trains, overall behavior in wheel-to-wheel battles and tyre strategy). Still not where we want to be, but very encouraging steps following a disasterous F1 24 game.
I agree with the majority that 110 AI is way too slow overall, but that comes from them being bad in the corners. On the straights they are way too good, which makes it even more bizarre that they are slow overall. Just very, very poor in the corners I guess.
I play with the difficulty at 100 and in rainy conditions in Miami it’s simply impossible. I had a small accident at the start and went from 6th to 12th, and from then on it was just downhill for the whole race. It’s impossible to keep up with the pace. Same for Jedahh.
Yeah, just done my first My Team race in Melbourne, 106 AI. The AI's acceleration out of melbourne's last corner is ridiculous. Back straight is still weird but not as bad. Lost nearly 0.7 seconds on one lap down one straight.
Hi,
I’m playing on 99 AI level and i also noticed that the AI is very fast on straights (especially in Miami). I also have a lot of problems with tire temperatures getting too high, I upgraded from F1 22 to F1 25 and in F1 22 there was a setting that helped to keep temperatures below 90 degrees or something, do you know why they removed it and if they will bring it back in F1 25?
