Will the AI Improve in 24

[Fergy1010]

I've been a loyal customer of this series since it's release back in 2009.
I've enjoyed the game over the years and the developers endeavors to give you the feeling you're racing F1. I've put up with the flaws along the way whilst waiting for the great dream of seeing the perfect F1 game.

I normally race with a mate online, we've done it for years and we push the game to its extremes. The games performance and look over over the years is improved but..
The one thing that ruins our fun constantly year on is the AI.

Right up to F123 so many AI bugs seem to have never been addressed.
Cars exiting from the pits out on to the race line to ruin your lap in qualifying.
Cars you let through so you can give yourself some space will actually stop if you also stop, it's hilarious. How is it even possible to program AI so poorly given current technology.
Cars racing you in the qualifying sessions, why??
During the race, cars trying to take insane lines to get past you on sections of track that not even Max would attempt.

I could go on, there's a list of explainable s as long as my arm...

Why isn't there an aggression slider. If you want dive bomb city, set the game to 100% Aggression, if you want more tactical set to 75% and so down to beginner.
I love teaching my daughter how to hot lap, she's getting really good. Place her into a race and it's a disaster. You can set the skill level to suit your pace but not the brain level of the AI... Disappointing..

Personally I'm almost done with the game, I'll come back one more time. If I don't see improvements in this aspect I'll be getting my money back.

Love to hear your opinions.

My opinion is, you don't seem to know what session you are in and have no ocular sense of what is around you!

But sure, talk to me of your problems.

Really?? why are people racing you in Qualifying? Track position, time left, have a kit-kat.

Honestly just stay out of the way and stay in your garage!

Happy to talk if you want.

"Cars exiting from the pits out on to the race line to ruin your lap in qualifying." Cause that has never happened in real life has it?

You won't see improvements because you fail to learn. Give it up go elsewhere.

"Cars you let through so you can give yourself some space will actually stop if you also stop, it's hilarious". 14 years and you don't know how to drive a warm up lap? that cracks me up! Seriously watch your time temp and concentrate on your quali lap.

Your arm is stuck up your... take it out and read the track and your opposition... put in your best lap and stop complaining.

If you are unhappy about being passed on track, lower the AI level. If you can't defend you should not be in that class.

You must be so slow... get out of the way.

Turn your AI down and learn to drive.

what is this waffle? the guy is literally stating facts. you say "cause that has never happened irl" for the cars cutting up someone during their hotlap. you know they get a penalty for that right?

For the warmup lap in quali i also agree with, you let the ai go and they stop to let you go and you have to come to a standstill so they come again.

Fergy doesnt need to improve, as he said the ai does

@Allan My experience with the game is Multiplayer only. I rarely use the game for anything else. I'm around your standard at 90% and at that level can keep a McLaren up the pointy end with some luck.

Maybe 95% is not fast enough for you. I'd love you to try 110% and let me know how it goes. Happy to go online with you and test it out:) Could be interesting.
At 80% the cars can't keep up with me and it's no fun sitting out in front. The game falls down when you try and place yourself in the mid field for a hard fought fight.

I don't thing it would take much for dev's to make it better.

That's what I've seen from the game over the years, the errors are there with out a doubt and need to be cleaned up.

I definitely hope, that the Training and Qualifying AI gets way better in that regard. Always strange, that the AI doesn't understand, when you want to make them overtake.

You really should get rid of this "it's impossible mindset". If 2 cars fit next to each other, then it's allowed to overtake and there's only really the castle section in Baku that for sure doesn't allow it.

And overall, 22 and 23 introduced a more humanlike attitude to the AI, thus trying to be more aggressive, when the player makes mistakes and even more so deciding to take a specific line at some point, making it harder to divebomb.

As for the aggressiveness slider, that's literally the difficulty slider. Their aggressiveness mostly depend on the delta speed. If you're faster than them, then they take a more passive line and might even break at corner exit to leave you space. If they're faster then you, then they're more likely trying to overtake you.

And overall, so far i've see human players being more prone to damage other humans cars, while the AI is still relatively predictable, as long as you can hold your own line
