AI dirvers not defending

Recommended Posts

Hi,
So I am very happy with F 2016, I think the career mode needs lots of work but overall the game is great.

One of the things I'm less happy with is the race craft of the AI drivers, some still hog the racing line when they are shown a blue flag, even after the patch. But the thing I'm really disappointed with is the AI staying pretty much  on the racing line when I overtake. In Grand Prix 3 and 4 drivers moved across early to defend the inside line, that game was made over 16 and 14 years ago.  I've not seen this happen once in F1 2016. I'm only racing on hard right now, can anybody tell me if they get more defensive as the level of difficultly increases? Great if it does but also bad if it only kicks in at very high difficultly.

I really wish they would move inside to defend. It seems like such a simple way to make overtaking more difficult and more rewarding. This was something I wanted back in F1 2015 and hoping it'd be included by 2016. I don't remember if defending was in the games before 2015.

It's way too easy to overtake if the AI gives you the inside line, even without cheesy dive-bombs. What I do is I try to force my way into the outside line for their own good and make them defend, but that's not always possible because sometimes there's a wall there, or grass which would make me slower and unfair to me.

I posted about this almost a year ago in this thread, but I never saw it addressed, so I still don't know why it's not in the game.
