AI PS4 - straight line speed

Recommended Posts

the ai on my championship season with Jenson Button always overtake me on straights, please give me a solution as its really ruining the game for me, yes Jensons car isn't that fast but even when i give the car the best straight line speed setup I'm still overtaken  easily sometimes without DRS. Even when i change the buttons for acceleration on my DUALSHOCK 4 I'm still overtaken please give me a solution before i crack the disk

Its not a bug mate the mclaren is just that bad (with 1,1 wing) If you look at the onboards in quali the 2 mclarens are usually the slowest in the speed traps lol! I drove a race as Alonso and I thought it was amazing (only for 1 race tho) catch and pass through the corners and then get overtaken again on the straight :) never have I fought so hard for 14th position. It was brazil so you can imagine the main straight there against leg AI. Have you tried the other cars in GP mode? The top 4 straight line speed is williams, ferrari or merc then norm force india (least from what ive seen) If your finding it that bad mate why not go sauber? they prob the 3rd worst team in game, if you want to drive as JB then the 2014 season is also another option.

It is a bug, happens on PC as well. I drive as Kimi and a mclaren can overtake me on big straights!

Ye id say fair enough in a ferrari but just wanted to point out that he is in the slowest car on the straights so he will get blown away in the mclaren.

true in real life. But dont let that overcloud your judgement as there is a bug in the game.

I'm fine on the straights and I'm Vettel, if anything I'm quicker than the AI and I haven't changed my controls

As stupid as this may sound, try changing your controls to something other than R2 to accelerate. That helped me... I was raging on here too, Codemasters messed up the PS4's deadzone on the pressure controls for R2. Only effects some people it seems which indicates that it's a wear and tear issue mixed with bad coding because other racing games don't have the issue.

Let me know if this works as the more people confirming it confirms CM broke the deadzone settings.

Ye ive seen posts about that bug but irl and game the mclaren is one of the slowest cars in a straight :) If he said every car then its a bug but the op says hes playing as JB and getting blown away on the straights. Its easy to say its a bug but if its only the mclaren hes driving then its how the game is intended. The way I see it is its like a difficulty setting (in some ways) Choose mclaren and legend AI and apart from marrusia its the hardest difficulty to play the game. Maybe more feedback from op?
