I though it was ok....

Just got to Monaco on my championship. The AI's lack of intelligence has rendered this track unplayable. Back markers race you instead of moving over. Before the patch they jumped into barriers, now they dont move at all, undermining any strategy you may have. The problem is at its worst at Monaco. The game is a total mess as far as AI is concerned. .....

And it will continue as long as people keep posting how great the AI is this year. I agree with you, the AI ruin too many races and they are not supposed to be racing you in qualifying either, but they do.

What frustrates me is how great this game can be if these stupid things weren't there. But surely this should have been picked up before release? How could the testers have not noticed it?

Just posted about this in another thread, if CM don't consider it a game breaker, I doubt they will fix it.

What makes you think they didn't? Testers don't get to decide when games are released; publishers, VPs and shareholders do.

Monaco has always been a nightmare in my opinion. I've got a good season going as Vettel, currently at Hungary, and the only race I didnt enjoy was Monaco. It's a complete farce. I was winning around lap 25 and I just quit out and retired out of sheer frustration and boredom.

The AI is the best it's ever been when battling them for position. Lapping them is a joke, sometimes there's no blue flag at all, I've lost count the amount of times I've had to use a flashback when lapping.

Its a similar story in qualifying. Why don't the AI move when they are not on a flying lap?! Incredibly frustrating.

And confirm! AI is the best ever appeared in a racing game. Unfortunately there is to settle the question of backmarkers.

Agree with all of you.. AI really needs sorting out in this edition. When they emerge from the pits they're like uncaged animals.. They qualify in a pack..and attack you even in practise. As for backmarkers racing you...its not on...and it aint F1.

Come on Codies....where are you!!!

I actually posted a new thread after going back to playing Forza for a while. While still frustrating, it gave me a new outlook on why the AI in an F1 game must be so difficult to get right.....

They had it right in 2013 & 14, all they had to do was tweak the competitiveness.
