Please patch the times of the NPCs

Recommended Posts

Hey first i want to say sry for my bad english 
It would be nice, if you can programming the NPCs differently in some races, because now in every result of every race the first seven positions are: 
1-2 Mercedes
3-4 Ferrari
5-6 Williams
7 Ricciardo

So looks really every result on a 100% race WITHOUT crashes and this is very boring after a while.

Mercedes is 0,2 - 0,4 sec faster than Ferrari
                       0,5 - 0,8 sec faster than Williams
                         1 - 1,3  sec faster than Ricciardo in EVERY race

In real, Nasr P5 in Melbourne,  
Kvyat P4 in Monaco, Belgium and Mexico, P2 in Hungary,
Ricciardo P3 in Hungary, P2 in Singapour
Verstappen P4 in Hungary and USA, 
Grosjean P3 in Belgium, 
Perez P5 in Belgium, USA and Abu Dhabi, P6 in Italy, P3 in Russia
Button P6 in USA
Vettel 3x P1

That will unfortunately never happen in the game without crashes...
Also the difference between the Top 7 and the midfield teams is too big. They are 2 Seconds faster than them.
And thats the reason why the gap between P7 and P8 is so big, 30-50 Seconds in every race and that is really too much and not realistic.
If you take a midfield team, you often drive in this gap between P7 and P8 and so you have always a boring race...

It would be really nice, if you can patch this before F1 2016 is comming... i bought every F1 game since 2002 and I really have to say that F1 2015 is the best game, you ever produced, but the time bugs of the NPCs make the game really boring for me and I have no motivation to play it, because of the same result in every race

Yes please but they will not. 
I tried crashing Ham in the first corner and kept him stuck for like 20 seconds then retired and he still won the race!

I agree and for me this is the major flaw of the offline game. 100% races are too boring mainly because the gap between tiers is too big and after some laps the cars are spread and we never see midfield teams like Force India and STR fighting for positions with Williams and Red Bull, something that happened a lot during real life the season.

In addition, Mercedez and Vettel are much faster than the rest of the pack and in most of the 100% races even P6 or P5 gets lapped by them.

I also agree the game is great but this issue that could simply be fixed, ruins the experience.

I'd like to hear from Jenny or any other CM representative, if they recognise this as an issue and if there's any plan to be fixed.

When it was announced that the last patch would update the preformance of the teams to match the season, I was expecting the huge gaps would be fixed, but weren't.
