F1 25: AI difficulty calibration guide

Overview

EA recommends calibrating AI difficulty against your teammate rather than using one universal number for every circuit.

How it works

Start with changes of about five points until you enter the right performance range, then fine-tune by one or two points per circuit because player strength varies between street, technical and high-speed tracks.

Practical tips and limits

Make difficulty changes between race weekends when possible. If you are far faster or slower than your teammate, adjust gradually instead of making a huge jump.
