They do intend to give the AI their balls back, right? They plan to admit that the Alex Gillions of the world were wrong and that we don't need to be coddled by overly-pessimistic AI right? Because the pace of the AI was fine, save for the typical being OP at certain circuits and the unlimited--dare I say "scripted" ERS deployment. The issue is and has always been that the AI don't fight for their position and that they're too easy to bully, to the point that simply giving them space isn't enough. I don't have to launch myself off into the nether reaches of the outside track boundary just to coerce the AI into executing an overtake or park on the apex to force them to fight on the outside, right? They're going to stop pitting for tires with less than 3 laps left and gifting me undeserved podiums even on max difficulty, right? On another note, did nobody tell the devs that the resource/acclaim/cash sliders were swapped and inverted? The wording used on "Reduced resources giving too many research points" doesn't sound at all like what is happening. *sigh* When does this patch come out?

I would be surprise (positively surprised) if ai aggressivity changes with difficulty I suspect they mean only pace/time

@matty0blobber Nothing would surprise me. But knowing how they will increase the difficulty it shouldn’t. But we probably notice a huge difference from 100-101. So anyone currently playing on 101-105 will find the game unplayable as they won’t be able to find a level suitable. Anyone who plays 106+ can just drop it down a few clicks

If you do your own reduced money set it up the first day after you selected car and engine and interview set it to normal first so you actually pay the engine and start with only 250kif you use reduced money your money is not enough to pay engine and pilot so it skip the engine so with reduced set at first possible time you start with 2.4-2.5m For RD both on reduced is fine

It's silly to expect them to return AI to how it was in 2022 when so many prefer it now.I don't mind much probably I like AI-2022 but I can live with this one. I just need to avoid stupid kamikaze attack because I know AI would always let me win but if I make realistic attack without pushing/risking too much (like in real life with fear for real consequence) the game is okay.You can ask for the future (not this 2023 game, maybe 2024) that they place a slide with AI aggressivity from 1 to 5 or similar

@AquaOrenjiI think what confuses people about the difficulty setting is what it ultimately changes, a lot of people think it only changes the Q times and race pace of AI but i'm certain it also changes their attacking and defending ability as well as other things too.They need to add separate values within the difficulty settings section to help us balance it out.Also for EA/Codie to admit 100-110 needs changing does that not mean all difficulties are screwed up too?

So by admitting the AI is too easy and the next patch...

Hi, from what is written: "AI difficulty at the highest levels (101-110) are easier than expected" I don't understand if it refers to the qual/race pace or rather to the aggressiveness (attack and defense), it would actually be nice to know...

Only if they're on a linear scale. If it's exponential, with the trailing end ramping up in whatever parameters the AI difficulty settings entail, they could fine tune that while keeping the rest (1-100) the same.

@mariohomoh From what i've seen everyone playing this year has had to up the difficulty to some degree, the average is up this year across the board for every track.

@matty0blobber So they are addressing this in the next patch. But knowing codies always go from one extreme to other. Expect Ai over 100 to be unplayable 😂

@ScarDuck14Oh yeah for sure, there's a saying; 'keep trying to please everyone and you'll end up pleasing nobody'.

I'm sure It'll somehow effect every difficulty 1-110 by accident 😛

@AquaOrenji Wait, were the sliders actually inverted? or just made no difference no matter which option you picked?
