Ai difficulty
Is it just me or Ai difficulty on carrer mode is way to easy compared to other gamemodes such as grand prix mode?
There have been changes this year in each cars capabilities depending on characteristics in real life. So if you’re driving for Aston, you will be quicker on the narrower more technical circuits, and on circuits like China, Bahrain etc. you’ll struggle with straight line speed.
Every year I do the same thing. Spend a few hours in time trial to get used to the car and modify settings. Then I head to Grand Prix mode with short qualifying to find my AI level using a 90+ Teammate, This year Alonso with the default setup. Here's what I have noticed in the 6 tracks I have done.
Bahrain was 88 last year and is now 78
Saudi was 97 now 70
Australia was 93 now 69
Japan was 89 now 63
China was 90 now 66
Miami was 87 now 73
I don't know how these will convert into other modes yet. But you can see there's a big difference. Is it because AI is harder? Maybe. Could the default setups be worse? Maybe again.
This is not a complaint of any kind as it's just a number, But Might help others in setting there level.
