@nangu22Just did Jeddah qualifying program wanted 7th I got. 1st. Come qualifying was even faster. Qualified 8th a second behind pole🤷♂️
Also the ai difficulty point difference from Bahrain to Jeddah is about 10 points. Jeddah being the easier. That’s so wrong.
This is what Codemasters do: it’s what reviews and players have always raved about.
@ScarDuck14To be very honest, after 2 years, more than 2500 hours of single player experience in the series and observing player comments, I think the AI balance is really not as bad as most people felt. It's certainly far from perfect, with lots of rough edges that needed to be address, but in the end It's still down to the player's ability on each track and it could be drastically different from player to player.
You know what, I found Bahrain to be one of the easiest when it comes to AI, and Jeddah is still one of the hardest for me, I'm not joking.
The situation is probably similar to other difficult games where player skill and their choices on how they play could heavily impact their experience, like in Dark Souls or Elden Ring with their boss fight vs your build kinda situation.
Since I play close to full assists, I would feel the AI discrepancies more than most. Pre-1.07 the AI was even at all tracks. 1.07 messed my measure and I am recalibrating for 1.08.
But it seems the AI is still fairly balanced track to track.
- @Apophis-STR Hardest track for me and I’ve been racing on it for decades in every racing game. Is Suzuka. I know it just as well as I know any track. But I just can’t dance to it’s tune. Whereas Spa And Portugal or china, I’m lord of the dance.
I have no actual problem with the ai. I enjoy racing the ai. And I’ve had some epic races where I’ve actually punched the air and shouted and down a happy dance: And not been annoyed if I’ve lost or worse destroyed my car. What I hate is mechanics like rubber banding and scripted events. I get they are their for the average casual gaming to enhance the fun. As I’m guessing they don’t tend to race the ai on harder difficulties. But ai from 80 up is a challenge enough @Apophis-STRKind of the opposite here. Started Career Mode last night as Verstappen's teammate. 90AI. Struggled to keep up with VER in Bahrain and came in second. The AI kill me at the exit of turn 10 and gain from two to four tenths on me there. All things gained in sector one are lost. Then I have to make a comeback in sector three. ERS management is paramount.
I dominated in Jeddah and won. I love this track. Once I get a rhythm going its like I get tunnel vision and the car feels like it is on rails. Get turns one and two right and you can pick up several tenths on the AI as a buffer for the DRS straights.
Definitely have to dial in older setups in GP short race mode. That way I can see if my soft tires are going to overheat. Then go back to Career with a well tuned setup.- @Hansenhaus Turn 10 is a peculiar corner, there's a very specific way of braking and line you need to take to get a decent exit, but it's definitely possible to even gain on the 90 AI there.
- @Apophis-STR It Depends my team car first race… no chance. In a redbull or Ferrari yes.
