@brunommouraxone I understand, but I'm racing at the difficulty level which was perfect for me when the game was released, and then briefly during 1.06. Sure, you should adapt to the game. But we, paying customers, shouldn't have to recalibrate our difficulty level every time EA drops a patch.

@TenaciousTO87 sure, you are free to choose.

Personally, I'm having a lot of fun after changing AI level, which has a simple and immediate effect to the game.

Again, I respect your freedom to choose not changing anything in the game..

@brunommouraxone I think this has been explained mamy times already and by a ton of people, but lets repeat:

The issue is not the number that is the difficulty. The issue is the lack of consistency in ai. That is between sessions, tracks types of corners and even in the phase of corner.

And It just feels dumb to drive, when the ai full lap pace is similiar to mine, but i have to avoid the ai in apex, corner entry, and braking zone as they are so damn slow so i am to crash into them, just for the ai to complete blast off at the end of a corner into the straight.

It feels like the devs have cut so many corners in trying to patch the ai, instead of rebuilding the ai model, that it is finally broken. The ai has completely different rules than the player and it is annoyingly scripted. If we would try to cut that many corners in a race in the game, we would have been disqualified already.

Its quite unclear for me if I should lower or increase the difficulty by 5 with this patch?

  @BoundingSlinky I'm testing the difficulty on all tracks, so far I've had to decrease difficulty by 2 maximum.

  I don’t think Codies ever actually addressed the fact everyone had to massively lower the difficulty between patches 1.07-1.08.
  
  when the game first came out I ran on 103 difficulty, then following patches I dropped all the way to 80 in career mode.
  
  since 1.08 patch I’m able to run the difficulty back up at 98-100 and be competitive and the game is enjoyable. I take it as we should lower the difficulty by five from initial release for the sweet spot, but maybe that’s just me.
