How to solve the AI level problem
Setting the AI level in career and my team mode is really annoying and kills any joy you get from the game.. especially that it varies from session to session let alone from race to race.. unless ur racing at 110 there is no real sense of achievement as you are setting you own difficulty and test... whats the point?!
There are 2-3 plausible solution to this issue...
Solution 1 : Link AI difficulty to Time Trial
- Most people do their testing and setup on TT so why not set the AI difficulty based on that
- This will also be circuit specific and addresses the the fluctuations in AI capability
- However the developer will need to make the AI maybe 3-7 points better as people tend to make better times in career/my-team mode (especially with easier track limit option)
- you can ive player option of easy medium or hard with in their range of AI
Solution 2: Hot-lap prior to the Race weekend
- Prior to the going to race weekend you can do a One-shot hot lap to setup the difficulty in your own race car with default set-up .. at least its more useful that then those pointless invitational races
- This will be not only be track specific (based on your season configuration).. but also will take the car development into account
- Again in this solution developer will need to create an AI that can step up by 3-7 points depending on how well the player is doing.. especially opponents and rival teams especially in qualification
Solution 3: Do 3-5 hot laps in representatives circuits prior to starting career/my team mode
- the only advantage is that its time saving.. and simple
- This can give a generic and range of AI difficulty..
- will lack track specific accuracy and will not take car development into account
I would appreciate anyone feedback and its acceptable then people can raise it to EA/codemasters .. cos to be honest its been a few days and Im already getting board with tedious process of setting this difficulty at every race only to find that i set too high or to low
