Yes, I remember the AI becoming faster and faster the more you upgraded the car in previous versions and to be honest I'm not even certain if this is still in
the game or not because I feel the difficulty is so all over the place that I can't even tell. To me it seems they have added some kind of variability to the level of AI
even at the same difficulty. Which if they have done this I think it's really bad because people are more consistent on the level they're at than they think.
In the FIFA games they have something similar were sometimes playing on professional they AI suddenly can play as they were 1 or 2 levels above the difficulty
you're at. I think this kinda work for a football game in the sense that you can't control all players on the field but I would hate it if they implement this.
I stopped buying FIFA because of this dynamic difficulty thing because it's nerfs your players and make them feel sluggish to control which is a pain in the ***!
Anyhow, I think the AI drivers should be able to vary in their performance but I think this variance should be fairly minor and only be a consistency attribute on drivers themselves rather
than the whole field varying together on the same difficulty. Preferably they would have an attribute for how often the AI driver perform at their top level and another attribute for
how much they could drop from their top level in milliseconds.
The reason I think there is some kind of variability on the AI is that I can the life of me not even come close to setting the difficulty right in this years game. At least in the previous
editions of the game I knew which tracks the AI always was good at and could plan accordingly by lowering the level and increasing the difficulty. There is certainly still
varying by the AI from track to track but there seems to be something even more than this this year. So I find it hard to even tell if they improve from year to year like previously.
