Opinions: Separated AI and teammate difficulty levels?

You can adjust a lot of your gameplay by choosing expert settings and just make the competition develop faster or slower to your liking. You can't adjust your teammate, but you can adjust the competition when you have outgrown them.

@rayloriga  I know exactly what you mean.   Last years game in season 3 off my team. We dominated and 1-2 in all but 3 races and generally  over the course off a 50% race we would be over a second a lap faster than the ai. I’m alittle infamous for never going further than 3 seasons in my team before restarting.  Not sure if it will be as much a an issue with adaptive ai or dirty cheating rubberbanding Ai.  Which I believe is only active in casual mode but I wouldn’t be so sure.  As I’ve been restarting a new my team career after  completing race a Bahrain over and over so I can try different starting options. And pretty much every race ai at 80 last 5 laps off a 50% race the ai behind start lapping roughly a second a lap faster and I start lapping a second a lap slower despite car and tyres are all ok

This is what I'm talking about. With a car almost maxed out, you are a lot better than the other teams. However, your teammate also has a maxed out car, and he is doing insanely fast times.

That's why I believe players should at least have an option to choose from two separated difficulty levels (teammate and the rest).

Casual players are not usually that good, so the only way at the moment to mitigate this would be increasing a lot the AI level (so they get more competitive) but of course, that would imply that your teammate gets even better.
