@TotosHeadphonesSome very good points there.
The issue I have is having to set the AI for each weekend; I’ve struggled figuring it all out. With all the variables; car development, track, practice program targets etc, it’s a bit of minefield for me. Have tried various AI adjustment guides etc but it’s just too much effort, coupled with the fact we can’t change AI level at any time in session like before.
I know for sure I am stronger at BAH, SAU, AUS, MCO. IMO, MIA, USA I just get beat. The rest of the tracks I just about scrape the practice programs and can hold position in races, maybe making up a place or two. So over the whole season it balances out a bit.
In season 2 when the car is a bit more developed, it’s a bit better experience with less manufactured excitement, because you’re firmly in the middle of the pack at it can go either way with the AI.
I’ve started a tracking sheet which records various things and this may help me decipher the game to find my perfect AI level for each track, and I am likely going in the direction of adjusting AI per track.
On previous games (for me at least), the AI balance was a lot better and I didn’t experience too much of this manufactured excitement, when I was outperforming the car.
I think if they reduced the excite mechanic by about 60%, I’t probably be in the sweet spot for me.
I’m sure you’d find it interesting if you dropped the AI level by 5 points; and least you know you can manufacture a bit more excitement if you need it 😎
I don’t mind scripted events. It’s more the ai cheats and those I can handle. But when I’ve spent the best part off 2 hours. Where I’ve not missed one apex the entire race. (I missed a few) and banging in consistent fast times lap after lap. And with just a few laps left. I’m chased down by multiple cars. That ain’t just fast but bonkers crazy and often results in having to let them pass or being taken out. And still that wouldn’t bother me. That’s racing. But when it keeps happening so many times and I look at race director and you see last 4 laps they start lapping up to 1.5 secs a lap quicker than there previous laps on old tyres. Where I for no reason start lapping a second slower. Raging over a game is no fun
if the game determines I’m to be rammed into a wall I wish it do it in the first half 😂
