One Thing That Would Make the Game Unplayable
One major problem, that I hope is not in Payback but was in 2015, was rubber banded AI. This made the opponents virtually unbeatable. I really hope Payback does not have this at launch.

You are mostly right, but the 90s NFS game i never experienced that the A1 racers could catch me up just like that. I mean if you drove the best car in the game you would win easliy 99 percent of the time, unless you crashed or you had a much slower car. But i agree it is kinda frustrating that the A1 can catch you up in a few seconds, expecially if they had a huge crash. But that has been a problem since 2010 after Criterion started making NFS, yes Black BOx also had a few games where rubberbanding was a problem. Except from Hot Pursuit 2, so lets hope Ghost Games does not make that mistake again.
From what I've seen in the race videos from gamescon it doesn't look like there will be outlandish rubber banding. Let's hope that carries over into the full game!
