Not one to complain, as I’m enjoying the game otherwise but the game is incredibly unforgiving on “relaxing”. It’s literally a fight for your life to make 5th place. Some AI are impossible to beat which should not be occurring on what is supposed to be the easiest difficulty. Relaxing feels like challenging at this point, idk how much devs have played into it but there’s definitely something wrong with the difficulty as the game stands.
Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug The difficult of the IA is unbalanced, the character with the name of "Shimizu" drives a Ferrari LaFerrari but is so unbalanced, is impossible that it drives almost perfect, and at the end it can make more than 1KM of distance to the rest of the races, is impossible to win to him with a decent car, idk if is the IA or the LaFerrari is so OP, but most of the races you end 2nd because of that, I can win to everyone else but Shimizu is just impossible
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Racing in tier S+
What happens when the bug occurs? Not winning the race
What do you expect to see? Balance the car or the racer to make it more consistent with the rest of the racers
In my case with a maxed out Dodge Charger Hellcat is imposible to win in any mode, Slower acceleration, Worse top speed, worse handling, etc, and the Shimizu's LaFerrari even isn't maxed out, it has around 387 Performance points... And the charger has 400, how a better car is slower?
Yup, I have posted in multiple threads about how difficult this game is on EASY.
I am a veteran of racers (NFS, Horizon, Forza, etc) and no newb.....but damn, you make ONE mistake, even on easy, say hello to 5th-7th place.
You should NOT have to race a PERFECT race on EASY to win....it should be, well.....easy......lol.
@ScarDuck14 That should have no impact on the AI passing me in a truck when I’m in a sports car. On easy. Appreciate you’re trying to help but “relaxing” difficulty indicates I should Be able to play how I want No ?
@Xaegoth glad it’s not just me. Same here I come from Forza as well. Which is even more frustrating, because that game is harder. Relax is the last thing you can do playing on “relaxing”
@Xaegoth I’ve literary gone through 9 restarts for one race & I have Skill. How can that be acceptable for someone who’s never played a racing game before ? I truly Believe they made a mistake with the difficulty and it has to be adjusted
Agree on that...
One crash into a car is an ultimate loss or barely 1st.
Also, relaxing difficulty is not so relaxing.
The cops in free roam always have a freaking parade... Can`t get to one single event without doing a circle around an entire district to get there.
Chopper in when not in a chase is also a pain.
@aYoo_GoBLiNOh there’s worse than that, even if the cops feel less annoying on relaxed, some drivers can go to ludicrous speeds. The drivers after A+ class can get some buffs that makes them like if they had something out of the game… Don’t get me started to S class. Lyric and Medusa are specifically types of absolute brokenness…. They can go to Chiron with full off-road stats in some races and you don’t go to first even if you have the best cars and drive perfectly.
