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.
I chose challenging mode, but this is not just challenging, it is bone grinding infuriating. The AI will of course always be perfect. I even saw an opponent AI basically morph through an oncoming car and didn't even twitch. Just phased through it like it wasnt there. Needless to say that AI was in first place. Who wins the race is very much determined by who you're side betting against, but not always.
Lol one time I saw a civilian car just turn right from the left lane in a two lane road just to block my path, because there was no intersection or road to turn right on. Just to screw me over and make me go flying. The COPs are also useless in the race they do not harass the AI opponents, they only harass you.
If I'm losing every race or coming in 4-5th... you have no money to upgrade, and the struggle continues ad infinitum. lol I'm almost curious to see what happens when you get to the end of the story and have no cars to win with. 😂
I've also seen the case where racing a perfect race on relaxing mode, can still place on the bottom 4.
One instance where was 250m from finish and in first, and the next thing I know was overtake by four cars, even when I hit NOX during the first overtake.
I have also noticed when you side slam an opponent, which used to cause them to oversteer in other NFS and loos speed, now they get an accel boost and pull around and away.
Additionally, when attempting a PIT mauver on them, they do not spin out. I've spun out the cop's but it doesn't work on AI racers. Ugg!
Hello. I started playing the storyline for the second time. The first time I started on Mitsubishi Eclipse. It has four-wheel drive and has very poor acceleration.
When I started playing the storyline for the second time, I bought a Mustang Boss, which has amazing overclocking even in stock. Immediately after the purchase, I bought "road" tires and won races. Try to do drafting, and make a boost every time it "fills up". On the Mitsubishi Eclipse, I took 3-5th place. On the mustang, I take 1st place.
I’m happy all you guys chimed in and we’re all having the same issues. It’s about making the game enjoyable and not stressing out. Hopefully devs see this thread and fix it.
