AI balance issues in Career mode
I have now played through a JWRC season and pretty much all the way through a WRC2 campaign and gave noticed undesirable patterns of behaviour in terms of ai competitiveness. For reference I ran 90a...

I noticed that in difficulty 50, everything was fine, but the competitors were pretty dull, so I started increasing the difficulty steadily to 60. When I arrived at 60, the game started to "invent" the timings from the competitors. For example, I am leading in the first stage, and in the second stage, I beat the leader of the class. When I finished and checked the Class table, I was 12th while the one I beat on the stage was leader. I went back to difficulty 50, and everything was fine.
It seems a bug, as the game is inventing timings.
Sorry if this has been mentioned but if you save your progress mid-rally during a championship, when you return to it the AI difficulty seems to reset to, well, super easy.
You know when something is amiss as soon as it shows all your opponents split times as being identical to your time.
PJ Tierney over on the reddit says the AI STILL won't be fixed in the December patch. This is absolutely ridiculous that they would release a game so buggy they couldn't even fix it after MONTHS of user reports. Last time I'll be burned by Codemasters like this, I guarantee you that. Now I know to wait at least six months before I buy any of their games so they can fix the * thing.
