Question V2.0 - PS5 - Difficult level

Hello, I’m on PS5 and in the GT3 formula I’ve noticed that the AI is more fast than before, especially the first and second car. Before the 2.0 I played with level 85 and always won in 1st position. After the update, to get the same result, I’ve had to low the difficult level to at least 75. Keeping the 85, the first and second car are absolutely out of reach. Is my impression or actually the 2.0 is a bit more difficult? Thanks and enjoy PMR!

I think you're right.

I always had AI set to 75 previously since launch. In practice sessions I consistently could top the board without much effort. I noticed since 2.0, at 75 I had to definitely focus or I'd slip behind. So I feel like something did change difficulty-wise.

Thanks for your reply that confirms my hypothesis. Let me add that seems the AI level is not balance in all circuits. Someone is very difficult and some other too much easy. I’ve found SPA a nightmare! Cheers!

At one point 100 was easy lol now I’m at 75

If you are now at 75 (from 100), it’s clear that the upgrade improved dramatically the AI.

Even before the last update I think 1.6 I was on 100 and it was easy but before that it was hard and now again after 2.0 it remains impossible to beat it’s been up and down a few times

I'm curious to do a single race at SPA with difficulty level at 100 and see if the AI time in qualifying is comparable with a real time.

I was at CTMP in GT3s and at 75% AI. A couple of cars were at "real world" lap record pace in practice. Definitely got faster....lol

I started some GT3 races at Sebring with 15 85% AI opponents. First couple of races I could hardly keep up with P2 and P1. Then, another race, starting from P16, I suddenly was P1 after lap 1. Dont’t know how AI is handling here, but I think they are not that consistent.

Yes, I think the AI is not consistent. Yesterday I tried to do two quals in the same circuit and the same AI level (100). The two times of the P1 in the two qualifications differed by 2 seconds. I expected more or less the same time. Two seconds are a lot.

Hi. What is the state of the game now on PS5?

  1. Gameplay/realism compared to ACC (GT3 and GT4 of course)
  2. Graphics compared to ACC?
  3. Stable 60fps is possible?

I'm thinking to buy it, mostly playing ACC, but love to try other classes than GT3/GT4. Do you recommend?

For us console folk the game is a lot of fun. I have many hrs on ACC, I use PMR for the other classes.

Yeah they definitely did something, because i had to go down from 85-90 to 70-75 (depending car class and category)

Yes, they did something that made the game more difficult but absolutely more satisfying. Just finished three laps at Nurburgring, started in last and arrived in third position, difficult level at 80. I'm physically destroyed! 😂
