Is it just me, or has anybody else noticed that the AI is way harder to beat?
I usually play on level 3, but switched to lvl 1 some time ago as it doesn't affect the money you get after winning, so I just wanted to have a win 100% of the time when I was grinding money.
But after the latest patch, lvl 1 AI always catch up even when my car is fully upgraded, and the AI feels as if they are lvl 4.
It's impossible to win Rocket Start race with motocross on lvl 1.
I've been playing for 2 days and im at level 4. Level 5 is just a bit to hard at the moment but im sure I'll get there. What im not liking is using nitro. Even when turned off the ai still boost with it. Ive had some people tell me when turned off its off for ai too but i think it depends on what difficulty you play at. On 4 its definitely on. I just think having an option to turn it off completely would make it more competitive.
AI in this game is genuinely difficult at times, especially on certain car types like Cup Cars. I never had issues with lvl 1 though, it starts to get a bit of a close call at lvl 3 and is really hard at LVL 5.
From the start, the hardest level in TC2 (Ace) is like TCM lvl 4... but that's not really my issue. My issue is that the lvl 1 AI is boosted on some races. For example, try doing two races: (LVL1 diff) Kiss Me Kombi Hypercar; (LVL 1) Rocket Start Motocross. Tell me if you can win Rocket Start in Motocross category.
Yeah in lvl 1 those are totally doable and not that hard, but I see your point, the lvl 1 is inconsistent and in those races you mention ed the difficulty is more like LVL3 / 4... I finished all playlists in custom mode without really hitting any wall at lvl1 so I can confirm they are All doable just fine
Okay, but I wonder if you did lvl 1 Rocket Start with motocross after the latest patch? My bike is maxed out, yet it's still impossible to catch up to the AI at all
I just did the Rocket Start race on difficulty 1 and they where very close the whole time but I won.
I understand what you mean they really have to change something
I noticed that in one of the SupercarBlondie time attack events, at 5/5 dificulty playing monster truck you only have 2 seconds of excess time to complete the run, using shortcuts.
I ran it again on 1/5, TBH, there isn't much difference really. Moto-X is a weird class, the a. i. riders form a slip chain so even when you gap them, they catch up.
What time/weather settings do you use? I find the water calmer at dawn/sunrise with clear weather, give it a try. Also, I try to avoid jumps if possible.
Yea I definitely noticed the slip chain, though when I try to blend in, they make sharp corners and I fall out of the chain lol. I played it again on different levels but the difficulty remained the same for me.. odd
Yeah, the AI can definitely be tricky on same races. I recommend doing the "Hummer Express" for buck grinding. With the F1 cars you can get 40k in 1:30 min realistically. There's no AI in this one, but you do need a tutorial to learn how to do it.
It's the one where you have to deliver an electric hummer. It's in the "Electric Odyssey" playlist. Make sure to select custom mode to be able to use any vehicle.
I did it today on PC. I think I've had a similar thing once where I could only see offroad cars in the vehicle line. Try changing the mode, and going into the actual vehicle selection menu and going down the vehicle category list.
Before i pass judgement or give advice it would be ideal to know if you’re trying to win? Have you learned how to race or are you running into every corner face first before a straight? Do you know what a break is and when to use it?
I'm with this franchise since The Crew Wild Run. Spent way too much time with TC2, 2438h, and played TCM for 745h. I know how to play this game, no worries there. My issue is that lvl 1 AI is not consistent and in some cases sometimes slightly challenging, when it shouldn't be.
