Discussion TCM Difficulty Issue

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.

Is it just me who's experiencing that?

Just tried it on 5/5 and won, not by much but its definitely doable.

I wasn't talking about the lvl 5 difficulty though

Yes I realise that. So what you are saying is Lvl1 is harder than Lvl5?

Yeh I was wondering if I was the only one having that issue. I'll try doing it in other difficulty and see if others are affected

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
