Yeah, and when we're regulated to a strict power level, that shouldn't be something that happens. Speed boosts do not make for good AI. I'm having fun regardless, but it's just odd that 8/10 races I'll be thousands of feet ahead by the mid point of the race, and then only one track pops up and I can't touch the car in first, even though it's the same car in all the other tracks I've beaten early in the championships.
Why it's happening is not what we're discussing. It's happening because they wanted it that way. We're discussing it because it's happening. From the beginning you come across as defending it because it's actually difficult, and made it seem like you're downplaying it happening. When the G35 I'm racing against is slow on one track with a straight, but fast on a separate track with a straight, than it's just not right.
The reward is another Forza Edition car and a golden Race Suit.
It's their own physics engine that they developed that allows us to go as fast as we can. They can see all the data from how fast the fastest are and how they achieve it from previous games. It's not a giant stretch to assume they may be able to use that info to create AI that can travel around the track at a similar pace without the need for some nitro fueled orgy on the straights whilst driving through treacle in the corners.
And is that for getting the required number of points or for completing all of the events in that section. I had the required number of points with 2 events left to go. That was where the game froze up on me.
So you think an AI that has a warp speed drive on the straights and drives like grandma through the corners is them 'driving like real people'. The fact that we are real people and are complaining about how they drive should make it abundantly clear that they do not drive like real people.
I've been free playing most of the time I've played this game. Buying/tuning new cars, admiring the scenery, creating my own races. Not even missing career.
The reason why is irrelevant to the discussion that it's there, and we're not liking it, and they're doing a horrible job at creating an actual challenge. I wasn't confused about that part.
Yeah and the discussion is about what is happening right now, not what caused it to be. They should have spent more effort on the difficulty system and the Ai instead of slapping some Bs onto the Ai to make them faster than what's possible. Use the heavily touted drivitars system that supposedly learns from you and drives like you, otherwise it's a worthless feature that needs updating to. They fall back to much on this, letting these ai Learn" themselves"(even though they don't resemble your driving at all) rather than implementing worthwhile AI.
You get the Rewards for hitting the point total.
Yeah, this is a weird one as well. I did the Rally race in the 3rd Championship where the AI uses the Hoonigan RS, Subaru or VW Rally cars. With fuel & tire simulation on & Long laps, I was out of fuel by Lap 9 in a 10 lap race at Maple Valley. Some of the AI pitted, but 2nd & 3rd were Hoonigan cars like mine and they carried on.
There's only 1 car and suit for passing the Elite Series.
