What the hell is up with all the Rally Cars filling AI positions that should not be there? This game has been out going on a year now, and after all these updates.., it's shocking that AI allocation in the races (outside career events) is still a train wreck.

I just did a race with my RM'ed Integra. 15 AI cars on the grid for an "asphalt" circuit race, and 13 of the AI vehicles are damn Rally Cars. These Rally Cars are constantly showing up in races where they don't belong. It's laughable to go into the high end race cars to find yourself fighting Rally Cars. It just looks sloppy and half assed on PD's part IMO.
 
The Integra RM is hardly a high end race car. The way the cars are picked in Arcade Mode is a mixture of the mode you picked, and something do you with your weight/power ratio or PP. What level were you on?
 
Its not just that, i did a arcade race with my fully tuned gallardo, i raced against 15 gt by citreon concepts, yes.... fifteen!
 
That's the same level as racing with Veyrons in this system. That was probably on Intermediate, wasn't it?

I never stated the Integra was a high end race car. I was referring to much more powerful race cars in general. I raced this on the Pro Level and was put up against 13 Rally Cars.

The PP system needs work. I completely understand the weight to power ratio.., but for Pete's sake.., PD should at least be able to allocate AI to the proper discipline.
 
I'm just saying that's the system. If you make your car worse (significantly), you should get different competitors.

That's just it though. It's a RM'ed car. There are only a handful that can have this modification. There are over 1000 vehicles in this title. We should NEVER have to "dumb down" any vehicle just to get a proper AI selection. There's no excuse IMO for such sloppiness when taking into consideration how long the title has been out.

The PP system is flawed for Arcade Races. It has been flawed since day one, and after all these months Kaz still has not sorted it out. Kaz's attitude towards "offline players" for GT-5 is disgraceful IMO. There are many problems with Arcade Races.., and even some of the One Make Races suffer as well.
 
Okay, well go make it a topic in the Feedback section. Saying it here won't do much.
 
How is the PP System flawed for Offline Players, How do the one make races suffer as well and as in High End, did you bother going into the GT300, GT500 and LMP classes to see if it has a similar issue?
 
I don't have a problem with rally cars if they are competitive. If you race on Arcade mode hard the AI will select cars around 30-50pp higher then your car. So if you don't want to see rally cars try a car with higher Performance numbers. Also if your in a production car the game will not select race cars to race. It's frustrating but that's why online racing makes up for it.
 
I was driving a nascar and had to race against 15 LMPs of Daytona. I was left in the dust at the beginning of the race but eventually came back from behind to win!
