AI too competitive ?

[MoonCrystal]

Hi,

I don't know what you think but for me the AI is too difficult. I tried several settings like "very easy " and it's difficult to have some consistent result.

It seems that very easy is medium and medium is hard and hard is hardcore or something, but I think something should be tweak here.

[Karttell]

yea they are hard, but like i like it, i just wish they were spread out more. its 1 giant group of riders

I had worked my way up to medium but then I switched to first person view and now I am back down to very easy. I am able to win though after a hard fought race.

Playing on hard, some races i stuggle to place above 15th, other races i take 1st by 10 seconds.

It's clear the AI are programmed with some catchup mechanic that i cant quite put my finger on, and this "mechanic" is implemented better on certain tracks

On the 2019 version on "very easy" I'm first all the time. Now with the same difficulty can't pass 10th. There is a gap in the difficulty in this version.

You don't have time to look at the landscape in difficult ,))
in the middle level I win by more than 10 "
and in difficult level I am 4th overall, winning some race,
I think the AI level is inspired by the online level mx 2019

What physics settings are you guys using?

[Exit Humanity]

Yeah and I find that time qualifying is almost impossible to place better than last or 2nd last, but during the races, I can reach top 3 or 4 on Easy AI and standard physics. So for some reason the AI are masters at qualifying, but during races they slack off.

Here are the fastest AI (Very Easy) times of MX2 in Pietramurata at dry weather conditions:

Practice: 1:33.9 min
Qualifying: 1:36.7 min
Race: 1:34.6 min

It's obvious that there's something wrong in the qualifying session and must be fixed with the next patch.. I think that the gap between the difficulty settings is 0.5 seconds.

I went back to standard physics.

[Karttell]

been practicing, i can now beat the AI on realistic. i was having trouble on easy when i forst played. its not easy and there was a learning curve. i think my first mistake was trying to play it like mxgp 2019. i like these physics way better.

[Leferry]

i can confirm that the Ai is really even on easy. i can't imagine on realistic honestly

[MoonCrystal]

On 2019, on very easy : first on qualification and courses. In this one same difficulty, I'm always the last on qualifications and can't be more than 10th on courses.

[Fatty McBoomBoom]

Just give it time i was on medium for the 1st 15 hrs i played, finally moving up to Hard a few races ago..... its hard :(

[MoonCrystal]

Yeah but I think that the AI should not be so difficult in "very easy" mode...

Sadly, when passing easy, the difficulty has nothing to do with how good they ride, its how unrealistic they ride. You can be side by side with an AI on the uphill of a jump and he will go 10m longer than you because he's programmed to. I got passed while on the inside line, full throttle, from an AI going on the INSIDE without any berm :D
