Cheating AI ruins this game.

[Wybrem]

Ubisoft tell me HOW in [edited] name can anyone close a 13 second lead in 1 minute without me crashing or anything. [edited] hyper car races are useless 1 mistake at last and he gains 600hp to ruin the race for me. 13 second lead than he rubberbands to my [edited], i get nervous and crash to finally lose the race.

Official UBI response below V. Thanks for listening guys.

Its funny how games from 15-20 years ago did it far better.

Rubberbanding AI is not providing a challenge but providing the AI to cheat by the devs because they are to incompetent to program a decent AI to race against.

project cars 2 AI is awfull cause there is no challenge.
here it's very good i think.

Ugh I hate ai catchup in racing games, add an option to turn it off.

It's not even the case of it being too difficult. I still have consistently won all my races by just being careful during the last 85-90%. So it's really just more cheap rather than challenging.

The main issue is how unrealistic and unimmersive it feels. It makes zero sense how they slow down to a crawl on straight lines when ahead of you, catch up and overtake you when you make a mistake even with a 15-30 second lead or even the god-like cornering ability on some sharp turns.

I try my best to take the corner with the optimal speed and best line but I almost never catch up to some opponents in rubberband mode in the corners. Then they slow down to a crawl when there's a straight and allow me to pass, very humiliatingly so. I feel like Keisuke Takahashi when he first raced Takumi. Ughh

Just did all HyperCar Races, they are 100% trash. No fun at all. With photo mode you can actually see them cheat. One crashed for a good 10 secs, got a 16 sec lead, 26secs total. He right up my ass within a minute, he's reaching speeds over 700km/h to do that. They are god's in corners when behind you, they drive THROUGH cars and trees. Absolute crap design but I didn't expect anything better after TC1 AI shamelessly teleporting in front of you when you're "better". Been here since the first alpha and complained about it since than.

AI in general is trash, there is no challange here, just drive slow for 90% and floor it at the last 5%. But that's no fun either. If you stand still they will wait after a while, at least in TC1.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I watched them go straight through civilian vehicles like they were ghosts. And they ALWAYS catch up at the very end. The hypercar races are supposed to be the best part, but they're ruined by these cheating AI. Thankfully I already completed them.. but ffs... what a headache. Crashed and flipped my car in the redwood forests, and almost lost a 50min race because the AI magically appeared to to steal the 1,2, and 3rd position. Thankfully I was able to catch up because they slow down to 15mph after they overtake you..

Hey everyone!

I have been sure to pass along all of the feedback on the AI and their ability to rubberband. Thank you to everyone for taking the time to share your thoughts on this.

Agreed the rubber-banding AI needs to be fixed. Its trash.

Is this still a thing? AI in front = very slow, AI behind you = sticks in your backseats?

It seems that nothing has changed and probably never will.

Feels to me like it’s only present on normal difficulty. In the same car I often beat hard opponents by 10+ seconds compared to how far I finish ahead of normal opponents.
