Impossible times

[PAYLIO]

I've just made Argentina GP on 120%. This is absolutely crazy :
The AI makes 1min52 in EL1 and wins 1/2s on each session. Result ; 1min50 in race with medium/hard, better than the qualifications with soft/soft)

[PAYLIO]

The same for Qatar and Austin

Then Lower the difficulty... ;-)
I'm assuming you're talking about moto3, but a 1:50 is not that fast, especially not for the hardest difficulty. The time trial record is a 1:48:3 so the AI can most surely be beaten.

The problem isn't the AI, is your bike in career mode after the third update. Try 120% same bike, same track BUT IN RAPID MODE. You will get a realistic time. It's a pity because that year the AI is one of the best in motogp series, but they decided you have to run with a pocket bike and maybe at the third season, with the improvements, you can have a bike than can compete for some points in a few tracks. Don't know if it also happens in moto2 and motogp.

What do you mean by RAPID MODE?

Oh yes, I understand. But still, with 120% AI they will always be 1.5 or 2 seconds faster

[PAYLIO]

I know that if I play 120%, I will have to be very strong to beat the AI.
But the problem is that it's not realistic. I speak about the AI's progression during the race week-end. They are faster and faster after all sessions. But also faster in race. Faster than the qualifications and this is absurd.
Just look at the real times that Moto 3, Moto 2 or Moto GP pilots make in real life. With the soft tyres in qualifications they are absolutely flying whereas they ride 1 or 2 s slower during the race.

[PAYLIO]

Oh yes and there is also another thing I don't understand.
Just to explain, a youtuber called Robo 46 makes videos about Moto GP 19 Career mode. I watched some of his videos and something just surprised me. I play with the same race options, difficulties, no assists, no flashbacks..... So why the AI in his game is riding a 2min19s lap in Sepang and mine 2min16s ?

[Nikki Swine]

Maybe he changes the AI difficulty...

In career you have to develop your bike, including the engine, over the course of the season. It starts off weaker than the rest of the grid, it's not a bug, but a "feature" - was the same in MotoGP 18.

And now the AI is quicker than the fastest time trial record at Mugello.
What do you want to do with that ???

[Geert]

I'm not sure what you are complaining about, you said above that it is not the difficulty that bothers you but the fact that the AI get better times in a race compared to the qualy and that this is not realistic.
So, again, lower the difficulty and the IA will drive slower times..
This game has a steep learning curve, there is no shame in starting out on a lower difficulty. Just ramp it up when you consistently win. And to add realism, you can lower the difficulty up until the point the AI does lap times that are in line with reality.

I finished 5th in Qatar, won the 4 next races and just finished 8th at Mugello thanks to wet conditions. (Because I'm 2 s slower than the last AI on dry track). All in 120%.
So I will not low the difficulty.

I was just reminding what you said before. AI is not so fast comparing to time trial records.

AI in Mugello was 1s faster than time trial record on this track.

But I'm definitely not the best player on this game. So I'm not able to set a world record on each track.
It's just again a problem of dizziness. I'm 1.5 s faster than the AI in Assen, 2 s faster in Valencia.
Just a slug in Sachsenring, Mugello, Brno.....

[PAYLIO]

So, I now think that the problem comes more from me and not from AI.

[PAYLIO]

It's just a bit frustating.
Imagine if Marquez, absolute rocket at Austin, Sachsenring or Aragon, was behing Abraham or Syahrin on other tracks.
