The difficulty settings in this game are shockingly terribly done.
First of all, Forza Horizon 3 has about 8 difficulties that are very small steps above eachother to make fine tuning which difficulty you play at really easy to adapt to your skill level. Great!
Now if i can fine tune my difficulty to be perfect for my skill level. WHY ON EARTH IS THERE ADAPTIVE DIFFICULTY. I already have it set to how i want to play. I dont need drivatars magically becoming slower or gaining over 1000 hp just to fly by me in a race after passing them.
This is ridiculous. Not only that but it forces ur difficulty setting to make no difference as to how drivatars drive in your race.
This is extremely frustrating and unrealistic even for an arcade game such as this.
DIFFICULTY SETTING DONT WORK IF YOU TRY TO IMPLEMENT ADAPTIVE AI.
There needs to be an update to remove the useless afaptive ai from this game and leave the multiple difficulty levels where you yourself can choose what to expect. Rather than seeing a C class car passing me at over 300 mph.
I’d agree, but additionally I think the drivatar AI needs to be majorly fixed, cars in front of you blocking an overtake whilst letting three or four drivatars past.
Also the inability to start anywhere other than 8th is annoying too, during a championship I’m winning I’m still magically in the same spot every time, would be nice for it to be shaken up a bit, even if I’m in 4th or last, better than the same spot for every single race.
My suggestion for starting spot: The game rolls two dice and the sum of the dice determines your starting position (from 2nd to 12th). Just my two cents worth. If you have the Pull Rank perk active, you start in 1st place no matter what.
Agreed about the AI in this game. Extremely annoying!
I’m a fast to the masses driver and if I set it it on new racer I shouldn’t be racing with any drivatar. Let along being overtaken as if Moss or Rubberdave (my drivatars) have DRS and then worst after they pass me they entirely forget how to drive. Becoming ridiculously slow in the turns right after they made miraculous on rails turns.
I could accept the drivatar overtaking me and then we are in a race. I can win on unbeatable and pro, and then it’s a pretty realistic race, I beat the endurance race I set up on unbeatable and I had nice descent battle for 12 laps because we were in same car and I was going for clean. But when I decide as a user to use New Racer. There is no way I should be challenged. What is the point of the difficulty levels!!
Heck I won almost all and placed second on online championships I ran last night and I didn’t do it by hanging back and boosting XP, I pretty much podium almost ever race in d class upgraded cars not HE ones not exactly the right car for the job in most cases.
I don’t mind the starting position issue, and the perk that you added makes it so if you don’t like the position given you can do something about it. But the drivatar difficulty and driving is RIDICULOUS in this game!!!
Well said OP, I was racing Goaliath in my Ford GT HE and was passed by a Lexus, pretty sure the drivitar wasn’t going 250 as I was. I play on Pro and Unbeatable though, really is determined by what race and the PI because they do behave differently in certain scenarios. I prefer Pro because Unbeatable drivatar’s prety much defy’s logic 97% of the time and it gets more than frustrating for the most part. All I can say is before a race look at the starting grid and tune/upgrade your PI to the highest possible number in that class and take corners as if there’s an apex to hit because the AI will go right through the middle of the checkpoints. Lol just a little wisdom given from the wise…Also does anyone know why the starting position has to been 8th, idk like someone said before using the perk that puts you in 1st is the best bet I guess.
