Difficulty of the Game is too easy needs increased by maybe 10%

Recommended Posts

@Faya

I have found that in Season 1 using a Sauber and on 102 difficulty I can easily get into Q3 and easily top tens in races. That would mean in a Ferrari or Mercedes 110 would be too easy going by that scale. Im not the best player, but this is too much.

I think the difficulty settings overall need increased, maybe by 10%

After all there is scope to do that as the bottom difficulty 0-30 I doubt is used by most people so there is plenty of room to increase difficulty, it may take a little adjustment for people to find the new difficulty settings.

I have also found that the AI is too easily overpowered by ERS, if you save ers and put rich fuel on it becomes far too powerful in some races also

Your underestimating the difficulty increase from 100 to  110, i think pole at 103 is back of the pack at 110. Don't comment on stuff you don't know just up the difficulty and you'll see.

What's the difference I wonder? I assume about a tenth or slightly under per lap, per each percentage point. So for a second ahead of team mate I'll raise 10 points at least for qualifying and maybe 5 or 7 for race.
I'm basically using q1 for pace of AI and working round that with a restart.

try to play with ferrari or Mercedes cause I notice since F1 2014 that it's more difficult with top team. for example with sauber I can play in 108 but with Mercedes I am in 102 or 103

Up it to 106 and see how it increases. 110 is even worse on some tracks. The AI is ridicolous on some tracks. No beating them if you are not on top of your game all the time. More difficult with a top team than with a midfield team. Its really close.

I noticed the drivers in the good teams are way better than the midfield teams.

Between Hamilton AI and Sirotkin there lies almost a whole second.

Driving against Alonso is also way harder (6tenths) than driving against Vandoorne.
110 Alonso or Hamilton, Vettel are really quick this year compared to last year imo.

Surely thats a problem?
Yesterday in my first season I won the French GP in a Sauber at 108 Difficulty with strict track limits on. Thats insane, I pitted 1 lap earlier than they did and just rich fuelled and high ers for quite a lot of the time there was a VSC at one point but I finished 1.3secs ahead of Vettel at the end

I tried 110 difficulty with no assists on and I can win in a Mercedes/ferrari and I only play 2-3 hours a week, maybe Im just getting lucky, but I thought the 110 would be seriously tougher than that.
 When you look at the online weekly event leaderboards everybody races with 110 difficulty that to me kinda proves its not as tough as it should be if the list is filled with hundreds of people racing at that difficulty for the weekly challenge event.

Hundreds of people out of tens of thousands...I had an achievement for beating 110 AI, it was something like "The 1.3 percent" if I remember correctly. 100 people on 110 AI out of 10k people would be 1 percent. How many do you think should be using 110?
