Nothing but tough love. Min/Max the PR yourself, don't let the game do it... It's a HUGE handicap. People will still cry and say this is an L take. Nobody wants solutions to get better. They want you to tell them they are right and the game is too hard. If you give them tips to get better at the game, they still cry instead of trying to improve.

Low key hate that I have to drive meta cars...

[popuraismywaifu]

TL;DR: AI is shit, it rubberbands, but we can win anyway. 99% of the players aren't like that, and they won't be able to do that as easily, or won't be able to do it at all.

AI in TDU SC is piss easy most of the time, where you can gap them in any car you want, but there are just A FEW races, where the AI drives like it's on rails, and it's hard to keep up with them even with a meta car (I've only had that problem with Belcher Bay Loop race, where the AI were consistently showing top 1-5 leaderboard times).

On the other hand, the AI doesn't adjust it's PR to your PR, so I've had a lot of races (especially in the beginning of the game) where my 478 Mustang was racing against a few 550 TT RSes and whatnot. I still won pretty easily, but wasn't a good feeling, since the AI doesn't know how to do corners and only drives hella fast on the straights.

The rubberbanding is a problem. And it's not consistent. If you bring a detuned car to a race, most of the time the AI will rubberband more, than if you bring a max-class/available PR car. Had the most extreme case happen to me a few days ago, where I brought my S750 Jag to some race, and I had to race against S866 AI car, that was 6 seconds faster than the top-1 time on the leaderboard. Yet when I brought my S881 car, the AI weren't even close to me, and were around the time I managed to get in my Jag.

Basically, as someone who is pretty skilled, the racing doesn't feel rewarding to me. It's either you gap the AI by 20 seconds, or they gap you, no in-between. I can get top 1-10 times in any race, but the skill and "200 more hp" alone can't beat the rubberbanding, be it if you get unlucky with AI, or don't overtake the AI in the first corner or two, and they just fly away on the first straight they see. The overtakes and wins aren't rewarding, and losses are frustrating.

Casual players: poor guys, honestly. It's easy for us to say, that it's easy to beat AI, but we HAVE the skill, talent, tuning capabilities, whatever. Some people just don't know how to, or they don't have time to min-max everything/learn about it, but they want to have fun too. So, having a difficulty slider is a must.

How to implement for online, since I saw that question somewhere in the comments: 1. Let the AI have the hardest difficulty in online races with players; 2. adjust it to the level of one of the players randomly; 3. adjust it to the lowest difficulty that one of the players has 4. just remove them entirely from races with other players (but this one is a pretty bad idea imo).

I use this method when I want to push to a "world record", but holy shit is tedious as fuck not being able to add/remove parts at the race lobby and the need of going back and forth to the workshop, also add the struggle of the gas stations and points of interest not saving so I need to drive half of the map to the race... after doing this like 3 or 4 times I usually give up and go with the automatic tune 😂

[Brandonisbored]

Hi kingdom, i usually love your videos but this video is an L on you.

nobody is complaining about audi tt races D and G is fairly easy. when you get to S and H the AI gets stupid fast. they literally make no mistakes and drive accxording to the raceline.
im a pretty good racer in my humble opinion. and i get my ass handed to me usually in the H races. and believe me i push my bugatti 16.4 as hard as i can. i tune every single car for top speed and acceleration. most players are casual. and me being racing tryhard. i really struggle with this game. this game really has pushed me to my limits like no other game before. is that good ? yes for people looking for a challenge. but for casuals ? these guys get destroyed by the AI. for example. the crown jewel emerald. you have to do it under 12 minutes. and if the AI is using H class cars. as long as you send the car hard. and at least keep up with the top 3 you might get the under 12 minutes secondary task.

At this point its not really a skill issue my man the AI is hard AF. ive played long enough to know. if a hyper car passes me. and he gets out of my map and out of sight they be putting like 20 seconds on me. and youre gonna tell me thats a skill issue ? come on bro. get real for a bit. youre a really good driver. doesnt mean most people are. youd be surprised how many people play racing games. and not know what a racing line. or what hitting the apex is.

This video is a big L. people spent money on this game and they should be able to adjust the difficulty. and the difficulty should reflect on the payment you get at the end. everybody is playing on impossible right now for crumbs. and thats not fun. if the AI is gonna be this hard i want more than 30 grand. reward me for my sweat. this is how the game should be man. choose. the game is called unlimited and its the most limiting game ive ever played. get off your high horse and get real my man.

Also i cant help but notice youre always using the most meta cars. i bought the decenium R8 on the 2nd game of the early access. and i knew right there and then. this car was gonna be abused. everytime i see you play youre always using this car. you SHOULD NEVER advocate for meta cars. its what ruins the game. hope you dont get offended but. this video is a big miss. and out of touch with most players.

If this game didn’t say “Test Drive Unlimited” and had nothing to do with the previous games(it doesn’t anyways) and was called Solar Crown Racing, then not as many people would be complaining.

[firun]

Honestly, I can win 95% of the races using auto setup against the Expert AI without much trouble, but they are just _so_ fast on some races (mostly dry, with long straights). An explanation of how to build a car for lower PRs is very helpful; thank you for that. Also, we need slots to save car configurations for different PRs in.

[TaylorKnew]

The only complaint i have is i can't restart races, have to go back to free roam😂😢

[MetalGamer]

There is a problem with this - every time I go to the workshop and modify my car, the game disconnects me from the lobby. Every. Time. And it's a pain to get back into a stable lobby. So I try to avoid the workshop as much as possible.

[drift_works]

i would 100% agree if this game was called "assetto corsa", unfortunately this game SHOULD BE a tdu game, a fun, pick up and play game, not a skill based hardcore racing game, we should have difficulty settings, thats it for me

[goodieshoes]

It’d be nice if we could swap parts in the pause menu. I go with the automatic tunes just for the convenience of not going back to the workshop.

[MetalGamer]

They need to add PR profiles we can save, then. With so many races, it's a hassle to go back to the workshop before every race to adjust the PR manually.

[Ledshreklin]

I started the game off with the alpina and let me tell you, I was miserable. I grinded until level 12. Then this fucken guy called me a pussy and told me to buy blazablah. I grabbed the Audi tt. And that car alone made me 3 million credits so far.


Also I’m gay

[MCrilly]

I'm doing pretty well at the game. My play time is 1 day and 9 hours and I'm currently on level 38 rep. I've just been maxing my car's out but keeping certain parts and not upgrading them as there seems to be little or no difference. From what I'm taking from this video is that I shouldn't let the game do an auto PR decrease but instead set each car up where I can get a good performance out of the car while keeping a low PR then individually set each driving mode depending on whether I want speed or acceleration for example races where you know you're not gonna go above 150mph. I definitely found this video to be very helpful and very informative. I will admit, I have found the AI in some races to be challenging but not impossible to beat. Thanks for the video, big ups!

[demon-x]

Its funny how i see this vid after struggling on a certain early game race in my mustang. Though i did complete it eventually im just more concerned about other players who would play this more casually be gatekept by unadjustable AI. Honestly, unadjustable AI difficulty and questionable pacing of the AI in certain sections of races are my current concerns. Idk how high the ai difficulty gets but the expert AI is manageable on my end. But i can see more casual players giving up on the game just because they cant progress further because they enforced an increase in difficulty for the AI instead of making it a choice for the players. Yes, skill issue, get good and whatnot, but you can't deny there are players in this game who just wants to complete the game without issue. As for me, at least im still progressing, just had to avoid dealing with the audi tt.

[TheKadirovstas]

we need a few things to fix:
1. i dont like automatic PR fix . we need our 750, 850 PR preset saved so we can load it in options.
lets take a porsche 918 for example when its 900 PR game dont install Turbo and i loose a tone of speed with this antomatic PR.
2. get rid of the music track notification pop up on RADAR. cant see a shit when i drive at 550 km/h.

[joeltavares]

Ty my friend for showing me how to mid max my cars really appreciate it 😄

[pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds]

In the few races against humans that I have got into the humans are better than the Ai.

[galaxia-]

I noticed that, suspension and transmission affect the rating a lot with minimal changes to the overall feel of the car. Good tips. This will absolutely fix most of the issues you may encounter. I still think the difficulty needs to be a setting so its more accessible though. Have it like most others, get more rewards with higher difficulties.

[Jayj]

Payout after all them tries ain't worth it tho smh
