"Catch Up" AI is totally ruining my gaming experie
"Catch Up" AI is totally ruining my gaming experie
Has anyone figured out how to disable the "catch up" or "rubberbanding" AI? I'm playing Most Wanted.
Every race, it just feels soooo fake...I hate it so much. It makes me feel like I'm playing a game, instead of really racing...and that sucks.
If there is no way to disable it, is there a way to play that minimizes the effect? I know this is a 'arcade' racer, but the rubberbanding is just so artificial.
Is there a racer on the PC that doesn't have this $#**$* rubberbanding?

at least in U2 you could disable it in career. i guess EA thought that with the exotics availalbe in Most Wanted catchup would even the playing field a bit. i just hope they dont do that in carbon, that would suck. it's hard as it is to get a good lead on a winding mountain road. catchup would totally ruin the canyon duel experience.

I just gave the game one more try, and after getting pissed to hell at the nonsensical and totally unrealistic behavior, I uninstalled. Bounty mode was fun for a while, but gets boring unless there are goals...the goals come from career mode which requires me to deal with the fricking idiotic rubberbanding.
I don't have much experience with racers because I usually get nausea/headaches. I guess I'm not used to this common AI behavior.
Sigh...it's a slick game that looked gorgeous on my computer and ran well...and somehow didn't make me nauseous.

It's not that "bad". Most people have no trouble winning the game all the way through even with catch. It's just annoying, not impossible; even nearly, I found that the last three blacklist races with all their race win requirements were cakewaks...first time around took only three times to pass the final pursuit too. Hardest races were somewhere in the middle.
I'm not complaining that it's too hard. At least it's still pretty easy since I was only at #11 blacklist when I uninstalled. The problem is that it's breaking the illusion of 'reality' and immersion for me. I'm constantly yelling 'what the heck?' because the AI does something that isn't realistic...at least realistic within the realm of this little imaginary world.
Anyways, I'm going to try a couple other PC racers (not that many choices, actually)...if those aren't better, then I think I might replay Burnout on console. I don't remember if that series has rubberbanding, but even if it did, that just helps the carnage.
