AI too hesitant vs AI

For me, the AI in AMS2 is a double-edged sword.

The initial races start off very interestingly, but with each subsequent one, you begin to notice a pattern that runs right through the entire game, from karts to GT3s. Sure, Reiza is working tirelessly on it, but honestly, you can still recognize the DNA from PC2.

It will probably never be truly perfect as long as the content has to keep expanding to fund the game's continued development.

But other simulations aren't much better in that regard. Some might have better physics, etc., but even worse AI. Honestly, I find it hard to have fun in anything other than short, single sprint races. Something always goes wrong—no matter the sim.

 

If you don't already have it, you might enjoy the crew chief add on. You get a guy on pit radio talking to you about what is happening in the race. Some lines repeat (e.g. gaps to cars ahead etc) but there is also quite a long tail of things he says rarely and then surprise you when they come up for the first time. It makes it easier to turn off all the floating HUD nonsense and see the same view a driver rather than a player would see.
