PS4 Bugs & errors found on PS4

I'm playing AC on PS4 since few months and, despite I was so happy to start playing this game, I found out many bugs/errors/topics
I’m playing with joystick and the following are just remarks coming from my personal experience and expectations

- The AI difficulty is not properly modelled (even after patch 1.12 download). I have played other racing sims on console (GT, Forza, Project Cars etc) and I honestly think myself as an average gamer on joypad. I played almost 60% of this game in easy/medium settings, considering that I had enjoyed the most Forza 4 with difficult settings, this is quite frustrating to me…

- Moreover, AI difficult is not fairly balanced. In carrer mode, car in front of you will never loose time or make any kind of errors, while on the other hand, cars in the back are so “shy” to attempt an overtake…feels like I’m gonna race alone…

- Lastly AI can be improved a lot. After race start cars brakes in the full-throttle straight road, cars brake after complete corner and (for example in Monza circuit) in the arrival line in case of two or more cars chasing

- Career mode is heavily boring. I’ve completed 60% of the game, career can be resumed with the following statement: 6 (six!) tracks and 10 (ten!!) cars. No possibility to choose the car, No way to skip championship, No races variety

- Suggested trajectory: it is simply wrong, no other words to describe it…suggestion made you brake lot in advance compared to track, I used it only in one race and then I started familiarized with the track, but c’mon…do something and do it fine, otherwise don’t do it!

- Crashes are badly modelled. I saw flying cars, my car disappears under the asphalt, cars spinning in various and random ways…

- Oil effect. Corners and escape lane seems covered with oil, car begins to oversteering in a very unpredictable and unpleasant way

- Diesel-effect on high performance car. Cars acceleration sometimes seems sleepy…bad feeling given to the player of a performance car acceleration...

- Overheating of front wheels. Even with rear traction cars, I was not able to overheat rear wheels, but only steering ones, maybe I’ve to practice myself….this is mainly due to proportional steering seetting that, in my opinion, is really difficult to handle properely on joystick....
This statement is easily observable on front wheels drive cars or SUVs (for example on Maserati Levante)

- Load transfer and high sensible steering. These 2 things combined together with joypad made me try to better scale steering input (failed) and to switch off PS4 at the same time

- Funny bug in career mode, Qualify session with Tatuus FA01 championship, Silverstone track. After few laps I skipped qualify session, my best lap was 2.09.395. At race start I was 10/10 with pole position driver at 2.09.329 Is this a joke????

- Do I really need 12 or more settings on traction control system?? maybe 3 working settings like on, half, off are just fine??

- Pit stop badly modelled…I have to select Start button to access to pit stop and drive at the same time (????) why I can’t just enter in “pit stop mode” simply driving into pit box lane?…Additionally there’re no person/mechanics involved in pit stop (it reminds me Gran turismo 3 on PS2) and either lollypop man is a “ghost”…

- Lot of people commented this issue, but is really frustating...why after each race I have to waste minutes to wait arrival of all the other drivers??

I guess this game has a huge potentials, but actually is designed for steering-wheel players with a lot of time to practice on it. Since I'm not this kind of player I'm gonna sell my AC copy.
Kunos please try to improve and fix it all, thanks

 

The ai should be more difficult then forza. Yes this gane is made to use a wheel. The traction control settings mirror those on the actual race cars... learn a bit about racing before complaining about a racing simulator. Who needs animated pit stops either? Pcars2 has them but i gave up on that game on day one because compared to assetto, it feels like ****.
