been playing this for a week. just finished the pro/am league. Probably its just me, but the game play is getting very repetitive. And I had the feeling that the dev are trying to screw us up by putting in their version of AI bot.

I noticed the more advanced stages, when the race started, the car (second last) will always try to obstruct you. You sway left or right,  they will follow. And it will happen through out the game. The bot  main purpose is to slow you down. Only way to pass them is to bang them at the cornering section of the track. Then it will do damage to your car. You need money to fix it. And also the dev trying to fool us that upgrading the car will surely wins you a race (assuming you drive with above average skills). I am so wrong by maxing up my BMW. There sure will be other cars that are way faster. Also notice when the bot bang you, it will slow you down but that culprit will just accelerate as if it has a NOS button.

My tricks to win a race. I always start playing in online mode. If after a few tries, the bot are getting to IMBA, i will switch to offline mode. Its different. But never think offline mode is easier, its just different. If you cant win the offline mode, then go online. Thats it. And also bang them if necessary, but dont bang on the rear, it will only slow you down. If they bot trying to push you off the track, slow down. Most of the time, the bot has very strong car, cant out maneuver them.

Love it at first, but now getting tedious and less enjoyful because of the bots.
