I'm starting to learn that the AI in NFS Unbound is pretty bullshit. I started playing the game on Easy just so I could learn how it feels and I've never been able to increase it because I'm getting 2nd or 3rd place pretty often. Even when I'm racing really well, I'll have someone right on my ass who is able to overtake me and then they're gone. And this is on EASY mode.
Right now I can't get above 4th in a race even when I'm playing near perfectly and have a better car than any of the other drivers. It's just pretty much impossible to keep up with these racers, they don't make any mistakes and seem way faster than me even when I'm using NOS.
Might have to retire this one... But I'm pretty close to the end so I want to try seeing it out. It's just starting to get frustrating. Feels like it's based on luck at this point, on whether they'll hit some traffic that spawned in front of them or not.
