(note: before this gets locked, I looked on the GT2 Reference Guide Thread: Nothing about this. so you know....)
Well, in excitement of amar212's "Fiest (insert reference to Flyleaf's I'm So [Sic]k here) of the Gods" tease in The GT5 thread, I decided to go back and play me a little GT2. I have a save game and I was switching back and forth in arcade mode between my home garage, a (tuned) '95 Corvette ZR-1 and a (tiny bit more tuned) skyline GT-R V-spec, ripping runs. then I decided to pop in the simulation disc and earn some more bread in the event generator.
I jumped in the skyline, picked normal, and away I went. I thought my first race i was going to blow the field out of the water.
then came the bell.
I thought to myself, man, for the AI being (allegedly) Crappy, they are sure giving me a fight.
at the end I placed fifth. Fifth.
as you can imagine, it just got worse from there.
third. Fourth. Fifth. even Sixth a couple times.
I didn't even finish second until my sixth or seventh race (I may be wrong; I lost count after one).
finally I won one on Normal on my tenth (again, educated guess here) at red rock Valley. but i noticed something on the end of the first lap. i crossed the line first, but i pushed the look behind you button I noticed the rest of the field had almost a full second from the time we reached the main straightway until the S/F line
I Thought one thing: Catch-up effect. not as bad as Ford vs. Chevy (the CUE was so bad in that game that I took it back the next day. worst $10 I have ever spent on anything in my entire life), but still
so, did the same thing happen to you when you where playing EG. tell me your stories!
