Trying Career Mode On Assetto Corsa Competizione For The First Time

[@grahamhill4113]

They should have made the career mode like a beginner's guide. So interaction with engineers about tyre temps, how to set up the car etc would become easier when you want to get more into the game. There's nothing intuitive about how the game works at the moment

[@rankisdumb214]

For the average player doing career mode can be a good way to learn how to play the game. Also you can receive Drive thru penalties, DQs for speeding into the pit lane or out and stop and go penalties. For someone who's a world class sim racer it's going to be easy of course. If you want a real challenge do brands hatch at 100% AI and 100% Aggression. Start from the back and see if you can get first. Also career mode has a 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hour races lol.

Nice video. Tried Career at the start when i bought the game but after a few races i dropped it. It is not immersive and to me the selling poit of ACC is the fact that i can boot it up and be in a multiplayer race a few minutes later with the best GT3and GT4 sim available :D

[@DiViNiTY1337]

You're driving the Huracan Supertrofeo, not the Huracan GT3, in the first "young driver test". The Supertrofeo is much slower than a GT3 car, a 49-50 on Monza is a decent time so don't even sweat it. :)

[@jasmijnariel]

Zolder is my hometown, i am at the track a lot. I guess i grew up at the track cause my dad raced in the 70s and 80s. The 1st corner isnt realistic, the real corner leans to the outside a lot

[@mrbreede]

Honestly if they were to release ACC 2 it would be cool to do it 2 options: 1 is pro racer where a manufacturer hires you, or 2 you go as a privateer where you manage the team and you see what all is involved in a gt3 race. Management cost logistic upgrades and so on.

[@Worther12]

As a 'steady' off-line only guy, I was disappointed in the career mode also. I've mainly been doing practice sessions and single races. I've only recently tried the Championship mode, and I think it's loads better than the career. You can have 2018/19 Blancpain series, or Euro GT4, British Championship or fully custom championship. Being able to set AI, and the weather is a huge bonus for ppl like me (steady), and although I'll never rip up and trees, I enjoy it immensely. Watching you race has me slamming the non existent brakes on in my living room! 🤣🤣🤣💯👍

[@MattSwain1]

I think career mode in a game like ACC is a bit of a box ticking exercise, other games have so ACC must too. It’s never going to be much of thing when the entire game is built around a single series (yes I know there’s GT4 DLC) so there’s no progression. Not all of us want to race online… I don’t have the spare time to get good enough to make online races enjoyable but I think I’ll be sticking to custom single player races for the time being

[@TzeiEm]

I'm a total newbie in sim racing, just bought my first ever wheel and this game and after a few hours of practise I can pretty consistently finish a race in Monza (the only track I know how to drive at least somewhat). My alltime best lap time is 1.52.3s so still ~5 seconds off the pace and would love to tinker with the car setup, but I have absolutely 0 experience and knowledge of what any of the stuff means, so it would be pretty nice if career mode taught you not only the tracks and how to drive but also how to setup your car.

[@ThaJay]

I get what you mean but meta setups for online will never be the same as real world engineering. I'd say just get the 3 stars on the tracks you like and hop on online. Focus on being clean and a gentleman. Once you're comfortable with avoiding the first corner pile up your driving will improve massively and it's a lot of fun driving with other players. There will always be some person getting mad but that only means they're not having fun so just best avoid them and not engage. Check out some recent setup tutorials on youtube and try to put your hot tire pressures at 26,7psi. Adjust them before every race.

[@paulg7002]

Great video. I am a beginner sim racer. I have been doing career mode in AC and ACC. I like them both but I think AC might be better because the power of cars gradually build and the handling is very different in each. I do like the idea of being safe in ACC. I guess I am happy because ignorance is bliss. Overall, happy to be starting sim racing. I also like that there isn't all that story junk like Forza Motorsport.

Career mode has always just seemed a bit weird. The very first session is alright at introducing you to the game, but beyond that it's like 'why wouldn't I just play Single Player or Championship?'

[@MartinVRS41]

Kunos missed an opportunity with this. They could have made a race school/special events instead of this. Say 50 events that show you what the game is about. Car setups, the aero setup that is an important part of the game, tyre management, strategy managment, how to drive in wet but drying conditions, etc. Something similar to the driving school in GTR 2 or the licence tests in GT. It could have helped my biggest issue with the game ,that is it doesn't tell you anything. Every time I get deeper into setups I have to Google stuff for minutes, cause for example descriptions of the ECU maps and brake disc sets are not in the game even though the setup screen has a description box. I've been playing since early access, so I know what to look for, but If someone would like to get into the game now, they wouldn't have a clue how to properly setup the car, or that they need MoTec to tune the dampers, unless they watch 30+ hours of Aris Drives. This game needs a manual.

[@maineiacial]

Hahaha try playing on ps4 lol

[@legendarycheekymonkey]

I bought the game and played it for the first time last year and I jumped straight into career. It feels like a tutorial to me, it gave me a chance to get used to the schedule of races and stuff. I think it's aimed at beginners as a warm up to the game. I'd rather make mistakes in the pits in this mode than a competitive lobby. It gets longer as you go and I've done a few endurance races but I ended up not going back to it as like you said the AI is a bit weak and it's not much of a challenge. Good way to get used to tyre wear, fuel and pitstops though so it has its uses I guess.

For those of us who wouldn't be good in a real race car I imagine our opinion and perspective of career mode is substantially different than yours.

[@Freshd1995]

I think the main Problem with the Career mode ist that the name gives you the wrong expectations in terms of the depth of the experience. The way I see it it is more or less a long tutorial aimed at people who didn´t do a lot of any simracing before. As someone who is shit at the game i felt like it was/is supposed to give me a framework of how to approach learning to drive and give me some trackknowledge as well as getting me used to having others cars on the track, without ruining other peoples races in Quickjoin. Granted a good part of that comes from starting career so that i was simultaniously unlocking the different ratings. Having the game explain setups would certainly be a cool thing, that could have at least been in included in higher difficulties. As to the strength of the AI i think you are setting unfair expectations. In multiplayer focused games the AI modes are usually completely beneath actual competitive levels. They are training dummies. As such i think having them be a second slower than a professional is reasonable. But yeah an actual solo player experience would be nice. Maybe at some point in the future they´ll hire some people to make that. I wouldn´t necesserily want them to take the time from developing mulyplayer relevant things. Hope this doesn´t come across as to appologetic. Your critique is quite valid. Especially from your perspective but also generally the career mode just doesn´t rise to the exectations it sets with the way it is presented. TLDR: Carreer mode is a bit mislabled. It´s acually a tutorial that could be a bit more fleshed out. An acual singleplayer experience would be cool if it doesn´t take ressources from multyplayer development.

[@mrj3217]

I am in a career mode but I am clue less about how long my tires should last. I do like 40 min races.

Depends on what settings you have. On beginner theres no tyre wear. When you hit the pause button it will show you how much tread is left on your tires. Starting at 3.0 millimeters of tread you should pit around 1.5mm iirc. Check for temps to be within 10 degrees from outer to inner. You can also check for over/under inflation. The top of the front tyre will be higher or lower than the outside ones and the bottom of the rear will be similar.
