Midnight Club LA Gets AI Patch

Kris Erickson • Dec 9, 2008 • Comments ()

The folks at Rockstar emailed us this morning to let us know that a patch is coming for Midlight Club LA. The update is currently available for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of Midnight Club: Los Angeles. The update is inteneded to improve the gameplay balance and AI by adjusting dynamically to user skill level. However, Rockstar have pointed out that the update does not add rubber banding to opponent cars. In fact, the patch is designed to make the game easier for novice players who have complained about the tough level of early races. Opponent cars will now screw up a little more often in green and yellow races, allowing players to progress more easily. Red races will remain dificult as ever.

Rockstar can teak the AI difficulty as much as they want, but multiplayer is where it is at, anyhow. The Xbox 360 update also adds support for additional leaderboards for tournaments on the Rockstar Games Social Club, broader multiplayer match searching, and upgraded streaming and performance.
