As a PS4 player with only UK content, I have multiple routes with multiple services where it is currently not possible to achieve the gold medal score. I was wondering if anyone else knows if any progress has been made on recalibration of the relevant scores to make the gold medals achievable?
A little while ago Matt said they'd identified the problem, but were stuck on a solution - ie should they change all the thresholds historically and potentially mess up existing medals, or just going forwards, or whatever. Personally, I think it's pretty clear they need to find a system that retrofits proper scores onto all previous content but doesn't wipe people's progress.
They apparently have figured out the issue but I don't think any progress was made as they need to do something to the system that does the gold medals which is what I believe Matt said on stream.
Agreed a fix which doesn't retrospectively apply the correct medal is no fix at all. Especially as in journey mode even if you go back and replay it Nevers updates the medal.
I'm not sure this is accurate. Because I am certain that I was able to turn a silver medal to a gold medal by replaying a journey mode service. It may not report it at the end of the run, true, but what matters is that the Journey gets the gold medal after all.
This only applies in limited cases, the majority are set to a point where, regardless of how perfectly you drive, gold scores are unobtainable.
I am aware of the unobtainable medals. The point I made is about the ability to improve a medal in Journey Mode. There is a well known workaround for the services where a perfect drive comes up a few points short of the Gold medal score: just find a place to drive under the speed limit, and collect the additional points. Yes, not a proper solution, but a workaround for the so inclined.
They’ve made minor tweaks in the past. Not many. When they did my current score was changed to gold from not gold.
I’m probably wrong, but shouldn’t it just be as simple as lower some of the thresholds, thus resulting in the game recognising you didn’t get bronze but gold and update to reflect that. I’m guessing probably the issue is that the game just wouldn’t recognise that.
Manually selecting a viable score was my thought but would require the affected services/scenarios being changed one at a time. Time consuming but I can't foresee any problems.
