getting started with offline season

[Staley24]

hello all, i just nbought brand new element 32'' inch LCD screen and nr2003 season looks great on it, i couldnt be happier. on that note, i want to start an offline championship with the 2009 COT mod. how do i go about creating a season that most resembles the sprint cup format and points system? any opinions will be appreciated. thank you.

You can't. You'd have to calculate everything yourself. Sorry/

yea, i understand that i have to calculate points and everything myself, is that what score 4 is designed to do, and what rating formula is best for nratings? i downloaded the 2009 sprint cup schedule w/ non points events. will the bud shootout and sprint all star race be in my season?

If you do it in game yes, your best bet is to do what I do and do each race in your offline league as a single race in game. After the race is over before you leave the track, you need to export the standings. Name them whatever you want and you can then import them into Score 4. It takes care of everything for you, it even calculates things like rookie of the year points, team points, Race winnings and more.

You can do the chase with it but you will need to do some points editing to do so. when you bring up the results in score 4 you will see a tab that says "adjustments" that's where you add to peoples points that are in "the chase"

ok cool, that sounds easy enough, my only question is this; for your season that you run, do you run the AI at say example, 90% the whole season, or is it different for each race? i would think keeping it the same throughout the whole season would keep it more balanced. What is your opinion?

To be honest my main thing is revamping or pumping up the driver aggression especially for certain races (ie. Daytona 500, etc) 90% sounds good to me. I would say if you want though go to each driver and pump up their driver aggression only keep it the same for them all. I have raced against AI after doing this and to be honest it can get ugly, it's like I'm racing against someone else at times.

i never thought of making them more aggresive, that sounds like it would be alot of fun. Does this in anyway change their driving style as in what line they run around the track, like right up against the wall?
