The final European model year of the Escort was '98. I think the game was a few years old when my uncle gave it to me in '06 or so. Ford Escorts were pretty popular rally cars back then so maybe that's why? I don't know for certain but car games tend to do this a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 It could also be the game developers honoring a legendary car model on its way out. Also, I've found another difference between WRC 8 and 9. In 8 one can only reach experience level 50. You can reach level 60 in 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that in wrc 9 but I thought the difference in level is negligible and when I did play it I found the game was a bit tougher than wrc 8 and you needed to do more to reach a higher experience level.

Family sedan Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 I find 9 easier to play. I guess the improved handling physics make me think that. I laugh whenever I get to a higher series and a woman's voice tells me what to do, but the illustration is of a bearded guy. Just another thing I've noticed.

Family sedan Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 A game glitch that I've noticed is that my penalties aren't displayed in bright enough numbers on the leader board between stages. This gets annoying when I'm trying to beat the objective on penalty times and the number is hard to see. It's a minor grievance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it's not from the screen of the tv you are gaming From, I didn't experience such when I played WRC 9 the penalties were clear enough.

Family sedan Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 I only play my Switch as a handheld. The other figures are in the white letters and numbers like they are supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Nevertheless, this isn't as bad as the glitch I had in WRC 8 where I couldn't access my in game e-mails anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a glitch though, when I got the Nintendo switch OLED version it has a protective covering over the screen which made the resolution to drop and after a few weeks I realized the covering was still on so I pulled it out and the resolution was now much sharper and clearer.

Family sedan Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Yeah, I think I pulled a covering off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should have been able to solve the issue of clarity you are having with the numbers and write ups of the video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks. Next time I receive a penalty I'll check if the letters and numbers are all in the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family sedan Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 I have. The Rally Sweden rules. I'm also good at Portugal. I like Sardinia, but I'm not as good as I used to be there. I've also been devolving in Finland. They changed the stage routes and I like the old ones better. Germany is tough, but it was tough in WRC 8 also. Wales has been good to me, I've improved at it. Another thing that I've noticed is that my car only gets body and lighting damage. Vital systems like the engine and transmission are nearly indestructible in WRC 9. I'll keep you guys informed on more differences between 8 and 9 as they come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But glad to know you are getting along with the Game really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
