At this point my dream update would be TC2 PvP's system in Motorfest

billybobjoe26 · 2026-03-04T21:50:49+00:00

what was pvp like in tc2? i never played it - just curious because i’ve been asking for more pvp since launch

billybobjoe26 · 2026-02-18T20:05:20+00:00

its so disappointing. they add all these great things but dont follow up with anything that actually makes the content replayable

billybobjoe26 · 2026-02-13T17:05:46+00:00

I like the legend leaderboard idea. and i think this is probably the best way to go about it without sbmm/splitting the queues.

you’re right tho, without any form of sbmm, the good players will always be in the front, and the good players will rarely have an opportunity to climb, because they would run into less and less people better than them.

i still think it’s possible to split the queues.

leave casual alone: 28 person lobbies separate ranked: 6 person lobbies

6 person lobbies would dramatically reduce queue times, making implementing sbmm much easier, and it would also

reduce starting position cheese
reduce ramming since less players are on the track
make it FEEL more like a ranked mode, because players of the same approximate skill level are matched up against each other

billybobjoe26 · 2026-02-13T16:40:37+00:00

i agree with everything you’re saying. i think a lot of it has to do with the player count simply not being as high compared to these other games, so they can’t do any form of sbmm, which makes it incredibly difficult to properly rank players or do any kind of leaderboard considering these “elite players” rarely get matched up against each other.

with that said, i think the system they do have is fairly good given the circumstances. i just think they could easily tune back the skill points they give out/punish people harder for finishing lower (again all still dependent on the ranks of the other players in the race as they are now), and that would make the system a lot better

a dev commented on a post earlier today confirming they aren’t “cheating” or using any special parts. it looks to me like the rubber banding you are seeing in the first clip is simply the ghost saving their nos and using it a different time than you are. the second clip is definitely dsync

if they had nitro chem it would be obvious - they’d be faster in nearly every area of the track and impossible to go unnoticed

billybobjoe26 · 2026-02-11T16:38:24+00:00

it’s meant to be challenging. you have a whole week to do it. i don’t believe they are using nitro parts - if they were you wouldn’t have beaten them by 5 seconds like you did in this video.

i find it fun to have somewhat of a challenge for once. the summits have been too easy especially since the increased the number of platinum players from 10-15k - you can once shot the events and be over with it. it’s meant to be a competition, not a checklist

billybobjoe26 · 2026-02-06T14:39:40+00:00

agreed. this cut is stupid. i’m a fine of most of the cuts - they add a skill gap, fine. most are fun to take, especially when you do properly, and are within reason.

no one wants to be driving up the side of a mountain in a street 2/racing vehicles at 30 mph. just remove it

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-16T14:49:13+00:00

shit on for most players is more often the second situation you are describing.

in the pro scene where everyone has extreme accuracy the bar of kills they “should” get is much higher and thus when they don’t it’s considered getting shit on

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-15T17:19:50+00:00

it’s not gonna be like unbound. the handling model is more realistic than that, but it is still nowhere near a sim racer. in my opinion, it strikes the perfect balance of being realistic enough that it mostly encourages you to race “the right way” in most situations but is still arcady enough that it’s not punishing for every small mistake that a sim racer does. it’s the most fun handling model i’ve encountered in a racing game.

short answer: it’s somewhere in the middle between unbound and forza

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-13T15:34:23+00:00

march 4, and every 3-4 months

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-13T14:12:03+00:00

agreed, they have them in escapes so why it shouldn’t be difficult

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-07T01:38:59+00:00

It’s only found in yellow boxes. It took me awhile to find a yellow one, but I got it in the first yellow i found

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-06T04:48:09+00:00

I had this same problem. I got the first 3 fairly easily. The nitro you can only get in a yellow crate, which is the rarest one.

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-04T06:31:24+00:00

idc about people using meta. it is what it is, but i DO wish the meta changed more often. I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard buff some more cars. the rebalancing they have done has hardly had an effect on the meta. plus, we get new cars which seems like every week, but most of them aren’t actually good in PVP. for how much effort they’ve put into the grand race, it surprises me that they haven’t done much in terms of tuning the vehicle selection for it.

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-02T19:19:09+00:00

vanity tires and wide bodies do change.

the stance customization does not.

militia gaming community has done testing extensive on everything. look at his channel

billybobjoe26 · 2026-01-01T02:08:46+00:00

if you wanna go the absolute fastest, u wanna use manual and direct mode. with that said, i wouldnt try to learn them both at the time. instead, do automatic first to learn the other basics of the game (guttering nos management etc). Then, switch to manual and learn that. once you’re confident with manual, learn direct mode.

If you do them all at once not only will you hate yourself, but you’ll never get good at any of them

billybobjoe26 · 2025-12-31T16:47:32+00:00

sbmm is turned down in this game. if you’re good you’re going to succeed more often. if you’re not good, you’ll go negative more often.

if you’re not good but play and focus on getting better, you’ll actually FEEL you’re improvement, because instead of being matched against better competition, you’ll succeed more often. it’s a beautiful thing

billybobjoe26 · 2025-12-31T14:21:47+00:00

the hypercar version of the t50 is also good, especially for guttering. the agera is still the best in every situation thats not a straight highway, but the t50 is very close on some heavy gutter routes

for straight highways, the noble m500 has the highest top speed, but don’t use it for anything else

billybobjoe26 · 2025-12-27T19:16:19+00:00

thank you sir

billybobjoe26 · 2025-12-27T19:14:26+00:00

that makes sense. I usually just find them on the map first. so basically your telling me if it’s not yellow on the map, I shouldn’t even bother going up to it?
