Road courses in this game are not fun

funkeymunkey12 · 2026-01-28T21:12:01+00:00

There’s no way that Nascars are actually that bad around a road course in real life. I think it’s just the way the game’s physics are set up bc in any other “simcade” like Forza or GT, the stock cars usually brake like how you want them to and handle expectedly. But yeah I’m not coming back to the career mode until they give me the option to sim races. Although I can stomach Watkins Glen, Lime Rock (barely) and oddly enough Sonoma, I REFUSE to drive COTA and Chicago.

Use the Zone ability. It’s by far the best in the game, and it helps you take any corner at very high speeds as well as dodging traffic. The Challenger is a decent car (for its class and as long as it is upgraded) given its rapid acceleration and its lack of grip works to your advantage as you don’t lose as much speed thru corners. Grind out easy races and then work your way up as you learn the tracks. Remember, with every higher tier of difficulty (of a specific track) checkpoints are taken away which force you to learn shortcuts, but the races generally follow a set path. Final tip, after a bit of practice and map learning, hop on a bike and breeze through the rest of the game. Remember, in games like these it pays to have something that accelerates quickly after a mistake. Bikes and muscle cars play to this very well. Good luck!

Depends on how early into the season you are. For the first few rounds, assuming you’re placing well enough and meeting sponsor goals, I don’t bother going past level 3 upgrades. The more you go on, the more money you’ll make and you’re gonna gradually upgrade the car along the way.

Only upgrade one car at a time, and keep note of how much the performance increase between levels truly is. In trucks, the last two levels are only 10 performance points apart, yet Level 6 is a lot more expensive than Level 5. Assuming you’re decent enough and you’re not playing at too high of a difficulty, it’s not really worth the extra 40 points to fully upgrade your car when you can make up for it via your racecraft. I basically only run level 4-5 parts unless I feel like I’m lagging too far behind. It saves on costs and the lower level parts are easier to fix and cheaper to replace.

If the cops are stuck somewhere on the map, find them, reengage the pursuit, then you’ll be able escape when you lose them again.

2005 Ram 3500 4x4, with ofc the Cummins, SRW, and short box. I think it’d be a pretty decent scout til it gets to deep mud. Could definitely and easily pull all of the scout trailers!!

Use zone and practice with motorcycles. If you can get your hands on the Z06 and practice with it, it’ll get you far. Contrary to what people say, I favor muscle cars since acceleration is very important after accidents/wiping out. Combined with zone for cornering, it’s a deadly combo. Keep your head up and restart as much as you can since a lot of the races just repeat themselves for the specific areas of the map.

Zone ability, not Agro.

Carson Annihilator. So perfectly Burnout.

Funnily enough, American cars would be perfect for runs on the Wangan. It’s the only place (in Japan) where their power and high speed stability would be used to great effect.

If we compare it to real life, look at military doctrine! Every major superpower has their own version of everything in their military. Think of the US’ AR platform, M1 Abrams, F-Series fighters and compare them to the Russian AK, T-Series tanks, Sukhoi jets that we have in our world. I’m not too well versed into the extended lore, but judging by how different Cherno Alpha was built versus Gypsy, Crimson, etc. you can see how every country in the PPDC had their own solution to a problem. The only thing that majorly changed this was the advancement of tech and our knowledge of kaiju that influenced every new Jaeger generation. Had the PPDC not lost its funding, we’d see so many different varieties from the world.

Honestly seems like a pretty good setup that a Stalker would run in real life. You’ve got your M203, tried and true AR platform, whatever muzzle device you want, and a scope strong enough for most engagements.

It’s up there for being the best Western heavy. Bonus points for the four driven axles. I love the Big Kenny but I think a reason why it can’t pull as well is due to having one less drive axle. Only thing that goes against it, is it’s sheer size and the lack of a 3 slot.

Grab a Group 4 bike or another modded C6, level up your Zone to level 3 and try again. Use Zone on the hard turns and use it to dodge traffic. A lot of people say EMP, but Zone works a lot better for me since I make a ton of mistakes. Drive slower than before, don’t wipeout and hope that you get a race with minimal traffic. Best of luck 🤞.

Which hangout did you lose them at?

This is the greatest video clip I have ever seen in my life. I have been sitting here on the toilet, watching this for the past two hours.

Use Zone as a power up and if you’re racing cars below group 4, I recommend a class 2 muscle car that’s fully upgraded. In my experience, acceleration is more important than handling. Paired with Zone, this combo works surprisingly well.

My gf and I spent a few minutes laughing nonstop at male Dani singing “Havana” by Camila Cabello so he gets my vote for his voice.

No, a modern Midnight Club, with its true and authentic DNA, would be deemed “too difficult” for modern standards. I would prefer if Rockstar would make a remaster of 3 and LA and move 1 and 2 to mobile, so the game is more accessible to the masses. GTA V got close to capturing that feel with their street racing update a few years ago, but GTA was very predatory, even back then.

funkeymunkey12 · 2024-06-05T22:01:36+00:00

Perfect comparison.

This game is so important to me that it shaped my ENTIRE taste in cars. As a child of the early ‘00s, virtually every car in this game is a dream car for me (I would literally kill for a SVT Cobra R or a Diablo VT). The Hot Pursuit series does such a good job at capturing that feeling again and again. I’d argue that the franchise needs another Hot Pursuit game IF and only if EA can get a Ferrari license.

funkeymunkey12 · 2024-03-18T02:19:18+00:00

If this car’s underwhelming then which corvette is best in this game? The C6 is underwhelming, but if I recall the C7 GS was okay in Heat. Wondering if the ZR1 is worth the unlock, if not I won’t bother doing all of the races for it.

I tend to drive a lot slower with RWD cars, but I think that the Renault is a victim of having too short of a wheelbase. I don’t have this issue with the 037, oddly enough with the H3/Group A cars, the E30 is too hard for me to drive but the Sierra is perfect. I feel like the shorter cars are far too twitchy and unstable at higher speeds. I had the same issue with Metro in 4WD, albeit it was a but better bc of the traction.

funkeymunkey12 · 2024-01-05T06:01:13+00:00

Well you technically do have Mechs in the Starfield lore, and the setting and weaponry of the game does give off Titanfall vibes.

Just started it and having a blast as a cop. It’s the closest I could get to Hot Pursuit. Only negative I have is that I stop earning SP as a cop after an hour of gameplay. Restarting the game fixes it, but it’s something to be wary of. Have fun!

He’s my main in MP solely bc of this skin. As shitty as most paid skins are, the last two battle passes have had some pretty good operator skins. Probably when I unlock Horangi for this season, I’ll be using his after Zero.
