Re: Traffic Sucks

@JesIsJusSmoove Man you dont have to go flat out all the time, it's alright to release the gass trigger and pull the brake trigger from time to time. If you aren't sure where the traffic is on the narrow roads, slow down a bit until you can confirm which side of the road theyre on. Going around blind corners? Take the safe option, easier to get back up to speed then it is to catch up after a crash. And with the challenges, they're meant to be hard, that's why theyre called challenges. Otherwise, they'd just give you the reward. Daytime is for driving fast, Night is for driving smart. 😉

    @Michael_RushThat's not an option when you're playing against hard CPU during the heat races. It's not an option during most hard races. Why not just have less traffic in those areas? I mean, it IS in the country side and every time I ever visited a country side, there's little to no traffic. Yet, here, the country side has more traffic than the city. 

    Also, that's only half the issue. The other half is dealing with traffic while doing the activities and what not. I've literally had a few cars spawn in on me right at the activities when I was about to complete it screwing me over. Slowing down isn't an option when you're trying to 3 star those activities.

    @Michael_Rush Lmao. I wish I was that lucky. I just spent at least 10 minutes on a long jump because there were always cars right at the jump and it was in a tunnel. The tunnel took time to render so entering, it took a few seconds to see anything as the tunnel was dark and exiting took a few seconds to see anything as it was too bright. All the while, there were a ton of cars. Then it took me another 10 minutes to do the speed traps for a few of em because right when I get to the speed trap, a car either randomly changes lanes, a car spawns right in the way, or too many cars were at the turns.

    I slow down more often when it comes to the hills, but man doing the speed traps and these long jumps suck so much because of the traffic.

    The spawning-right-in-front-of-your-face is a bug IMO and should be fixed. Same as AI running through other AI cars, also a bug and should be fixed.

    But dodging traffic is pretty easy, even with blind corners. The AI pretty much does the same thing every time. If you want it easier, just turn down difficulty. Please don't gimp hard, it's easy enough as it is already.

    And yes, I play on Hard, leveled two crews from 1 to 50 so I've had my share of high heat night races where you need to dodge traffic AND keep the cops off your tail. 😉 

    Learn the lines, there are always places to pass safely, even on blind corners. I have a few simple rules I adhere to and 95% those work perfectly.
