is anyone else having trouble with these races? i seem to have lost just as many as ive won and more often than not if you "just" win a race you gain less points than you lose if you "just" lose a ra...
Super true. How can one beat a 949 Mclaren? And the other problem is, the opponent goes in a "ghost mode", so we are unable to ram it into the wall or whatever. Its really difficult to beat, its okay to have a neck to neck challenge, but the opponent just.....vroommm...is not a challenge.
i can understand the "ghost" races, as those races are in escence a time trial type race and the "ghost" image is to show what/how your opponent raced, ive got issues with the fact that i dont seem to progressing

Same here. Whenever I get close to 2800 SP, I'll somehow lose to anyone with a lower score without even making any mistakes. They either have a ridiculous acceleration or capable of doing a perfect line. In the end I don't find this to be of any difference than the tournament.

@richieluv76 and @vipucho To be honest, I had been waiting for someone to make a thread about "Blackridge Rivals". lol
I don't have trouble winning races in Blackridge Rivals. I may have lost a few races, but I won most of my races.
In fact, the races in Blackridge Rivals are so intense that my heart beats rapidly whenever I do a race there and hoping the game doesn't mess me up. (With cop roadblocks and traffic)
I really like Blackridge Rivals. It brought me so much fun that I hadn't had with the game after so many months.
I really want Multiplayer racing in No Limits though. This isn't Multiplayer racing, but it's the closest we got so far.
The amount of points you gain or lose depends on your opponents SP (Speed Points). The higher the SP, the more SP you win (less SP you lose). The lower the SP, the less SP you win (more SP you lose). It all depends whether the game gives you a higher SP opponent or lower SP opponent.
Oh, and I wouldn't mind if opponents are ghosts in Blackridge Rivals since I'm not really racing them live. However, I do want car contact in actual Multiplayer racing in No Limits (if it ever happens) to add more of a challenge to pass opponents cleanly or to send opponents flying if they're being trolls.
To vipucho, do you really ram real people in Multiplayer races? If so, then prepare to go to heaven if you ever do race me.
By the way, you guys should check out the Top 200 leaderboard in Blackridge Rivals. You'll see a familiar name in there. 👿

@scottfollett My name is partly different, but not by much.
@scottfollett a glitch when it downloaded the ghost data perhaps? how many points did you lose?

Bloody good point my friend.
My game is doing my nut in, every time I start a tournament race my game just goes off????
Good for you, I have the Viper at 960pr and getting done over by the Mercedes GT. What hits me hard is I have 5 mechanic points and when boosted the Viper is at 1001 pr strong but unfortunately it means sh*t. So I don't understand how Blacksh#t ridge works.........
