blackridge rivals
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...

Rivals is tough and takes some getting used to... pretty annoying a lot of the time, particularly when it's almost impossible to see where the cop cars are parked in blockades before it's too late. Problem is you only get one pass at the race, so you can't 'retry', which would allow you to map out where the gaps are between cop cars and improve your times.
Very little information is given about how Blackridge Rivals works. Would be great if EA explained the rules of engagement better and how the scoring works. Are you supposed to pick the fasted car in your garage, or does the even adjust according to the car you select?
I was hoping blackridge would give us an opportunity to drive whichever car we want and then compete against the same cars or class of cars. Gets a bit much only driving the CCX... much prefer my McLaren, Lambo or Pagani. If the mechanics of blackridge were explained better, there wouldn't be so much confusion about how it actually works.
Why aren't they publishing what the 'rewards' are? Or are they still deciding?
It's a preseason event so I'd say they are working out the bugs...the CCX is by far the best car for this event for 1 reason...previously maxed out CCX's now can be upgraded and 70 BP's means another 8-11 PR. I think that's why u could buy 40 BP's for 140 bucks! Just don't buy any tickets and focus on upgrading the CCX and try and remember the courses bc they do not change!
Hi there,
I thought there might be quite an uproar during and after the weekend, and how right I was 😃
Same issues with Blackridge Rivals here, namely:
- many different ( = unknown) races, sometimes with too much bells and whistles (like night, airborne race and ESF alltogether? How can one actually try anything in 20sec race?)
- perfect start is a must, otherwise you can only get lucky if opponent errs, as you cannot draft nor ram him
Basically, I see it as a coin toss, I like those races, though they may get frustrating very often. But so what? I don't care much about the leaderboard, you get daily award for completing three races, so you don't need to win them, and after an hour there is another ticket ;-) And there is no other place in the game where you see all your mistakes that clearly (and painfully).
