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...

And the other problem is, the opponent goes in a "ghost mode", so we are unable to ram it into the wall or whatever.
Bloody good point my friend.@The RealJony wrote:
@GabeLogan100 I hope you don't really ram real players in Multiplayer races because you would be sent to heaven by me if you do IF Multiplayer races ever do come to No Limits.
If it was Multiplayer versus each other like in any other gaming competition wouldn't that be the point, to hinder your opponents ability to beat you? Or is this the Marquis of Queensbury rules gone crazy....?
Uhh...no.
The point of racing is to see who is the fastest. To see who can finish the race the fastest. That's why you see "First to the finish" every time you do a Blackridge Rival race.
Now, there's a difference between blocking and ramming.
Blocking means you're not letting someone pass you. That's fine as you're forcing your opponent to come up with a different way to pass you or forcing your opponent to wait for a good opportunity to pass you.
Ramming means you're hitting someone and causing them to crash. That's NOT fine as you literally ruined the race for them by causing a drastic change to their speed, direction, or even altitude (if you're a really good rammer like me).
I'll add this in: Trade Paint
Trade Paint is contact with your opponent's car that causes a very small change to their direction (and very little speed loss). This is fine as it makes races a lot more intense whenever people attempt to overtake each other.
I'm more than sure you wouldn't want to get a taste of your own medicine whenever you get rammed by another rammer, especially me when I can send my opponents flying.
To sum up:
Blocking is ok.
Trading paint is ok.
Ramming is NOT ok.
If you want to ram, then ram the AIs. That's what I do whenever I feel like ramming (and to get $500 for each takedown).

As you wish @TheRealJony.
Alright, stick with your SRT Viper GTS.
Your Koenigsegg CCX and Ferrari LaFerrari aren't fast enough for Blackridge Rival races. Those cars need more upgrades to be competitive.
Off-Topic: I won a Blackridge Rivals race against a cheater.
The cheater's car was a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT and had infinite nitrous.
Knowing that I couldn't block or ram the cheater, I just drove like I normally do and won against that scum.
I would have lost if that cheater's car was a Super car or a Hyper car...
These cheaters are so annoying, but it felt good winning a race against a cheater. Just like how I used to win races against cheaters when NFS World was still online.

^^That's right, so therefore EA promotes the ramming as part of competition gameplay! But ill remember not to ram you as you sound so godlike in a car....🤔
