@jin1995x I would have thought my avatar would give it away... lmao

Most of the Swifties are young teenage girls and young ladies.

I'm young, yes.

But I'm not a girl. I'm a guy. 😃

I'm a young guy who is a Swiftie.

And I already have some "Bad Blood" with some people here.

Just in case you don't know what a Swiftie is: What are you Swifty or swiftie

Crews are a good idea. I'l call you if i make one.

Awesome!

I have never been in a crew before, but I do have some decent ideas on how to make a successful crew.

I've played NFS World and there were tons of crews in the game (even though there was no official Crew system in the game).

I've also seen their crew threads and their threads look very impressive to attract people to joining their crew.

Are you on google hangouts?

Unfortunately, no.

I never even heard about Google Hangouts before to be honest. XD

Wow!

Kudos to you!

That's quite an impressive feat. Props to you!

@BossNaija I know it when I see it.

And you just proved me right. You are a talented driver. 😛

Your #3 spot says it all.

Although I'm shocked at how you both managed to upgrade your Ferrari LaFerraris so quick (unless you guys already had installed everything prior to Holiday Season crates being on sale) since I'm still managing to upgrade my Koenigsegg CCX. I still haven't unlocked Tuning for any of my cars yet...

I finished #30 on Blackridge Rivals Season 2. Pretty pathetic.

But at the same time, it was pretty darn good when I managed to place that high on the leaderboard with my 7-Star Ferrari LaFerrari.

I couldn't compete for the #1 spot when all of my cars lack tuning. And that was the reason on how I had a pretty big downfall.

Got match-maked to race both of you and others with tuning that know what they're doing. No chance of winning and had a pretty big SP deductions.

Although I did have quite a few "Race of the Season" during Season 2 though. 👿

I only can post three screenshots at a time though. I'll post them on my next post.

My highest SP was 5906 SP in Season 2 until my opponent destroyed it with their car with superior performance to mine.

I didn't make any mistakes.

They didn't make any mistakes on their run.

I lost.

I only could win I got my opponents' worst runs.

By the way, my challenge should be up shortly. 🙂

Race of the Season 2 #1

I didn't make any mistakes.

My opponent didn't make any mistakes.

However, I took a corner much faster than my opponent and that was the difference between winning or losing.

Wollt ihr eigentlich alle verarschen,man wird um mehr als 300 Punkte zurück versetzt und dann gewinnt mann gegen getunte königsegg und verliert gegen einen mc laren !!!???

So macht EA sich Freunde !!!!

@Spetty1504 @Tunerboy72

Please post in the following board, it is the DE board for NFS:

http://answers.ea.com/t5/Andere-Need-for-Speed-Spiele/bd-p/other-nfs-games-de

I don't need to understand German to know what @Spetty1504 is grumpy about. (I believe that's the mild description of how Spetty is feeling)

Once again, EA/FM take whatever smidgen of fun and excitement we can eek out of BRR, right out of the game, by introducing more and more AI Ghosts with impossibly fast cars that far exceed any kind of PR capability us mere gamers are confined to. (gamers being the generous folk who fund EA/FM) 

Since the start of season 3 my SP has remained around the 4,500 mark because it's impossible to progress. Why you might ask? Well it's very simple... when you start making progress towards 4,600, BRR 'randomly' pits you up against an AI Ghost with 4500 SP in an untuned Koenigsig or even a McLaren ... which should be a cinch to beat in a maxed out CCX fully tuned with 7 spanners and a perfect start, Right?

WRONG!

The AI Ghosts have some 'magic' under the hood that us mere mortals are not privy to. AI Ghost, 'Mikey_M' has a jet engine in his McLaren, because even against my perfect start, I'm sucking on his NOS fumes from the first second, Against my 'perfect run' with a new personal best time, he's already sitting at the clubhouse sipping on a virtual Martini, while I'm finishing up the race!!! ... and I'm 30 to 40 SP down for the privilege!!! WFT? Rinse and repeat and before you know it you're trying to fight your way back up to 4,500 after a few of these UBER AI cars.

I've posted just a few examples below... Note these AI Ghosts are typically way better than my personal best with full tuning.... and they ALWAYS have a lower SP, so that when I lose, I lose BIG.

So much for BRR being a player vs player tournament! It's just a total scam. Currently I'm racing AI Ghosts as much as 30%-40% of the time. They always have a perfect run and finish with the same 'record' time each race, give or take 0.01 of a second occasionally.

What exactly is EA/FM trying to prove or achieve by introducing AI ghosts at the lower SP levels of the game? I can understand introducing them occasionally at the top end of the leader-board when there are few real player ghosts to match against.

Anyway, I'm well past being annoyed by the lack of intelligence, fun and genuine competitiveness in NFSNL.... but seeing @Spetty1504's post, I thought I'd give the English version of what he's on about. I'll just continue playing my 15 annoying BRR races a day for the cash, until I've maxed out all my cars in the garage with black parts.

PS... one BIG hint if you do want to compete in the top 200... get yourself a really slow device like little Jony (i.e an iPod Touch) so that the game slows down to a snails pace and you have all the time in the world to dodge EST's, ramps, roadblocks etc and to pick the perfect line every time. No need to have fast reaction times or figure out what you gonna do in milliseconds... you have all the time in the world!

I figured this out when my lightening fast iPhone 6s Plus had too many apps loaded and slowed NFSNL down to about a 10th of the game's normal speed. I won all five BRR races while sipping my coffee and having a smoke all at the same time. But hey, what's the fun in that, unless you want to swing your charlie around the forum pretending to be a genius racer, when all you are is a loser with a slow device that makes you look like a superstar in the rankings. Personally, I'd hate to play NFSNL or any game at those horribly slow speeds. It would bore me to tears and there would be absolutely no satisfaction beating opponents running on fast devices who are actually being challenged to complete a perfect run.

@jin1995x to be able to tune a car, it needs to be maxed out on black parts. I.e. my CCX is at 1053PR

On a slow device, it doesn't matter whether you use tilt or touch, either way you do not require lightening fast reaction times and have plenty of time to ponder whether to go left or right and weave your way past these irritations with ease.

After playing NFSNL at max speed for over a year, your reactions become so well honed that playing at a 10th or even half the speed, makes winning child's play.

In slow-mo... dodging EST's and all the other obstacles was so easy I actually laughed out loud when I realized how most of the guys at the top are actually getting there. So much for all the back slapping and aggrandizement of NFSNL's so called "Icons"

Personally, I'm a high speed kinda guy and playing a game with 'trainer wheels' attached has absolutely no appeal to me... that's for the little ones.

As for the track... that's Novato Coast Highway Sunset.... it's a Nitrous Run.

@jin1995x I agree with you. An untuned CCX should be able to win, particularly with a perfect start and a perfect run. However, against an AI Ghost, I've even been ahead and followed a perfect line and the McLaren comes screaming past me like I'm looking for parking a third of the way through the track.... and I'm supposedly running at 500kph hitting every nitro strip. Theoretically it should be impossible to catch me.

@jin1995x post some screenshots of races against AI Ghosts. These are screenshots of human ghost opponents.

What device are you running on?

@jin1995x there are many strange anomalies in BRR that defy logic and we know that different devices behave differently in-game and there are other 'mysterious' behaviours that make life difficult for some players and easier for others.

The point of my post was that AI ghosts should not be in BRR... it defeats the object of the game which is to pit your skills up against other players. Further to this, AI Ghosts with unrealistically fast cars in the lower SP ranks simply kills the game for everyone because you're going to lose 30 to 40 SP against these cars each time you race them. I've beaten an AI ghost once in season 3 by a few milliseconds... I should be beating it by 1 or 2 seconds.

@jin1995x agreed, getting better is always the highest priority... it's the reason we play after all. However, there's no joy facing up against AI opponents in a game that's supposed to be against 'human' ghosts. I want to work my way up through the ranks against other players... that's the whole point of BRR. But EA/FM muddy the waters by throwing in AI ghosts at SP levels they do not belong in.

@jin1995x good luck to you too... enjoyed the discussion.
