I'm also trying to ride BRR for fun and it is really hard, but opponents matching sucks at all. EA/FM didn't work on it enough or not. It cause me, and I see not only me, frustrated.

I submitted requests to FM, however each of them was marked as solved with comments like it is not an issue - I'm double frustrated.

I'm racing 997 Pagani (8-star, parts black, without scanners only) and matched with any Viper, 650S, Aventador, CCX, LaFerrari, no matter if tuned or not, the win is the matter of 100% luck or EA/FM intent to make me angry = wrong opponent matching.

The only reason to race BRR is to farm cash and that's is all.

There is no more and probably will never be any other benefit. I didn't receive anything at the end of S1 and S2 being Icon II. Sorry - I receive, demote to Icon I. ;|

This is the most unfair and ridiculous event ever made by EA/FM in history.

One more week to go.

I'm only missing one (Just one!!!) Engine Scanner to max out my CCX after farming this week. D:

My LF was at 4 stars, been playing since Day 1, stopped midway for many mths , where i missed a couple of LF Bps.

Wow!

Good to see another veteran player playing (and still playing) No Limits from the very beginning like me. 🙂

What brought you back to No Limits? Was it the implementation of Blackridge Rivals?

@CMBosss wrote:
No biggie in maxing it from 4 to 8 for what i love, thats just me 😉

Good to see you actually like the Ferrari LaFerrari itself and it being the best car in the game is a bonus for you. :eahigh_file:

It's a waste of Gold to buy blueprints of a car someone doesn't like, but buys it for the sake of winning.

Almost all my cars are maxed , and i have an unfair advantage

Alright, I got to ask.

What's your VIP Level?

i have 8 tuning , so once am in my A game ( where my kids dont topple me when am dodging some stuff in HeatSeekr lol ) , only Jin and Starfish can give me a run for my money ..... i await ur Ccx to know whether i can put u up there 😜😜😜.... 2 more wks but I trust you, ur times are impeccable in Lf so i can only imagine .... Kudos again

Well, I don't think I can give you a run for your money when my CCX's performance is inferior to your LaFerrari's performance. But I can tail you from behind to pressure you to making mistakes. 👿

That is if you do get one of my best runs.

I got matchmaked with you at Novato Bay Avenue at night (Leapfrog Rush). I had no chance at winning against your Tuned Ferrari LaFerrari. D:

I finished all blackridge spirit events, starting from golf uptil lancer.

@jin1995x You missed the first set of Blackridge Spirit special events though.

Were you playing No Limits at the time? Or did you actually miss the first set of Blackridge Spirit special events?

First set had Toyota 86, Mazda RX-7 FD3S, Ford Mustang GT, and BMW M4 F82 (stock) as the required cars.

It took me quite a while to come up with a user name. I want it to be perfect. lol 😃

My user name is "Jony TheSwiftie".

@jin1995x wrote:
Yeah good luck. Hope to race your ccx.

I really hope you get one of my best runs for fluff sake. lol

I got matchmaked with you at Blackridge Strip at day (Vice-Force Run). I had no chance at winning against your Tuned Ferrari LaFerrari. D:

@jin1995x wrote:
Nice times with your laf on the tracks.

Thanks!

Even though the dev under the name "Trippa" has a higher SP score, I find the dev under the name "Sequal" is a lot tougher to beat with a time of 19.23 seconds. I had to have a Perfect Launch or it's gg for me.

For the other two devs ("Trippa" and "Shwa"), I can win against them with a Good Launch. lol

@jin1995x wrote:
i have time, money and skill all of it lol. Though i never played much my average playttime in a year is just 40 mins a day, which again was due to the early grinding days. After race skips its not more than 20 mins a day in most cases.

Wow!!!

How the fluff do you have time and money?!?

I'm so jelly!!! 😬

@THEJAJO More like 50% skill and 50% luck.

50% skill is from your driving skills.

50% luck is from traffic sync and police roadblock sync.

Sometimes traffic sync and police roadblock sync are broken and it means your opponents could go through traffic with no speed loss or you see no roadblock on your screen.

Not only that, but you get fame from racing in Blackridge Rivals. 😉

Aside from daily Cash rewards from completing Blackridge Rivals races, there's no rewards for placing high on the leaderboard in Blackridge Rivals.

@TheRealJony i cant find you in hangouts, my id is. 'Jin 1995'. Yes i missed the first blackridge.wasn't playing.

well on vice against me you had less chances even with a tuned laf. 37.2/3 is my average time i have done plenty 36's there. It's my favourite track. Infact on all esf tracks i have some crazy times.

@TheRealJony Sorry, but I can't agree with you, that the win is the 50/50 matter of luck/skill, as when you have perfect everything, super race line, probably better car than opponent, etc. the wrong opponent match ruin it which mean you have to be lucky and opponent must crash or something else.

The fame is not the benefit for me, if there is no reward (in cash, parts, materials, gold). The ridiculous move from EA/FM is putting sponsors in BRR which mislead us there is some reward at the end of season. Sorry, new players, I am not mislead as I know EA greed.

@TheRealJony

I'm actually quite busy, i have kids to take care of but what i try to do is, set out an hour or two and see what i can do , problem with that is focus isnt always there all the time especially with kiddies turning my life upside down lol.....

Will wait for ur ccx run am actually tired presently, played 100 races and got 20sp

Been playing NFS before u were born i presume since ur 22 ..... lol

I got fed up when they didnt allow my beloved amg GT finish the game but came back a few times and got the viper but wasnt passionate again until i found reddit way before BRR sometime in august last year

I'm Vip 10, reharding novato, except i choose to, its impossible to beat my time, only like 3 people i know have micro seconds ahead of me on those tracks and u know u cant be ur best daily, but i can do 17 on leap , 25 beach and 24 on spark anyday, difference will be the micro seconds but its always tiring when ur getting only 0sp

I may not even push again, I am Tired..... many people seem to have issues with BOT developers , i always say tune from garage, tuning from brr doesnt work

I defeated all my bots and used them to climb quickly , they helped with some practise runs , if people tune from garage and race d bots, they will see they r just normal cars not tuned in anyway....

@jin1995x Alright, what's your time zone?

My time zone is Eastern time (EST or EDT).

I don't want to send you a message when you're sleeping and causing you to wake up by my message. 😃

I can never beat your best times due to your Ferrari LaFerrari's OP acceleration. 😃

But I'll be sure to set a good time on Blackridge Strip at day (Vice-Force Run) with my Koenigsegg CCX.

By the way, Blackridge Strip in general is my favourite track. 🙂

@jin1995x wrote:

Wow!

List some of your best times on those tracks with ESFs (if you still remember them).

@THEJAJO That would either mean your opponent just had a faster car than you or your opponent didn't make any mistakes with their faster car.

There is some skill involved when racing in Blackridge Rivals. You don't expect to win any races if you keep crashing onto walls, do you? 😉

That alone proves that 50% is skill.

Now for the 50% luck, there could sometimes be broken traffic sync and police roadblock sync like I mentioned in my previous post.

For example, you see a police roadblock on your screen and swerve to dodge it. However, you see your opponent went through the roadblock and lost no speed at all. The reason is your opponent had no roadblock on their race.

Rewards were only mentioned in Preseason as participation rewards.

Rewards weren't mentioned in Season 1, 2, and 3.

@BossNaija I know how you feel. And I feel that I would want to slap them for making me lose. lol XD

Thank goodness Blackridge Rivals wasn't implemented in summer of 2016 when I was with my little cousins. 😃

Dang!

Well, now I know I'm going to be in for a ride with my CCX. 🤒

As long as I don't get a Tuned Ferrari LaFerrari that didn't make any mistakes, then I'm good.

The first NFS game was released on August 31, 1994 and I was born some time before that. 😛

So you've been playing NFS games around the time I was born. 😉

I see the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is your favourite car. 😉

It seems like you are in need of a crew.

I talked to Jin about making a crew to represent the English-speaking community in Blackridge Rivals (as you can tell from the amount of Chinese players with "CHN" that they're probably a crew) and he was up for it.

If the crew does get made, I may choose to join the crew and represent the English-speaking community on the Blackridge Rivals leaderboard. :eahigh_file:

Well, it's definitely impossible for me to beat your best times when I don't have a Tuned Ferrari LaFerrari and stuck with a Koenigsegg CCX. 😃

It's totally discouraging when you're winning races and getting nothing for your efforts (0 SP). I feel your pain.

@CMBosss wrote:

Understandable.

@CMBosss wrote:

Tell me about it.

Did you take a look at any other threads here with complaints about racing against No Limits devs?

@CMBosss wrote:

Alright, thanks for the tip!

I would have wasted some Tuning Tools since I haven't got Tuning yet and unaware of this issue.

You've just saved me from wasting my resources. Thanks! 🙂

@CMBosss wrote:

I, sometimes, lose to No Limits devs due to my fail launches. But I win against them majority of the time.

And it's a bit harder (but not by much) to win against them with a 7-Star Ferrari LaFerrari.

@CMBosss wrote:

This really needs to be known among players when they could be wasting their Tuning Tools on a bugged Tuning.

I seriously hope it'll get fixed in the next update because this is ridiculous.

I think tuning bug will be fixed in the next update, they have been made aware my many players by email , forums etc , so except its beyond them, which i doubt, should be fixed in the next update.

Count me in on that as well.

It's theoretically impossible for me to be #1 without a Tuned Ferrari LaFerrari, so my new goal is to at least finish at a higher position that those Chinese crews. (Yea, there's more than one Chinese crew on the leaderboards).

Since I've seen the majority of them have Tuned Ferrari LaFerraris, it would be a challenge to be at a higher place than those crews.

Wow!

These are impressive times!

These are done with your Tuned Ferrari LaFerrari, right?

It will be impossible for me to beat those times with my Tuned Koenigsegg CCX.

Congrats on achieving those insane times!

@TheRealJony i replied there, yep tuned laf, thanks. Not really rusty , because i play a bit in underground when farming.
Also i wanted to do rank one once i have done it. Wont be soo keen to get that rank again unless it is really difficult or a better format is introduced to decide number one.

@TheRealJony,

Its possible to be no 1 with the ccx , so dont loose hope, having a laF doesnt mean automatic king..... u just have to master ur ccx and push hard, it drives totally different from ur LaF so u will have a great learning curve .... but truth be told , i love the ccx if only it had good accl , if u can control its top speed, its a BEAST
