Dirty Driving

Question

Their should be a slight penalty to online dirty driving IMO. As it stands now the aggressor barely takes a scratch to speed while the defender generally goes flying. The aggressor Acting like a 911 porsche and ignoring all physics. This really only happens when the opposing player realizes they are not a better driver

I dont mind fighting for a position. I normally play 1st person so I dont try to be dirty (IMO best way to play) I am a fair player. I highly enjoy a clean race vs high competition. Really brings the competition out in me. But I have rarely found that.

I think it should be as much risk as it is reward for dirty driving. As it stand now a slight nudge sends people flying usually. While the other barely drops in speed or in need of travel correction

Just like playing basketball in the streets, expect dirty play! Its STREET racing not Nascar! Although i do agree, it all comes down to levels of respect. Which honestly is determined by a few things: Age of player (kids nowadays dont know what respect is), Skill behind the wheel, and the difference between your car and theirs in performance.

Chances of playing Dirty (*not 100% true*)

Poorly disciplined kids/adults = most likely

Highly disciplined kids/adults = less likely

Poor driving skills = most likely (if they even keep up)

Highly skilled = less likely (truly skilled dont need to play dirty, you probably will lose them after first lap)

Younger players = Not enough NFS experience (possibility they havent played a NFS before payback)

Older players = We got experience as early as the OG "The Need For Speed" release in 1994

Lower the perfomance = definitely will play dirty bc thats the only way they gonna keep up

Higher performance = kinda dirty playing if you got the fastest car in the mix. (especially if your using fastest car in game and maxed, while others are just using their favorites)

*****This is not 100% true!!! This is just the likeliness of dirty play. Thats all!*****

my post is about how they need to bring dirty racing into more realistic expectations

drive dirty all you want. as long as you take 'damage' to something vs practically nothing right now

Not to stop it

@FlickMyBic hey, saw you in game last night, didn't get a chance to race you.
I try my best to race clean and really appreciate it when others do the same. but dirty racing has been a part of the Need for Speed from the get go. most NFS games give you bonus points for taking out an opponent(dirty driving).
yes I would like dirty driving to be punished with damage to slow them down, which would curb this problem. maybe
Happy Motoring

Probably saw me driving my Bug (best car in game IMO)

Gotta share. Beat Two 911 anti physics machines with my bug tonight! One dude got so mad with the last race he was dirty racing to win. If a bug is in first place you gotta throw some respect XD

@FlickMyBic&nbsp;I wouldn't hold my breath, as even the AI is programmed to drive dirty in this game.&nbsp; This is one of the main reasons that I let everybody pass me at the start of the race in multiplayer, because quite frankly, I could careless about being the first to cross the finish line, so I let the ones who 'just gotta win' go first.&nbsp;&nbsp;
