Rubber Banding

I think that rubber banding has a possitive side too though, I dont always mind it. When you are not very good at racing like me, all the other cars shoot off into the distance and it gets lonely. At least my rubber banding computer racing friends wait for me in this game.If I play speedlists, unless the other players are blind or just rubbish at racing, I always end up km''s behind the rest and it can be a bit demoralizing.

Remember my friend its just a game. Yes I said that lol even though I have over 1100 hrs into the game its still just a game and therefore should not be demoralizing period . Play it and have fun my friend as there is no million dollar prize for being the best. Some days I can run good timeS other days I drive like I am blind lol . Ether or it makes no difference to me as i just play it to enjoy. Plus remember its NFS and when was the last time you played a NFS game where you were not crashing one way or another at some point . Bragging rights in game have never paid anything useful in the real world so don't buy into them. 🙂

Over 700 hours playing here, just a game, but I love it. I just play for the racing, the pretty graphics, and for the insane rubber banding.I even like the dodgy acting in the video bits, because it is so bad, it's good.If this game was not so full of stupid bugs and mistakes it would be a true masterpiece.

Its sure is a bitter sweet game isnt it. Building my rides ( even with no parts available annoyance )  is addictive and then just cruising the map with my ride enjoying the graphics and stuff is the sweet part . The AI aiming for you and the other bugs is the bitter part. Double edged sword this damn game is :P

The ai racers act like the police should and the police act like the ai racers should.

I recon when they were building the game some bright spark programmer connected the games ai racers to the police ai by mistake and visa versa. Now the police run away from you and your fellow ai racers attack you without mercy during races, or they just slam into you while you are racing someone else. They make better police than the police do.

lol, You know i never thought of it that way but it does make sense. I find sitting still in a parking lot far off the road away from the AI a safe way to avoid the stress :P

I wonder if EA have thought of this ?

I hear in payback there will be no free roaming police because of the problems getting cops to chase us. Just put the ai racers in cop cars they chase us automatically to the death without mercy, and put the cops in racers cars because they are pussys compared to Spike,

The best minds at EA didn't see this one, it took  a balding Ramones fan with no girlfriend and no job  to see it.

I hear you but I am one those guys who is undecided on this cops in payback issue. Not having them in my way  is what i would like. I mean hear me out , for me It stems form being in a race in NFS 2016 and then wanting to restart and I cant because I got thees annoying cops chasing me and I can not do anything else until I out run them. One could say im being impatient but i am already angry I got blind sided by a AI car for the 100th time so i just want to restart with out a 2 minute PITA chase from the cops. At the same time though I can understand were others are coming from as well so its going to be next to impossible to bring a game to the table that please us all 100%. I mean we all do not like the same color right so.😃

I

I hate it  too after a mission faliure if you can't get rid of the cops that are in the mission, or free roaming cops that home in on you,  restart the mission and try again is all you want.50-50 for cops then.I agree with your point, but I think free roaming cops give depth to the game, sort of side missions when you are bored, attack them etc.

I think if the task of adding a type of on / off system for the cops can be implemented into payback then that will be a win win for every one. As well just leave the cops out of races that don't need them thus if you crash you can just restart right o way with out cussing the cops out loud whilst beating your game pad half to death lol. 😳
