Traffic Mechanics are annoyingly Dumb

So I’m sure everyone notices all the time that when you approach a traffic car moving a head of you (in any direction) it will slowly decelerate to a stop when you get within a certain range of it............... this is the most ridiculous mechanic is a street racer and I have no idea why the devs implemented this. 

The result of such stupid mechanics means that the traffic tend to slow to a stop dead in front of where the driver is trying to go. Which is infuriating. This means that the driver can’t prepare for where the traffic should be, the traffic just stops on the drivers line and causes crashing. There is no reason that traffic should slow to a stop when crossing at an intersection or when it’s incoming. (Oncoming is different Cos the traffic can “see” you).

Every single time traffic comes into the mix of the road I’m on, it slows down and becomes a static obstacle. It should keep moving and allow drivers to avoid a moving obstacle. This would lead to less screaming of “WHY DID HE STOP THERE” at the screen as I’m sure everyone does when it constantly happens.

  • @PlashticBabehAlso the computer drivers are the worst. Notice it on the oval track more than anywhere. They will spin out and crash in the first turn lmao! like what. .... Also ill be passing a car an it will slam on the brakes and fishtail and ram into me for no reason. They really have alot of work to do on this game if they want anyone to buy the next one. Sad this was the first nfs with any potential for years and they didn't release it finished.
