Re: Permanently Turn Upgrades OFF

Point is upgrades in online racing games are NEVER a good idea. iRacing = No Upgrades, Assetto Corsa = No Upgrades, rFactor = No Upgrades, AMS2 = No Upgrades, even Forza Motorsport has homologation to even the BoP (Balance of Performance) for online, and you seen the recent changes Gran Turismo has made to combat the exploits regarding upgrades. One of Legends best feature "Join" mid race is invalidated with upgrades, cause you take the place of an A.I with no upgrades and just doing laps til the race is over. They didn't think it through and just added it in at some point, otherwise joining mid race wouldn't be broken. Race Cars DO NOT get upgrades during a season, watch IMSA or Blancpain, it would ruin the BoP completely for teams. Now if we're talking about NFS that's fine, it's part of the game development from the start, but not racing games with rumble strips and curbs and focus on actual racing instead street racing.

  • Or they could just allow players to see which lobbies have upgrades off and which lobbies have them on...least effort.
