I decided to write a report on my findings of online racing.
After having the game for 3 months I decided I would try online racing. For the past few nights I have gone on and found it to be pretty interesting. When first going into the lobby I found that a majority of the races are either drag races or runs on SS7, so finding people racing on a real track that requires skill can sometime take a while. I decided to try SS7 for a bit, it was fun but it's mostly about who has the fastest car and who is in the best position to draft. Some a** clown decided it would be funny to go backwords to which he was yelled at by everyone and ended up leaving. After that I found a normal room where people were racing some of the road courses. Now I am by no means a great driver... sometimes i miss my turn and breaking points but I can still keep it on the track. A majority of people racing online really have no clue, I don't know how many time I was executing good breaking and about to get a good clean in and out only to have someone slam into the back of me. Another problem is the PP system, 2 cars can be the same PP but even with some moderate tuning I was still having cars pull away from me. The first night was fun and it was good to race something besides AI.
For the second night of racing I went down to Wal Mart and purchased a $20 bluetooth headset. This made communicating with others much easier. Again about half the races were Drags... you would think PD would pick up on this and add a drag strip since it seems to be so popular. I found a room with a guy and his friend and racing with him was quite enjoyable, he was a good driver and we had some clean races. It was funny when some kid came in and said: "Lets race the Red Bull, I wanna race something fast." He left crying because we started the race without him. After a few hours I decided to try some drag racing. I didn't really get what they were doing but it had something to do with a ghost car, after running a few times I was kicked out without explanation. After that I tried some Nascar at Daytona in a room named dirty racing, I thought that would be fun but there were only three of us but someone had a bad connection because their cars would jump all around he track. This made dirty racing hard and almost impossible to slam into another car. I left the room only to receive a message from one of the racers in the dirty Nascar room. It was from jacob8151996 (which I''m guessing is the little punks birthdate) calling me a p****. I sent him a message back telling him he had some balls sending me a message over the internet. We went back and forth with a few more messages and then I blocked him. I finished up the night with some Shuffle racing, which turned out to be a lot of fun.
I'll go on tonight and see what else I can find, the online racing can definatly be fun if you know where to look, avoiding d-bags can be tricky but finding a good room makes for some good racing. If you've gotten this far thanks for reading my long winded review.
