I would have preferred to crack a million point overall for that extra level of security, but I think I'm good for the Red Fury Evo X. I've spent most of my time grinding for hothead/slippery affixes for my 370Z and ended up with car capable of a x83 multiplier which got me a score of 290k (which translates into a summit score of 105k).

My weak spots are the low altitude and buoy smashing events, both of which are currently sitting at 64k. If I do slip out of platinum, I'll try the reverse method for the low altitude event.
I was lucky enough to get the double points perks for my speed boat a while back but didn't know the 1414 was the best boat so using that and double points I made 152k.Some guy was racing pvp in the evo last night it seems pretty quick.

I rarely ever see a PvP Street Race event without an Evo, and for good reason - They are highly overpowered compared to most SR cars. That and the Audi RS5 are really the only cars that can competitively race against bikes online.
 
Well... I would actually prefer real police instead of some kind of workaround. Police would make better atmosphere for the game. And i would love to see free roam police.

Look, I'm not going to try and forcibly change your opinion on whether or not "fake" police is better than "real" police - as I just said, that's an opinion, and those are (thankfully) free for each of us to have their own. What I *am* asking is whether or not this "fake" police is better than *no* police. Because, as of right now, those two (and yes I know there's technically the third option of having chasers that aren't police in any way, shape or form, but that's technically a "fake" police as well, so shush) options seem the most plausible - and as such, I question the relevance of the third (or fourth) option - as things are right now.

In other words, would you be able to agree to a compromise, or are we going to play a long-winded game of "Me Absolutely And Unconditionally Want Or Poopy Diapers Shall Be Thrown"? Because something like that happened in the NFS section fairly recently, in which instance a person decided that coming to any form of compromise on literally (yes, I literally used the word literally incorrectly) anything was too difficult for them, resulting in them yeeting themselves off the GTP servers faster than you can spell "we've literally (hah!) served you an easily-reproducable (and recurring) error in the handling model on a silver platter, not following up on that and experiencing it for yourself is entirely on you".


I'm not saying "don't have opinions". I'm saying "don't be extremely unnecessarily close-minded or you're going to be seriously disappointed every single time. also it doesn't make you appear edgy in a good way".

I remember those times. 'twas fun.

Ermmm... I'm not sure what to think of it.

1) I was just discussing and giving my point of view
2) I don't try to change your opinion.
3) I am not arguing that my opinion is better.

I've just said "i would prefer real police instead of fake one" that's it. You treated my post way too serious.

I don't know what happened in the NFS Section and I don't care. I am not here for arguing or trolling. If you thought that i was forcing something then sorry i didn't mean to.

Getting back to the topic. I find current summit to have very close competition on PS4. Currently I am 1775 place but every time i came back to console I need to fight back to get to Platinum level. It is very addicting i love it :D
 
Ermmm... I'm not sure what to think of it.

..right, allow me to try and rephrase it, in as casual a manner as possible.

Given the choice between including some form of "fake police" or sticking with "no police whatsoever", which would you prefer?
 
Personally the lack of police chases in TC2 was a big dissapointment, I enjoyed those a lot in the first game. Fake chases are one thing, but lack the immersion of a proper police chase.

What I really would like to be introduced are free roaming police AI on the map who chase you when you break the law in sightof one, like in the first game. There would be a place for police boats, off road vehicles and helicopters too.

The longer the chase goes on the more the police should increase their efforts, road blocks, more cars, helicopters etc.

If it was going to be some kind of bizzare "chasing rabbit" mode i probably would not care about it too much. If somebody wants it great, but i would be a little disappointed, but still playing this game.

I am curious how would police chases work with planes... I think if police would come back it would be restricted to certain car classes. I would like to see it as a seperate racing family like Illegal Racing? With Street Race, Raid (smuglers run?) and Hypercars but if they add more classes to this it would be also great.

I think the way that it could/should work, is that as soon as you get engaged in police chase your "fast fave" is disabled.

Seems logical.

But when you are already in the plane it would be very easy to loose them. I doubt that they will chase you in F-16 xD

When in plane it should be cops disabled until you change into a "car"
Since they still have that random pop in with cars.
So it would be just like that.
Change to car.
Cops will just "pop" in
 
Damn... I didn't manage to get Red Fury Evo :P I ended up 3005 placed xD But i couldn't get more points from all events. To be honest I don't care for this evo its ugly but challenge was great and a lots fun. On current summit i want to win Fiat Abarth, I don't care for this Vanity items, most of them are ugly or too crazy for me :D

Check out the Untamed Italians Summit on the end of May. There is special prize for platinum. Lamborghini Huracan Performante... I wonder is it June vehicle drop or special summit car. I hope there is going to be option to buy it if you don't won it :P I also hope it will be in the Hypercar class because we don't need two Huracans in Street Race class :D
 
Guys anyone know what this is like with a wheel to play? Is it worth trying or are you better off playing with a controller?

I played it at launch with controller and was thinking of diving back in to see how it's improved. Also when using a wheel how does the transition to flying a plane work?

Thanks in advance! :)

I played it on both controller and wheel (t300rs) before they patched driving model (right now I am using only controller). And it was okey...ish? It isn't something perfect i think it is worse than The Crew 1 (less surface feedback) but still quite fun. But definitely I won't buy wheel for The Crew 2 specially. If you have one it is worth trying. But if you don't it is still very fun with controller. I didn't played on wheel after the driving model patch i hope they fixed force feedback and they increased road surface details.

Thanks. Do you know how it works when you switch to controlling a plane when you're using a wheel? Do you have to switch on a controller or what? Can't see how they'd handle a smooth transition like it was with a pad!

Unless you fly the plane with the wheel lol:lol:

Both controller and wheel are working. You can pilot plane/boat using steering wheel, but controller works alongside (if you have it turned on). On boat races i even used steering wheel for steering and controller analog for trimming at the same time. So you can just switch to plane and take controller leaving steering wheel, just make sure it is centered beacuse it STILL WORKS!
 
I use a wheel it works fine just lower steering to 300deg and when you change to a plane you pick up a pad.although I still use the peds for throttle when im air racing and we have advantage in boats as pull back to lift the front is its own button not on the stick for turning which is annoying.

For me it disadvantage because D-PAD on T300RS is pretty hard and small and it is very uncomfortable to keep pushing it during race xD

Thanks guys that sounds brilliant. I'm on ps4 and to be honest did not think that would have been possible. Mainly because when you switch on a controller it would replace the one your using unless you assigned it to a different user. I'll try it out in a bit to see if I can get it to work! 👍
 
I personally wouldn't mind seeing the police vehicles from Calling All Units come back. If they can't give us regular cops at least let us role play as cops.

Just a thought.
 

..I'll be honest, it's not the tyre brand I'd have gone for, but I'll take this for now. Muscle cars = improved. Visually, at least.

also RALLYCROSS FINALLY HAS A POINT-TO-POINT RACE OUTSIDE THE ARENAS and it's actually not that bad a road. Slightly puzzled as to why they didn't make it a little bit longer and have it end at the big 'ol lake right around the next corner, but hey-ho.

also also ICON 595 which means not long until I can call the Ferrari LaPrideAndAccomplishment done.
