Another broken penalty system post... [PS4]

Recommended Posts

Collisions: During a multiplayer race at China earlier today, I made 4 attempts to make a clean pass down the back straight on the same player. 3 of the times they purposely turned into me, twice I was able to avoid wrecking my car and the last time put me into the wall costing me the race. After all 3 of these collisions, no penalties were given to them, and ironically I got a warning for causing a collision.

Illegal Overtakes: The only time I was able to safely make it past this player down China's back straight, I was given an illegal overtake warning. I gave the position back only to be crashed into on the next lap. Also I continually receive illegal overtake warnings for passing players who have either crashes or went off circuit. Of course I continue on and just deal with the penalty, but what am I supposed to stop and wait for them to get back on track?

Of course, corner cutting is still a huge problem and I rarely see players obey track limits.

Sadly that is what multiplayer is like Imo that's why I never really game online as people will always try to find the easiest way to win. The penalty system is BS on the game don't get me wrong but that is one area I do feel sorry for cm as the amount of different circumstances that might happen in a full lobby it must be hard to programme a good penalty system that will be fair for all players involved! Don't get me wrong if someone is pushing you off track and you get the penalty it does sound like a bug but on the other hand we don't know how its programmed so for all we know it may always be the driver that was behind that will get the pen if contact is made? Not trying to stick up for cm I can just see that really the penalty's are never going to be fair as they must be so hard to programme when 16 players might all be rubbing wheels together. Prob the nicest thing ive said about cm :)
