Petulance everywhere!

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, 

Just a general whine really. 

I bought the game on release and only yesterday turned my attention to multiplayer for the first time and can't believe what a bunch of twats most people that play online are. 

I'm not the quickest, I have to use auto gearbox most races but I try to be fair!!!! 

Yet online, its like, for every one person that gives room, wants to race fairly and cleanly there are ten that just chop you off the moment you start going round them. Even some of the folks that race clean eventually sideswipe you when they can sense you're getting the move done on them.

I've read how bad it is on these forums but didn't really comprehend the full bellendery that I would encounter on my re-entry to multiplayer. 

I just can't understand peoples mentality. 

whinge over!

The reason I stopped playing online racers 15 years ago. Was a mess in the beginning, is still a mess and will always be a mess.

I think I need to find one! A friend of mine does a few but the ones he is involved with all start at stupid o'clock in the morning. 

Do most leagues prefer people to play with no assists though?.. I haven't been able to wean myself off the auto gearbox..

Half and half really, my league allows assists but some people only want to drive with leagues which do not allow them. All down to the league owner's preference really

Maybe I should start in a league or something. Hope that there are full assist leagues on Xbox.

There is a big xbox league called F1XL (www.f1xl.co.uk), currently we have 4 leagues running, all leagues allow the full use of assists if you wish, the only resitriction is that you have to use one of the preset setups, no customs are allowed.

Whilst there are still incidents and the occaisonal bad driver, there is a penalty system in place which polices this, the racing standards are usually very good.

Ps4. Feel free to check out psorc and contact the admin, or say hi. I'm in this league. It's same as above except we do our own set ups, generally.

It's fun but league is on hold until codies sort the game out. Youvr Only missed 1 race.

Will check that out. Probably by gonna take some penalties as flashbacks are my best friend in f1 games.  But I think I will take it either first few times. Thnx for the suggestion.
