Why are leaderboard cheats not getting banned? Been doing the Long Beach rival challenge with the bots on track…Can be pretty dam hard getting a clean lap and i kept finding myself an insane amount of seconds behind the leaders…So i watched their replays to get tips and they dont have a single bot to race against?? Surly this is cheating just as much as a 12 year old who thinks he’s playing an arcade racer? Also it’s not just this rivals event as people are cheating all over the leaderboards by putting far better tunes on cars than they are allowed… Seems out of order to ban people that crash (A flag penalty system would save banning people) and not ban the leaderboard cheats.
I believe if i recall something off happens when watching the replays on the track day events and the AI does not appear. Either this or they are backing up traffic so much that they disapear like in forza 4 and that was not fixed.
This has been going on ever since Forza 4. Players will always find a way to cheat the system, it’s just the way it is.
Those that cheat generally get banned, or are put in the dirty lobbies, or dirty section of the leaderboards. Forza’s cheat detection system is second to none in the racing game world.
omg this is no cheat man…
in all replays you can’t see the cars in front or in the bottom. you just see your/his car around that track, so this is no cheat!! i can also make this lap time, all you need is luck on your current lap and good skills.
but in other rivals you can see some mistakes, for example the Prague Rival in Monthly Rivals. there is a B class in front, so this a mistake because a b class car can’t run faster lap than an A Class Car.
i don’t get upset, just smile about some unreal things. 
Then run the class based leaderboards. Only time you’ll see an impossible time is due to a glitch not caused by the player.
The monthly rivals have been hacked since release. You see crazy stuff like R class cars posting times in a rival event that is supposed to be for class B cars…stuff like that. I don’t know what Turn 10’s position is on this, but I have stayed away from spending serious time on these events. On the other hand, the regular rivals races have not been hacked like this and this is where my time is spent if I am doing rivals. I do wish they would clean up monthly rivals because some of the events seem pretty cool. Peace
There is a huge difference in glitched (which is what they are doing, glitching) and hacking. (which they aren’t)
I actually lost a number one time on the Spa Rivals Track Day for no reason. The track was just pulled from the roster without warning.
It’s a complete joke that the glitches out boards haven’t been fixed yet.
“Rivals Mode” is a leaderboad time-trial mode that turns off all AI drivers, and allows you to run at maximum, and chase the leaders’ times. They aren’t cheats. You’re just racing in the wrong mode, if you’re looking for clean time-trial style races.
Those guys in the top 100 aren’t cheats either. The game rounds the PI of each car, and when a car is near the border of PI points, the game can round it up into the next class. It’s a game glitch, but such is the way with games.
Those guys who run those top 100 times also, generally, tune their cars to be track-specific, so they can be as quick as possible on any given track. If it’s a speed track: they do mostly power upgrades, and enough handling upgrades to keep them on the track. If it’s a handling track, then they choose good-handling cars, and upgrade everything that benefits handling whilst making power take a back seat. When it’s a balanced track, well, then they upgrade and tune as-is-needed in order to get the best lap time.
I’m no expert in tuning, or upgrading, but I can spot when a car’s been tuned properly for any given track. Those guys that run top 25-50, those guys know their tuning ins-and-outs, and they know how to take the most extreme line as is humanly possible.
There aren’t many cheats in Forza (and those that do either get banned, or get forced into the dirty lobbies and dirty section of the leaderboards). Forza’s cheat-detection system is second-to-none in the racing game world, and I’d be willing to bet that it’s probably in the top ten when it comes to cheat-detection in any game ever made. The leaderboard lobbies are the cleanest mode in Forza, and I’m sure that everyone would agree with me on that.
That’s wrong, I done a Rivals event only 2 nights ago at long beach well over 15 laps and it was full of slow bots. People are cheating on these events and looking into it a bit further on other forums it seems these guys have been cheating like this since Forza 4.
Seems odd to ban the kids for crashing but not ban the leaderboard cheats.
