Is this burnout? sure feels like it!

I really can’t play this game online…

I never raged at a game until now. Every corner involves some idiot t-boning me to pull 2nd or 1st… I mean really!

I even like starting last because the first corner is always a gangbang of destruction! People need to learn how to drive. It my first time online in FM5 and I’m returning the game. I finish last because some idiot in some riced out Honda has to send me 20 feet flying in the air while he goes around the corner like I’m not there.

Online is such [Mod edit -profanity FB] Thanks for the migraine [Mod edit -profanity FB] with the kbow…

Thats where id suggest pre arranged private lobbys for clean racing. Or friends. Either way results in great racing

Was that really necessary? Seems to me the person is just frustrated with online like a good amount of people are from what I have read. Flaunting a possible ban to him to me is not really on topic at all and not needed. If you choose to act like this maybe you should do it somewhere else. I feel bad for all the online players dealing with this situation. I remember having to deal with this in forza 4 and horizon. From what I have been told the blocking system for forza 5 seems to work. That being said I would advise in blocking all the crashers you can in hopes of getting better online play later on.

I don’t see where anyone mentioned a possible ban for the OP.

where did i flaunt a possible ban? I’m NOT A MOD

do you go post somewhere every time you dont like something or exchange it? who cares if he does. its not our job to talk him into keeping it. he dont like it…trade it in and be gone.

i just wished him well. if he wants to trade it in because online people dont play the way he wants he is never gonna enjoy any online game.

Was it necessary to sell the game because of the idiots who crash and wreck? Youll find if you talk in lobbys or go in with a friend or 2 (if you got any) then the crashers just leave because they dont have the balls to keep doing it if you say youll vote to kick…

You don’t need to play the game online to enjoy it. The career racing set with unbeatable drivatars provides a good challenge, especially if you try to drive as clean as possible. If you must play online there are plenty of clean racers out there. You need to set up your own lobby and invite them to join you. The obvious problem with public lobbies is that the game is quite difficult and plenty of online players will not even be old enough to hold a driving licence LOL.

LOL unbeatable drivatars arent a challenge, all they do is try to pit maneuver or slam into the player every chance they get. pull ahead by single corner, they won’t catch you. unless you suck that is.

A lot of us need to play online.

I agree. I am not a very good driver online, but I know this and do not think I need to be first. I also agree with the previous post about those online not having a drivers license or possibly even reaching puberty yet. It seems to me that parents do not pay any attention to the rating on the games. This also holds true with other games as well.

If I have wrecked anyone in multi-player, I am sorry it was not my intention. I don’t have a mic yet to apologize in game.

I can assure everyone I am more than old enough to play this game. I let my 7 y/o grand daughter game with me offline, key word offline, with me present .

How do you not have a mic yet, the system came with two.

As for online FRIENDS make it way better, or atleast talking with people. The kick function works while as long as people know who to kick. Most of the time as soon as you start saying so and so should be kicked for crashing they normally leave on there own.

I’m not the greatest racer and I’m still rusty since the last race game I truly played was FM2. So if we get into a lobby with rammers I do my best to protect and block for my friends so they can get away. After awhile the rammers get bored and just leave and you get left with a group that actually wants to race.

i dont even buy games anymore unless they have online MP.
skyrim was the last single player game i actually enjoyed. and ESO is coming i can’t wait.

as for the crazy online lobbies on FM5… i say bring it. the more chaos there is, the more fun i have. i really loved the playground games in FM 3 & 4 and would love to see the same spirit return to FM5… but until it does, i’m ok with the lobby chaos.

To be honest I enjoy the online, yeah you get some bad racers and idiots online, nut that what the block and report functions are for. you dont want to race with someone, then block them, if an idiot crashes time and time again only then submit a report.
Also dont forget the free play, you can have some good races in there with unbeatable drivatars.

I would like to have ranked races, or at least a mecanism that a hit back/front the player become withot acceleration past 3 or 5 seconds. Developers, please dont let FM5 multiplayer become a new GTA5, a place that if u cant be sucessuful, than they screw the all round…

Do not cheat yourself. There are just as many good racers out there as well.

We all have to race with them, we all get hit. If you are TRULY fast, You will overcome 1st turn, and still win by a mile.
99.9 of players on this game, have no clue how to drive on track by them self.
No way will they be able to drive in Traffic.

Don’t want to drive with the Riff Raff? Get Faster.
