NFS3 catchup

2 posts by 2 people · 10 Apr 1998 - 10 Apr 1998

Is it just me or do the computer cars (in tounaments and hot pursuit mode) seem to catch up and pass you very quickly, then slow down so you can pass them again. I seem to catch up to other cars quickly, take a while to get past, then they stick right behind me. I had one incident where I was doing really well through the Atlantic curcuit during a tourament, passing everyone, but I could see on the map that they were collecting into a pack just behind me. And in hot pursuit, when you watch the replays, look closely at the cop cars, you'll get a bit of distance on them, then all of sudden they just fly through a corner you had to slow down on, so they are right beside you again. For some, this may make it more fun, with close racing etc., but I find it terribly frustrating when one bad corner can see you go from 1st to 8th. Anyone else have this problem??

I agree. Catch up and close racing is fine for Arcade mode. But, I wish that the simulation mode was more realistic. I don't like it when a cop passes me when I accelerating in my Lamborghini.
