NFS Rivals

Hey y'all,

 I'm trying to get some time into this game to form a solid opinion on multiplayer, but I"m constantly placed in an empty lobby. If anybody has the game, look me up in the next night or two for some mp before I take it back to the rental place. Thanks.

Probably just as well that nobody volunteered...it would have saddened me to emasculate fellow clan members in front or their wives and children. Way to dodge the bullet.

No, you have to get Greg Kinnear's permission first.

Jones, I almost bought it and would have been willing to be a guinea pig, but then I read that it doesn't support the TX wheel.

By the way, your Forza 5 leaderboard times are making me cry.  How do you get so many clean laps?  I hope to be more competitive once I get going with the wheel and pedals.  I love the controller, including for Forza 5, but I just cannot get used to it enough to develop some speed and consistency.  The wheel and pedals feel much more natural for me.

I'm generally 3rd or 4th down on my friends leaderboards...usually behind Fjosh, GTFoot, Gizzie, and/or BayAreaAthiest, so I'm almost never the fastest on any track among my friends. The way to get clean laps is by putting in a lot of solo time. I do 3-lap tune testing...meaning I run a freshly tuned car 3 laps (in rivals mode) around the track I have crafted the tune for. I also grind LB times...3-5 laps each track configuration in each class. Once I have established a clean lap time I change cars and attempt to improve it. My aversion to using LB cars hampers my leaderboard progression, but I like seeing muscle cars on the board.
