    Shortcuts in pvp

    I'm just seeing a lot of players that cuts a lot. I'm tired of this.

    If we go in a race we just search good drivers to race against, not people that just jumps a hill and wins 10 secs. That's not fair for everyone that doesn't know that cut. I just wan't a good racing experience and you give us this. I think the devs should make a penalty in-game (during race) when the game detects this like another games does or something where we can report this "drivers" and then punish them.

    Knowing the roads is just as important as being a fast driver. Know the track better than the other guy. If shortcuts are there, learn them and use them because the other guy will.

    I'm not talking about being one of them too, that's why I post this. Because another one that doesn't know them will have the same problem.

    well if it's a shortcut thats fine but they use non shortcuts like driving across grass until they hit a wall or fence then they Back on Track to the nearest road,. they are not shortcuts!!

    all done by platinums because they are desperate to win...

    how about racing properly, ever thought of that.......

    ps: if a shortcut is a shortcut ie: can drive across grass from one road to another thats a shortcut, driving across grass with a wall or fence in the way then use BoT it's not a shortcut but some players cannot help themselves and have to win at any cost.

    How do you guys propose they keep players from using shortcuts? If they start putting game mechanics in place to detect every little shortcut or possible exploit this game will never work right. With all the session and connection problems it barely functions as it is. They can't even keep the leader boards clean! I truly doubt they could do it without it being full of bugs that would end up never getting fixed. Something to consider.

    This would be sound advice if there was a possibility to practice the PVP tracks in a time trial or single player mode. I don't understand that such an option was not added to the game. This is really irritating.

    For one they could easily disable Back on Track in PVP, it's shamefully abused far too often. Shortcuts as explained by Ziltoid Racer are perfectly fine.

    there is a simple fix, make Back on Track what it says and put them back where they drive offroad onto the grass. at the moment it's Back to the nearest road.

    that way shortcuts are what they should be and certain sections of players cannot abuse BoT to gain a clear advantage...
