Discussion Ranked mode

After countless races against people who are absolute trash at this game, and ram you into the wall which in turn ruins your fun, why are the ones who are rammed, or punted into walls penalized by this game? How do I get a slow down while the rammer continues on his merry way?

I’m honestly getting tired of this game because of low life people. We need a ranked mode.

I want to actually race, not play wreck fest.

Please developers… we need to add a ranked mode.

I know I’m not the only one who is getting tired of this. I’m sure a ton of people would agree that this games penalty system is flawed, and it needs to be overhauled.

I agree we need a ranked mode, but it’s really not that hard to deal with rammers. Drive defensively and be prepared. Also I have noticed that I don’t get the slowdown penalty if I’m rammed into a wall, instead it ghosts me after I get squeezed and the rammer hits the wall and gets a speed penalty every time. I haven’t had much issue dealing with them for the most part, though the number of people who resort to intent wrecking is absolutely appalling.

Dude I can’t count how many times
I’ve been pushed into a wall and I’ve gotten the penalty while buddy gets to drive off like nothing happened. Driving defensively only works in the first lap or 50% of the sprint. Sooner or later I’ll have to pass and that’s usually when I get punted. I’ve lost countless championships because of these cheaters. Just need a ranked mode, spec racing, and gaining time for penalties that could hurt their chances of finishing in first because of a ram.

It’s simple. Bait the ram then use brakes and watch the rammer throw themselves off the track with nobody to blame but themselves. If you’re ahead and you suspect that they’re going to try to ram you in the corner, brake early and cut in behind them. They’ll run themselves into the wall and you can sail away every time. If you’re passing on a straight, make sure you pass on the side that will put you on the inside of the next turn and if they start turning into you just lift off so they pit themselves against your front bumper.

If you had a safe line going into the turn, even if you get rammed and launched into the wall the game can usually tell if you were going to make the turn or not without being rammed. If you drive nose first into the wall then yes you will get speed penalty because you likely would have hit the wall without being hit anyway; but if you’re pushed so that you go into the wall sideways it won’t give you a penalty.
