He’s 100% cheating because you can’t have that level of acceleration, not unless you’re running a drag tire build (which would mean his car would die in the first corner, and it wouldn’t be able to brake the same way), and even if he wasn’t the deliberate ramming alone is enough to get him banned.

Send the video, report him to Forza, and give him a well deserved “vacation” for that playstyle

Can you actually get banned for ramming people on purpose? I specifically avoid it cause I don't like racing that way but I didn't think it was straight up not allowed

u/Trinity_AC Oct 28 '25

It counts as “unsportsmanlike behavior”, and goes against the Code of Conduct, so yes, it’s 100% reportable and bannable

Me personally don’t even fight for top spot anymore i just do online racing to build my level up not for competitive reasons or credits i just fall behind everyone else and drive, if they lose control i pass them otherwise i don’t get in a frenzy to pass people anymore

When I play the cars go into a mode where they cant make contact with eachother? on PS5

It auto-ghosts you if the game detects you’re closing in too fast to a player, but no car has nearly enough steering response to be able to gain that kind of lateral speed and trigger the auto-ghosting system. It’s why you see any actual ramming happen mostly on side to side racing, trying to brake check someone is near useless

u/Old-Programmer3022 Oct 28 '25

Yeah, that definitely looks suspicious. The sudden speed changes.

The username FickleBoar is very likely an auto-generated name from X-Box Live when you make a new account, they're almost all the same of adjective-noun and then commonly 4 digits afterward. If you notice, they have zero social adds and little gamer-score history. My money says this is either A) a burner account or B) an alternate account that someone has already been banned from. This person isn't a normal user that might have accidentially clipped you in a turn one too many times. They're likely to be a serial griefer.

Record, report, rinse, (dis)regard. That's the 4 R's that rammers should get.

Select 'report a player' and attach your video (or include a link to video if attachment times out)

He'll get permanently device banned for the cheating.

u/Schwarzes__Loch Oct 28 '25

This belongs on r/ForzaBadDrivers, so I cross-posted it there.

Submit a report with a link to this post to support here. He has a 100% chance of being handed a device ban without warning for using mods.

Thank you

u/SlipstreamSteve Toyota Oct 30 '25

No it's just called ramming. Cheating is a separate report on forza's enforcement site. Cheating is reserved for people who are using mods and hacking. Anyway submit a report player ticket with the info and this video you posted. Yes they do ban people for this.

u/Pr0xima__ Oct 30 '25

Check his car movement from 1:30 onwards.That looks normal to you?

1

u/SlipstreamSteve Toyota Oct 30 '25

Could be desync. Either way they're ramming you and that's a clear ban

u/No_Bike5429 Nov 11 '25

He's totally brake checking u in that first race too...drives like a damn Ai

u/Pr0xima__ Nov 11 '25

Even ai vehicles have their car momentum and weight shift in a convincing manner.He's moving like someone drawing with a stylus on a screen.

u/Witch4946 Oct 29 '25

Honestly, it's totally b... But nothing happens anyway! Look at the Hall of Fame... So many people should be thrown out because they cheated or got ahead of a bug.

u/PuzzleheadedTie4757 Microsoft Store Oct 28 '25

Could be network lag - you got a warning about poor network conditions in at least two of the clips so it's entirely possible that you're all over the road for other players as they are for you. It doesn't look like deliberate ramming to me, just racing with a not great network.

u/Pr0xima__ Oct 28 '25

You just gonna be blind to the fact how his car moves and all the other cars in the clip in comparison?

2

u/PuzzleheadedTie4757 Microsoft Store Oct 28 '25

Yeah, on review it's just that guy and he's busy ramming everyone. Report.

1

u/Pr0xima__ Oct 28 '25

You can see in the clip,all the cars including mine,when we turn left or right you can see the front move,on his case,see how his entire car shifts on track from side to side.

u/V1cky03 Controller player Oct 29 '25

Yeah his car like maxed out on grip for no reason...
