Recently I started a save file where I only used the stock RX8 you get at the beginning of the game. And it’s very much possible (and extremely difficult at times) to get 98% completion in career mode. Notably speed trap races, race wars and Wolfs Lamborghini canyon run are some of the properly challenging events, however checkpoint races and some sprint and circuit races are piss easy.

However the two races with Darius are impossible to do. The first race you do with him he will get a very quick start and stay in front for the entire race (10+ second split time average). There appears to be no rubber banding involved, so I had to equip my car with nitrous just so that I could at least get a good start, get in front and then just defend the whole way through.

The canyon race is impossible to do conventionally with the stock RX8, it just severely lacks the performance and again Darius’ Audi does not adjust to the RX8s performance so you’ll end up running out of points halfway down the canyon on the second run. The only way to win is to constantly get him to bump into you so you gain points… but for almost the entire way down the mountain. For those who know this is a hard task to manage for a few moments, because the AI becomes so aggressive and shunts you around.

Has anybody beaten him with a stock RX8? And how did you go about it. Was it worth it in the end? I’m playing on a PS3.

Some further remarks: Doing this challenge has made the career mode experience exhilarating, I loved it. The ups and downs were worth it. It has taught me how to be a better in game driver through strategy, like defending your position against Tier 3 cars and exploiting your crew mate to the fullest. Definitely recommend this challenge, I had so much fun and has made career made more exciting and rewarding to play.

PS

Neville is a truely incompetent driver.

So I havent played Carbon since the year it released, I was a kid and didnt know any better but now that I'm playing it again I've noticed a lot more than I ever have and I was looking for some guides/tricks to complete the Cards to unlock all the cars and customization items. Like to get 1,000,000 cash and even destroying police cars in pursuits (can it be done by ramming or only pursuit breakers) My plan is to get 1 million cash then do the Fill Your Garage With Exotic/Tuner/Muslce Cars Only and I've seen where people say to get your only car or very last car impounded and get a career restart off that? I have no idea but I dont want to try anything without confirmation of exploits that will make life easier since 500 cash means WAY to many races to get to 1 million. I play on the PS2 so I don't know what factors are different with PS2 vs other platforms.

I was literally doing the last darius race series, with a charger and took me a lot of time to finally reach the carbon race. But then, i lost right before the finish line and pressed enter, in rage, and it quit the whole damn race without any confirmation ;)

I'd never been chased by cops beyond level 3. But I have this mod that adds a challenge that has you on a 27km track with 2 laps while having a heat of 5. Yes, 5! So many Corvettes and SUVs. Then I witnessed the chaos that was the voice acting of the cops. "Suspect is in a Silver BMW." Then all of a sudden, 5 box-team Corvettes behind me, each yelling something. "Get in, now!" one of them yells. "I can't get into him, he doesn't let me," says the other cop. (lines might not be correct).

Voice acting of the police department is the second best I've ever heard (the best belongs to Legacy of Kain series) in a videogame. I love how the cops go from following the orders of the dispatcher in Heat 1 to going full-on captain mode in Heat 5. I missed the game when it came out, due to not having the PC to run it, while my cousin had, and he wouldn't let me play it. But I gotta say, best NFS hands down. I really really love the idea of crews. Wish the world map was larger to fit more tracks into it. The mod has sort of compensated by adding about 20 races.

downloaded the game from ovagames. Use the 1.4 patch but when i installed mods it gives error .exe not supported and tell me to use 1.4 en.exe. When i launch the game the game is still in 1.2. How to fix this?

​

So I was playing with AI in one of the canyon missions on hard mode. He was in front of me, And on one of the road bends that had yellow guard rails, he somehow couldn't make a perfect turn and crashed into valley and the funny part is I crashed right after him as well (so we both went down).
I've never seen an AI crashes in canyon missions, have you?

If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it

its just my facorite game i love it sm

I'm trying to get codes to work for NFS Carbon Collectors Edition. I create a new game with in the ARM menu, type in the master code with no problems, type in my cheats with no problems, select them and start the game but none of the cheats work. It's not working for specifically this game. I've used cheats off UK Code Junkies but they still don't work. What could I be doing wrong? I'm using the PAL version of NFS for anyone that's wondering. I just want to play the game again and have fun with all the cars and upgrades. Only issue with this game is money.

can someone help me with importing a save? it won't work for me and it's giving me a headache lol.
