Dannyharwood Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This is really starting to get annoying, now races in gta are suppose to be about skill and when you have the lead, suddenly the guy in second place can easily catch up up start ramming you and win and that's nothing to do with skill, I really hope rockstar take this off all together, because even with an option to take it off people still put it on mmm chocolate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevoidLight Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Or you can create your own races that suit your needs. Stop trying to limit how others play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelliparius Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 catch up makes for an intense race between clean racers. be the host and kick anyone who spins you out keeps nailing your quarter panels. Keep the dirt in the GTA races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelliparius Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 the haters are usually the ones cheating to win. Normal races should reflect true life racing. How often do pro racers purposely wreck each other's cars? Never! Race clean in standard races or GTFO. they need to add an ability for the host to kick a bad racer mid race. My crew throws the race and all gangs up smashing them until they leave. MadHaTT3R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumflamegang50 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Every race I host I make sure its off, that sh*t is so annoying. mmm chocolate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelliparius Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't mind either way, but if it's just you and yr buds it can make for a nice neck and neck run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHaTT3R Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Im feeling ya bro...had the same topic yesterday...and they just hate Just consider the source bro. More players agree with you, than you are led to believe. Never let a small minority of players (especially in a forum!) lead you to believe that their way, is the right way. Catch up is the auto aim of racing. Those same haters will tell you your a noob for using autoaim, but in the same sentence condemn you for wanting catch up turned off. Or for simply posting your feelings about it. Ignore the haters both literally and figuratively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitty Don Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Options are there to cater for all, IMO everything should be off for a standard race, whilst everything should be on for a GTA race..... just my opinion though !!!

JC Hammer Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) OP, "Real racers" don't race in Public! "Real racers" race with crews, "Real Racers" don't bump cars, "Real Racers" never turn on Ketchup, Aerodynamics, Traffic, Weather or anything that would exist in a real world race because then the fastest car wouldn't win all the time. Real Racers all have over 1000 wins and less than 10 losses, cause "Real Racers" pad all their stats by win trading and quitting out. We know this because "Real Racers" have told us this in all of the 1000 threads they've created about "real racing" Edited March 12, 2014 by jcph3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyBest Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Catch up sucks, as do the demolition derby drivers. Once I've got enough wins to mod the cars I will just be hosting with the right settings for some proper racing. If there are not enough people interested then I'll stop racing mmm chocolate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyharwood Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 catch up makes for an intense race between clean racers. be the host and kick anyone who spins you out keeps nailing your quarter panels. Keep the dirt in the GTA races. Not really, when you've managed to get ahead without people ramming you and some guy catches you and just rams you off. I know you can turn them off, but most people don't and when I host everyone moans because I disabled it, but it can kind of see where your coming from. Thanks for your opinion.

mareepx Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 it needs to be off by default in lobbies i hate catchup too, if i spend $1.3 million on a car and its upgrades, no-one should even come close in a stock car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinhero Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I personally don't mind it because how are you going to catch up to a fully modded adder with my fully modded infernus. It's not possible without catchup. Is there as an option to level the playing field between all the cars so it's not just added vs entity all the time and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelliparius Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My crew races 'real' and we don't pad races. we invite randoms and keep them in all day if they race clean. We don't trade losses. I'm 100/260. I try my damnedest. The only time we really use catch up is when we have friends whose cars are junk and whose levels are low. No sense leaving them out of the fun out of some FALSE SENSE OF ELITISM None of my crew has an unreal win/loss. Only one of us is even. he's something like 64/63 or vice versa. Most of us have way more losses than wins. At least .65 or so ratio. Although, personally a large majority of my losses (or lower than top3 were honestly due to being spun off the road by asshats that either do it on purpose or don't slow down on crazy turns. one more thing: slipstream is a real phenomenon. turning it off makes the race less real if anything. just warn the guy you're coming up on the left/right. if he blocks you decelerate and wait for a better chance.

DrDetroit Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Should be a racer thread (PS3 and XboX), for folks looking to race clean. You just never can tell who's in the mix when accepting invites from randoms. DrDetroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKush Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I just won a race due to catch-up, then lost a race due to catch-up. Its terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOILER. Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Catchup is made for the retarded people.. No srsly it's a sign the host is insure about him winning the race, thinking he/she can still catch up after failure, IMO. Also, the few good racers i meet dont race with catchup on (same would go for slipstream now). Some things i've noticed. MadHaTT3R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
