Back to school!!
Yeah, on casual the auto brakes kick in, who'd want that, I'll brake when I feel like it, I tried with auto brakes on(testing), finished race in first place a bit ahead around 1sec, tried with it off finished first with 2sec around.
Left the game. Its get boring after some races. And why the fking 5 races long tourneys?
2-3 races in one tourney was enough. Strictly not for people with limited time.
But I did enjoy the game while it lasted.

'racing line' is a self explanatory term.
its not about points, its about the ideal lines - entry & exit at turns. this way your lap /stage times come out good.
generally its for casual gamers & gamers new to the tracks.
try racing in hard mode w/o racing line & then with racing line ON, compare the times now.
btw, i hate the compulsory Gymkhana races :X

Yeah same here. I felt that too because only time I really used this was in night mode when draw distance don't help you to keep up with track.soumo27 said:
Bro I am having trouble playing at intermediate already and you want me to play on hard mode. I am not sure I'll be able to complete a lap to see the timings and compare them.s18000rpm said:

There is no team in this game till season 3 which I have completed. Liveries will be unlocked one by one after leveling up and you can select them right at beginning of the race.Skud said:Currently playing at intermediate. After completing, will go HARD.
But where are the options for liveries and team selection?

Currently playing at intermediate. After completing, will go HARD.

I achieve mostly 2nd/1st position in Intermediate. In hard mode, just the difficulty of the opponents are enhanced, and nothing more.
Liveries can be selected before starting the race. The system/interface is similar to GRID;
Well on a side note, why did this game copy tracks from FIFA 11 ?

I am in the 2nd season, and about to complete it.
You mean there are teams in Season 3 or 4?? And btw, where are those other drivers from DIRT 2. So far I've only met Ken Block, Tanner Foust and Md Ben Sulayeem 
. I miss their one-liners during the race.

No I mean there are no teams till season 3. I have only completed Season 3 so can't say what brings season 4.soumo27 said:
I have just completed my 1st season and here's my experience so far:-
1. Graphics wise pretty good, although quite a few glitches are there, some of them unpardonable:-
Otherwise textures are really good, lightning effects are awesome, and a snowy Aspen under lights looks like a dream.
2. Car handling is good and feel more rally-like compared to previous versions. Damage model has gone for a toss since Dirt and this game is no different.
3. Gymkhana mode immediately reminds me of NFS UG, a game I couldn't finish because of the drift races. Frankly speaking, I hate drifts etc. and it feels like Gymkhana mode might be a HUGE stumbling block in completing the game.
So overall, a pretty solid racer, still miles ahead than any NFS/Shift games IMO, but Codies are basically selling the same old wine in a new bottle every year. The rallying part has improved, but Gymkhana mode is a hit or miss affair. And the improvements, if any, over previous versions, is very thin in the air.
1. Graphics wise pretty good, although quite a few glitches are there, some of them unpardonable:-
- Water splashes have no effect on the car.
- Along the same line, static water droplets on the car. I mean really, this is 2011 graphics, right?
- Trees are still static, only the grass and bushes sway in air.
- Trees are ugly and looks like DX 8.1.
- Since the first Dirt, the dust build-up behind the car is muted compared to CMR series.
- Tessellation effects are not that good.
- Color palette is darker compared to Dirt 2.
- Terrain deformation is not great and plays no part in the drivability of the car. Remember Sega Rally?
- Water splashes are poorly rendered compared to Dirt 2.

Actually I am following this game since its first version and so much attached with it that I get disappointed even with very small shortcomings. Otherwise, I agree with you. For a racing game, where you have very little time to actually stare at the graphics, it is definitely the best.

Well water effects looks nice to me. I don't have any complain about game's graphics. I don't expect trees to move or something I just want them to be good looking. After all I am playing a racing game not a FPS or RPG for that matter.
