The kid of our neighbors have a max pro Hussarya and I got a chance to try it yesterday. I confirm it's much much much easier to drive compared to the max pro Vulcan.

And I didn't do a single ticket race with my 0500max 5050pro SLK after max proing my Vulcan. I did some free races though experimenting with 8800, 0800, 4804,0808, 0800 elite tunes. I find the 8800 elite tune more advantegeous if it's not a long straight map but the problem with the SLK is that noobs decide the outcome of the race too often. They understandably and invariably try to knock down any SLK they see at the start and if you're knocked down at the start it's becomes an easy kill for the other SLK drivers in the race. Although I'm very good in escape maneuvers and the SLK is highly resistance to knock downs, a determined, even suicidal noob in a Volt or in a Donkey can knock you down even when you do the perfect escape maneuver. Coz they are attacking from multiple directions.

And of course, there's also the problem of matching with SLKs tuned even 150 ranks or above yours which is a universal problem in MP except for max pro.

Those teleport glitches occur to me a lot also. It happens in RR3 as well. I heard people get away from their wifi to deliberately have a weak connection so they can be seen as jumping around in the race to the others. It really confuses others and causes them to crash if they're not careful. And what it more, since they keep teleporting they can't be knocked down! I've crashed twice while leading a race because of a teleporting ahole jumping back and forth of my car. And then I trained myself to concentrate on the track and totally ignore a teleporting car. Gameloft should just disconnect people if they don't have a good enough connection instead of teleporting them all over the place! RR3 by and large solved that problem but it's still the same in Asphalt. And I'm dead sure it's a loophole a lot of cheaters take advantage of. They can't get knocked down and they keep confusing and distracting their opponents.

I never got disconnected during a race so far in Asphalt. But there was a hack in RR3 where people would just disconnect you and win the race! It was fixed in RR3. So there might be a similar hack in Asphalt, especially if you get disconnected from a race for no apparent reason when there are gangs present as well.

By the way there's a glitch in Asphalt in Windows 10. Once you start the game you gotta do a couple of non MP races and it will freeze once. Once it freezes, you're much safer to do MP races and it won't freeze again until you restart the application.

And if your computer goes to sleep while Asphalt is minimized, you had better restart Asphalt otherwise it can crash right in the middle of an MP race. I've learned that the hard way and lost a lot of ratings.

And in order not to be caught in a track or in a lap number you don't want, you can suspend the game by minimizing the application and you'll get out of a lobby even if it's locked on you. But if you wait for too long, your ticket will be gone and you'll get the minus 10 disconnection penalty to your rating. I lost countless rating points because of this. Now I bail out out of a lobby if I'm not 99% sure a track that I want won't be chosen. I don't wait for too long. And if the lobby locks me in, I suspend the game immediately and both my ticket and my ratings are saved. I used to wait a little bit more but you lose too many tickets and rating points by suspending the game too late. As soon as you get locked in a lobby, if you're not very sure a track you want won't get picked you should suspend and bail out immediately.

That exploding in the middle of the track for no reason whatsoever happened to me as well. It's a very annoying glitch if it's not a hack by others. If it's a hack, it's even more annoying.

By the way, you should never touch your steering controls before a race otherwise you risk your car veering uncontrollably right or left at the start of a race. I've learned that the hard way as well so I touch them only when the race starts. That game is full of bugs.

But what annoyed me the most in racing my max pro Vulcan in MP were those MP4 31 users with the most dismal ratings possible!

I've lost 31 rating points for coming second in a race behind an MP4 31, and I lost 26 points in another again for coming second. Together with the mistimed bail outs from the lobby, I lost the most rating points to those MP4 31 users with the most dismal ratings in one lap races that favor them.

So when an MP4 31 is ahead of me, I consider disconnecting even if I'm second in a crowded race if I don't remember that MP4 31 user having a decent rating. I think they are mostly a by-product of the holiday season. They must be kids who got the MP4 31 as a holiday gift and who had saved enough CREs to max pro them. Hopefully they'll learn to drive it decently enough soon.

Thank God I lose to them only very very occasionally now that I master my Vulcan more and more. And I started memorizing the names of good MP4 31 users. Even they don't have much chance against me in a track that I mastered, especially in two laps. I catch and knock them out in most tracks in one lap.

I mastered the following tracks in my Vulcan so far. But I still avoid Dubai as it is full of MP4 31s and 25s and you risk getting knocked down too much at the start when there are too many of them.

French Guyana French Guyana Reverse Alps Alps Reverse London London Eye Westminster Bridge Barcelona Barcelona Reverse San Diego San Diego Reverse Nevada Nevada Reverse Dragon Tree Dubai

By the way how do you manage the MP daily goals like `complete 2 races in a Maserati` without ruining your ratings if you got so many tickets left? Do you refresh the daily task goal until you get one that you can do in one of your favorite MP cars?
