That's not rubberbanding, that's just golf.

I like how they casually slow down when you switch to the rear view, like "Nononono, we're not cheating!"

When the rubber band is a bungee cord.

It always feels good when the NPC rubberbands so hard that they crash

NFS underground ❌ NFS horror ✅

It's honestly kind of scary seeing on the map how fast they're gaining on you. Is this a horror game? lol

this is easily the most extreme case of NFS rubber banding i've seen, absolutely insane

As a villager, I assure that this is realistic depiction of how old hatchbacks drive on the countryside, especially when driven by young slavs.

It happened to me in Underground 2, not joking. I was racing in stage 2, finishing the URL with the corolla, and in the last lap, a car passed me flying, literally flying, in the SKY, and finished the race in the air, and I had to restart it all over again. I noticed that in Hard difficulty the AI starts to goes batshit crazy, it flies, it spins in the air, it TELEPORTS in front of you, damn...

Well, looks like EA has kept the same AI for "Kurt's Killer Ride" event.

2:48 Vtec kicked in

This is just normal rubberbanding for race 95 and 103

Holy sh I have no words. The final version was a blessing compared to this madness

They only tuned it down a little in NFSU2. Rubberbanding was crazy. Reminds me of that drag race clip where a civic zooms past you as you're going 180 mph

the ‘Dark Souls’ of NFS I’ve played so far

AI Rubberbanding has a real History in NFS Games. But there was a Case where i put that into use. In NFS Carbon i ordered Neville to Crash the Car behind me when i knew he would fail and Crash, and when he Rubberbanded back to me he smashed with sometimes 430kmh into the speed cameras, even with the RX8. (and if you played that you know this thing is slow af) The Speed of the Cameras were Added at the End of the Race and Boy, did Neville Smash the Competitors.

2:46 Teens when they finally get the money to mod the TDI they bought for $300

We need a AI Pov mod or something similar. Pretty much at the end of the campaign in some of those "eddies pose" races is this eclipse going nuts out of a long corner. Insane!

2:49 holy shit this part actually made me die of laughter! I know this is just a beta but how the hell did they think this level of rubberband was even remotely acceptable!? LMAOOO

2:48 I SAID I WANTED TO BE AN AIRPLANE GODDAMNIT

This man still won while Ai is on Steriods!!!

Catch Up™ System at it's finest. Oh boy I remember that infamous race of 6 Laps in Terminal circuit near to End game, and these guys rubberband insanely close to this.......

Just imagine a horror racing game when you start a race by yourself, but there’s a bunch of cars out of nowhere and trying to chase you down while you complete a lap.

The most perfect "Omae wa mo shindeiru" moment I've ever seen. Mostest perfectest.

One time when i was a kid i played NFS UNDERCOVER on ps2 everything was fine until the AI came from 2km away Passes me while i was going +400kmh just flew pass me and won i checked the max speed stats he reached 999kmh Dude broke 7 dimensions

Everyone is talking about the rubberbanding, but nobody is gonna talk about the background music going like: "woo hoo!"

*Rubberbands behind you* Nothing personal, kid.

Oh my god xD I just lost my self and started to laugh painfully when this 2:45 happened.

So, from what i got they were catching up behind you on 240+ MPH speed. Another proof that Golf GTI > Hypercars

''Golf is always the answer''- KuruHS probably

"Keep in mind that you need to have a PS2 emulator to play this." What about real hardware through disc burners or USB loaders? 🤔

- Boss, how much catch up mechanics do we want in the game? - Yes.

Making a good AI Making a bad AI with enough rubberband to put the AI's car on the moon Devs made their choice x)

Between 2:42 and 2:45 Just before the Omaiwa quote, Look at the map. Holy God Damn.

I hope there was a way to increase the rubberbanding bullshit-o-meter...that could get us to some fun shenanigans.

they are just flexing how they can overtake you while doing 360s

Yeah dude its not rubber band! he just replaced his engine with a jet engine that's what happened!

Never in my life have I paid attention to the mini map so much.

This is not rubberbanding this is multiverse of nfs 💀

What it's like to enable DRS

REMEMBER ME REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT WE USED TO BE CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART POUNDING, POUNDING

Underground: Only the last 5 seconds of a race count.

When the AI is bored from sitting on the disc too long

This catchup isn't too far off from the retail build of Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2 version) which was also made by Black Box. Absolute lunacy

I mean I've finished hard mode and it only took my entire sanity to do so. To know that they planned the AI rubberbanding to be as difficult as Kurt's Killer Ride hard mode for the entire game. Not even DS/Sekiro could compare to that.

It looks very crazy, how good that in the final version it did not come out so broken

It's like using a trainer with superboost

I find it funny that despite rubberbanding being this bad in a beta version, they still had it overtuned on release.

2:44 This Part is great, would be even funnier when they would reach the line before you like this. With the Meme together = perfect

I'm replaying this on ps2 and thinking to myself I have to be patient af lmaooo so many restarts because of these rubber banding physics

Looks like Volkswagen isn't just cheating with the emissions.

This is why I stopped playing NFS back in the day. It was 100% BS and so very obvious they did this to compensate for a shit AI. Being good in this game didn't mean shit to the AI. Never picked this back up. Also no idea why the algorithm put it in my feed, blessed be the almighty algorithm .

This is not rubberbanding anymore, this is bungiebanding!

The game is like "Dude i will throw you at the first place if your vtec doesnt kick in!"

That is the best case off rubber banding I have ever seen

3:02 red van didnt get released but instead was released in nfs underground 2 as a yellow van

Should see Kuruhs gameplay of the ps2 port of undercover " Most BROKEN Need for Speed Ever! - NFS Undercover for PC & PS2 | KuruHS " is the title of the video uploaded earlier today, shows a pc mod after the intro / almost the most ridiculous clip of the cops catapulting his supra into a win on the ps2 version.

Those AI cars had to speed up because they were just a little too SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW…

Gran for Speed The real rubberband simulator

rubberbanding - it's a miracle that allows cars to break supersonic barrier

These guys are capable of breaking the sound barrier with *rubberbanding.*

Holla back young’n! Woo woo!

I guess you can say the Black Box-made NFS games are some of the hardest, if not THE hardest in the entire franchise...

Recently played through Underground on hard mode and the rubberbanding did get quit on my nerves... But this is just abnormal holy crap.

When Vtec kicks in, 😂😂😂

Reminds me of the rubberband Ai in NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 and the remaster, ESPECIALLY with the cops. Manage to get more than 2 seconds ahead or spin the ai out? they'll literally snap back on the road and start catching up.

0:49 VTEC KICKED IN THAT HONDA YO EDIT: 2:48 LMAO

purple supra reminded me of nfs carbon own the city on DS. in the late game there are so many purple cars

Rubberbanding? No, u mean Catapulting LMAO. I cracked up after i saw that Golf launching itself xD

2:19 I wish that the AI would be like that on the final game

and i thought the rubberbanding in the final game was to much

This goes beyond rubberbanding, this is pure schizophrenia lol

Every car has VTEC in this game

Like ur edit style

Had a good laugh, I can tell you that 😂

When I was playing races in GTA 5 single player, the rubberbanding was almost the same, as soon as I touched the checkpoint all other cars got teleported to me immediately

i want to see that from the ai driven POV

And people say Most Wanted's rubber banding is bad

Nothing changed until today.

I swear, it feels like they go into panic mode :D

Reminds me playing against hackers in NFS World ngl. Nice!

I laugh so hard, this is fckng epic! Thank you MAN!

Volkswagen, das auto.

Nfs underground has aggressively rubberband since I was a kid I get tantrum so I figured it out I use miata has the best handling ever

In nfsu 2 it would regularly work in a way that the AI had an average speed higher than the top speed. Like average speed of 230 and top speed of 220. In races without rubberband such as street x, i would often win by 20-30 seconds on hard difficulty.

From what I can see, in the beta of this game things were more tense, thankfully at the time the final version didn't have all this rubber band

2:49 that explains why they were spinning like crazy in the minimap at 2:22

Bro activated warp speed. 💀

They just have the better gaming chair bro

This is the game we deserve!

I don't remember as a kid played NFSU 2003 on PS2 year 2003-2004. There was a Rubberbanding AI lol.

Almost PMSL, good meme, I r8 8/8 m8.

still looks damn good in 2022

AI: Time for turbo to catch that Supra.😁

I love the song

I knew it, it was never a me problem back in underground

"Where are you going, I did not finish"- NPC rubberbanding probably idk.

wow I remember noticing this back in the day, didn't know it was a thing D:

2:43 look at the map. *B R U H*

And we thought the final game's rubberband was crazy jeez
