ModNation Racers General Discussion

Wow, I never knew how hard it was to race after not racing for 2 months.  Talk about rusty!!

I'm trying now 1 or 3 races per day, so i'll not lose that much racing.

I agree.  I've avoided the game for long periods a few times now.  But you know, I feel like it has made me a better racer.  It actually makes me relearn certain things, go back and re-examine certain tracks, and break(more like forget) bad habits.

I'm probably in the same boat as you are mr. WIlson. I haven't been playing this game in over 2 months and I am taking it one step at a time.

lol i know the feeling, whenever i start back the controls always feel weird to me for some reason and i crash into walls alot but i always end up getting faster.

I'm starting to play Blops more because of lack of motivation to do anything in Mod.... but I still play occasionally. I find that I get better when I don't play as much; give my mind a chance to relax.... wait... I don't play that much anyway

I actually feel it's quite easy to pick up the controls even after a long break, if you're playing on a familiar track. However for a while my eyes can't keep up and the game "feels weird". I can't make any quick steering manouvres or I WILL go flying off track.

I agree that the controls have become rather burned into my mind. Didn't play for about 3+ months and hopped on for one series and everything still felt familiar.

1100+ hours of experience is pretty tough to lose hold of.

Some of you mentioned how it made you better after taking time off.  I wouldn't have thought it would make me better, but it is SOOO true!  Some bad habits broke, started drifting in certain tough areas where I usually never did before, maneuvering through those areas cleanly.  Amazing!  Beat some of my best lap times:  Under 50 seconds on Gridlock River, under 35 seconds on Dire Cliffs.  Time off is a good thing in the long run.
