CSR2, How to do well in A showdown with a slower car ??

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

if you have any showdown tips please reply to this pinned comment and let us know how you plan on doing well in this showdown events.

[@Lyndon2020]

Showdown: If I have time I use my best good car. If I don't have time I use the 2nd best and not focus on winning. When you use your good car again I usually win and the winning streak lasts to next milestone.

Guys now ford durty 30 available for 3950gold.

[@KatanaRIDERS.]

I dont have enough money i am getting money for my mustang gt premium do you think 300k is enough to max everything out? Hooe you reply

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

I have no idea how much game cash going to take you to your back something out,. for example you would have to keep buying and stripping those mustangs until you got enough fusion parts and stage 6 parts and it's random what it drops so it's very hard to say how many you will have to buy and strip to get all the parts for a car.

[@Dougdogg2004]

What works for me, is always pick the easiest car to achieve dyno or better times, constantly. Seems to match me up with racers that don’t beat dyno time more often.

[@joyridergaming]

Showdown tip: Always pick the fastest car u have, even if the shift pattern sucks, try to master it. Persevere and you'll succeed. Be patient as well. Patience breeds success so dont rage quit when u lose a race, never give up abd you will succeed👍

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Good tip joyrider

[@denesh_ramlall]

Those t4 cars in this event giving me motivation

[@jeefypro]

They shoud have made the prize car to atleast 1k points instead of 1.2k

[@sstutzjr1]

Danny, I've got the totally full YELLOW Hennessey F5 Concept. I bought it ($$$) for some past Flash Event. This car is a 5-purple star. Well, NM allows getting the RED F5 Concept to the SD, but not the Yellow one. NM is not serious, man!

Been playing for years and this showdown to win the Dutchboy Camaro was freaking difficult especially since I was up against mostly the Venom concept cars and I'm using a not maxed out exorcist that can't get below 8.00 seconds. However I did take your advice and was able to finally win the Camaro. Good tips Danny because usually I just race non stop until I get what I want but your way is less aggrevating..... Lol......thanks brother 👍

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Yeah too many fast cars getting late starts and holding us back. I think that's what's going on here it is a very hard showdown

[@carnage_gmd4524]

The way I do showdowns when I have a slower car is I do them in 3 seperate sessions, and this usually helps me get far in showdowns. My first showdown session I start a day after the showdown starts, 2nd session I start 3 days later, and my 3rd session I start when there’s around 1-2 hours left of the showdown. This usually works for me.

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Interesting thank you

[@alwayspete]

Up to how many trophies do you reach when you do it in 3 sessions? And how many consecutive races do you race in one session? Is a session a day? As a new player, I also have to ask are the trophies saved when one showdown ends and I start the next showdown with the previous number of trophies? Thanks bud! Pete :”)

[@Lyndon2020]

Awesome, great tip. Thanks Danny. Consistency pays off

[@mykeelevated]

Youre the best brutha! Might have to pass on this showdown but the tips will set me up for the future ones. Also your tips can translate to life advice!! Stay motivated, walk away and come back some days, and stay consistent don't get discouraged. I need that all in game and in life 🤣 Appreciate your content as always. *Sneeze break made me lol

[@acjjones2981]

I needed this kinda video.. the showdowns are hands down the most frustrating part of the game for me! Thanks DL.. 👍🏾

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Yeah the showdowns are definitely a pain in the butt. But usually even if I have a yellowish car I can usually make it to at least amount of trophies to get the prize. So hopefully it helps everybody else out as well

[@acjjones2981]

Danny Lightning it always does DL. You the man👊🏾

[@nitrospitfire6345]

Untested Theory: take the best car you have, in the placement races don't use the launch button, intentionally miss shift and don't use the Nitro unless you risk to finish way behind the AI's cars. Try to finish first with the slimmest difference possible. in this way the AI will think that you are much slower then in reality and it place you in a lower grup giving you the possibility to win more races until you'll face tough opponents.

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

I assume you're talking about The showdown placement races, I don't think it really matters what your car runs and those things, you'll still get the same results from what I have found

[@nitrospitfire6345]

@@Danny-Lightning-CSR CORRECT!!! I partially tried this method once ( in the placement races ) and some AI opponents came 3-5 seconds ( or even more) after I finished. I don't know if it was just something accidentally or the NO LAUNCH+miss shift thing really meaned something... That's why I said "untested" 2 times partially worked doesn't mean that it will work for sure

[@OkiKeren]

Just like you suggested, I usually start early and race as far as I can. Usually getting to 500 to 600 trophies. And then I race for 100 trophies after every one or two free crates and daily battles. I stop after getting an S6 parts (for elites) or prize car.

[@RestingBeachFace721]

So here I am playing and the update 2.15 drops. I go to update it and afterwards the Ford cup prize crate is all a sudden locked even though I pulled 6 times before the update since it's the Ford Cup and only needed 1 more pull for an S6 part for my GT Heritage Edition ( the ugly blue & orange Ford that one). Then it says you can't use the T5 Heritage Edition the one with 5 purple stars. You can only use the 66 Heritage Edition. It's black & costs 4,000 Gold!! They're nearly identical!! How shady Natural Motion. That's dirtyyyyyy

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Lately it seems like they've been doing a lot of crappy stuff with the events and show down cars and whatnot,. I don't know what their deal is but I do not like it either

[@elivenable7505]

Love you vids man keep em comming

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Thank you 😀

[@choiyeager]

I'm the one who lose race for lower player to win after i won prize car. ☮️

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

That's very nice, I think a lot more people should do that,. I plan to do the same after I hit my 1200 trophies.

[@darrelstieben5149]

Never ever have I experienced the “losing steak” thing. I run the minimum races per day per event. Like for the LA showdown for the days available I picked how many race rewards I wanted and I do 50 a day. For the Purple Elite showdown I run 67 a day. Once you max out your trophy count for the times you run for your car you average 2/5 wins. It isn’t about them giving you losing streaks it’s about whether or not your driving your car to its potential on a consistent basis. I am not the best shifter out there by far, but I stay in the top 10k to maximize my event rewards when it is over. If you want more tips, just message me.

[@lylespeed2821]

Again we thank you good advice👍👍

[@OllieScambaiter]

Completely disagree with the idea of stopping when you have a losing streak. It will balance out eventually in any session, even on one tank of gas. You'll make it further, then lose a couple, win a few, go back a few. We know that as more people participate with cars of all manners of performance, you will naturally progress. This is a combination of more participants at multiple tiers, as well as the crates that are available for mid-event upgrades. Most importantly, you're completely ignoring participation rewards! There are 500 races to complete for maximum participation rewards, over about a week. It's impossible to get all these rewards if you're doing 20 showdown races a day, or even 40 a day if you're doing multiple showdowns simultaneously. But you can get all these rewards even if you lose every race. It's called the grind.

[@nathan199982]

I’d recommend racing day 1 to get as far as you can if you have a slow car race it on day 6 you should be able to easily get the 1200 trophies

[@theenigmazz2352]

Hey Danny, In the Showdown coming up I have an M4 coupe which is the car I used in T3 (527 + 25) that they say is allowed but looking at the other cars there’s only 3-4 T4s and everything else is T5. Is there any point trying it with this or should I just wait until I’m at a stage where I have a better car to use in a showdown?? (New player on free to play)

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Okay on showdowns there's all kinds of prize that you can get and some of you get even if you don't win so it's worth it to do as many showdown races as you can get in just to get some of the prizes. That Is my opinion

[@theenigmazz2352]

@@Danny-Lightning-CSR Thank you for the speedy reply! My crew mates said a similar thing as you, just do as many as possible and hope you get a few cheeky wins along the way :D, feels good to be apart of a community that helps the newer players again!!

[@mikeoxmaul_2121]

So I came across numerous comments on Facebook stating that people kept on asking which car is 'good' or no 'good'. So I would like to clarify on this whether is there such thing as 'good' or no 'good' cars in CSR2 ? 😬🤔

[@durgasaipranavtalupula4758]

does it take gas to play showdown, even if we lose?

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Every time you run a race it takes one little fuel pip, unless it's one of those relay races that require several cars during an event sometimes those might take two or three gas but just one single race will take one single gas no matter what type of race you do

[@jessecochran7964]

The fact that you cant use the purple star venom f5 concept is ridiculous

[@ahandlebar]

I do every showdown on the last 2 days, its extremely easy

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

that's a good way to do it but if you didn't realize That kind of hurts the newer players who have slower cars,. if you have fast cars and you get a late start like that it keeps a lot of newer players from being able to level up and get the prizes,.

[@mikealias2750]

So far, I'm using a 66 heritage, running about 9.2 Ive done 100 races and have a little over 600 trophies. Feels like I should have more trophies, what's your opinion?

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

I'm right around the same boat as you are it's only day three so we still have time,. The issue is a lot of people with a faster cars don't always start out on the first or second thing so we still got to deal with some of the those people who have fast cars in there getting late starts at the event,. I still think we should be able to get the Fry's car before this thing is over

[@alwayspete]

Hey Danny, what’s up man! As a new player, I’ve got you a question. 😁 A showdown lasts for 2 weeks right? So as you’ve said, if I only do 2 races per day, that’ll be 30 races in full. Doesn’t a showdown have way many races than that? So how do I get through the showdown playing in this fashion? I don’t understand, sorry man. 🙂 Are our trophy levels saved when the next showdown begins? Does it work that way? So we eventually get to the last race? Thanks Danny as always! Pete :”)

[@clxyyy]

Danny, do you think I will be able to get the prize car with a 8.5 sec car?

[@Chappy31x]

Since NM wants $10 for an instant Gold crate pull, the $55 combo is a good deal. That's if you don't have any of those cars. I look at it it's only $12 a car x 4 and the $7 for cash and gold coins( helps me sleep at night😁) You know what your buying and not taking a chance( gambling) on gold crates. After all that I said, CSR2( Casino Slots & Racing Too) is still overpriced!

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

yeah I mean that's not a bad deal at all if you can afford it unfortunately not everybody can I mean the media $50 on some cars is huge,. Now what they would offer single cars for like 10 bucks I might buy a car every once in awhile I could afford that occasionally but I can't drop large chunks of change on these games. but yeah I mean that's really not a bad deal for what you're getting if you got the dough

[@GSR409]

Hi Danny I don’t get it because I have the gt heritage edition prize car and I have the yellow venom gt concept and I can’t choose any of those cars to race the showdown. Any thoughts??

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

The heritage GT is actually a different car and I don't know why one of the venoms is allowed in the other one is not,. but unfortunately there's really nothing you can do if you don't have one of the cars that are on the list. I wish I had a better answer for you but unfortunately that's pretty much how it is

[@GSR409]

Danny Lightning thanks Danny, I don’t get why the gt heritage is different than the one we won. It looks the same. That’s a rip off!!! At least I won some prizes with the mustang guy and my venom gt concept

[@Rale85]

Unfortunately there is no crates for this showdown

[@GSR409]

Hey Danny, what makes you finish high up in the standings on the showdowns. Do you get points for just racing a lot of races or is it winning races that gets you higher up in the standings.

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

you actually have to win races to get off on the leaderboards it goes by the amount of trophies you win and you only win trophies when you win a room but there are a bunch of little prizes you get even if you win or lose races so even if you have a slow car it's worth doing some to get as much as you can

[@GSR409]

Danny Lightning thanks Danny, I have never known how to climb up the ladder in showdowns. Well I usually never get past 1200 or 1300 . I don’t know how these guys get so high

[@officialchris6142]

Danny I have a venom f5 concept and it’s almost fully upgraded and has many fusion parts.. however I lose to every car even t4 cars and I’m getting perfect launch and shifts.. what do I do?

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Are you in live racing are you in showdowns?? You need to get more details when asking a question like this and KZbin's pretty bad at notifying me of replies so if you replied this I may or may not see it,. if you're in live racing and it used to be people and it's been pushed into a faster lobby because you won too many races,. If it in showdown then there's just playing people who have faster cars than you who have around the same amount of trophies as you do

[@movingforward1981]

I’m running 8.9 and I can’t get above 900 trophies at the moment, I don’t think 1200 trophies will be attainable unless you hit at max 8.5 seconds

I hit a thousand with a 9.1 car today,. Are you losing a bunch of racist in a row before you stop? Like I say if you lose three it's time to come back later. It usually works well for me

[@movingforward1981]

Hi Danny, have you ever experienced a 24hr ban for suspected cheating? If so did you contest it and was it resolved before the 24hrs? Thanks

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

I have not but sometimes they do band players by mistake, I know a lot of people that it has happened to and if it's just a 24-hour ban I wouldn't really worry about it, I mean you could contact support and complain but usually that doesn't do much good because your account will be on band and you'll be playing again in a couple of days But sometimes even if you did not do anything wrong they're anti cheat system flags you for some weird reason so it's not perfect unfortunately and it doesn't happen that often but it does happen from time to time

[@nellielodelschwanck7861]

I like to be honest so I dont give false hope to viewers. No way you will win using a T4 car. You may get to 800-900 trophies but thats it. NM said they match you with similar trophy count but your race time does get in the algorithm as well. Remember when T3 C63 was in purple sd? I used it running 13s and got only as far as 900 and then it matched me vs T5 8s cars I cant possibly win. When there is a mix of tiers, use the top most tiers. FYI am using Red F5 missing 1 epic and can only get to 1600 trophy at 1-2k rank am running high 6.9s to low 7.0s. All the higher ranks are maxed F5 running low 6.9s and many hacked maxed Kam Havoc (maxed after 3 days the car got into the season? Where do they get all 7 s6?). I remember having maxed Cobra Jet, maxed Huayra BC etc but at most have only reached 2.7k. I have also tried maxing the car slowly e.g. apex car Maserati LB GT Stradale till its maxed but only managed 1.7k. My tune and shifting are fairly decent. Its the algorithm. Matchmaking sucks. Period. E.g. how can too many faster 8s car running against you running 10s at 1500 trophy when they are apex cars and should be at 2500 trophy? Thats why NM's SD will be BETA foreva!!!

[@Danny-Lightning-CSR]

Oh I've seen some people end up winning these prizes or at least claim to win the prizes with cars that were not all that fast,. I've seriously seeing 10 11 and 12 second cars get to the 1200 trophies on some of these events,. The main problem seeing lately is a lot of the guys who have the faster cars are starting late and they're holding back the players with the slower cars when they used to always start on the first day and move up and up and up in the trophies and that made it much easier for the slower players to hit their marks well the last couple of showdowns I'm noticing more and more of the faster cars with lower trophies because they've decided to wait till the last couple of days so it would be easier for them but they're screwing over everybody else. So what people would stop doing that it might be pretty easy but so far this showdown and I'm seeing a lot of people starting late with the really fast cars and that sucks

[@nuncyosa]

Well, your advices are yours, but they don't apply to the reality. First race, against AI : lost. Why ? Game crashed. First race then against real player : level 1893, using the Venom F5 Concept full built. Lost again. Second race against a real player, same car, same build, same lost. Pause. 2 hours later, I tried again : 3rd race lost, same full build car. 4th race lost, same full build car. So no, certainly not, your advices are yours, but they're not efficient. Try hard is the only solution

[@nuncyosa]

Well, clearly your advices are (sorry) total bullshit. I got the Venom F5 Concept full 6 parts, tuned and I got the perfect shift patern. I didn't win a fcking race since yesterday, over 40 tries. 100% of fake accounts & cheaters.
