In This one, I'll go in and describe the new shortcut found in the New York hypercar event along with the fact that the previous short but, the famous 82%, has been removed and patched. But I will also discuss the odd circumstances surrounding the update.

Shortcuts are fine in PvE, but if you're actually racing against another human who hasn't memorized 10 different shortcuts it isn't fun or fair for anyone.

[@Thexorex]

Yeah I'm that type of player but when I beat players with the vw beetle or kombi it doesn't really matter anymore since there will be a significant amount of time difference even if I don't take the shortcuts.

[@theanimeotaku2794]

The game has been out since 2018

[@eeggg9953]

@@theanimeotaku2794 i have been playing since 2018 and only know like one shortcut

[@theanimeotaku2794]

@@eeggg9953 then you suck or are partial blind

[@ACo0ps]

I agree. The difference is whether you cared enough to KZbin shortcuts or not hahaha. Defeats the object of good racing 🏁

[@IRainyRoses]

The rock was always there, but it didn't have collision enabled, the shortcut right after this one also had a rock that had 0 collision and they added collision to that one too, it makes the shortcut harder but still doable.

[@MrJdblanco17]

If you look closely, they actually added a smaller rock next to the larger one, which isn't visible at the speed the car its going. But if you slow down you can see it.

[@Thexorex]

I find another way to take the short but its a different route you just need to turn in beetween the trees a bit earlier and avoid a bush where a rock hides.

[@Thexorex]

@@shayclay2721 Well there is another way to take it

[@Thexorex]

@@shayclay2721 Just read the comment I posted above

[@NMSSN]

Now i'm curious to see how it can work with a gemera/regera and off-road speed bug (clutch + manual shift) doing NY hypercars with the same shortcut... Especially going through railway shortcut (26-30%) at 350 kph offroad 🤣🤣🤣

[@berkkarsi]

I loved showing the 82% shortcut to new Crew 2 players and watch them lose their minds.

[@GDO9099]

Same, I’d be like follow me and then they’d just see me drop off the cliff and when they followed and landed it would just be like I WANNA DO IT AGAIN lol

[@GlowintheDarkWolfy]

makes me miss 82% shortcut even tho i dont play no more

[@Batman_83]

I'm actually okay with this. But what I'm hoping for the most is they reset all leaderboards. Get rid of all those glitched times and speeds.

[@alvinalcasas888]

My thoughts exactly. Im sure some of those are leftover from long ago, like before the wallride patch

[@ghostdragon4718]

Oh that's too much work, it'll never happen. They'll just rework races for less shortcuts to further push those records ahead

[@sussysenpai1712]

I think the memorisation gives a new skill level.

[@BlueNitroTiger]

I also saw a lot of cheaters in the leaderboards too even in skill events, I tried to make a speed record on a speed trap in a racetrack in New York but I can’t beat the world record and found out that the fastest time didn’t make any sense and wondered how they did that.

[@FfReAkDude]

@@ghostdragon4718 it happened after they removed wallriding. My friend and me were in place 1 and 3 in the world and our times were removed

[@QuirkyAvik]

I don't take shortcuts but never had any issues with them, I only wanted a separate time for those that stayed on track and those that didn't so that I could see what the timings are if you play like I do.

[@tooncruyff4365]

I just love new york how it was before, exploring and mastring the short cuts. I think that is part of the race and the game

[@arjan.5228]

True. I told people the same story. New York is New York. With the nice shortcuts. They destroy the race and i dont like New York anymore. I know it is only 30 sec different but it was always fun

[@NinetyFiveBravo1775]

If it was part of the game, they wouldn't have checkpoints, only a start and finish line letting you map your own course. Lol the checkpoints are there for a reason....its the route they wanted you to take. Shortcut is another word for cheating. You're cheating time.

[@Comfy_Coffee]

@@NinetyFiveBravo1775 Not really, they are 2 different things. Cheating is when you exploit the game in some way for your own benefit, but you're the only person gaining anything. Exploits make games easier and many times more fun! Just look at Overwatch and how they handled Mercy's Super Jump. Instead of disabling it they made it a feature, which allows you to easily escape or gain a better position. The difference is that exploits allow everyone to use them, it's just a matter of knowing how. Removing shortcuts is idiotic because it removes the fun factor. Everyone wants to somehow shorten/make the most of what you have, and removing that doesn't help, unless Ivory adds their own shortcuts (which they easily could).

[@Comfy_Coffee]

No one likes to just follow the road or do the same objectives, people like to add variety to their experience, literally Skyrim's weird glitches and bugs are so popular people don't mind them because they make the game more ridiculous

[@speedcorejihad8978]

@@NinetyFiveBravo1775 Shortcutting is a way to exploit the lack of well placed checkpoints like the reset exploit if it´s cheating u could get bannd for that but u don´t cause its exploiting only Video games Main article: Cheating in video games In video games, cheating can take the form of secret access codes in single-player games (such as the Konami code) which unlock a bonus for the player when entered, hacks and exploits which give players an unfair advantage in online multiplayer games and single-player modes, or unfair collusion between players in online games (such as a player who spectates a match, removing limitations such as "fog of war", and reports on enemy positions to game partners). Attitudes towards cheating vary. Using exploits in single-player modes is usually considered to be simply another form of exploring the game's content unless the player's accomplishments are to be submitted competitively, and is common in single-player games with a high difficulty level; however, cheating in multiplayer modes is considered immoral and harshly condemned by fair players and developers alike. Cheating allows casual players to complete games at much-accelerated speed, which can be helpful in some cinematic or single-player games, which can take a subjectively long time to finish, as is typical of the Role-Playing Game (RPG) genre. While this may be seen as a hasty advantage causing no damage to anyone, in a multi-player game such as MMORPGs the repercussions of cheating are much more damaging, breaking the risk/reward curve of the game and causing fair players to lose online matches and/or character development. Cheating in those types of games is generally prohibited - though often widespread anyway. In many circles, the purchasing of items or currency from sources outside the game is also considered to be cheating. The Terms of Service from many games where this is possible directly prohibits this activity.[citation needed] One area where there is little consensus involves modern free-to-play business models which support and are supported by the exchange of real-world money for in-game services, items, and advantages. Games that grant excessive advantages only available to paying customers may be criticized as being 'Pay to win' - sometimes considered a form of "cheating" that is actually legitimatized by the system - whilst games that limit real-money purchases to cosmetic changes are generally accepted as fair. Another form of video game cheating is when a player does things to interact with game objects that are unforeseen by the programmers and break the intended function or reward system of the object. This can involve the way enemies are encountered, objectives met, items used, or any other game object that contains a software bug. One common example is the exploitation of errors in an enemy's pathfinding; if a player can cause an enemy to become "stuck" in a given terrain feature, that player can then usually kill the enemy from a distance without risk, even if much stronger, and achieve greater rewards than the player is intended to be able to at that level of progression. Another example was common in early first-person shooter games and involved skipping a weapon's reload timer by quickly switching weapons back and forth without actually reloading the weapons, resulting in what was effectively instant reloading. It also can be accomplished through means of altered game files substituted for the normal files, or image graphics changed to permit greater visibility of the targets, etc. - for example, replacing the colors on a dark-colored enemy intended to blend in with the background with a bright color permitting instant visibility and targeting. Generally speaking, there is often some concern that this is not truly cheating, as it is the fault of the programmers that such an exploit exists in the first place. However, technically, as with live sports, it is cheating if the player is not playing the game in a formally approved manner, breaking unwritten rules. In some cases, this behavior is directly prohibited by the Terms of Service of the game. short•cut 1. a shorter or quicker way to get somewhere. 2. a method, policy, etc., that reduces the time or energy needed to accomplish something. xxD Cheers

[@Fat_Pochita]

To me, shortcuts were a key part of street racing in the crew 2, seeing it go is mixed feelings, yes in pvp that’s ok but pve? That’s just not right

[@YamnielPMC]

3:12 Ahh yes my favorite rally raid event…new york

[@GDO9099]

Watch out you gonna give goobisoft ideas for a new crossover event

[@JayInTheGreen]

New York, but Hovercraft only.

[@Zerdical]

that's the joke...

[@laxomaxo1773]

I belelive it shouldnt got removed. It was uniqe and another reason why I love the crew is you always don't need to stay on the road all time. Imagine if they remove more short cuts than already like then it wouldn't be as exiting. well that's my opinion on it

[@AceYT_FN]

They removed the 81% shortcut

[@boester69]

I'm actually kind of a purist, enjoy the track driving and US Tour races a lot, for the sole reason they are limited in where you can go off. Been playing this game for years and only just now found this video, and am astonished of all the possible shortcuts that I haven't found myself yet. I've been busting my ass on New York for weeks on end grinding for money, and getting better and better at it, and still not getting close to the leaderboard top

[@edey6974]

Now that I live off of summits it does not bother me as much anymore, it would have been more annoying a couple of months ago. However it is still going to be a pain for players who still grind it

[@impulse3679]

I did a New York not knowing they removed it and got screwed over lol

[@ArthurBrassaert]

Am I the only one who thinks ivory tower should put the New York race in a summit? I think it could lead to some interesting rankings, and it would be a lot of fun.

[@GDO9099]

Not me because it not only takes so long to do but also if you mess up once you’d have to restart if you were going for a clean/good record. Also it was in the Forever Ferrari summit

[@GDO9099]

On the other hand, no traffic. I think it’d be good only if it was no traffic, players in ghost, and sunny the whole time

[@ngx_behemoth]

Technically it has been before. Two older summits called Forever Ferrari and Coast To Coast had new york as an event.

[@Epicleo2000]

Yeah id love that, I'm already top 100 in new York

[@5.56Warrior]

They just made one

[@Sarahhedger]

Some Shortcuts do take skill cause I know all the New York shortcuts but still I can never get the times others do 😂

[@AloneGhostii_]

It was a matter of time when they will change it. We all knew they will do it. Just not when. But! 80% of the Shortcuts give u Little to no time in NY ... 82% Shortcut gave you 1.15 - 1.30 better Time!

[@arjan.5228]

Max 40 sec different

[@GDO9099]

That’s a big difference though

[@sneakysnake7695]

Watching motorsports has opened my eyes more to time difference, 1 second is a car's length between 2 cars 40 is basically a football field or 2 so that's a pretty big difference

They just have to know by now that everytime They try to patch a shortcut we always find a new one lmao

[@reginaldgriffin4978]

Hey sid the "new" short cut in new york been there since the beginning. This was the cut I use to take before the infamous 82% went viral. I honestly don't see why they "patch" short cuts when it's already too many cuts to take. I wish they put my dream car the 2002 camaro z28 on here and put back the "flying nitrous" affect

[@jackmurray1466]

this is so depressing, i discovered this shortcut on my own and ive done it since the first time i did new york. new york used to be my favorite track for money making so i truly mastered it. 2019 me would be outraged

[@1998lemuel]

The handling of the game still feels disgusting to me even after all this time D; I wish they'd update it or something

[@GDO9099]

Look up tuning if you still play

[@1998lemuel]

@@GDO9099 Oh man, you don't know how much I've tried to like the game... there's a Official(?) discord server for TC2 and they got a whole spreadsheet of tuning for each and every possible cars in the game. I've played this game at release date up until the update where they first added the motorpass. I was there in the forums providing bugs and glitches that I found. Suggested few changes to handling but Idk where that went. The game still feels the same the day I left it. I Installed it recently cuz apparently they added the VMAX and I wanted to try it in the game. Tuning doesn't really do anything on how janky the arcade handling they have on the game. It has this weird arcadey handling that I just can't get used to no matter how long I've played the game. It was better in the beginning and a few "balances and fixes" later it all went to shit.

[@lambohalen8796]

I like how at 0:07 his voice was in sync with the cars lol

[@carbonx0718]

I really like the fix. The 82% was a big run killer. The shortcut was just to rng for me. But it's sad that there is now a small 82% shortcut at ca. 83%... In general I don't like big or absurd shortcuts. I am only fine with small cuts which everybody can easily do.

[@conorstewart2214]

I’m fine with small shortcuts like cutting a corner or something like that, but jumping down a mountain is a bit too much in my opinion.

[@jabiddo]

my legit time on NY HYPERCAR is 30 mins without shortcuts (except for one near the start)

[@Elevated618]

I understand them getting rid of the respawn short cuts I never used them anyway They should of left New York alone that sucks so bad and now there probably goin to patch more please tell them to remove the added check points for New York and leave it be Sid I just learned the damn short cuts

[@Typzical]

Nothing like adding a rock to makes us drive for .800 of a second longer

[@arturpetrov1097]

Ahh this is so sad, well at least now I wont have to worry about messing up when doing the shortcut because it is impossible now

[@hardtailnation3260]

With the New York race I can understand putting in new check points, but what is up with them erasing your best time. I worked hard to get a 28 minute run an know it’s just gone that sucks

[@christiantucker-allen7264]

Yeeeah I was doing that new skip by default because landing off the larger jump became unreliable and I kept dying and sending me all the way to the top.

[@Ryzza5]

Do you think there might be a technical limit to the number of checkpoints that can be added to any race?

[@matteodesigns5704]

i love how he's talking about gran turismo players just like gran turismo players talk about simracers

[@magmaxp1824]

Even with it patched I replayed it and got an even better time than I did with the 82% shortcut

[@K3b1bisLtu]

This doesn't effect me all that much, i only take small corner cuts at most.

[@frankgrunow82]

I dont get why they do this now, i mean this game is short before dead. All sooner players had that advantage and all new players that buy the game now had this hard grind. My biggest problem with the crew is, why are the so less long races, they have this huge map and there are only one or two long races. Instead of adding new races with there seasons they only adding some bling bling and mostly boring cars in the hope new players buy it with real money. Get us more long races or kill the game and launch the crew 3! Sorry about my english, i'm from germany. Greetings.

[@fishblade2]

It’s also the fact that shortcuts mean faster money which means YOU DONT SPEND REAL MONEY. just more game companies grabbing at every way to the extra cents they can.

[@Jarhead_]

I always found the red rock Harley Davison the best money grinding race

[@Danielson_1]

Didn't even know there was this many shortcuts in New York.

[@electron_shell]

Good on Ivory Tower for discouraging the kind of playstyle you encourage on your channel. Shortcuts off the track, intentional track resets, repeating one event ad nauseam.... that's not how the average player wants to enjoy games, and I'm glad the dev doesn't want their game to be played the way you play it. Where's your love of cars, your passion for moto and driving? Seems all you care about is how to game the system to get rich. I wish the tone of your channel would change. Update: Sid, I appreciate we got the chance to speak, and apologies again for generalizing. It was nice to have a gentlemens discussion follow from an anonymous youtube comment. I don't know what your future holds or what's important to you in life, but I hope you find a way forward that satisfies you. In the meanwhile, unsolicited advice, go ahead and stack money until you figure it out. If its accounting, or whatever you can do that pays well, go ahead and start it, start earning that money and invest it in yourself while you wrestle these existential conundrums into submission.

[@hokiturmix]

reset back to roads with high risk factor some places is good. When you reset back to the closest road is bad. some shorts are good only to avoid traffic. Some cars will explode on the big jump but Buggatti only problem is when you bounce back from trees or land upside down and no way to stop the slide....

In Fresno they got rid of the gas station and replaced it with a garage instead.

Today 2 months later in New York race a lot of things have changed I used to know a big short cut that somewhere you can jump off a cliff and go from 70% to 80 and I would save me so much time but it got patched and I always thought the creator would do that because he wants us to actually do the race and not cheat

[@ianbrown7528]

they should patch the no traffic glitch aswell as the short cuts nd rest the boards

Man I thought it took a wrong turn when I played it again and there were some new checkpoint which I did not remember

[@LouiePrice203]

What about the new York race

[@sterry3535]

would be nice if they keep patching shortcuts, the least they can do is to increase the $ you get from these races. Bc nobody got time for them........to put in 30-40min then hit a wall and everybody passes you. The effort>reward ratio is pretty low in general. I guess we'll always have the chill Harley Davidson race to do

[@alvinalcasas888]

The rubber band bs is so annoying. I can go from two minutes ahead to dropped down to fifth after minor mistakes, like grazing a wall on a few sharp turns, or slamming into one side of a break in the guard wall

[@sterry3535]

@@alvinalcasas888 Exactly which is why I stopped doing long HC races. I was only doing NY because it had the highest win rate due to the old shortcuts. Now I just log on do some Summit races/motorpass challenges and not worry about grinding for money. If I ever see a bundle I like, otherwise I hoard on the $ and let it sit there.

These shortcuts are the main reasons why i love Forza Horizon way more then Crew 2 no exploits no shortcuts just pure racing

[@primegengamer3035]

So I found out a short cut at 12:28 if u keep going straight onto that road you want to grind on the left wall intill u see a river once u are above that do back on track and u are on the highway pointing in the right direction.

Kinda in my opinion if they wanna make a leaderboard without any shortcuts because they dont want to have them. They should make a leaderboard where people can play with completely no use of shortcuts and a leaderboard for people who wants to take shortcuts its maybe a hard system to implant into the game but it could be a problemsolver

[@BubblesMcNair]

If they are removing shortcuts, then they should purge world records that use these shortcuts, because then it's not fair as you can't use the shortcuts anymore

Ive been playing this game for years and I’ve never heard of these short cuts😭

[@blakedmc1989RaveHD]

u know i don't like tha change, but what they shoulda done instead was make it a Risk=Reward for tha big shortcut where u can nail it on a jump without a Back on Track (respawn) glitch and make it to punish respawn abusers to reset them back to tha 82% mark instead!

[@vsote]

i mean i like driving like alot but jesus it took me about 20 mins to drive to la from florida

actuallly im surprised bc i used that shortcut before bc the 82 shortcut didnt work welll for me

[@badrepputation]

I think apart of the fun of the crew 2 is the freedom you get, both in races and out. Removing these shortcuts just doesn't make sense if one of the crew 2s selling point is the freedom, it just goes against what they've esatblished.

[@Lucky_Logan]

I wish forza horizon did something like this game and add on motorcycles, the huge free roam is the only thing I like about this game. But the physics is what I don’t like.

[@ar3klis]

just run new York yesterday and noticed the change. I always assumed the hill jump shortcut was intentional, if anything due to having a suspiciously convenient exit hole to the side wall so as to take a turn right after the checkpoint. It is a pity they are patching it as I considered shortcuts like this as something that could help me hone my skills.

Why haven’t the leaderboards change

Im a Gran turismo Player and i Raced a friend WHO Knows all the shortcuts but isnt able to Drive that good, that means Skill is better than shortcut without Driving good.

Dude jus' yesterday I was returning to farm New York for monies then on my way to the cut, it changed I was super pissed😡

[@RioZLander]

if people want short cuts here's my take on it. make it a feature. I got the game on the summer steam sale and the 1st race with the fiat sleeper race in LA. it took a short cut and my brain went right in to midnight club mode. I like the more outlandish short cuts they put in for jumps and stuff so why not do that and make it a challenge.

[@maus3754]

19:50 ayo sid this me? lol anyways but yeah i really hate the squiggly roads especially up a mountain or something cuz sometimes theres a lot of trees and you cannot even skip them you are FORCED to take that road

[@samoerai6807]

Im kinda dissapointed they removed the good old 82%. To me shortcuts are what makes open world games fun. Its what makes it different from not open world racing games like asseto corsa and F1. Also the big jump was the most fun part of the whole race? Maybe its just me but i love flying cars jumping from mountains like they are planes xD

[@ReiCaixa]

This game is in a weird spot. I'm a car guy and gamer. I Played TC1 and loved it. Fucking cried on The Crew 2 trailer. Played the damn Alpha. Bought the best edition before it was even released. Played for a week, sometimes later, but it got boring so fast...

[@kelbinhow]

I don't have a problem with shortcuts, even those crazy ones, hell, I even began doing it myself. The only problem I see and which I really don't like it, is how a shortcut run gets no review and ends up in the leaderboard. That's not fair as to how the game's supposed to handle WRs. When it comes to PB or single player times, it's ok, you do it the way you want it, the game is yours and you have fun however you feel like it. Just when it comes to sharing and overcoming other people's times it begins to be unfair.

[@primarchayanamisrequious7946]

I never knew about this. A month ago, I was racing some chump in the New York Hypercar Race, and I would constantly see him go off the original highlighted paths and get ahead of me. Needless to say I was pissed because I believed he cheated and won. I didn't know about all these shortcuts until now.

[@Martelinho40K]

I liked. The 'times' from every single event, should be about skill and driving, and not about shortcuts.

[@Reu1027]

Yeah but it's also really cool when people think out side the box and find shortcuts to make the fastest time possible.

[@speedcorejihad8978]

Yes i agree i didn´t liked that shortcutting in tc1 too its an unfair advantage against all casual player if they do that in their Lobbies with friends who all knows the cuts then its ok but in pvp or summit its anoying af xxD Cheers

[@lilithspicynugget]

Yes is more about skill

[@GDO9099]

What about not about luck with traffic

[@ghostedclanleader4733]

If u use the ktm street bike u can hit the shortcut perfect

[@UopuvJq]

When I notice the new check points I wasn’t surprised. I figured after the earlier patches I was pretty sure they were working on patching NY. I like the idea of resetting the leaderboard I had a respectable time before the patch and now I just have work on a new time. I got a 27:08 on my last run and I see some low 25’s on the board so I’m gonna just keep running until I feel like that’s as good as it’s gonna get. I may not get in the 24’s or 25’s but it’s fun trying to master the cuts. The only thing I didn’t like was the no traffic glitch mostly because I didn’t know how to do it so I thought that was a unfair advantage. Either way it’s still fun to play.

[@StrikingPhoenix]

Ah yes.... they replaced the 82% with the 83%... perfection. just randomly got recommended it recently

I want to see a video of u playin New York hypercar ON ACE AND NO SHORTCUTS

On one hand I understand them trying to patch shortcuts, but on the other I think it’s a fun part of the community and rewards players for their track knowledge?

[@K-G-S_66]

So i was kinda new to summit and didn't know that once you reach platinum there's chance it might drop back to gold and do to my busy schedule don't have enough time to grind To me it should be fun playing the crew 2 Not exhausting That's just me guys Do you think summit is to much grind

[@jod9749]

It can drop back down to gold?! damn I barely made into top 3k guess imma have to get a higher score.

[@alvinalcasas888]

I made platinum once. Once. Middle of the summit, and by the next day, id gotten kicked down to silver. Summit tiers shouldn't be relative to other players, instead just flat score levels.

And don't forget about the dam traffic it's like tanks driving on the road I hate it its unbalanced Roads are narrow and npc car appear from no where

shortcuts takes skill a lot of times. i come from playing more of trackmania but there skill is almost equal to shortcuts, but i know its not that extreme in the crew 2 but i would argue its a bit of the same at least

Would they remove the times set with the shortcuts on leaderbords as if the remove them you will find it harder to get there times.

40 minutes? I average new york in 33 minutes withiut shortcuts

[@NateThurlow]

I've already found two shortcuts on the highway that shave some good time. Don't think we'll see the same level of shortcuts as before but it'll be close

[@danieldudley2558]

I see the latrells car part 1 shortcut hasn't been mentioned it's sick. it's not far from the start where ya go over the bridge over the water then off road and fly over that mountain and over the barrier to continue the race. tbh I'm not arsed about the NY Hyper Car shortcuts wise as long as ya win the race in ace mode it doesn't matter ur making 315k bucks everytime or more if ur lucky. I smash that NY Hyper Race all the time 2 or 3 times a day if I can be bothered such a chilled race ACE MODE everytime

[@jc_gainz3679]

I mean tbh why should shortcuts even matter that much. If you generally like to race and a good driver then it should be no problem. Honestly shortcuts is basically just cheating

[@Blixid]

I jokingly found this video and I accidentally found that cut last night an this morning I see this video

[@hayden9236]

3:12 its.... not a rally raid smh

[@Reaper1008]

Short cuts are fine, to a degree. I do think that when putting time on the leader board, it should not count the short cuts. Or, When the short cut may cut out a bit of longer road, like in NFS Heat on I think J Run..

[@conorstewart2214]

I see shortcuts the same as speed running essentially, you are using unintended features to be faster, I think shortcuts do take skill and are fine for grinding, but for any serious racing or any kind of multiplayer they shouldn’t be allowed.
