I was encouraged to make the switch from auto to manual in NFS Heat, and did. Initially, it made me slower, which is to be expected. After it became second nature, there was a subtle improvement in track times. I kept with it and have driven manual in every game since simply because I enjoy it more.
The simplest advice I can give is: “Don’t look, listen”. Looking over at the tac constantly during races is just something I can’t do, and don’t want to do. I shift entirely on the sound of the engine. Personally, I think learning to do that will make for a more enjoyable experience.
Couldn’t agree more!
Literally me. I have my audio turned up all the way on my headphones. Each car got its own tune so it’s always a pleasant experience learning the gears and shifts for different cars. I always play in cockpit view (unless in multiplayer)
I love using manual. However, it can be a little weird in the Grand Races when transitioning to the next car.
I feel u, sometimes u can shift whilst your car is invisible sometimes u can’t😭😭
The gear you go into at the switch is the relative gear according to your speed when switching. I need to do more tests but I’m pretty sure I can illustrate it well in a video.
It can be but once you get used to it , and as long as it doesnt lag , its not there the problem , the automatic players have the advantage in not thinking about the gears and just focusing in the corners cuts and not getting rammed
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity that would be great! Thanks for the response.
I’ve found shifting up just before it swaps helps a tonne for not losing as much speed
Manual is more fun n I feel like u got more control over your car whilst taking corners because u can take the turn in whatever gear u want… It also helps regaining traction really fast when your car starts swirling. In auto some cars take mad long to go to the next gear whilst you’re abusing the acceleration button… N for drifting it’s a staple. However H shifter + clutch is on a whole nother level!
2 sec is actually alot, Great video strange I manually shift my Porsche and Audi every day in real life but I never took the time to try it on here. I will take more time working on my track control and getting my cars together and I will comeback to this or wait to set up my wheel so it can feel more natural for me
Good idea! I encourage it for sure!
You can use auto and give it half throttle at the start to trigger TC faster and you can launch just like the manual
Love the vids always helpfull and unlike most youtubers you respond to questions😁
I do my best!
I would recommend use it just because it makes a lot of difference in hypercars. using a higher gear in those fast cars in corners make it so much more controlable. for example the koenigsegg agera r is in automatic undriveable
I have recently buy Motorfest, and try to find my settings to be perfectly opti, i try to learn manual but its even more hard for someone who has never drive IRL, its hard to know when you need to up shift and down shift, (for up shift i know i have to focus the red line) but in some case like at the start of a race to have a good grip etc
almost 2 seconds is alot of time .and for those that dont understand manual and automatic basically automatic whill shift in whenever it think it needs to without factoring other things like:could you squeeze in more speed for the next shift ,do you need to stay in the power band or not .alot of that if done wrong will make you slower and automatic is prone to do it wrong all the time.besides your own car sounds will make you decide when its time to shift.
After this video I've also changed to manual and in the first try in Grand Race, I won! Only with using Fords (Airfoil for Racing, GT for Hypercar and Shelby for ST2). I think, that it makes huge change in driving.
Great video. I use auto in grand race because of constantly getting hit. In other events manual.
Oh ok. Yeah Grand Races are super rough
@@Sanderly1820 It’s so hit and miss with the races. I almost always place top 10 and get top 5 a good amount of the time. I know very few shortcuts and am 45 years old so I’m happy with what I get. I haven’t played the crew since the original.
H Shifter + clutch is the quickest way to shift in this game for some reason there is a delay with upshifts and downshift using sequential I have tested it both ( using controller )
Yes, clutch does get a very slight advantage.
How did you map clutch on controller? I've been trying for weeks and can't figure it out.
@@harryballz4260 Go to akor yt videos he has a guide on it step by step
@@harryballz4260 you need a steering wheel for that
what exactly is the difference between sequental and h shifter
This game's force feedback signals when to shift with a faint vibration. It helps sometimes, particularly at the start.
True!
If your just flat on the accelerator from the countdown you will get alot of wheel spin but you can reduce it and get a pretty quick launch if you find the sweet spot in the revs, if the engine is grunting you're to heavy on accelerator, you want to hear the engine wind up to a nice steady whine to just before the engine starts to go bumbumbumbumbum then as soon as you launch you go full throttle n will fly by cars Infront. It's good why you do it with electric cars and it's just instant acceleration from 0-100 while everyone else is still wheelspining on the line.
Tysm trigger and I went from top 5 in grand races to consistent 1st
Thanks for good information
Great info 👍
Press the accelration button little bit slow in the start (in automatic)is better than full push somehow😂.
probably because you hit the rev limit and automatic doesnt shift until you hit top speed of that gear but youre spinning your tires
But then you lose time so gotta find the right maximum acceleration without tire spin
@@paddyod16 it works for me
Just slow press for 0.20sec not for tooo long until shift comes😂just for 20 30 kmh then full press as usual
By doing this u can also avoid wheel spin,
I dont know its just works for me on especiially slow accelration cars like camaro ss (racing) Or Rx7(st tier 1) btw these cars are amazing
@@fdfgaming9076 if u can start pressing just littttle bit slow then full push u can avoid wheel spin.
Try it ,It will work for sure
@@fdfgaming9076 i dont know if its traction control or whatever
But it works and u can avoid wheel spin too
The reason why the difference is not extreme in Motorfest like it is on lets say Unbound is because of how the cars start in each game. Unbound gives you a perfect start chance AND a full bottle of nos. Whereas in Motorfest you start with jack shit and just hold the trigger down fully at the start. So even though you can pre shift in manual it is only good enough to save 1-3 seconds.
The difference in FH5 is much more extreme though
@@jaredsiew8413dude, yeah!
Def wanna learn manual, helps in drifting a ton, better in races too. I decided to use automatic in TC2 because you couldn't switch the default controller layout and I was switching between that and FH5 every week. Thank goodness TCM allows you to change the controller layout, now it's the same between both games
From my experience, you can't map clutch to any buttons on controller and it's throwing my whole vibe off. I use manual + clutch in FH5 also but I can't even map clutch to L1 like I have it in Forza.
Unless I'm missing something? Please let me know if that's the case because I hate playing on automatic.
@@harryballz4260 I don't use manual w/clutch in FH5, and in TCM I just use sequential
I hate L1 R1 for manual.. I consider myself okay (usually top 100) and use auto bc I preferred right thumbstick like back in 2015 nfs when I was stupid fast and heat too I think.. 😅
If you tap the gas as you brake or just in general it'll hold turns a lot better around turns and braking, basically forces the car to downshift when needed
Exactly the topic I wanted you to cover. Thank you. I’m a older gamer and adding additional buttons to be good is a little scary for me. How would you go about starting to learn manual? Keep up the great content. Thanks again.
I'd say the best way to initially start to learn using manual is to just drive around in free roam to get used to it. You'll feel slower at first in races but eventually it will become second nature and you'll start making better times.
Personally I prefer automatic in games, becuz I very much got used to it sence my first racing game
IRL cars I prefer manual, becuz it's more fun to drive
Fun should always be the #1 priority for these games! :)
The most easy way to know when to change gears is the same as in real life manual car. Use the sound, you dont need to look at the rpms, just need to know what the tone/sound of top rpm and the tone/sound of low rpm. And thats it, in time you even know what tone/sound = rpms
My biggest thing is audio. I almost always play with music or CZcams in my ears as opposed to game audio. So I can't hear when the car needs to be shifted.
That is definitely an issue. Hearing the car is huge!
How'd did u get the black and chrome rims on the 993?
Those are the grey ones. The wheel colors in this game are funky. You can change it in the “visual parts” menu
It's a Crew franchise game, which means cheezers or bug-abusers are never far away. And of course, also in this topic they are around : macro users. They are using H-Shifter + Manual clutch, macro'd on one button, in this case stick of controller (yes, they don't even drive with wheel)....and macros are again faster, just like in previous game. Always remember, in games like TC2, TCM......it's not always about the driving, it's very often about who's cheesing, glitching, bug abusing and so on.
Where do i turn on manual? I cant find in options.
Thanks!
You're so welcome and thanks for the super thanks!
My experience on manual was on PS2 era when im trying to shift almost red line & feel the different of the car . Still this day manual blend well with me when sometime trying again automatic I'm not comfortable & not fun anymore cause getting use of that manual playstyle . Also Real Man Drive Three Pedal 🤣. That's all my experience of getting started manual ..
Nice vid, I always go with manual because is more entertaining
Pure gold content for who is considering to switch to manual. I 100% agree on the fun factor.
Thanks!
i grand race am 15-20 but not alweys and i love to drive manual when i drive my bugatti or Koenigsegg the sounds of the turbo my god lol
can you do this exact video but for drifting? i want higher scores in drift events. how much does learning manual do wonders? if i do it now i just keep sliding of the track haha
Manual in drift events is almost 100% necessary imo. But I’ll run some tests to see what I can find out!
i only have the option between automatic and sequential gearbox…how do i get manual
Sequential is manual
I'd prefer to use manual + clutch but Ubisoft was too lazy to allow me to even map clutch to a controller button.
Tried my best to find a workaround but no luck for the way I want to set it up.
I'd like to be able to map it like I have it in FH5.
Xbox controller:
L1 = Clutch
X = Downshift
B = Upshift
It's the main thing that keeps me away from playing this more.
If anyone has a solution for me to do this or could direct me to somewhere to find this out, I would appreciate it very much.
What do u play using? Controller ?
Can i ask something? Is it worth playing with steering wheel and manual?
Depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If your goal is to get a WR then yes, because manual with clutch on a wheel is the fastest (when executed perfectly)
I'm on ps5 and i would use manual if i had back paddles. R1+L1 is weird.
I had it on PS4 and it was better.
In the case of the start instead of having full gas just rest your finger on the gas and full gas when the race starts. It gives you a way better start
Go into controller settings, you can either manually set each button or change to the manual preset that puts the shift s onto Triangle and Square.
You can re map your buttons :)
how much difference does hardware make? like i play the crew on ps5 with a normal controller? or does it matter at all?
The controller is just preference. If you switch to a wheel there is a very small advantage. I play on default settings on an Xbox controller
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity When you write "wheel" do you mean that a person who knows how to drive a Logitech g923 will drive faster in the Grand Race than a person who uses a Xbox or Sony controller?
I seem to forget to shift when im at high speed then slowing down for a turn. When trying for like a week...decided to stick to automatic. Lol
At the end of the day you need to do what is the most fun for you!
I have a really good tip for people trying to get faster.. if you use hood cam its very easy to line up gutter turns and nail them... Also when driving things like the f1 cars i will never use chase cam again... But for what its worth i always use chase cak for planes drift cars and monster trucks in grand race... In the summit i was able to get much faster times with hood cam and Manual.. the longer the race the more time i usually make up so much time its insane... Try hood cam get a feel for it. You will be faster
It's a habbit for me to pick manual transmission in most my racing games nowadays
Which buttons do you have toggled for shifting?
The bumpers
I would love to see an on screen display of the controller when you play grand races with a specific build.@@MilitiaGamingCommunity
Nice advice but I've being driving car games on manual since nfs 1
Nice!
I remember I was playing nfs the run on extreme difficulty. I was stuck on a stage for 3 whole days. Swapped to manual transmission, instantly cleared the stage. No I'm not exaggerating
Is manual or auto faster
hey, to a new player could you make a video on how to use manual, which situations shloud we go down and that kind of stuff
Absolutely. It’s in my video list right now! :)
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity thanks for the help
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity Could you link it or provide the video title, by any chance? Tried trawling through the full vid list on the channel searching "manual" but had no luck, and as someone just getting into racers and trying to get the hang of manual it'd be super helpful.
what is the best button setup for manual with a ps5 controller?
Your comment is old but I was wondering the same. Been trying manual but w R1 and L1 used to shift its just awkward, having to use R2 to accelerate with my middle finger. Thinking about binding R1 to handbrake with square and X to shift and O for nitrous. It would take some getting used to. Just wondering if you found a button mapping you like at all.
@@SilverToxxinno like you I found it awkward accelerating with my middle finger so I just keep it on an automatic
Anyone here plays The crew on PC that wants to play with me? Mostly for Summits and cruising
I wish stick shift was still a thing in cars today...
That's a fact but for ppl like us they'll call us old but those cars are the best 👌
@BIGGZZ_Gaming First car I learned to drive in was Stick.🥲
Manual is by far the best for a true, raw and fun driving experience. They still make manual cars, just not as many as they used to. Ass hole governments are trying to get rid of manual combustion cars, but are failing lol as there's still enough demand for them and the stupid electric automatic cars aren't practical and viable in the long run.
@@richardprice4945 facts bro 💯
I’ve got a DSG transmission GTI with paddle shifters. It’s faster, but I miss my full manual driving experience. It’s much more fun
Its sad how theres no clutching unless your on A Sim racing Setup since id rather use a Controller to Clutch, I legit would Hel and toe downshift on alot of corners Lol 😂.
The fact games are becoming more of these 'lucky loot' type of systems is going to make people want to use macros even more to grind unlocks just to play competitively with others who can spend 18 hours a day on a game grinding essentially a lottery system... So I understand people using macros for those reasons. It's a big chunk of time taken out of your gameplay just grinding that. Worse still that it's all luck, and not skill based...
manual in the crew is so easy to learn, you can literally just switch to manual and be fine its not hard
I'd like to see a somewhat proper automatic in racing games. Drive and Reverse gear with throttle and brake, instead of the "hold brake to drive backward" like it is now. Think of good old Interstate '76 or even Enviro-Bear 2000.
I definitely think that would defeat the purpose of automatic in arcade games like this but if it could be toggled on or off and it’s your choice, I’m all for that. I just feel holding break to reverse is very simple for the average casual player.
The game has no DLSS support from the beginning and need more higher quality texture..Colour correction needed some highways are too bright...if they can implement Ray Tracing,,, thats all...rest of the things are good...
Manual makes the game way more fun in my opinion…
No need to test nfs and crew 2 and motorfest manual option is a joke. Doesn't even have the default buttons like other games L1 and R1 for gear shift? Also when I did it I even got custom button mapping on my xbox. All 3 of these games are horrible for manual. Just pretend they re gta 5 online races. Pretty good for arcade automatic though
manual is better with a wheel, automatic is better on controller
