Handle Sharp Turns in Need for Speed Carbon
Having trouble making sharp turns in Need For Speed: Carbon? Here are some easy ways to make the turn easier.
Steps
- Start the turn as early as possible. On sharp U-turns, this is very important. Do not start too early unless you're in a Canyon Duel.(See step 3)
- Use the Speed breaker (slow motion).
- Press the Speed breaker button (varies on different systems, on PS2 you press R3, and for the Wii it is right on the D-pad if you are holding it correctly).
- Go into slow motion and do the turn. It is a bit tricky at first but very helpful.
- Try a Nitrous turn. Right before the turn, activate your nitro. Then, immediately turn! Otherwise you will risk crashing. Don't worry if you don't get it the first time, just practice.
- Try a Drift-Nitrous turn. Drift part of the turn then use NOS to speed ahead.
- Tap the hand brake (space bar on the computer) for just a second at the beginning of the turn so your rear wheels lose grip and the back end swings around faster.
Tips
- To make sure no one messes up your turn, set your default crew member to a blocker, and use him on the turn.
- Try to use a car that has moderate stats, because you won't ram onto the walls too much. This technique will keep your car at a high speed.
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted is very similar to Need For Speed: Carbon, so these may also help in that game.
- If you are trying to win a canyon duel, you would probably have to use a tuner car.
- If you are at your car's peak acceleration and top speed, you might want to press the speed breakers and turn. You can also press the nitrous button during the speedbreaker.
- The most effective turns are the nitro turn and the speedbreaker turn, mix these together on one turn and you will be able to turn very sharply.
Warnings
- Watch out for enemies to block you on a turn. To counter that, use a blocker.
