Fantastic Work!!!

@djnc97 Hello, no. Since the beginning of the Rivals E3 mod, the idea has always been for the mod to be a completely separate project from Rivals+, focusing only on E3 content, and v2.0 separates them even further. Yes, there will be more, cheers.

Hi, bro! Is this mod of yours compatible with your own Rivals+ mod or not? Will there be more updates to this Rivals E3 mod? Thanks in advance for your answers!

@MrArbuckleCustomAccount, even Need For Speed™: 2015/2016 and in Need For Speed™: Unbound don't have anti-cheat, I checked it from personal experience, why should EA Games ban you for it in this part of the game?

If I put thins into E3 Mod to frosty mod mamanger to NFS Rivals,
If I get banned or not?

@fiswet Hi, but why do you want this? This mod applies to E3 content. The AI pace and behavior are the same as in E3 and will remain that way for obvious reasons.
