Ah yes, read this yesterday. Doesn't really affect me since I uninstalled UG a long time ago and I was never a big fan of online racing.

EDIT: January 13, 2006 is Friday the 13th. Could this result in bad luck for EA in the future?

No... not really, since the highest amount of players online on UG1 is around 5-6, and U2 would be 0-2

agreed with blue, i went online once, and this guy was i gues trying to hack but e wasnt to good at it, because he kept jumping ahead a couple car lengths, and then restart his car like when you get flipped over, it was hilarious!

Way too many cheaters indeed, I saw one white RX-7 a month ago the guy swears he was playing fair yet he magicly was faster than everyone including me plus he wrecked a few times that I saw and was nearly on my ass less than 20 seconds later. I actually blocked him causing him to hit the prison on national rail, I'm lucky my UG1 RX-7 is very fast or he would have caught me before the finish. If the race had more laps he would have caught up to me. Same shiznit in UG2, too many frickin cheaters. I know some of those assholes by name. Redblade used a hacked GTO under the name nicecarthnxu2. nikkawildin is a cheater, feliksrussia, gfrbadass supra was a well known cheater from UG1. SX shadow something with his hacked white RX-7, his pal with the black RX-7 didnt cheat. AOD the whole clan i think cheated, EAO cheats too. ucheetinphux was a cheater too. I forgot some people.
