- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Eugene "Earl" James is the 7th boss (and 9th racer on the "Blacklist") in the 2005 Need for Speed: Most Wanted. He drives a white Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and has two races as part of his rival challenge. He gained infamy among the franchise's fanbase due to his brutal difficulty and rubberband AI.
Is Rubberband Earl the hardest boss in need for speed most wanted or is he just the most annoying one?

Earl is the only blacklist who never underestimates us and truly consider us a rival and gives his maximum.
It's really interesting to see how everybody is having issues with Earl. I played the game thrice and never had any issues with him besides the last corner in the sprint race.
I just straight hate him, but its cool to hear that at least someone beat him without a problem, good job ;)
Yeah, i never had issues with he
Same happens with me.. 20 times finishing the game and Earl was a taxi driver
I guess it's possible that different pc/processor process ai differently(slightly or mostly). So it can happen earl is easy for some players bcoz their pc processor a little different than most out there. As well for some other cases.
Or maybe it's just different player so different playstyle.
@@kdfr1483 PC what about GameCube? What about a phone emulating GameCube, i don't seems to have a problem with Earl tho and im horrible at racing games
Earl is where boys became men
I agree 😅
I was little when I raced him. Played this game a lot with nothing much to do. My young mind somehow found the perfect strat to beat him without even knowing the proper concept of rubberbanding. I would always keep him ahead of me for the entire race till the last stretch which is when I would overtake him to win. Otherwise he just blasts past you.
So basically the Darius strat I thought of in Carbon.
My guy takes 90 degree corners at 4 billion miles per hour without breaking a sweat
He deserves it for all the players back in the day :') great video man
Thanks appreciate it!
I don't know how many people are stuck with Earl, but I beat him easily with tuned Vic's Supra. There wasn't any issues and I had like over 5 seconds time difference when I finished the race. Only thing that was kinda tough was the first race. I didn't notice that he had only few points lower score than me, but I still won for some reason.
i beat him with a Fiat Punto no junkman, straight from the shop upgrades. i beat the guy three times to get that Evo
Just raced him on a new playthrough and the only reason I won was one of the corners near the end has a statue on the cut and he tried overtaking me there and I shoved him into the statue 😂 the exact same one he hit on your win
Statue of luck ;)
@@fueledwithboostmore like statue of fuck tbh, that thing always got in my way whenever I'd take that corner
I think i cheesed dis boi every race against him. I specifically remember getting him stuck on the set of stairs that stick out and another time in the pursuit breaker 😂
Developer M3 with junkman parts and a spoiler with aerodynamics set to max/+5 is also a good way to rubberband the rubberbanding
I think other bosses/opponents will rubberband only when u use original cars
You mean if I use modded car like the F1 they wont rubberband?
@@fueledwithboost Yea, maybe u could try and sneak modify the original cars to be faster
With baron's cayman s it's easy I played with manual + used tune options in pause menu. I think hardest boss is Webster but Razor have a lot of race he's easiest boss but this makes it boring. Razor is driving BMW like Mustang
On my first play through I had no issue of beating him - easy as it goes. On the third one he crashed two speed traps away from finish and I was like "bruh, gg easy".
Until he got 244 F@#KING MPH ON THEM! It took me two tries more to beat the FIRST race god dman it! And on the second one he literally pressed "ON" button - blocking him does nothing. I was like lvl 1 cop vs top tier upgraded car. Jesus. That's one way to make a psychological trauma. It was like 10-13 years ago or so but I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Have not played this game in years yet always wondered why this car seems to be the easiest to remember
This might be why
I don’t remember which boss it was but around 2005-2006 I kept losing to a boss in this game and I got so mad that I ejected the game out of my ps2 in rage and nearly destroyed the disc. I was only 12 years old at the time but it’s the only game that ever got me that angry lol. Eventually I ended up beating the game
It’s nice to hear that you came back and finished the game
@@fueledwithboost it’s in my top 3 favorite racing games of all time
The only two I had issues with were Ming and Baron. Earl was always one try for me
yes,because their rides were a lot more upgrated than the max possible of the player
Ming Lamborghini is the best
Man, that was a great watch. Keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
I'm gonna be honest, I never really had trouble racing with Earl. Honestly I was more amazed on how an Evo 8 can manage to keep up with a fi ely tuned Cayman S of Baron. Maybe you guys call that rubberbanding, but for me it was just a fun curiosity thing. Sure, I'll admit that I had a big time having trouble racing with him. Not against him, but against my invaluable skill. Shiii the CaymanS kept slipping and sliding on the corners but other than that, most struggle I got was against my own skill of driving.
I has so hyped to get Earl's Lancer because It can keep up with a Cayman S even on the straight lines even if I was having trouble with the consistent sliding. I was hyped because I thought that I finally managed to find a Blacklist Car that was worth the customizations I've added on the Cayman S. And oh boy when I got it, I was dead wrong. It was just almost on the Same level as the RX8. But I still managed to use it for Milestones on which the AWD helped me a lot against my invaluable skill. Shit I was even surprised I was sliding and slipping on an AWD car like Wtf.
At that point, I finally realized the Rubberbanding you guys are talking about, and on how I realized he was that challenging.
Earl was never hard for me to beat... but getting his car... that took me some several restarts.
God this guy, the rubber banding was freaking annoying
I have no issues from blacklist no.15 to no.1. Why? Every Cars that I purchase it, I put all ultimate performances for my cars. Currently, I'm using BMW M5 '18 Competition start from blacklist no.15 to no.4. Now I'm aganist with no.3. Fully maximum performances (Ultimate). Full speed 378km/h.
The shit starts when I reach 51% even he crashes at beginning
Hey just one question: how did you get that formula f1 car Earl made me to happy to angry ngl so howd you get that car? Just askin
It's a mod
So i was lucky are unlucky to not get a single boss car until blacklist number 4 and due to that i had alot of money to spare whole fighting earl and i bough his same car and sold my only car to ein against him
Earl was a pretty easy boss. The speedtrap race was nice and so was the sprint race but for whatever reason, whenever you reach the prison and the Burger King in Camden Beach, Earl thinks it's the end of the world and gets a 1000MPH speed boost and increased handling.
Yeah that's the hard part
I just drove the second race for at least an hour and didn't win it. That really gets me down.
How can I have the rear-view mirror permanently displayed like you had it at the end?
You can set it up in settings of the game
0:34 Same color, design and car which I have also. same pinch!
This reminds me. I stopped playing after losing to him twice.
If u want sooperb handling just increase the steering to tue maximum and +2 the handling from normal
I won both of his races without restarting 1 month ago.
I know im late but in my first account i had to restart 3 times to beat him, on the second i restarted 1 time you know what i did on the third? I gave him hell, i restart the race everytime i win, had so much anger on that dude
It was Vic & baron for me 😂
I don't wanna say that I'm better or some shit, just the matter of fact, that I've beaten Earl on stock fiat without aerodynamics upgrade and without speedbreaker. It's not that hard as it seems
That Cayman s can carry anyone till blacklist #6. Then I know you guys will do anything to get your hands on that gallardo right?😂 So it's pretty much game over for everybody.
greetings from argentina, good video
Bro for real bro he is the hardest boss for real
He should be top 5 blacklist racers literally.
I used rx8 twice (once it had a junkman too)... Earl wasnt too hard with rotary
I got lucky on him he crash at the church near the finish line
Never had any trouble with Earl. I think, sonny is the worst as he is just faster and you can't make any mistakes as you dont have NOs
True, sonny is fking cancer
I just beat earl with one try the other day using my tuned Audi TT, am I the only one who thinks rubberband doesn't affect you that much?
Nah you ain’t the only one😂😂😂
I just feel like back when the game was released more people had problems with him
Y'all got an 8 ball as your shift knob? What kinda luck do y'all got?
Nah I had problems with my own skill instead of the Rubberbanding
the only car that can beat earl easily is supra
Supra all the way
what does rubberband mean?
refers to a feature of artificial intelligence found in racing titles that is designed to prevent players from getting too far ahead of computer-controlled opponents. It is infamous for allowing AI to catch up no matter how far behind they are, as well as for giving A.I. unfair advantages.
@@fueledwithboost ohh now i get it thanks
@@Bluehawk1 u can imagine like the ai car attached to u with a rubber band.
If it stretches too far it pulls itself back.
@@dranzergigs8333 hmmm yeah 👍
why does everyone struggle againts earl i swear he was the easiest boss ive raced
Technically because of the rubberbanding system.
Ai use some kind of speed hacks to make them fast
I won easy but after watching idk 😅
Earl is easy lol I had issues with Ronnie like crazy
I got issues with freaking Webster
Something much harder in a mobile game
I beat him easy with SS
Cobalt SS with upgrade performance car parts. There are something very good apart from the ability points said. The car keep solid balance when take on curve you can good control and can keep up good speed on curve.
Ngl earl was easy for me
As far as I remember, Earl and Darius we're the guys that gave me problems during their respective races. Earl's rubberbanding is definitely ridiculous, and Darius' rubberbanding AI is fucking dreadful. The problem about beating Darius tho that he always takes shortcuts and takes the lead even if you're using an OP car.
These 2 guys we're definitely defined as *HELL DIFFICULTY RACERS*
Yeah Darius was for me probably the hardest boss in whole nfs
I had problems against Izzy because the last corner you have to take slow or hit grass and meanwhile Izzy goes around it at 180 mph and passes you just before the line. I don't understand why there's rubber banding, makes the whole race pointless until the last 10 seconds.
I somehow didn't have problems with Darius. I used Lancer Evo and there was like atleast 6 seconds of split time
Who is derius
@@muhammadnaseembutt3634the main villain from nfs carbon
I just did the second race with Earl today and I pulled a 17 second lead on him which gradually fell away even though I was driving like a racing God. He still didn't overtake me though
Also: Use rubber banding to your advantage in speedtrap races! Don't rush to first place, fall back a lot so the AI are much slower ahead and then rush to first towards the end
Good tip👌
They don’t call him Rubberband Earl for nothing
Imagine if Razor had rubberbanding...
💀
I used -5 handling -5 ride height +5 aerodynamics +5 steering to be able to beat him
Bro as far as I remember, I didn't have any probs beating em'. The most difficult (and also annoying) boss for me is Ronnie (Blacklist no.3).
Okay yeah I remember Ronnie he was pain in the ass
Lol Ronnie wasn't that hard
Ronnie always after you ass. the tracks made you can't lead far from him.
One night i tried 4continous hours to win that sprint race but i was so scared and felt pressure that everytime i was a head of earl i bump my car to some obstacle and lose
I know this feeling when you overtake him and you start being nervous cause he’s right behind you and then you crash 😅
Baron's Porsche helped me tremendously.
Dude I defeated every rival till kaze by Vic's supra🙂
I mean… supra is not just any car its a freaking supraaaa
@@fueledwithboost got a challenge for you, try beating all blacklist rivals by Vic's supra.
@@adityashahane4402 damn thats a hard one, but I guess I'll give it a try ;)
And that's how Sergio Perez won his first F1 race in the pink Mercedes, after 190 attempts
Mercedes failed tyre choices. Should had been George Russell's first F1 win
3:45 "I turned my NFSMW copy into Burnout 3"
I think I only had issues with earl because my setup has understeer so I put steering to +5 and I'm beat he easily
that f1 mod is truly a pepega, v8 sound, retarded physics and the speed of a jet
3:43 How did you get that car? it wasn't there when I played it.
I agree. I remember the time when I didn't know how to change the handling and my car had too much handling enabled and mad me crash a lot more. And that final corner really caught my nerve so many times. But I am glad I did win it in the end.
Evo pink slip was the hardest to get back in 2005
The memes used in this video are so crazy ahahaha
"SIKE you THOUGHT"
And
"NOOO MONICAA" ahahaha
2:22 where will he go?
Ого! Омэриканцы тоже в игру моего детства играли, нифига себе!
Supra is a cheat code.
Love Need For Speed games my friend! This was great! Fully watched! Have a nice Sunday! Support with a big like # 123😀💯🔥✌
Thanks bro!
The song "Rubberband Man" was made after Earl.
You better stay in first on those speedtrap races just sayin.
Playing this on XBOX, 360, and PS2, I would beat him on the first to 3rd try.
On the gamecube version, took me like 7 tries with Baron's car tuned 🤦♂️
"Hello, My Name is Earl". Thanks for roasting his ass with that F1 car. F*** Earl
And yeah I had NFS MW and Carbon on every system except GBA. Even the PSP and DS
I just beat him in one run, but I cannot count how many times I had to block him from passing me, the rearview mirror was very useful in defeating this mad boss. It was also a tight win, being just 0.47 seconds ahead of him at the finish line
Bro they should add this mechanism on all blacklist boss. Because it makes winning so satisfying.
I straight up hate this guy and gotta say i think plot armor saved razor from this guy
I beat him on first try using Baron's Cayman S. I don't remember exactly how i did it, but i do remember using the speedbreaker and nitrous a lot
You did pretty well though my best time is in the fiat punto a 3.45.69 I wonder if I will ever beat my best time again
Of course F1 car is fast what do you think why everybody says that “F1 is the top Level of Motorsport”
I never had issues with earl personally and beat him with Izzy’s RX8. I think the hardest racer in this game is by far JV
Earl is the toughest one and whoever gets his lancer is heaven One of the best handling and sudden acceleration car in game
Have you tried defeating Vic using Taz’s Lexus? Dude it’s really tough.
i played nfsmw on ps2 a beating earl was easy asf
Literally beat him first try .. I don't understand how people have issues
I beat him first try with my Punto. Maybe it was luck, but for most bosses in this game I only needed one attempt. The tough challenges for me were the milestones with the aggressive police involved.
I never had any problems with him because i got baron's car
I defeated him with a Fiat Punto first try
Cap
for me the most tries may be Webster. I think nobody pass all 3 tracks in first try. The problem is unseen tracks through the forest.
personally Joe was the issue for me
but i could never beat number 4
i could beat 1 and 2 easily but 4 was always the most difficult
4>8>6>9 in terms of difficulty for me
Joe Biden was the issue for me as well
It's just the last part of the second race. It's too difficult to maintain a nice speed.
Exactly
No man. It's Cheese for me.
Damn fully analysed the ting
I've never experienced his rubberbanding on the ps2
I wonder if it's just a pc thing
Ps2 is on v1.0 so maybe they added rubberbanding on v1.1, they nerf the rubberbanding on v1.3
I hate this boss I won the first race in 3 tries I passed the second in 2tries
I don't understanding how the first race is take more than 1 trys, I beat it always in 1 try even if I am behind I have 100 km/h lead on the first race
I actually wanted a mod that makes every single racer drive at full pace, when they're behind you, they're fast, when they're ahead of you, they're also as fast, BUT i wonder if that system is even possible without the "Catch-Up/Rubberbanding", i saw that done in Carbon Battle Royale, where the AI drove much much better than originally without rubberbanding
I'm just wondering if this can be true
I Don't recall this guy being difficult on the PS2 ..... Maybe I have to play this game again :)
