EA’s rebooted Need For Speed should be patched on November 25th and will include a number of tweaks and enhancements, not least of which is to adjust the rubber banding on the AI cars.
There will also be new community events that will earn you money, REP, or give discounts, plus new vehicles including Ken Block’s Hoonicorn and Morohoshi’ Lamborghini Diablo SV.
You will also be able to check out “an early, in development look at neons” which will only be available on Morohoshi’s car. They look more like strips of LED’s to me rather than neon lights, but what do I know.
The patch will also inlcude Colour Picker 2.0, a Mirror Decal function, and a host of new Daily Challenges and trophies.

I’ll wait for the patch to confirm a better rubber-banding effect and also for a price drop.

I wouldn’t bother, traded mine in as soon as I finished it as I was sick of all the stupid idiots that follow you around just to crash into you.
If the next in the series is always online I’m not going to get it.

Have to agree.

I traded mine in as soon as I got the plat,but I did enjoy it was just a shame there was no real multiplayer and the reliance on online,I must have been lucky because all way through my play not once did I get people ramming me on purpose.

Ouch. Is this really such a problem then?, people are chasing down other people and ruining their games? That sounds quite off putting.

The way it worked in Rivals was that you had a city to go around & find stuff (like jumps) & generally tool around in, but as soon as you opt to do a race, you were split off either by yourself, or with your friends (depending on who you were with at the time). Only in freeroam did I have any issues with anyone & it was rare when I did.

If EA had stuck to the way always online worked in Rivals it would have been fine.
Anyway I don’t know why it was always online as I completed the whole game and platinum trophy without any cooperation with other human players.
