  1. Surely that should have been included since they have already made old games and skins etc…. coded/saved/archived!
    Now I’ll never get to experience it old skool Nissan and pre-wraps from previous NFS games! (-_-)

  2. No mention of a fix to stop idiots ruining your game.

    • Even though it’s online only, I believe there is a setting to turn off other human players from your lobby!

      Agree with Del – since the game is lacking in almost every department some of this stuff should have been included from the start. A game that prides itself on its deep customisation should of had customisable brakes & calipers from the off!

      Trophy for getting to REP level 70 sucks major testicles, there’s already no replayability as the games events are incredibly repetitive anyway and use a lot of the same routes! It’s a poor attempt at keeping people playing it.

      The one thing needed that we didn’t get was a larger garage ffs! Although you can save your wraps, you’d need to waste money re-buying the car and it’s upgraded! It’s so stupid, honestly.

      • There became lazy and focused on high detail graphics (which was stunning) and rushed all races with same track aswell as drift etc… agree with bigger garage! I would spend hours during customizations but had to sell it fast before the value decreases over time.

  3. I’m really itching for some great arcade style racing fun. A game where I can drift the back end out round the bend and then power off down a long tight straight and smash a few other cars off the track. This NFS looked to be so promising in the run up to release and even the beta/demo felt like it had real promise… then the reviews and comments came rolling in.
    I’m very sorely tempted to get the game just to ease that itch, but I know I’ll be disappointed after a few hours of play.
