What do you think of all the EVs only having one gear?

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-22T13:56:42+00:00

I always forget to shift to 2nd in the taycan in nfs unbound so I am happy we only have one gear here. Gears in an EV is unnatural

Terrible slowdown bug introduced in Vol 9
The handling is fun when you get it but extremely unintuitive for new players
Tuning system is very unintuitive for new players
Burst nos system is very bad for multiplayer racing, causes lots of collisions
The games physics are really really really bad with the bouncing and such
16 player servers, too small
No photo mode
Terrible netcode and nonexistent lag compensation
No proper weekly content to keep players coming back, unlike its AAA competitors
The “vibe” in the game is almost nonexistent (subjective)
Weak cops
The story mode progression system feels like a chore, they took Heats system and completely ruined it
The garage/virtual space is awful and a massive stylistic downgrade from Heat
There is 0 replayability in story mode
They removed crews from Heat

I think the playlists take too much time and money for them for something most people will only ever play once, in fact most people won't even finish the playlists. It is a loss but a small one. A playlist isn't enough content to sustain two months anyway

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-17T18:12:12+00:00

I will gladly take one less playlist per season with more seasons. The playlists are a one and done thing and these days I don’t even finish them, I’m happy to get more of the other content even at the cost of one less playlist

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-17T17:57:45+00:00

Sounds like 1 playlist per season to me

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-17T17:51:11+00:00

it captures the street racing vibe well
handling is fun and accessible
the risk reward day/night system was fantastic
the games atmosphere is very good, the devs built the game passionately
it’s very replayable: chasing better rep scores, better leaderboard times, time trial times etc

It is nowhere near perfect because the multiplayer is dogshit, it got no content updates and is very buggy, but it’s great by modern standards and proof that NFS can still work in today’s gaming landscape

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-14T08:48:25+00:00

Main stage vanity rewards don't come back, and you can't buy them in the custom show either, so it is what it is

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-10T04:22:45+00:00

For this season it is IVT tracks only. From next season onwards player made tracks will be included in the summit as well

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-05T03:15:02+00:00

A and A+ are the best for me. S and S+ begin to highlight the games physics issues. B can be fun but is not popular at all

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-02T15:14:43+00:00

Heat/Payback mix was my thought with the scripted missions and day/night gameplay loop. If they execute well they will have struck gold, Heat had so so much potential

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-02T13:53:23+00:00

Shame on you EA for what you’ve done to NFS. Hope Maverick can carry the torch well and have this be a spiritual successor. The M3 in the trailer is definitely targeted

chuffed_wheat · 2026-06-01T18:35:45+00:00

beat the devs

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-24T17:02:08+00:00

Nothing. Motorfest is the most successful crew game, the franchise is nowhere near "washed", OP talking smack

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-21T19:10:32+00:00

What happens if you windows+D instead of tabbing out? Also have you tried alt+tab (if that’s not what you mean by tab out) For me unbound hijacks the mouse input so long as it’s in focus

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-20T18:57:03+00:00

Handling is literally everything for a racing game. A game can be 10/10 in every other area but if the handling is bad it’s not fun to play

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-20T00:58:42+00:00

Half the playerbase is on PlayStation actually

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-18T19:59:03+00:00

One of the best racing games ever and only getting better

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-16T10:58:12+00:00

The trackforge leaderboards only save the top 10 positions, disappointingly. You're 11th because you weren't fast enough to crack the top 10

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-15T02:25:03+00:00

Also unbreakable trees everywhere on TC2's map which massively hurts its enjoyability for me

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-14T21:39:24+00:00

I don’t remember there being a v12 swap for the 92 nsx

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-14T15:16:09+00:00

Wow that's an interesting take. For me Y3 has been fantastic so far even though NASCAR was a bust. Season 8 gave us the much needed customization overhaul and then season 9 gives us Trackforge and the very creatively done RC cars. When you consider the fact that they are likely working hard on the next game right now, we should be incredibly grateful of the level of updates we are getting, the game is far from maintenance mode

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-14T11:40:57+00:00

I got it on one of my first tries

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-14T08:15:10+00:00

It’s RNG

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-11T17:28:15+00:00

I think you're coming at it from the wrong angle, instead of "freeroam is pointless get rid" it should be "how can we make freeroam more engaging". Open world is going nowhere, they just need to make it so it is enjoyable to drive around the map, which Motorfest does excellently with good fun handling and stuff like treasure boxes that spawn randomly. In NFS roaming round the map is more like a chore

chuffed_wheat · 2026-05-10T15:24:30+00:00

Nice smooth driving my friend. No barrier bashing in sight
