NFS Glitches

I've been playing Most Wanted again recently (after a nice break of beating MGS 3), and I've noticed that if you hit a cop in a roadblock just right, every once in a while, nothing happens. Your car will continue its course and speed unaffected, and the cop doesn't move. You simply drives through him, as if he weren't actually there there.

I've also noticed a funny incongruety to the rap sheet:
Taz holds 1st place for a single pursuit in both damaged and immobilized cop cars, 50 of each in one puruit. Yet he's in last place for total police involvment, with a record 4 cars in one pursuit... which doesn't add up.
How can one damage and destroy 50 police vehicles in one pursuit, if one has never had more than 4 involved in a single chase???:odd:

So what kinds of glitches have you encountered playing Need For Speed? This thread is for ones from any of the PS2 titles, so specify.
 
Yeah the Rap sheet thing is wierd, though I just noticed it and thought about it. The pass-through-cop glitch I try to to it right and many times I do it. i knew the cop one, the Rap one, nope
 
I think I just found the mother of them all. But it's CD specific...I hope.......to my NFS U2 CD. My stability control is always on in drift mode no matter what the options menu says. It acted normall for a few minutes and I turned it back on to see if that's what it was and sure enough. Engine cut off and bogged just like before. Turned it back off and enjoyed every minute of my being able to drift properly......with wheelspin. Till I left, got another car and came back to the track to find it stuck on again. Damnit. All well..was fun while it lasted. Maybe it'll quit glitching agian sometime.
 
This one only happened once, and I haven't been able to repeat it since.

In NFS:MW:BE, I was in a pursuit, with the heavy 4WDs chasing me, and I got slammed into the barrier where it stops you going ino the next area until you unlock it. Well, after about 30sec of the camera flicking around all over the place, it finally came back to normal, and I was on the other side of the barrier!

I could see the cop cars sitting there on the side of the barrier that I had just come from, and there was NO traffic on the side I ended up on.

So I explored, and it turns out I had the whole harbour area (I forget what it's called now) to myself. It made for some impressive high speeds and drift action. It didn't let me evade the pursuit while I was there, so I just drove back through the brrier I came through, at top speed and evaded them easily.

Like I said, I can't seem to get it again, it must had been a freak thing where I happened to hit the right point at the right angle at the right speed, with the right part of my car (neon) at the right time, to manage to get through what may be a 1pixelx1pixel gap in the wall.

I dunno?
 
I noticed some glitches in NFS:U2:

On one of the URL tracks, there's a jump were when coming back donw, every car spins out, the AI thats is.

Also into another corners, a left-right, right-left in normal direction, the AI goes left-right-into the wall before going in the actually right :dunce:
 
In Underground 2 in one of the races where there's a gate, blocking the road, which you can break through I managed to unintentionally hit the gate at the perfect angel to launch the car sky high into the air. Sure it just landed back down and I won the race but to this day I've never been able to pull it off again.
 
Many of the highway walls in U2 will knock you out of contention of a race because the invisible wall behind the graphic juts out into the road, so if you happen to be riding the wall in that area you will hit it and be thrown accross the road. The was also an even worse problem in the original U, because it was in a spot that you always hit coming off of a turn.
Another one is that when you use nitrous and enter a shop (say you were speeding towards the shop icon with nitrous being spent), occasionally it will show flames coming out of the pipes as if you were using notrous as you enter the shop through the mini-cutscene. Even more rare, sometimes it is stil happening in the shop.
There was the trade-in money glitch in the first U.
In U2, there is also a little section by the eastern body shop in the main part of the city where the actual ground and the image don't line up, and you can ramp quite high off of it, even at low speeds.

What trade-in money glitch?

The only glitch I have seen from the Underground series is running out of races to run, even with a high enough rating car, and a fair amount of the game to go.
 
I did notice the roadblock glitch. I don't own MW but I was playing at the friend's house.

A glitch I have for NFSU2 is about the trunk lid, while customizing cars at arcade mode. If you go to Car Specialities, and go down to Sound System (or whatever it was called) and press X, then quickly press /_\ then the trunklid will stay up forever until you switch to another car. Open the doors with Scissor doors while the trunk is open and it looks pretty neat!

Btw, my game completion says 67% (I think) even though I've done all races! The only thing I haven't tried out yet is the SUV's - is that the reason why it's stuck on 67%?
 
Don't let this thread die please...

Another (sort of glitch):

When you are in a chase, and go onto a ledge (ex. on top of the buses at the bus station) most of the cops are not smart enough to come up using the ramp; however the cops will keep smacking into the buses frantically to try to get to you. Now we all know that if the cruisers are destroyed or is damaged they give you bounty - which is what you'll get easily with this trick. It takes long but it's easy. All you need to do is check periodically whether if a cop was smart enough to come up behind you, and run off if it happens.

Now if you want to cool off then back up to the center of the buses and wait until you cool off. Don't stay near the edge, it will never cool off that way.

Now I wonder if anyone knew this...
 
MW glitch........if you go up on a elevated area.....like by the pier or in the bus station......the cops can't see you even though you can see them. You can use it to cool off at any time......I've found them all through the city.. there's 5 that I've found that you can go to and they'll just drive around under you untill you've cooled off.
 
NFSU2 Glitch. its probably been said sumwhere on here but if u use hydraulics in a closed area like in a corner the car jumps insanely high, givin out airtime points.
 
I've done that. Just line up to the wall, and try to do hydraulic while up against the wall. I think I've got nearly 500 points from that once.

thats not true, its called an SUV, gotta use them if ur in that situation. dont ask me how i figured it out coz i hate using SUV's but thats what u gotta do
 
A bit of an old thread but no point starting a new one.

I'm about 95% of the way through the career and 92% through the game as a whole. I've got nearly 11 million bounty yet on the rapsheet I have no reckless driving charges, I'm certain I've gone over 210 when on one of the many chases. This is a bug, yes or no?
 
Only if a cop saw you/passed you when you were going past 200mph. Also, if you are a certain distance away from the cops, they wont catch the Reckless Driving. I noticed the same thing.
 
in carbon there are 3 spoilers you can't get even if you have unlocked them in the reward cards etc. They are the specter n/cf Autosculpt, Slingshot n/cf (this one really anoys me as this is the best looking spoiler in the game IMO) and the mystic normal and carbon fibre:(
 
Isn't it sort of like the Phoenix, Shockwave and two other special spoilers in NFSU 2?

Just that in NFSU 2 the aforementioned spoilers can be unlocked when you complete the game.
 
I've only got 1/2 a rewrd card to go till ive completely clocked the game and i still have'nt got them so...
 
Okay, I just did a Sprint in Most Wanted for getting up the stats for Bull. My Elise had some slight level 1 heat, and a pursuit engaged halfway through the race. I gather up a little more heat, but as I cross the finish line and go back to free roam, I hear "Pursuit raised to condition five." That's right, FIVE From 1. Sure enough, a helicopter and Federal Corvettes begin chasing me, and I quickly get stuck at a spikestrip in a hot, freash, cop car sandwich. My inertialess featherweight of a car is quickly busted. :grumpy:

Somehow I managed to bypass 3 entire levels of pursuit.
 
well ive found a hopefully new glitch in Carbon. If you have a very fast very low car, like a fully tuned Murcielago, if you try a J-Turn while going at max speed in reverse, when you spin the car 180, the car takes off and flips and spins in the air.

it happened with my '69 Dodge Charger too.

also, what i discovered last night on Carbon is that if you repeatedly tap the reverse button while stationary, you can produce constant flames coming from the exhaust...

dunno if these glitches have already been posted somewhere.....:dunce:
 
I was reading one of the game gidesfor Carbon and it said that you can get the AE86 Corolla. But I can't unlock it. Also When I beat My Carbon: CE for the ps2 with my Skyline I didn't get any of the bonus items. You know like how you can get extra money or the guy's car. I really wanted that Audi R8. This also happened to a friend o' mine.
 
it gets unlocked but you can only use it in quickrace(R8, leman Whatever it's called), also ive completed everything in the game including the rewards cards and done all the quickraces etc and still no spoilers OR MR2 OR Trueno OR G25 OR 07'' GT500 OR intercepter(federal pursuit corvette) OR porshe 911 turbo OR GT3 RS:( This game's screwed, the only reason i bought was so i could use my g25 with the trueno, MR2, 911 and murcialago. 3 of which i don't have/ can't get :mad:

Maybe it's just your copy. It's not uncommon for a fubared copy of a disk to be released... Shoot, maybe even a scratch, for the longest time my TOCA 2 disk would let me use both the controller and DFP at the same time, allowing me to use my MC2 clutch pedal/shifter technique. I was very dissapointed when the game wouldn't load one day and after washing it off I could no longer use the controller at the same time as the DFP... :guilty: :grumpy:
