Hello everyone.

I saw some forums around about NFS 2015 and tbh there isnt many.
i would simply like to give opinions on certin things about the game in hope
someone from EA would somehow catch a glimps of it.

here are some suggestions and some issues i would like to adress and share with you all.



[Visual customization]
1-Having a (Mirror option) to copy whats on one side to the other!
2-There is no options to recolor Spoilers!
3-ALL spoilers and hoods should have A. normal version B. Carbon fiber version!
4-There is no option to recolor side mirrors! i did recolor mines using the "side"
of car and slowly messing around till it covers the lights (works 100% only with 4 cars)
5-The famous E3 promises (almost typed lies) from EA appeared day 1 as you hardly have ANY costumization choices.
we are in 2015. give us 50+ of every parts, even if you have to invent them. be creative thats what we want from you. and give us what you promised when you advertised. would look too weird? thats the fun about it. give us everyting and let US decide what looks good and dosnt
from our own tastes.

please do not tell me we waited all this time
only to get a supra in a old school back to life original need for speed with:

-only 4 hoods
-only 2 bumpers
-0 headlights
-spliters in carbonfiber only
-none removable or changable side flasher lights
-3 canards that look the same....
-0 rear canards
-only 2 fenders front
-only 1 fender back
-fenders canards not recolorable
-only 1 side mirror
-only 1 rediculous rear bumber...
-0 trunk lids
-0 rear headlights
-a rediculous song list choice that suits ONLY 1 listending type of people
(the ones who like hip hop and techno.) whats so hard about adding 100...200...300 songs ???
heck, i can put almost 3000 on my 2 inch 20$ USB key so... whats the deal about not doing this on
a 600$ console with massive HD space ?
-tires should have recolorable options and contrast brightness option. they are too bright.
-tires lettering should be recolorable. they are yellow-ish
(did your art designer had a flat screen uncalibrated set on WARM?)
-Give us a option to put our OWN text on the tires..
-door handles should be recolorable and even have different designs. why not ?
-ALL and i mean ALL! rims should have primary and secondary working color edits ! and this is
crucial
-The color palette window should have numbers when you tick left or right to remember your choice with ease... believe it or not, sometimes i have to put something on my TV next to the color scrollbar for me to scroll the other side of the car color vinyl to put them at the exact same color point.
-ALL cars over 80k are almost ALL not customizable hell.... why not ??? trying to keep
its originality untuched ? this isnt forza its need for speed (you made the game lol)
we spent 100$ on it and youre telling us we cant add a single hood on our ferrari ???? not acceptable
who cares if it dosnt exist... make some up...
-all cars at all price should ALL have a insane amount of options for its visuals. THIS is the main reason
why you sold copies of the game.
-wheres the cameleon color effects?
-wheres the under neon glow? or bumper glow ? or wheel glow effects?
-why cant we clearly see other ppls car ? no option to click and "view car" its too dark outside its night time and ZERO color choices are showing as good as it did in the garage....

Since Underground, you had 13 years before this 2015 game came out, yet
you give us less content than what we had on a OLD console!
definitely isnt because you didnt have enough time or budget

youre tellings us to go crazy with the costumization so , why havent you go crazy on creating the parts?

you said it your self


______________________________________________________________
-EA-
GAME FEATURES:

Rich authentic customization. Build a car to reflect your character with (extensive) visual and performance customization options. Because (your ride should look as good as it handles).
______________________________________________________________

to me customization is important in this genre of game. and it should be for everyone who spent
$ on it.



[Gameplay]
1-(In my opinion) either remove cops or give them a brain. nuff said.
2-(In my opinion) remove the atrocious crash cam that breaks gameplay.
3-whats with being unable to stop hearing other peoples mics ??? why would i want to hear
random people eating chips for 15 minutes while am in my garage ???
mic should be "friends/groups only.

4-AI story mode is (sorry to say) unballanced and untested.
Youre going to make me believe Amy goes from 700HP in 1 mission
then all sudden a whooping 500000HP in the one right after with her own car that youve crushed since the start???????
(some of you people will probably know what i mean by this so wont give spoilers)

5-when we buy cars, how about telling us whats FWD, RWD, AWD ?
you sold me your game now i have to google the information ??

i know there will be more cars in future updates dlc wich you CLAIM will be free but
you know....... youre... EA.. so...

6-The garage only have 5 cars. why?
forza have 600.

and before anyone say i cant compare, YES i can! want to know why ? because the game costed you
the same amount.

little funny exemple:
if i order pizza from 2 different restorants, and when i receive them 1 is full and the other
only have 4 slices and both costed me 15$ each ... normal ?


i really hope in your DLCs you do NOT add super cars, it dosnt belong in THIS game in particular.
most want a street racer game not a super car racer. they are fast but hella boring no fun to toy
with in visuals at all
some others are just old and boring.

i mean. who the hell wants to play with a 1976 Volkswagon golf ? i loled.. might perform
but what about your "stylish street racing car visual" ?
am surprised no one in your offices owns a Infinity G35 sport and suggested to get it in the game..


Anyways, this was what i wanted to say and share. hope i didnt offend vexed or made anyone
feel bad. simply wanted to send something out there that can hopefully someday fall in the right eyes
and help get us what we all deserve.

btw i do love the game, really fun. if i didnt like it, i would of never write this long thing

Best regards to you all.

(ps) english isnt my native language, my appologies for the typos and ponctuations

It sounds to me that you just want Nfs Underground and there already exist two of those so maybe play them instead?

I agree that they bragged to much about their customisation to get away with so few parts, and no way to copy design to the other side is just stupid. But we don't need to be able to wright our own text on tires, what's the point of that? Neon lights is also pointless.

You don't like the Golf Mk.1, fine, but maybe others do?

If you don't like the crash cam stop crashing.

The police is stupid but at least there is police. They are not hard to outrun if you don't like them. I'm just happy the police don't have stupid weapons and stuff like the later Nfs installments.

I like the game and hopefully they patch the game and give us some awsome (free)Dlc's to make this the game it deserves to be.

NFS 2015 is underground remake. so no i dont want to play others i want to play this one lol

yes i know others might like it. but my point was to mark the fact that not many modern street racers now days use anything under 1998.

If you don't like the crash cam stop crashing.
1200hp in a darken night map with almost nothing but tight streets and cornering, rain on the screen, AI cars driving in the center of both lanes, AI and players rubber banding , AI stopping for no reasons and doing Uturns on a flash , a integrated sense of speed effect and a unrealistic "arcade" game play and a analog stick... are you saying it isnt normal that i crash?

(not to mention the fact that you can smash in ground bolted light poles without even scratching your car but a 4" inch thick tree with 2 braches causes a massive crash leading to crash cinematic at almost every end of a curve haha)

look. all i mean by this is the fact that crash cam could happen less often and not lasting 3.5 seconds everytime thats what i personally think would be a little less anoying =)
 
Update the game with a DLC that adds a second garage. I know its going to happen but they need to do this.

Why do I know this is going to happen? Take a look at GTAV, people are still playing that game since 2013 and the popularity hasnt even died down. If they want people to keep playing the game they need updates to extend the longevity. Limiting the game to 5 cars is a little ridiculous. With how easy it is to make money in the game I'd love to own every car in the game, modified and customized. Thats one thing that will keep people playing.

You know this is going to happen based on GTA. Really? Difference is, GTA gains income when they allow players to own more assets in the game as people buy shark cards but in NFS all additional content will be free so I don't think Ghost will go through the effort in allowing players owning more cars and Ghost have confirmed nothing & probably won't be in relation to expanding the amount of cars you can own.

Well let me remind that this is Ghost we're talking about. It's their first attempt on a NFS game that has customization. If this was Black Box then I would have been disappointed due to the lack of fake body parts for each car but this is Ghost we're talking. Give them time to release updates.
 
You know this is going to happen based on GTA. Really? Difference is, GTA gains income when they allow players to own more assets in the game as people buy shark cards but in NFS all additional content will be free so I don't think Ghost will go through the effort in allowing players owning more cars and Ghost have confirmed nothing & probably won't be in relation to expanding the amount of cars you can own.

Yea im aware of shark cards, but free DLC's appeal to players alot more. If something is free, that will get players to play more, which is my point.

Anyway, they said DLC's will be free, if you understand politics and whatever, youd realize that that means jack ****. Who's to say they wont do what rockstar does. They are a business trying to make more money. I wouldnt be surprised if these free DLC's include their own versions of shark cards.

Is it hard for you to interpret my point because you have just gone the wrong way. So let me break it down. I think the number of slots in the garage is set in stone due why would Ghost go through all the effort of allowing players to own more cars when they really don't benefit from it even though they will push out other free content. Also Ghost have confirmed there will be no micro transactions.

Also this point makes no sense at all.

Licensing songs isn't free. Including that many songs would not only cost them much more but would also require more work on the front end implementing the music names etc. as well as actually coding them in to the game.

You're absolutely right about a lot of stuff listed though. The lack of customization is a real kick in the teeth when the entire game was sold on the idea of the "deepest customization". I wouldn't have even minded if they had released the game as a decent racer with the current modification options but to shout about the mod options then provide us with not a lot to do on most cars is flat out lying to your customers.

Omitting the mirrored option for decals is also a HUGE oversight that I cannot believe made it into the released game. If an indie dev had released a game this unfinished they'd have been thrown to the wolves with remarks of "they've ripped us all off and lied to us!" but because it's Need for Speed it gets a free pass with fairly decent reviews.

But a lot of the customization parts are licensed unlike back in Underground where all of them were fictional or knock offs off bodykits in real life. They would pretty much have to go through the same thing as getting licensed soundtrack. NFS No Limits had way more fictional modifications than NFS 2015 which would pretty much explain why NL had more body modifications for the cars than NFS 2015.

I hope the first update for NFS 2015 does add the mirrored decal option though. Some people don't want to be spending an entire day trying to make a decent livery for their cars while they haven't even finished the game yet.

i didnt think about the copyright part >.<


as for the coding, meh not hard at all. just a day would do lol

if i can spend 10hs a day working in a exterior brick industry... someone sitting down at a desk with a box of tim horton donnuts and some coffee doing some /copy /paste /rename on a coded text file while watching is FB replies on is second monitor...shouldnt be too hard hahahahahaha =P

Except it would be significantly more expensive.

Also Ghost have confirmed there will be no micro transactions.
The benefit of allowing more cars is getting more choice on your own end, and not being forced to play a certain way. Another benefit would be, with the inclusion of dlc, not having to get rid of something you like just to be able to try out the DLC. The problem there is that there is the potential of not liking one of the current DLC cars, so you would have to backtrack and build up your original car again.

There is less benefits from restricting the amount of cars own(if there are even any) than there is to allowing more. Hopefully they see that removing the restriction would be a big plus for everyone. It wouldn't hurt any one, as the ones that just want 5 cars can stick with it, and the ones that want more can get more. It's a win-win for everyone.
 
Here is my suggestion, buy just these 3 cars to complete the game:

- Your first car (any car)
- Mazda RX-7 (it's fast and really easy to drift, great for any event)
- Lamborghini Aventador (same fast, easy to drift as the RX-7, but waaaaaay more powerful)
- As soon as you have enough money to buy the next car, do it.

Also:
- Stay away from the Xtreme drift tires, stick with the Xcess ones, trust me.
- Get used to using the quick tune slider at the top of the handling menu. I never messed with the other settings.
- I used one car for both speed and drift events. Take a screenshot (or picture with your phone) of the speed and drift settings once you get them how you want them. This saves money to keep upgrading your car as things get unlocked. It also takes nearly the same amount of time to change the quick tune setting vs. getting into another car cause you have to warp to the garage anyway.

GL! It was a fun (and quick) game 👍

Turning Feedback into Features


Welcome to the very first edition of Under the Hood, your regular behind the scenes look at all things Need for Speed. In this edition, we will be talking about some of your feedback we’ve received since launch and also give an overview of what you can expect in the game update.

Last week was an incredibly proud moment for us at Ghost Games as we ushered in a new era for Need for Speed. However, this is only the start of the journey.

Before we discuss the future we wanted to take a few moments to say… thank you. You, the fans, have been very supportive of what we’re doing here, and the amount of positivity and feedback we’ve received since the announce has driven us on to create the best Need for Speed experience possible.

The future of Need for Speed is as much in your hands as it is ours, so please do keep the feedback coming. We’re deeply committed to creating not only the game that you, our players want, but the game you deserve.

We are incredibly excited about what we’re calling the Living Game where we’ll be releasing updates to the game. We’ll be expanding on your Need for Speed experience with brand new content, improvements, and fixes - all of which starts in just a few weeks with our first update.

We have been reading your feedback over the launch period, alongside media reviews and taking stock. One of the big talking points that we’ve seen has been ‘rubber banding’ or ‘AI Catchup’. Taking this feedback on board, the work is already underway to balance the AI, and this will be live alongside the first Living Game update.

Last week we pushed live a fix that looked to address the stutter players on Xbox One were experiencing. Early reports are looking good with a number of players now reporting that the stutter is a thing of the past, but we will as always, continue to monitor.

Our first Living Game update is due to arrive before the end of November and below you’ll find an overview of what will be included.

  • More balanced ‘AI Catch Up’
  • New Wrap Editor features:
  • Mirror functionality
  • Improved colour picker
  • Hoonicorn and Morohoshi-San Diablo
  • Gifted upon completion of their respective narrative threads
  • First look at neons
  • Early in development version on Morohoshi-San’s Diablo
  • REP increase 50-60
  • 3x Trophies & Achievements
  • New daily challenges
  • x30 new pre-set wraps
  • General bugs, tweaks and improvements
This is just the beginning and we look forward to what the future holds for Need for Speed.

This is a exellent start.

The songs themselves have to go in, that's the first step. Then they have to implement text changes in the game itself, in the menus and in the credits. In every language.

Then comes the testing of each of those areas as well as actually making sure the new music plays in the game. Again, each area has to be tested in each language along with various other things like Sony and Microsoft TRCs to ensure they fall in line with rules set out by both companies.

That's a fair bit of money spent just to implement more music! This is before bug fixes, too.

well having a option to select music from our pluged in USB would be cool.. like a integrated MP3 player that u could see on screen kinda like a "NfS Winamp" lol many games do that.

so 1 script 0 copyrights and 1000s of ppl happy =P

plus, i think it would be nice to have a different music selector visual style depending on the sound system we buy for our cars
