What is the deal with Ferrari's licensing anyway? Are they picky who it goes to or do they just come at a high price? In the latter's case, I'm sure EA could solve that :sly:

Ferrari never wanted their cars associated with cop chases. In the 1st Hot Pursuit & High Stakes Ferrari cars weren't drivable in Hot Pursuit mode. Now this all change with Hot Pursuit 2 where they, against Ferrari's wishes, put Ferrari's in Hot Pursuit mode making Ferrari pull their cars from NFS & all EA games permanently. EA ain't even allowed to show the original NFS High Stakes box art without being sued (why the one on the site a couple years ago had a Corvette w/ Porsche instead of Ferrari w/ Porsche). Also why those games ain't on the PS Store because EA ain't allowed to even touch them anymore.

So unless Ferrari gets off it's high horse & stops being a snooty crappy car maker we'll never see those cars grace any NFS game besides Shift 1 & that was only because of Xbox stroking Ferrari's coc..... urm....

I remember seeing that I think. Wasn't the Ferrari on the cover replaced with a Murciélago though? Which was funny because the Murciélago wasn't in the game nor was it even out during the time of High Stakes. Nice photoshop job though.

Oh yeah, I bought the Deluxe Pack but haven't had the time to game. Just reading everyone's thoughts about the update.
 
The methods of unlocking upgrades are getting quite tedious, especially since I've found the best places to do so (like drifting and jumping around Hughes Park to unlock Pro Track Tires and Lightweight Chassis).
 
The 80 1k Yard drifts can just be a big 80,000 drift...me and my mate did it with relative ease! Also what's up with the horrible paint job on the new 918?

Funny thing is Mercedes also didn't want their cars in Hot Pursuit mode either hence they weren't in that mode for High Stakes but in HP2 they were in that mode & guess what? Mercedes didn't throw a hissy fit & pulled thier cars from the series. Shows you who's the more mature car brand here.
 
If I was in charge of picking the cars, I'll replace the DBS with the new Charger (from Fast 5) so anyone outside the US can get the car. Also swap the 918 for another hot hatch just to keep with the Everyday cars theme (Megane RS perharps). For the Heroes pack I'll replace the 350Z and 911 with M3 GT2 (from Shift 1) and Reventon Police (from HP3, complete with working sirens instead of horns :D).
 
I hate how things go, I spent 90 minutes on the phone waiting and talking to an EA person just to have the phone die...So now I will probably have to spend another 90 minutes to get to where I was to see if I can get my speedpoints that I earned but not get. (Which from what I had would of helped me out to gain them back) but I have to wait again... (Will edit this if I get any answers)

Didn't know about that :crazy:, that explains a lot.

Very childish and close minded thinking by them...

GIVE US THIS CAR!

:drool:ing like :mad:

Who'd want a f:censored:ing Ferrari when you could have this?!
 
Wait, the Veneno is real? :scared:

I thought it was some crazy render car made by some design studio or mad Lambo fan... :crazy:
 
It's just the special Aventador as was the Reventon was to the Murc & as was the Sesto Elemento was to the Gallardo.
 
Well here I am waiting for what is now in the hands of the devs to figure out why I can gold an event and not get awarded 12K speedpoints. With all the information I have gave it will be in my favor. So it pays to bug EA :lol:

Just sign off the PSN while playing the game. That might solve the problem for now.

It doesn't. I played online and offline from PSN.

When I talked to them yesterday they did confirm my problem and is why I wait for the Devs since it is a server issue not a game/psn/DLC issue.
 
I just started Concours is there anyone else just started also to play with? starting over from level 1 and no mods is hard to win events against level 71 Concours players :lol: add beretta-gt88
 
Just use a high end car. I pro'd all mods with the F1. It only took 400 miles & I won events while doing so.

They put billboards on top of billboards now. The steps on the one road had one billboard on the second step now it has one on all 3 steps.

I noticed they didn't put any muscle sound in the Charger or Trans Am. All you hear on the Charger is the supercharger belt moving. :indiff:

Hope you know if we ever meet online I will bitch slap you repeatedly with the Charger. You never played with me online so don't make statements about how I play. Anyone here will say I don't douche it up on purpose. I only go after a-holes online. Damn punk kids.

See there you go, knowing the Charger is damn fast and heavy just a Veyron in disguise. You can't fool me nub. Let me guess,Ram Chassis all day right?

BTW the reason why the GT500 is changed slightly is because of trademark issues. Also if you look on the NFS site The GT2 has a bodykit on that you can't get. IDK if they changed it yet after I pointed it out. And the M3 GTR wasn't the fastest car in the original just had really good handling. It's NOS was piss poor though.
