    Meta: Introducing the Discord Arena, and re-introducing r/NFSRides

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 06:18 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    As most people are basically done with the game and are in need of something new, and with the UTH (and subsequently the first major update) on the horizon, we would like to introduce you to the Arena, in our official Discord server.

    This project is still under development, but there, you can find some weekly challenges: one at day with restrctions, one more lax at night. Compete in and see what you've got against the rest of our community ! Glory awaits you... or at least we hope you get some fun from trying to beat the others. If the interest picks up, we may go to the further stages, and organize PVP events, or tournaments. This could be nice while we all wait for a Speedlists update, or anything similar.

    For the folks who aren't too much into time attack, we would like to remind you to check our sister sub dedicated to screenshots and liveries, r/NFSRides. You may have noticed that we may delete picture posts at our own discretion, this is to promote having more discussion-focused posts and being able to say more than "nice car dude". However, at r/NFSRides, you are free to post all the screenshots you want. This sub currently has 3,000+ members and is still growing !

    Thank you for your attention.

    Update Notes

    Additions

    Steering wheels

    We know those of you that own a steering wheel are enjoying all kinds of racing games, and we want to give you the option to use your equipment in Need for Speed, too. We have been testing some steering wheels, but a few others that are not on this list might also work:

    • Thrustmaster T300RS (PS4, PC)
    • Thrustmaster TX (Xbox, PC)
    • Thrustmaster T150 (PS4, PC)
    • Thrustmaster TMX (Xbox, PC)
    • Logitech G29 (PS4, PC)
    • Logitech G920 (Xbox, PC)
    • Fanatec CSL Elite Racing Wheel (PS4, PC, XB1)

    For PC players: Make sure to install the Logitech G Hub, regardless of the wheel manufacturer and model you are using.

    For Console players: Make sure that your steering wheel is assigned to your console profile before launching the game. When launching the game, press the respective steering wheel button on the title screen to enable steering wheel play: A on Xbox, X on PlayStation.

    Please note that in order to access all features in the game, you will need to use a combination of steering wheel and controller.

    ​

    Chat Wheel

    To make communication in-game easier, we are implementing a chat wheel. That means you will be able to send pre-made text messages to friends or rivals. From saying hello, challenging players to a race or just asking them to follow you, we hope this feature makes communication easier for you. It also helps to cross language barriers, as incoming messages will be displayed in the same language that your game is set to. You can also turn the chat messages on or off at any time.

    ​

    Keys to the Map

    You might notice a new tab in the menu, the in-game store. It will feature the "Keys to the Map". This is a real-money purchase which will uncover the locations on the in-game map, including collectibles, activities, and gas stations. You will still have to complete the activities like smashing billboards or 3-star jumps, but you won't have to look for the locations. This is one of the things we announced around Gamescom, and you could also call it a time-saver pack.

    Please note that one thing will not be revealed by the Keys to the Map: One safe house location will be uncovered and unlocked upon reaching a certain point in the campaign and is not included here.

    Keys to the Map

    ​

    Quality of Life improvements

    Using a controller with manual transmission

    • You have been bringing this one up a lot. When you're driving using manual transmission on a controller, the bumper buttons not only are shifting up and down, but share a lot of different functionalities depending on context. You can bribe a cop, enter the garage, start an event, swap a car and more. Especially when shifting up after leaving the garage, this can be slightly awkward.
      To improve the experience, all actions except shifting up and down now require you to hold the button for a short while to prevent accidental presses.
      Note that this change only affects players that are using manual transmission.

    ​

    Gas Stations

    • You've been clear on that one: You want to showcase your cars in the best light, without any damage. We added some functionality to the gas stations to give your car a complete repair when driving through a gas station. Functional damage will be fixed, but also dust will be washed off and scratches repaired.

    ​

    UI

    • After finishing a night event, some UI elements will now stay on your screen. Both the minimap and the speedometer will remain visible, to make it easier to find your way to the nearest safe house if you want to bank your REP. Or to the gas station, if you need repairs and want to go again.
    • We added a notification to the garage that will inform you if a server will be shutting down soon.
    • Moved the "Escaped" notification to the bottom of the screen. It will now be shown in the same location as the "Escaping" notification after you escaped successfully. That should prevent a few accidents.
    • There was no button prompt for "Back" in the decal menu, so we added one.
    • The VoIP status bar is now visible on all screens if you're in a party.
    • When you quit a mission or event, the UI will now prompt you that all of your progress will be lost.
    • We implemented a new waypoint icon and also polished some icons and notifications around the minimap.

    ​

    Rewards for Drift events

    • We updated the way rewards work for drift events. Now you will receive a reward even if you don't hit the target score.

    ​

    ​

    • A spectator at the start of the "Foxbat" event was defying gravity as he jumped down a light in an instant. He adheres to the laws of physics now.

    • During one of the off-road events, you could encounter Rokkit & Rokkit. They probably thought they had better chances of winning when signing up for the race twice. We had a chat with them and one of them agreed to give up their spot for another driver.
    • Fixed an issue that could lead to AI drivers floating without cars when restarting events.
    • When two players want to start the same event but each their own race, the countdown timer will now count down to 0 before the second player can start their race.

    • In rare cases, when crashing the car after a jump at Heat level 5, the car and UI would disappear, which should now be fixed.
    • Updating a crew description with a text containing profanity would prompt you with "Operation successful", it should now say "Operation failed".

    • We improved the readability of the "Need for Speed Rivals" license plate option in the customization menu.
    • We fixed an issue that would prevent you from unlocking the Drift Story introduction. This could happen when you had a very, very specific combination of car parts that were just below the requirements to unlock the story, which was not reflected in the UI before.
    • We bolted on some car parts of vehicles that shouldn't have been removable in the first place.
    • You can no longer select "Swap Car" in the garage if you don't have a car to swap to.

    • Similarly, a jump in Grenada Wetlands should now award you with three stars if the cinematic is playing and you achieve the required distance.

    I played NFS Hot Pursuit a lot when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at the game but I sure had a lot of fun. So, a couple of years passed and I decided to play it again. Today I just finished the game, getting gold at all of the events. Feeling proud of myself :')

    Let me just start by saying we as a community have the right to give our thoughts and opinions pros or cons I think we can all agree that we all want the best for this game.

    I've been playing heat since launch and although I can agree the storyline is short and the game is still buggy let's not forget how the game came out 2 months ago with Christmas and New Years holidays a lot of ghosts staff were probably on break atleast now they are focusing on the game.

    The under the hood content I think we can all agree it's not what we were hoping for but you can't deny that it's not a needed update, the game has no form of communication until now with the chat wheel, steering wheel support is only going to make the game way more fun, and keys to the city although a lot of players aren't too happy just know the money raised chances are will go towards future content.

    That being said the amount of bugs in heat is becoming hard to enjoy so atleast were getting a big repair I'd rather have a minor update that fixes majority of the small problems rather than a major update that chances are we wouldn't even be able to enjoy with all the bugs.

    Honestly I didn't want to make this post I just wanted to enjoy playing nfs update in peace, but you guys are a bunch of cyber Karen's complaining to management and giving Ana a hard time when not only was she nice enough to make an Instagram video a few weeks back to let you guys know to cut the shit and that she has nothing to do with Ghost, to the point where she feels as though if the abuse doesn't stop that she might leave her position which not only is it a HUGE! Point in her career to work for such an amazing company, you people are going to go about your day and cyber bully her over something that she has no control over, to anyone who has said anything negative towards Ana, Max or anyone from the team just know when your acting like toddlers throwing temper tantrums when you don't get your way you represent all us gamers quiet frankly your embarrassing us as a community.

    If anyone has sent a negative comment towards Ana or anyone from ghost then I suggest you apologise because quiet frankly its cowardly and NOBODY! Deserves to be cyber bullied to the point where they feel they need to find a new career, just be patient we already have a survey which allows fans to share their ideas which shows the company is willing to listen to fans what more can we ask for?

    JusticeForAna

    Edit: it's nice to see how amazing this community can be and I appreciate everyone coming together to talk about this issue, unfortunately trolls are just fucking losers who have nothing better to do than pick on people because it's not like they get any attention in the real world so they try to get a reaction out of people it's pathetic. But overall I'm glad we can discuss this and I can't wait for the new update coming to heat, the under the hood update was a topic I've always wanted to talk about but quite frankly I didn't think anybody would give a shit so let me just end this by saying God bless each and every single one of you who was kind and respectful during this whole meltdown cyberbullying is awful and I hope in the future we can do a lot more to stand up against any bullied victims.

    Am I the only one who wants mileage counter back in NFS? (In the picture you can see my poor attempt at adding it)

    Traffic behavior

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 08:21 PM PST

    Okay so, I haven't seen anyone complain about this, but I cannot stand how the traffic will just stop in the middle of an intersection as you approach them. It is so much harder than it needs to be, to try and like anticipate the moment this AI traffic car will slam on their brakes. It happens WAY too often (at least to me) where the traffic car stopping is the only reason why I hit them at all. I don't know what's wrong with just letting the traffic cars drive as they have in previous games... Especially when a single mess-up like hitting a traffic car hard can (and usually will) cost you the entire race.

    ... I will say though, I've really, really enjoyed Heat otherwise, and I'm feeling optimistic about the game's future. :)

    NFS 2015 vs NFS HEAT, Graphics Comparison 1

    A shower thought on Heat's story

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:10 AM PST

    So... it got me thinking. Heat has all the material for a compelling story. But I feel that Joe being the character to drive the Polestar is a miss. Here are my thoughts.

    Instead of the flashback race being 5 days earlier, set it a year ago (2019) with Lucas driving the Polestar and the race is actually the one Ana has been yapping about - being close to joining the League and almost quit.

    So picture this, race begins and the first voice we hear is Lucas'. He's a hotshot racer kinda like Ana is with all the bravado and ignorance of young age. The race then gets interrupted by a younger Mercer - a highway patrol cop. He's the Shaw that chases your car down. The two have shared history since for Mercer, taking down Lucas is personal. Kind of like how Cross approached our character in MW05. This is the night Lucas goes down.

    The race continues but in the heat of the moment. Between being part of the League and being safe. Lucas remembers a his last argument with Papi scolding him for being a deviant. Lucas pulls out of the race, Mercer chases him down and Lucas only escapes by wrecking some debris (like a pursuit breaker) which leaves the Polestar crawling towards the Cloudbank safehouse.

    Sitting inside his decrepit car, he breaks down and decides to forego racing completely. As memories of Papi come crashing down on him and how he should've listened. He leaves the car, leaves the garage and vows never to race again instead opting to be a mechanic. The safehouse is boarded up.

    Cut to Mercer, recovering at a hospital after he almost got crushed by his patrol car. He realizes that the force needs more than just one guy chasing these racers. He needs an entire unit. This solidifies his resolve to demand from his superiors the need for the High Speed Task Force.

    The game then begins with you - a guy/gal joining the Speedhunters Showdown and visiting the Rivera Garage... this is when Ana gets introduced as the hotshot that Lucas was. It also gives more solid grounding as to why Lucas hung up the driving gloves.

    Mid story: Have Mercer visit the Rivera garage to threaten Lucas, plant bugs. The force overhears you and Ana chatting about your nighttime exploits and Lucas takes the fall as he's sheltering you both. He spends jail time. All your cars are seized and either Ana/the Player asks Dex for help. Dex points you to the boarded up Cloudbank safehouse, our hero car lies in shambles and the three of you fix it back up. The Polestar is used for the epic breakout and both Mercer and his now lackey Shaw chase you down in souped up cop cars, Heat gets escalated past 5 and Shaw's car gets totalled in the chaos. Mercer chases you down and tries to run you off the road, it's personal after all. But he gets cocky and the Vette hurtles towards the bridge barrier and into the ocean. Your gang stops to investigate. The rest of the PCPD rush to the scene and Lucas decides to turn himself in, sparing Ana and you from jail time. You and Ana take the Polestar and drive away from the scene as Lucas gets surrounded by the PCPD. The screen pans towards Palm City's sunset and cop helos flying the ambient sound gets replaced by the voice of a newscaster reporting the arrest of Lucas Rivera. The reporter also says Frank Mercer's body is nowhere to be found but cops declare him dead.

    Another cutscene, Lucas is tried in court for the 'murder' of a high-ranking official. A short montage shows him getting locked up and the screen cuts to black.

    Fast forward a two years later and Lucas is freed and has given up racing entirely. It's the new season of the Showdown and you're participating. In those two years Ana has developed some mechanic skills of her own and she's working on the Polestar. Lucas is proud of what her sister has learned and helps her out with some tweaks. Over on the the TV, the new High Speed Task Force chief is giving a speech about ending illegal street racing. The voice is familiar - sly even, as if he's seen alot in his time. The news cameras pan slowly to his show face as he makes a firm decision to dedicate his work to avenging his old superior - Mercer. The face is revealed to be Cross, now a Major and the new leader of the reinvigorated Task Force.

    Endgame: Heat now goes up to 6 and Cross now joins the chase in his custom Corvette. Commanding and leading the operations.

    I wonder how accurate this is. Just so everyone knows this is google trends showing the search trends of Need for Speed from 2004 to present. By the way I took this snapshot with my phone so that’s why it’s vertical, sorry.

    Can someone please explain engine swaps to me?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:53 PM PST

    Im trying to learn as much about cars as possible, but im not sure what a wankle or a flat 6 is. Are engine swaps important, or should i just add parts individually on my own?

    Thanks!

    FM7 came out on xCloud, so I put my shitty wrap making skills to the test and slapped this together in honor of my favorite NFS.

    Lost account with NFS Most Wanted (2012) on it

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 10:30 PM PST

    Around 2017 I got NFS Most Wanted for PC, but unfortunately I used a yahoo mail for the origin account. Three years later, I'm trying to break into my own account because I forgot the password. The worst thing possible about yahoo? They delete your email address after 2 years of not using it, so now I'm just looking at a case with a nice CD in it. Is there a way to get my game back?

    Are there any persisting Rep Glitches persisting in NFS (2015)?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:30 PM PST

    As the title says, I'm looking for any glitch that can net me some fast infinite Rep which escaped the purge. Specifically in Need For Speed (2015).

    [NFS Carbon] Which is better: Endgame Mod + Improvement Mod VS. Ultimate Mod only?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:36 PM PST

    Ultimate Mod is NOT compatible with both Endgame Mod and Improvement Mod but it's content is practically the same amount and the same type as having both Endgame Mod and Improvement Mod installed simultaneously.

    What made me think about this comparison is the fact that the Ultimate Mod seems to be a more polished and refined version of the combined Endgame+Improvement mods. Problem is, I really like the Endgame Mod's post-career race with Nikki and I like the Improvement Mod's restoration of all cut content from NFS Carbon, which are stuff that are either absent or incomplete in the Ultimate Mod (I'm not sure though. Just my assumption.). I'm not familiar with all the contents of the Ultimate Mod to make my decision, hence why I am posting this question here.
