NFS Unbound missions vs. lag/freezing issues
On my PlayStation 5 Slim, after purchasing the Ultimate Collection in NFS Unbound, when I complete challenges, activities, and missions in Freemon and get notifications, especially when escaping the police, I experience lag, stuttering, and freezing. Nothing happens in Long Down; it works normally. In story mode, if connected to the internet, it lags and stutters like PlayStation Freeroam. If not connected to the internet, it works normally. Can you help me?35Views1like1CommentNFS Unbound throttle technical issue
(I'm playing at G92 Logitech wheel setup, with shifter, PS5) I have a issue where sometimes, after a race starts (could be at starting line) or after a race finishes, the car throttles itself, like the rev limiter goes up and down quickly, and i can not control the car from that point further, i try to press the accelerator and nothing happens, i can brake tho. outside of the money i lose for when it happens starting a race, it clearly ruins the game... i've seen posts from 2 years ago featuring this same issue, its kinda sad seeing that after 2 years, no one has fixed it.29Views0likes1CommentG29 steering wheel with gear shifter causes car to stutter after retry
I'm on PS5 playing with the logitech G29 steering wheel + gear shifter. After I complete a race, if I choose to retry the race, after the race starts the car starts stuttering, like the gas pedal is being pressed up and down quickly, even though it's being fully pressed down. The only way to fix this is to restart the game. I've tried other things, like not messing with the gear shifter at all before the race starts, but I haven't found any other solutions yet.SolvedMy money doesn't increase after completing a race or event.
I was playing on my Xbox Series S progressing through the campaign mode, but one day I had a problem with the inventory synchronization; it got stuck in an infinite loop, So I restarted the game and started playing, and I realized that after winning a few races or doing some jumps, speed traps, etc. the money just doesn't save to my account. Other things are happening too, like the shelters are locked as if I'm not making any progress during the day, and I can't buy parts or cars. I restarted the game from scratch with a new save and it happened again; the infinite loop in inventory synchronization, restarting the game, and the event rewards don't appear, Any solution?25Views0likes0CommentsGame save file missing and game is not playble

The game is unplayable to the sense that you cannot rebind anything on the ps5 controller when on this game. Connecting though steam and setting up a config doesnt resolve the issue further. Loading into the game X on the ps5 or A on xbox for the main action button is R2 on the ps5 controller. camera is always facing down and looking backwards when booting into the game. Unplayable state on launch when heat worked like butter.18KViews8likes82CommentsNEW NEED FOR SPEED PLEASE

The game should accommodate us oldies! and should contain such please. CUSTOMIZATION: Realistic and in-depth solid customization of cars. I Optional effects.

Relay Races or Connecting races among peers online. Night Races: Contain leveling Races which offer rewards in parts. I Cars. I The Police to be brutal, SUVs and Rhino to be included. Evading allis and shortcuts to be provided. Equip police and Racers with chasing and evading mechanisms. The game should allow racers to be a police or racer. Ability to play online to gather as racer and chaser like it was in one of the Need for speed game. Please need for speed franchise make new need for speed with seamless online play. We are currently making best out of HEAT. We love HEAT. We want to be police in Heat. We want more HEAT levels.61Views0likes2CommentsMap Zoom Not Working on PC
On the map, on PC, up arrow key (or other up arrow key?) is shown for zoom in and Control key is shown for zoom out. Neither is working and I cannot find any key that does work for zoom. Also, there is no zoom keys shown on the keyboard mappings page. Help please!Solved4.6KViews0likes6Commentsmap zooming in
I'm on Xbox One and whenever I check the map, it keeps zooming in till the maximum. If I press the zoom out button it takes a while to zoom out, eventually it happens but even if I keep the button pressed it will zoom in again after 2 seconds. This is really annoying and I hope I'm just doing something wrong... any idea how to solve this?SolvedNFS Heat 2!
Hello EA / Criterion Games Team, I’m writing as a long-time Need for Speed fan to strongly request the development of Need for Speed Heat 2. NFS Heat had one of the best vibes in the franchise — the day/night racing system, intense police chases, deep car customization, and the Miami-style atmosphere made it feel fresh and exciting. Many fans, including myself, still consider it one of the strongest modern NFS titles. A true sequel with ,Expanded story mode. Even better customization. More aggressive police.Online improvements And a new city with the same Heat-style energy would be a huge win for the community. Please consider bringing back the Heat formula with a full sequel. There is real demand for it. Thank you for your time and for continuing the Need for Speed legacy. Sincerely, a fan46Views0likes1CommentGame Crashing - PS5
I downloaded yesterday as NFS Unbound is one of this months free games on the PS Store for PS5. The game crashed on the thrd race. Not a great start... I switched back to Wreckfest for the evening. I will give it another go tonight. I'm glad that after reading on here that you can disable to silly cartoon smoke effets your car gives out. When I first saw those, I thought I wouldn't be able to play the game, they were that annoying.54Views0likes1CommentNeed For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered-Find Session stopped working Xbox
On 10/20/25 there was a aws outage and ever since then the “find session” no longer works for xb players. It will try searching for the first time but will stop soon after and each subsequent time the search is shorter and shorter until it just kicks you back to the online multiplayer menu screen. The only way we can play is to create a match. Please fix ASAP!1.1KViews8likes24CommentsNFS Rebirth: A Visionary Proposal to Restore the Franchise's Core Identity
Subject: A Visionary Proposal for the Future of Need for Speed: Returning to the Roots with Prestige and Challenge Introduction: "I know that this text is extremely valuable; it is not just about saving a series, but about laying the foundation to revive and resurrect it. I am Turkish, and I wrote this with the deep emotion and sentiment of my native language. I understand that translating these feelings into English with the same impact is difficult, but I have done my best to convey the vision. I will include the original Turkish version at the end of this post. If there are any developers who speak or understand Turkish, I urge you to read that section, as it will allow you to grasp my intent more clearly and deeply." The Proposal: I believe that "Need for Speed Underground 2" and "Need for Speed Most Wanted" (which I can't even find on the EA website anymore) are the true roots of this franchise, remaining the most beloved and personal titles for fans. I envision a remastered masterpiece that blends the driving physics, camera angles, and pure pleasure of "Need for Speed Underground 2" with the compelling story and unique "boss battle" style races of "Need for Speed Most Wanted". The game should feature cars that possess character and soul; where winning an opponent's car feels meaningful and tied to the story, rather than just unlocking a generic vehicle. Boss battles should be driven by 16–20 flawless race recordings from 8–10 elite players who live and breathe the franchise, ensuring a challenge that surpasses standard AI. More importantly, the boss vehicles must be designed by true automotive enthusiasts who were raised in the car's country of origin; only someone who has grown up in that specific car culture can imbue the vehicles with the authentic soul and identity needed for such a prestigious project. Ideally, this should be a night-racing game that perfectly harmonizes side missions with the main story. Such a game would allow us "old school" players to express our originality while offering a timeless experience for the new generation, effectively reviving the Need for Speed legacy. Furthermore, I strongly suggest that offline races and "Star Races" be infused with such high difficulty and realism that reaching the highest level requires immense effort and pure skill. Access to top-tier vehicles and advanced upgrades—both in offline and online modes—must be incredibly difficult to achieve; this will ensure that only the most dedicated players can reach the top, creating a true sense of prestige and fierce competition. If high-end content is earned through true struggle, it will deeply immerse players and ensure the Need for Speed culture continues for years to come.
