NFS Most Wanted 2012 - Autolog and Multiplayer servers are down
Hello EA team, Since Saturday (October 24th), PC players have been unable to connect to autolog Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012 (Error 80070000). We installed the EA app a long time ago and we have a good internet connection. The game is not on the server shutdown list. Could you please provide an update on when we can expect the multiplayer and Autolog services to be fully restored? Please resolve this problem. Best regards, SAS_Alstom-ER, On behalf of the NFS MW 2012 community.
NFS No Limits Crew Update
Hi. Thank you for this game. Thank you for the unique opportunity to test CREW update. Today, I send more than 20 requests to play in a team. But no one accept me. It is some problem with requests in this new update? Or leaders see from what country I am and he don't want to me to join? I want to join in a crew and nothing. When I created a crew team no one enter and you cannot make anything in single person. I have level 213 and VIP 9. I don't think anyone wants an active player in his crew. What should I do?
NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered - fails to launch
I've got a fully-patched Win 11 system and NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered fails to launch intermittently. When it does, I get the error: "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." NFS: HOT PURSUIT REMASTERED - CRASH REPORT (Steam AppID 1328660)Executable: NFS11Remastered.exe (protected build NFS11Remastered_prot.exe) - Steam + EA App CRASH SIGNATURE (Windows Event ID 1000): Most recent: today 12:06:11 Faulting app: NFS11Remastered.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x613f368c Faulting module: NFS11Remastered.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x613f368c Exception code: 0xc0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) Fault offset: 0x00000000000d4d85 Path: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered\NFS11Remastered.exe BEHAVIOR: Crash to desktop during startup (before main menu), ~1-2s after launch.

Let's be honest, EA. What the hell are you doing with Need for Speed? I understand that you want to compete with Call of Duty and make Battlefield a major success. That's fine. But why does Need for Speed have to suffer because of that? Need for Speed has been around for over three decades. Millions of players grew up with this franchise. Games like Underground, Most Wanted, Carbon, Hot Pursuit, Rivals, Heat, and Unbound created memories that players still cherish today. And now what? Criterion is being redirected toward Battlefield, while the future of Need for Speed remains uncertain. That's a **bleep** shame. We are not asking EA to abandon Battlefield. We are asking you to stop treating Need for Speed like it doesn't matter anymore. If Criterion cannot return to NFS development, then assign another capable studio to continue the franchise. Don't leave it sitting on a shelf while its community waits for years. We want: A new Need for Speed game with a clear development commitment. The return of intense police pursuits and the freedom that made older NFS games special. A studio that genuinely understands racing games. Better communication with the community about the franchise's future. Need for Speed isn't just another game title. It's a franchise with decades of history and a loyal community. EA, stop neglecting Need for Speed. We haven't forgotten it, and we don't want you to forget it either. Give this franchise the respect it deserves.
Need for speed main menu not responding
When I start Need For Speed No limits, anywhere I click on in the main menu does not respond. However, all the top button options do, so I am able to get into races, but only through the daily challenges and the cars I own. When I first installed the game, everything worked fine. I have re-installed many times to no change. I have disabled “offload unused apps” to no change. I have even reset the iPad then re-installed to no change. I am using a high speed Internet connection through a strong WiFi connection. Switching to mobile data does nothing. I am wondering if the cause is because the Cloud the game saves to is full. Could this the cause, and if so, how can I get more space? Thank you. ChristopherNFSMW 2012 no longer playable

Please advise what I should do. ?

Hey I just wanted to send a message to EA in a respectful manner without rudeness and profanity and above. Look I know that the company has priorities with Battlefield right now and I’m not upset or complaining about it but we are desperate for an another Need For Speed title but mostly the remake of Most Wanted that all of us really want right now and to take Razor down again ever since we recovered the BMW M3 GTR from the lockup in NFS Unbound, I did put out ideas in the EA Forums under the Need For Speed General Discussion thread webpage before I updated my personal information and stuff including the cars, customization and music etc and if you want me to write down the ideas so the Need For Speed team and Codemasters to accept let me know in the responses and I will type the titles of the forums threads I put out or send me a message either way. Please for the sake of God and Jesus that please have EA to literally stop being greedy and reckless and of course for EA to just pay Toyota the licensing fees and stuff so we can have back the Toyota Supra, Trueno, GT86, the short lived Scion vehicles and the Lexus vehicles including the IS300, LFA and the RCF coupe from Men in Black International from 2019 so everyone that drives Toyotas to literally calm down. Also please listen to the community including the YouTuber BlackPanthaa and the other people that I forgot their names. EA when you do remake Most Wanted please do not make it like a shantytown from 2012 that is was dead beat garbage and the God awful car roster and the dumpster fire of the music and the pointless stuff without a story that it’s just garbage 🗑️, please have the story to be the exact same as the 2005 original but expanded and to mention the M3 GTR recovered by Razor in Lakeshore City and of course that Cross is absolutely the cop that runs a Chevrolet Corvette police squadron that does never to be messed around with like the saying poke around and find out even though I really don’t want to type the f bomb, the blacklist rival roster to be the same but more blacklist drivers to take down and to add the removed blacklist members that were possibly cut in development which is Jordan Kay, Akira Washio, Eddie Lew and some racer that has that blacklist name of Pitboss. As for the cars, add more vehicles but please stop adding different variants of the same vehicle and please stop adding convertibles because it’s stupid and pointless therefore unhinged and add a ton of SUVs and Trucks for off road racing in Rockport City, also add the cars from the 2005 iconic original including my childhood heroes and icons the 2005 Pontiac GTO, 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS and the 2004 I believe the Cadillac CTS. Add more customization options and as for the vinyl wrap editor please have the options to be organized and add more shapes and whatever and add the aftermarket parts brands to be organized in ABC order and add Mobil 1, NOS, Venom, Kenwood, Pioneer etc and as for the thing or two I forgot it’s called please unblock the word Autism because for the custom vinyl sticker shindig that it wouldn’t allow me to use the word Autism because I was making the Autism Awareness sticker and it said it contains profanity which is stupid and there’s nothing profane about the word Autism. As for the online multiplayer please have the thing called the Blacklist tournament to be exactly the same like the blacklist which includes the persons name and alias for example: Ben Oliver/Blacklist Name Zephyr. Like we can come up with our own Blacklist persona as long it’s not inappropriate or offensive even to have the feature in the career mode too because I would love that. As for the police, not to be as hard like with the original even though when you try to beat everyone on the blacklists pursuit rankings included total time and roadblocks dodged etc. Please get rid of the rolling roadblock idea because it’s stupid and infuriating but replace it with S.W.A.T units. The music please keep it as the same like the 2005 original but add more songs too. EA please just have a heart to change and please just listen, that’s all I ask for. Thank You. One more thing as I forgot to mention as part of the cars please add more Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles so I can take Razor down either with a Pontiac or a Oldsmobile either way even though I did take Razor down with the Pontiac GTO and took down Bull with the Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Ronnie of course with the Cadillac CTS.
Still no word from EA about PC Autolog issues - NFSMW 2012
Hi EA team, PC players are still getting disconnected from Autolog when they open multiplayer in Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012). It’s been several days without an update. Could you let us know if this issue is being investigated? We’re eager to get back on the road. Thanks. Beruthien AwesomePewPew EA_AgentX Melcious MickeMarklyft EA_Brickto1 EA_eircon
Need For Speed Payback - A Daily a Day Bug Achievement on Xbox
Hello EA teams. A racing game called Need For Speed Payback got one of discontinued achievement called A Daily a Day due to the code being outdated (probably) and not showing any daily challenges on Xbox version. I got the achievement before the code broke in June 4, 2026 and weirdly enough the EA App version works as functional that I got it in October 30, 2026. A website called TrueAchievements has marked it as "Discontinued" to let the others know unless y'all fixed it to make obtainable again. This is the link I'm talking about. https://www.trueachievements.com/a243405/a-daily-a-day-achievement I wonder if y'all can make it work again. Thanks in advance.
An open letter to the NFS Team
Hello, Need for Speed team. I’m writing to ask if you could host an event in *NFS Payback* where players could get the BMW M3 GTR for free—specifically on the 12th of this month. It’s my birthday, and I’ve been a huge *NFS* fan ever since I had a PS2! It would mean so much to me if you could hold an event in *NFS Payback* that offers the BMW M3 GTR at no cost. If you happen to read this, thank you so much! I’ll always be a die-hard *NFS* fan, truly—from the bottom of my heart. [Moved from PT to EN.

NFS Motor City Online
Need for Speed Motor City Online should be remastered too!! For those who didn't get to play it last century, you got to build your own drivetrain and suspension choosing which engine block, camshaft, headers, pistons, transmission, axles, springs, sway bars, and a whole lot more.
Motor City Online
Looks like it's about time to discuss this old game one more time and BEG EA to bring it back. Heck, I'd pay $20-30 a month if they simply brought it back exactly as it was way back when. No re-coding required. Miss this game so much.... - Blackin DeMaster Leader of "Blackins Log Racing Team"
Login issues for NFS Most Wanted Vita Version
Hi there, since i am using Playstation Vita i recently bought NFS Most wanted game and tried to play multiplayer which i am not as i keep getting an error saying "CONNECTION FAILED" no matter. Been trying since 4 days but no luck. Tried every method from internet by delinking my account from EA website and linking back again then uninstalling the game and reinstalling. Even tried starting a new EA game in PS5 and Logging in which worked fine. Other games are able to connect to net except NFS Most Wanted in my Playstation Vita. Please do me a favour by helping from this bug. Hoping to get a response as soon as possible.Rage bait
Okay, so, I used to play NFS Heat a lot back when it first came out. Convinced some friends to give it a go recently. **bleep** the cops in this game are completely unrealistic and so incredibly broken. Literally used a long jump, watched 2 of the 5 that were chasing me slam into buildings. Hit my no2 to get away, watched the being chased by number decrease to 3 and roll right back to 5 and had absolutely 0 chance of getting away. Finally got it to where it said escaping and went to my garage and as I hit R1 to enter the garage, 4 cops spawn right in front of me (2 armored cars and 2 corvettes). Literally just dropped my controller and said go eff yourself EA..
