Issue with need for speed payback progress
I am experiencing an issue with Need for Speed Payback on PS4. I have lost all my cars from the game, while my money and PlayStation trophies appear to have been preserved. I do not have a PlayStation Plus subscription, and I cannot find any previous saved data to restore my progress. I would like to know whether there is any way to recover my old save or progress, and whether you can guide me through the next steps. Thank you very much
Official Request — Remaster/Remake of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) for PS5
Dear Electronic Arts Team, I am writing as a long-time fan of the Need for Speed franchise to respectfully request your consideration for a remaster or remake of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) for the current generation of consoles, especially the PlayStation 5. This 2005 title is widely regarded by the community as the peak of the franchise. Features such as the Blacklist progression, intense police pursuits, the unforgettable urban atmosphere, and of course the legendary BMW M3 GTR, created an experience that players still talk about nearly two decades later. A modern release for PS5 with: 4K visuals and ray tracing Stable 60 FPS performance Near-instant loading times using the SSD DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers Revamped online multiplayer would not only honor a true classic but also represent a strong commercial opportunity by bringing together longtime fans and a new generation of players who never had the chance to experience this masterpiece. The demand is real and persistent. Forums, social media, and fan petitions have consistently shown how much the community wants this specific title to return. Bringing Most Wanted (2005) back would perfectly blend nostalgia with modern technology. Thank you for your time and for continuing to support one of the most iconic racing franchises in gaming history. Sincerely, Need for Speed fans around the world [Moved from PT to EN.

List: Maxed Car Comparison (Ultimate+ & Engine Swaps)
Hey all, Figured it would be a nice change of pace to have a constructive thread about the game for once. I unlocked all the parts in the game and thought it would be a good idea to put together a list comparing all the different cars, incorporating all their costs and performance measures. Hopefully this picks up some interest and maybe even save some of you time on cars you wouldn't want. In my comparison: 1) Each car is taken to the Speedway circuit race event (4 laps around Speedway) and raced for 4 "perfect" times (4 races per car). By "perfect" times, I refer to full races of no collisions, no bumping of walls, and maintaining cornering speed above >180mph (some cars excepted from this), to measure the cleanest possible race time. Each car was limited to 3 uses of the 15lb nitrous tank per race (not using Nitrous Duration auxiliary perk) 2) Each car is fitted with what I deemed to be the best engine, all Ultimate+ engine components, Dual/Twin Turbo, Track Suspensions, Racing Tires, and Track Differentials. Each car had a 15lb nitrous tank. The only variation in components came from gearboxes, where some cars achieve a higher performance on a 6 or 7 speed transmission versus an 8 speed. 3) The Speedway is a fair comparison because it incorporates long stretches of straight road, as well as long curvatures for the U-turns, which fairly assesses maneuverability/handling. Below is a summary of results thus far. The list is organized by "Average Race Time", which is the average of each cars' four (4) race times. Right-click the image and "Open Image in New Tab" to see the full-size screenshot. The results show the most cost-effective cars, on a relative performance level. Below is each car's cost breakdown: Special Mentions: -Lotus Exige S: the handling on this car really surprised me; it is able to go around the turns very easily, without ever letting go of the gas, and is able to maintain >210mph on the turns. It is incredibly quick and nimble. -Ford F-150 Raptor: the truck really lacked in turning capability; it had to be slowed down to as low as 145mph to make the turns. Very slow acceleration and definitely not worth the $1m worth of investment. -Volkswagen Beetle: the car is hilariously quick, but has absolutely no turning capability and starts to slide really hard beyond 220mph on turns. Took me ages to run 4 good races. I was also thinking of incorporating my own personal rating of each car's handling, depending on how much interest this thread gets. Given that many cars significantly lack in handling and maneuverability at high speeds, I think this is a very important consideration. Let me know what you guys think!
Need for Speed ProStreet original serial no longer activates
Hello. I own an original physical copy of Need for Speed ProStreet for PC, including the original disc and product serial/key. I am trying to install and activate the game again, but the original serial is no longer being accepted. I also tried to contact EA Support, but Need for Speed ProStreet does not appear in the current game selection, so I cannot open a normal support case for it. I can provide proof of ownership, including photos of the original disc, box/manual and product key if required. Could an EA representative please advise whether my original serial can be restored, reactivated, or linked to my EA Account? Thank you.
Cloud save deleted
I completed NFS heat a few years ago. I made sure my local saves get synced with the ea cloud. Now, when I get back to play the game, my progress is deleted, like a clean new account. I checked the linked account, and it's the correct one. I have the same pc. I did not delete anything, so how is something like this even possible? Is ea incapable of maintaining its servers? A multi-billion-dollar company and still incapable of such crucial things. One more thing: when I launched, the game had a totally different launcher splash screen, and one time it asked me to enter my freakin disc key. What the hell!!!??? I bought it on steam, and ea knows that so how the hell is this even possible? I am never buying ea game again in my life. Ever. Customer support is **bleep**.Need for Speed Doesn't Need Another Game. It Needs a Reason to Matter Again.
I’ve been thinking about Need for Speed for a long time. Not from the perspective of what the franchise is already known for — police chases, street racing, car customization, and the atmosphere that has stayed with its fans for years. I’m talking about something deeper: What keeps the Need for Speed community attached to the franchise, even when a game doesn’t meet all of their expectations? If a new Need for Speed game launched tomorrow, there would obviously be people interested. But the real question is: How many would stay, how long would they keep playing, and what would make them buy it in the first place? That made me think about the identity of Need for Speed, and what made it stay in the memory of its audience for so long. So I started asking myself: What has changed in racing games over the years? We have better graphics, bigger maps, more cars, and more progression systems than ever. But maybe the problem isn’t the amount of content. Maybe it’s the feeling you get when you’re behind the wheel. Because street racing isn’t just about being the first to cross the finish line. The adrenaline comes from knowing that you’re under threat, while at the same time, you are the threat. And the danger isn’t just the police. It can be much bigger. When you enter a race, you could be risking everything — literally. At the same time, you are the one capable of taking everything. That’s where the real gamble begins: with your mindset first. Are you willing to take the risk? Do you trust yourself enough to win when losing actually means something? Suddenly, every second matters. One wrong decision could cost you more than the race. It could cost you something you spent hours building. And this is what I think racing games have gradually lost: The feeling that a race has consequences. It doesn’t need to become harder just for the sake of being harder, and Need for Speed doesn’t need to become a Soulslike. It needs a reason to make you hesitate before pressing Accept Race. What if winning was something you desperately wanted, but losing was something you genuinely feared — where the car you spent hours building, the money you earned, and the reputation you built were all part of what you were putting at risk? Then a race wouldn’t simply be another way to earn a reward. It would be a decision. As for Online, I think it raises a completely different question. What if Online wasn’t simply about increasing your Rank or collecting Rewards, but about competing for status and influence — where there is always someone behind you who wants your position, and someone ahead of you that you want to reach? You are always being hunted by those behind you, while hunting those ahead of you. Reaching the top would no longer be about reaching the highest number. I have a complete Need for Speed concept built around this philosophy. A new story, new characters, a different progression system, races with real consequences, and an Online experience that means more than competing for numbers. I won’t reveal the entire concept here. Because some ideas are meant to be experienced inside a game, not explained in a post. But if I had to summarize it in one question: What if Need for Speed stopped asking players simply to win races, and started asking them: What are you willing to lose to become the best? Need for Speed doesn't need another game. It needs a reason to matter again.DLC cars not showing in Need for Speed Rivals
Subject: Need for Speed Rivals Complete Edition DLC cars missing Hello EA Support, I am playing Need for Speed Rivals Complete Edition on PC through Steam and EA App. My Complete Edition DLC is installed and recognized by both Steam and the EA App, but the DLC cars are not appearing in the game. In particular, the Koenigsegg One:1 is missing from my garage even though: Steam shows the Koenigsegg One:1 DLC as installed. EA App → Need for Speed Rivals → Manage add-ons shows Need for Speed Rivals Koenigsegg One:1 — In-game content. I have reached Racer Rank 21. I have completed the Racer career. I have also completed the Cop career and reached Rank 21. Other Complete Edition DLC content also does not appear correctly in the game. I have already restarted the game/EA App/Steam and checked that I am using the correct EA Account. Could you please check whether my DLC entitlements are correctly attached to my EA Account and whether there is a problem with the DLC being recognized by Need for Speed Rivals? I have attached screenshots showing my Steam DLC ownership and EA App → Manage add-ons. Thank you.Problems to downloaf Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

As a passionate fan of the Need for Speed franchise, I feel compelled to express my desire for a revival of Need for Speed Most Wanted, originally released in 2005. This iconic title not only holds the distinction of being the best-selling game in the series but also resonates deeply with many players who grew up enjoying its thrilling gameplay. Alongside other beloved entries like Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2, and Carbon, Most Wanted remains my personal favorite due to its captivating storyline, diverse selection of cars, engaging cutscenes, and exhilarating police pursuits. Even today, I find myself revisiting this classic on my PS2, a testament to its enduring appeal. It is my hope that a remaster or remake of Most Wanted could be developed, allowing a new generation of players to experience the magic of this game while rekindling the nostalgia for those of us who cherished it in our youth. Such a project would not only honor the legacy of the original but also breathe new life into a cherished part of gaming history.
20 cameras on car (max)
Idea for future or present NFS. I'm not big fan of NFS, but recently I bought nfs 2015- good interesting rain vibe. Idea about cars: make system of cameras : 1. To save standard cameras (bumper, close , far view - if you want to save..) 2. Advanced view- to make system, you just click /tick the cameras with mouse- max like 20 cameras like needles - dots- put everywhere you want . From higher view of on hood, rear low key view of side vehicle e.t.c etc scenarios, whatever dots on car. Dynamic with speed or just static . Idea, when you change cameras , different view of speed. I have on my Youtube on NFS Run records, now roaming , not playing at NFS 2015 , Live streams with d nb music. With DOF. NFS 2015 just real like , but empty - no activities in city. But with DOF looks wow . https://www.youtube.com/live/Y0P9XQPFQ0I?si=gi3_l62aaf_4SzI1 https://www.youtube.com/live/IMtVj0S_nAM?feature=shared https://www.youtube.com/live/drkyOj7nF-A?feature=shared https://www.youtube.com/live/JWkNxd4o6FU?si=TuBGgYFNw6Xy2uwH Watch section live, there is some nfs 2015. Screenshots wow at DOF , Look at Steam section screenshots > recent . There s my screenshots with DOF. I just now from mobile. So Idea is to make tool that player can tick cameras everywhere on car he want , max 20 cameras , with he want less no problem. I think 20 cameras it's more then a lot. It s be Advanced camera view - c c c c c - and player changing between cameras where he put them. So now there is addons where you can put cameras and freeze them at points, and it max 4 . So just imagining , that's not camera mod . 1 camera from top on hood- bumper , 1 camera on high roof static straight like cop camera , 1 camera look to diagonally 1l4 front right side car , - and all these setups- just from players setups. So , save classic , hood , close , far view . And Advanced - so that s idea. I have on my Youtube video of NFS Run - so there s addon of camera ... So , that idea of visualising came just roaming NFS 2015- " the game is cool , but something off. Graphics/vibe great. 2. "Hmm , city is empty- where s real traffic , hmmm, something wrong"- so that my thoughts. So maybe now enter pc , and add screenshots here. But with DOF - wow. But , vibe of city is empty - should be center of city , where you can roam around residentials or near )) there s suburbs , but no city- residentials and packings - wron wrom , make some noise on parkings , burnout- so that s missing in NFS 2015- THAT s Online, game have a Big potential of Upgrading... So, my idea is 20 max cameras player can put on car , where he want ....Different angles different playing. Standart cameras- boring. I ll put screenshots further maybe...
Please bring back the classic NFS style – Most Wanted 2005, Hot Pursuit & Rivals
Dear EA Team I’m a long-time Need for Speed fan and I really hope you can consider this feedback. Please make the next Need for Speed game feel like the classics we all loved. I want a game with the same spirit as Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) – the blacklist, the police pursuits, the open world, and that pure racing freedom. At the same time, I also love the style of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Need for Speed Rivals. The intense cop vs racer gameplay, the beautiful maps, and the exciting pursuits in those games are still some of the best in the series. If a full new game in that classic style isn’t possible right now, at least please consider remastering Need for Speed Rivals. A lot of fans (including me) miss it a lot and would love to play it again with modern graphics and improvements. Hot Pursuit Remastered was a great step, but we need more games like that — or even better, a return to the golden era of Most Wanted 2005 and Rivals. Thank you for reading. I hope the next Need for Speed can bring back that classic feeling we all miss. Best regardsBring Back Need for Speed Carbon — Official Remake/Remaster
To Electronic Arts and the Need for Speed team: Need for Speed Carbon was released in 2006 and became one of the most memorable entries in the Need for Speed franchise. Almost twenty years later, many players around the world still remember Palmont City, the Canyon Duels, the crews, the territory battles, the customization system, the soundtrack, the characters and the atmosphere that made Carbon unique. We are asking Electronic Arts to consider bringing Need for Speed Carbon back through an official remake or remaster for modern platforms. We don't want Carbon to lose its identity. We want the heart of the original game to remain intact while taking advantage of modern technology. What we would love to see: 🏙️ Palmont City rebuilt for modern hardware 🏔️ Canyon races and Canyon Duels recreated with modern graphics and physics 🚘 The iconic vehicles from the original game 🎨 The Autosculpt customization system preserved and expanded 👥 The crew system and territory battles 🏁 The original career structure and progression 👑 The original characters, rival crews and bosses 🎬 The story and cinematic presentation that made Carbon memorable 🎵 The atmosphere and musical identity of the original game, subject to licensing 🎮 Modern controller support 🖥️ 4K resolution and modern PC support 🌐 Modern multiplayer features And most importantly: Keep Carbon feeling like Carbon. We understand that creating a modern game involves many technical, creative and licensing challenges. This petition is not intended to dictate how Electronic Arts should develop the game. It is simply a message from the community: There are still players who want to return to Palmont City. We would gladly support an official modern release of Need for Speed Carbon. If Electronic Arts ever considers bringing one of its classic Need for Speed titles back, we hope the voice of the Carbon community will be heard. Bring back Palmont City. Bring back the Canyon. Bring back the crews. Bring back Need for Speed Carbon. #BringBackNFSCarbon #NFSCarbonRemake #NFSCarbon
Need For Seed Payback and Heat from Steam - You Don't have access error
I've just bought NFS Payback and Heat with linked Steam account - after launch from steam the EA launcher says "You don't have access. This title may have been downloaded to your device by another user who owns the game. Log in to a different account or restart the app to try again." Restarting the apps and cleaning caches didn't help. I don't see the games in my EA library
