The Legacy Of The Need For Speed (Suggestion)
Iam Very old player for NFS Series , and I Want Share my Experience Here I Starting Playing Need For Speed From 1997 Lets Start My Review : Need for Speed II ( Played ) ( The Red Ferrari car was looked like Rectangular gift box But in The nineties it was Revolutionary ) Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit ( Played ) ( I Was Young I don't Remember Many Details ) Need for Speed: High Stakes( Played )( I Was Young I don't Remember Many Details ) Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed( Played )( I Was Young I don't Remember Many Details ) Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2( Played ) ( Police Entry ) Need for Speed: Underground( Played ) Need for Speed: Underground 2( Played ) ( The beginning of Advanced Car Modification ) Need for Speed: Most Wanted ( Played ) ( Iconic Version With BMW M3 GTR Also"Speedbreaker Entering" To control the car During Police chases ) Need for Speed: Carbon ( Played ) ( Its Fine, but the Audi Le Mans quattro , Not Like BMW M3 GTR , I Mean the car, not the Company I Feels BMW M3 GTR Has Very Special Personality , I know its a car but that what i feel ) Need for Speed: ProStreet( Played ) ( Animation Car Stickers Vinyl with logo & Advanced Car Modification back ) ( I do not know its name in English, but those drawings gave a stamp to the entry of a new generation Coming ) Need for Speed: Undercover( Played ) ( Keeping up with the development of Graphics and Details ) Need for Speed: Shif( Played ) ( Nothing special ) Need for Speed: Nitro( Not Played ) Need for Speed: World( Not Played ) Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit( Not Played ) Shift 2: Unleashed( Not Played ) Need for Speed: The Run( Played ) ( Nothing Special ) Need for Speed: Most Wanted Remake ( Not Played ) Need for Speed Rivals ( Played ) ( The Worst Ver in NFS Series ) Need for Speed: No Limits ( Not Played ) Need for Speed Payback( Not Played ) Need for Speed Heat ( Played ) ( balanced version between Modify cars, Police Chasers and Story "Best Version After NFS Most Wanted" ) Need for Speed Unbound ( Played ) ( Same Heat Ver , But The Action has been doubled "Fantastic" becouse Visual effects Animation effect during"Driving, Crashing, Drifting, and Everything" ) But The Disaster was in the Cars Classes "A , B , S , S+ .. etc" , that Caused the Version to Fail for Me And this Why I Wrote This Topic : We Love NFS Because it Gives US Unrealistic Driving Experience ( Excitement , Surprise and Action ) and we Cant Fine this in Real Life Driving Experience ( Only in Rally Racing and this is not for Everyone ) So I think here is a Crossroads , We need to Add 2 Type or Classes or Ver of NFS The First Ver Give Us to Real Life Driving Experience ( Of Course it will be Boring ) And the Sec Ver type or Classes or ver give Us Unrealistic Driving Experience with Excitement and Action So .. First Ver ( New ) : The Realistic Version Follows the Same Classes in NFS Unbound with out Actions and Animation effects , Realistic Driving Experience plus Real life Ruls or what Ever Sec Ver : ( Like Legacy of NFS ) Version with Unrealistic Driving Experience with Triple Action Plus Excitement Thats All Thanks Best wishes RamiNeed For Speed Heat

NFS 2015 PC - Nazi wraps closed as "opinion" - Case 250511262
Hi everyone, and hopefully some Community Manager can read this. I am writing here because the automated support loop is completely failing to handle a severe violation of EA’s Positive Play Charter. A couple of days ago, I reported two custom liveries shared in the community wrap section of Need for Speed Most Wanted 2015 on PC that feature explicit Nazi iconography (large swastikas, SS runes, 'White Power' and 'Heil **bleep**' slogans, and blatant antisemitic slurs). I provided clear screenshots of the vehicles and the creators' nicknames. Today, I received an automated email stating that EA decided not to take action because "a single comment in a conversation more broad (or an opinion sharply different from yours) might not represent a violation". Treating literal Nazi propaganda and antisemitism as a mere "different opinion" is a massive logical and ethical failure of your automated moderation system. The system closed my report (Case ID: 250511262) without an actual human ever looking at the evidence. I am not posting the screenshots here publicly to avoid violating forum rules regarding offensive content. However, I have them ready. Could a Community Manager please contact me via Private Message so I can send the uncensored evidence directly to a human being? These accounts need a manual review and an immediate ban. Thank you. [Thread moved from NFS Franchise IT to NFS Franchise EN, please review the guidelines to find the right language board for your post. EA_Claus]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."

[Bug] Need for Speed: Heat - Extremely Loud Dialog Volume
tl;dr: the volume level for player and NPC dialog lines are extremely loud and distorted. It seems to happen randomly, about every 4 out of 5 game starts. What causes this? How do I stop this from happening? Linked below is a video recording someone uploaded back in March 2022. A caption in the video says that the uploader lowered the volume of the recording, but it's still an accurate depiction of how loud and distorted the dialog becomes. Right after loading into the garage, Lucas makes a comment to the player character, and the bugged volume is immediately noticeable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au2QFFC5Hd8 Someone in the comments section of that video also uploaded footage of the same bug after the player exits the garage, but the uploader didn't lower the volume. I've added it below, as this is how it sounds in my game (loud volume warning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk6mov1DJuM In my game, in the garage, the bugged audio sounds like there's been heavy reverb applied to all the dialog lines. It eventually becomes quieter, but it seems to last indefinitely. Leaving the garage through the menus, or even going to character selection gets rid of the reverb/echo, but not the loud voice audio. I've played NFS Heat, with and without mods, in a number of configurations (low, medium, and high settings), online and solo play, for at least 250 hours since 2022. I've only experienced this issue once before, about 2-3 months ago, but thought it was just a one-off glitch at the time. It didn't happen again until a few days ago, and it's now become a frequent problem. I don't know what triggers it, nor how to bypass it, other than muting "Sound Effects" in the game settings. Lowering the "Dialog Volume" to 0 doesn't do anything. I have to lower the master "Sound Effects" slider. That's far from an ideal solution, because it mutes most other sounds as well, leaving only the soundtrack audible. I've tried: Verifying game files through Steam Uninstalling, clearing out any residual files, then reinstalling the game (i.e. clean install) Clearing the EA app cache Deleting my old save from My Documents Disabling audio inputs (I didn't have any recording devices plugged in to begin with, but did so to rule it out) Disabling any audio enhancements (I didn't have any enabled in the first place, but double checked) Disabling "Exclusive Mode" in Settings > Sound > Speakers Properties (Playback tab) > (Advanced tab) (sound enhancements and spatial sound have always been disabled) I monitor my GPU/CPU usage and system temps. The game runs at the same levels as usual. I haven't made any changes to my system since before the bug (Windows 10). I did move my old save elsewhere to start over, and it was fine for several launches. I've also been playing the game without mods since before the bug started happening consistently. There have been others who have posted about this issue on various social media platforms and YouTube. But no one seems to have a solution to this problem, let alone an explanation for why this happens in the first place. Any insight on this issue would hopefully help future players experiencing this problem as well.NFS Concept: The Return of Mia and Undercover Gameplay
Hello NFS Community and Developers! I want to share an idea for a future Need for Speed game or a true remake/sequel to the original Most Wanted. What if the main protagonist of the next game is Mia Townsend? In the finale of Most Wanted (2005), we found out that she was an undercover cop. It would be amazing to build the entire gameplay and story around her double life. It would also be awesome if EA could bring back Josie Maran to voice and portray Mia again! Key Gameplay Concepts: Two Sides of the Law: During the day, you play as a police officer, coordinating busts, using high-tech pursuits gear (like spikes and EMPs from Hot Pursuit), and driving official interceptors. At night, you put on your street racer gear, tune your personal car, and infiltrate a new Blacklist. Deep Story: Instead of a generic nameless racer, we get a beloved character with a personal motivation. We can see how the events of the original Most Wanted affected her and what happened to the Blacklist cars. The Perfect Balance: This concept perfectly combines the gritty illegal street racing atmosphere of Most Wanted/Undercover with the thrilling cop gameplay of Hot Pursuit. The Return of the Legendary BMW M3 GTR: We can't have a true Most Wanted spirit without the iconic silver-and-blue BMW M3 GTR E46. In this concept, the car could play a major role in the story. Since it became the most wanted car in the country after the events of 2005, Mia’s main undercover task force mission could be to track down its current location and confiscate it from the new street racing syndicate. Impounding the legendary BMW mid-game and finally getting behind its wheel for the ultimate night races would be the ultimate reward for the fans! About the Soundtrack: It would be amazing to feature a soundtrack with songs from the same era (the mid-2000s) instead of modern generic music. Bringing back that classic 2005 vibe with heavy rock, metal, and electronic breakbeat tracks would make the pursuits feel incredibly intense and nostalgic! I think fans would absolutely love to see Mia return and experience the NFS world from this unique undercover perspective. What do you think?
No EA games are launching

NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered Racer Freedrive don't work on Fox Lair Pass
I play NFS HPR in PC and like to take the cars to freedrive to see different locations and weather, but it won't work when I try to freedrive on Fox Lair Pass with race cars. The loading screen apears and the message to press space to continue too, but nothing happens when I press it, it only happens in this location in racer mode. I've already rebooted my PC and reinstalled the game.Come back
Subject: Need for Speed Underground Mobile Port Proposal Hello EA Team, I would like to suggest an official mobile port/remaster of Need for Speed: Underground for iOS and Android. I genuinely believe this project could become extremely successful for several reasons: Massive nostalgia factor among players who grew up in the 2000s Strong demand for arcade street racing games on mobile Lack of high-quality underground tuner racing games in the current mobile market The Need for Speed brand already has huge recognition worldwide Why it could succeed commercially: Players would likely pay for a premium version without aggressive ads Cosmetic customization and online multiplayer could generate long-term revenue TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and nostalgia content could organically market the game Mobile hardware is now powerful enough to handle a faithful port Key features players would love: Original soundtrack atmosphere Classic career mode Car tuning and visual customization Online races and ranked multiplayer Controller support Cross-platform EA account integration Many players still consider Underground one of the best Need for Speed games ever made. An official mobile version could attract both old fans and a new generation of players. Thank you for your time.
Bug taking gold in special event.
I started the Acura Integra Type S special event. I used the ' reduce time when I had 1 race ticket left at 14 minutes 59 and right after that to reduce some more, after the commercial i saw i had 11 out of 9 race tickets and lost 180 gold! DO NOT use time reduction in the special event cause it will take 90 gold each time like you "bought " race tickets while you did not.Proposal for the Future of NFS: A Direct Sequel to the 2005 Legend
Dear Need for Speed Development Team, As a long time fan of this franchise, I am writing to share a vision shared by a massive segment of the global gaming community. Despite the passage of nearly two decades, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 remains the undisputed peak of the series. To this day, it is rare to find a PC gamer who does not still have this masterpiece installed. The unique atmosphere, the high stakes Blacklist progression, and the intense police pursuits created a formula that has not been matched since. In light of the mixed reception of recent titles, I believe the most innovative out of the box move would be to return to the past. Developing a direct sequel to the 2005 original preserving its core identity while utilizing modern engine capabilities would be a guaranteed revolution that restores the franchise to its former glory. I would highly appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on this proposal. I am eager to hear whether this direction aligns with your future vision, and I look forward to your feedback on this idea. Best regards, Mohamad SalimI can’t access the middle section of the interface in NFS No limits
This issue first appeared when I accidentally clicked something in the store, the Apple pay popped up and I cancelled it. Ever since I did that I can’t access the middle section of the interface which means I can’t access special events, storage, mods, or anything that is located in between the upper and lower bar, which is freaking annoying. I’m on iOS 26 and I guess they still haven’t figured how to modify the game so that it’s compatible with the latest iOS. I tried to elevate it with the support, but the support is hopeless and helpless.NFS NL AD offer gone

Hello Need for Speed team / EA. I have an idea for the future of the Need for Speed franchise. I would love to see a new NFS game that combines realism, freedom, and the best features from previous games: Graphics quality similar to Forza Horizon 5 Fully dynamic day and night cycle (not separated). A large open world with city, highways, and countryside. A big car roster including Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren. Deep car customization like the Underground era. Improved police chases similar to Need for Speed Heat but with smarter AI. More realistic visuals (no cartoon-style effects). Basically: a mix of Need for Speed Heat atmosphere, No Limits car variety, and Forza Horizon 5-level graphics. I believe this direction could bring the franchise back to its peak popularity and attract many new players. Thank you for reading!Nfs idea
Hey @NeedforSpeed / @CriterionGames 👋👋 I’ve been a BIG fan of nfs and I wanted to share some ideas I think would make the next NFS amazing: 1. Japan map🗺️ 2. Nfs heat back fire🔥 3. Open world 🌆 4. More cars (ex. Subaru legacy 3.0r, volvo s60R, etc)🚗 5. More customization 6. Better sounds🔊 7. Name idea (Need for Speed: Neon)💡 I’m even trying to make my own racing game inspired by NFS 🎮 Would love to hear what you think! 💬Come on, make this need for Speed?
Subject: Feature Request for Next NFS: The "Ultimate Underground" Vision To the Need for Speed Development Team, I am writing to share a vision for the next generation of Need for Speed on PS5 that would bridge the gap between classic tuner culture and modern open-world freedom. To make this the "baddest" game in the franchise's history, it needs to focus on these specific features: 8K Photorealistic Graphics: We want gritty, photorealistic graphics optimized for 8K resolution. The world needs to look real—no cartoon effects—with realistic lighting on neon streets and rain-slicked asphalt. On-Foot Escapes & GTA Freedom: Players should be able to jump out of their cars to evade police on foot, hide in alleys, or walk through realistic car meets. If the car is cornered, the chase isn't over until the player is caught. Ultimate Engine Building: No "either/or" restrictions. We want to build Compound Twin-Charged setups (turbo feeding a supercharger) with nitrous. Let us build the engine the way we want with total freedom. Total Customization: Customization for everything—hoods, wings, the entire interior (dash, seats, wheels), and "cutaway" options to show off engine swaps and custom frames. Online World with AI Cops: A seamless online experience where AI "Computer Cops" are always hunting you, using PIT maneuvers, helicopters, and aggressive tactics. Must-Have "Bad Boy" Car List: The Complete Pontiac GTO Legacy: Every generation from the oldest 1964/1965 originals and the 1969 Judge, all the way up to the newest 2006 models with LS1, LS2, and LS3 engine options. The Complete Toyota Supra Legacy: Every generation from the oldest Celica Supras to the legendary A80 (2JZ-GTE) all the way up to the newest A90 models. The Nissan Skyline/GT-R Legacy: Every generation from the oldest "Hakosuka" to the R32, R33, R34, and the newest R35 GT-R. The Complete Honda Civic Collection: Every generation from the classic 90s hatchbacks (EG/EK) to the Si and the 2026 Type R. Modern Powerhouses: 2011 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 Sport, Chevy Corvette (LS9/ZR1), Chevy Tahoe, Dodge Demon/Hellcat Redeye, 2015/16 BMW M5 (Twin-Turbo V8), and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. Classic "Oldies" & 2026 Future: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 1970 Chevelle SS, 2026 Dodge Charger EV, and 2026 Porsche 911 Hybrid. This is the game the streets are talking about. If you build this, it will be the most successful racing game
