Tournament
in case you guys did not know there was a tournament this past weekend , a tournament created by those who the developers listened the most since they stroke their ego loving the waving and boosting , and just to let you know how popular that system is , there were a whooping 30 people watching it , all 30 of them are contestants , and probably their moms , that is how popular that system and those who abuse it are , so let that be a lesson for the next game , if you are making a car game make sure that driving that car is your main goal , and if you do not want to make a car game just do all of us a favor , and don`t be involved , or at least put your system on display in the trailer , so we do not buy it if it is not about driving , but the best would be if EA would find another developing team , we are sick of Cretinion , they can`t make a good car game to save their own life
My personal subjective opinion might be able to save this IP.
I'm sorry, I really can't get into UNBOUND because the controls feel too strange and I'm not used to it.My personal subjective opinion and suggestion is as follows: I hope the next generation of NFS is developed using the strengths and characteristics of 2015. There must be real-life cutscenes, and if necessary, there could be more meaningful DLC car packs, like MW2012 and the nearby FH5. so for the next generation of NFS, it would be best to develop it with the characteristics and advantages of 2015. Optimization problem, the reason I don't play Unbound is that the game uses too much CPU, which causes my CPU temperature to rise too high, it's too hot. After turning off the turbo boost, the temperature dropped from over 80 degrees at the default turbo frequency of 4.7GHz to 60 degrees at the base frequency of 3.6GHz, but it's still hot. I'm using a B360 Cooler Master water cooling system.In fact, these several Need for Speed games using the Frostbite engine, including 2015, Payback, Heat, and Unbound, consume a lot of CPU resources. However, RIVALS doesn’t use up much CPU resources. Also, I'm not very used to playing Unbound because I've been very accustomed to playing 2015,
A Thought
I just wanted to air this out here. Legendary Custom Kits were this game's ticket to doing the equivalent of what successful F2P games do with skins, like League of Legends or Fortnite. Ideally, keep the gameplay, (all cars), accessible by in game currency and challenges and peddle skins. Right? Maybe do a 'Warframe' and make it so you build your new cars with blueprints and parts. Maybe we find em in lockups and we buy ""blueprints"" from the garage store. Though, it doesn't have to get that chopped up, that is just one way I spend payed-currency in Warframe when I don't want to wait 3 days to play with the Warframe I farmed for, for example. I know. "You want a reality where there is ANOTHER game that successfully siphons money for cosmetics that we don't ACTUALLY own???" (Because when and if the game shuts down it's all gone-gone. [*Cough* NFS World *Cough*])... Not really. No. But I do want a long-term arcade racer and NFS Unbound is the closest the franchise has gotten to bottling lightning in a long time. Maybe the arcade racer crowd is just too small. Maybe I'm missing something. This has just been on my mind. Feels weird to come on here and basically say "Exploit me better. I think you can." But for some reason this felt worth saying outloud. I love arcade racers. They (especially ones that include street racing as a theme) seem especially easy to do the "Skin Store" for. If I was sure this game had a bright future with heart, I wouldn't be mad if it suddenly had a ton of cosmetic micro-transactions. Basically, all I'm saying is I'd buy cosmetic centric Volume Passes and buy from a cosmetic store. Again, gross to say, but I hate that the newest games that get closest to itching my NEED here always miss something or never stick around. Always fleeting.Manual trans not working while in race. Works fine while driving around city
Ps5- Car doesn't pass 120mph and the speedometer glitches out. Recognizes the gear changes but the car doesn't wanna move. Automatic works fine. This happens on controller and wheel/shifter. Im shocked that nobody else has complained about this or has this happening. It works perfect when driving around the city, but when I join the race it doesn't work anymore.

palace edition on epic but I buy the ultimate on steam
Do I still have the palace edition stuff if I open the game on steam? I was wondering cause I bought the palace edition of need for speed unbound long ago on epic so when I saw the ultimate collection on sale on steam I wanted to buy it but I don't know if I'll have the palace edition stuff on it, so does anyone have the answer to that? Cause they both would open in the EA app anyways so I'm really curious about that
DEAR: EAGAMES
Need for Speed Unbound the last time I ever played in any of the games back when Need for Speed heat came out for console I didn't really worry about the cheating situation but now that if y'all ever do come out with another Need for Speed game y'all better, be adding anti cheat to your games and I'm actually going to give you a lot of knowledge, behind how to get rid of cheaters. I have read every form of this past month.... I can tell you I watched a couple of YouTube videos I will name drop those YouTube videos for y'all guys to look at those people explaining why anti cheat is going to be a thing, for your games in the future. I don't have any morals in respect the, EA Games ignore the community when it's important to keep people like this away from cheating now I can definitely explain that Hardware bands are very heavily important Linux I don't want to get into Linux operator system I know how that works but I'm saying this as a player not as a person or a customer as a player I played all your guys racing games except for the ones where it was only about the cops I'm not really about the cop racing and stopping, people and all that stuff I'm about racing and having competition fair, game play when you got people like Snot rat losers online being more hypocritical to cheat, and y'all guys game that's what kills you guys game and that's what destroys the community I can't play anybody on the game knowing that I pay for it knowing the game came out a few years ago for Need for Speed Heat. Played it on Console yes I ran into cheaters to be honest & guess what. I don't play that game, anymore and the reason for it is because of that now you can take this with a grain of salt but personally to any developers looking and reading this I hope y'all make better, choices than the choices that you guys made recent years if not don't make another Need for Speed game and tell your guys know how to construct, code or anti cheat that actually works cause, using other anti cheats you're paying money if you learn the software that these people are using you would know how to stop.

NFS Unbound PS5 Graphics Tabs Not Showing.
Hey everyone. This is my last desperate shot at figuring out what is going on. When playing this game, and The Crew Motorfest, I've noticed that textures such as shadows, trees, grass, bridges and even sometimes cars don't load in until I appear closer. I am playing on a PS5 Pro and I'm pretty sure it's not just my monitor. Off the top of my head I THINK I have had this issue on my TV but am unsure. I switched to the monitor because of eyesight problems. Anyways, I tried to change the graphics quality and I only get three options. Gamma, Motion Blur and Colorblind Mode. I do not get the 17 tabs like I've seen on YouTube to actually adjust the physical graphics of the game. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled, checked for updates, which it is up to date as well as my console. It drives me crazy because of my OCD. Like I'm legit tweaking out over this. Any help is greatly appreciated.Regarding About Racer X In NFS Unbound.
I want to mention that I was not aware along with the other players in the NFS community that Racer X is well indeed Razor, which I knew this was coming and for the fact that I would say he broken out of prison and I would also say that he probably used the recent model Ford Mustang GT Premium as a escape vehicle and I hope that Cross or whatever his name is will throw Razor’s behind back in prison. Also if anyone else in the NFS community team or the EA Answers forum managers that have not seen the car list roster suggestions that I posted to help EA and Criterion for this possible remake of Most Wanted that everyone all over the internet knows and keeps taking about it. Please go to the Latest Topics section below and you will see NFS Most Wanted Remake Car List Suggestions Roster Version 2 that I posted to help the NFS team and EA and Criterion themselves too but I want to say if you can’t get all of the cars that I suggested due to licensing budgets and what not please add those Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles that I suggested including the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30, 2003 Oldsmobile Alero, 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2005 Pontiac GTO, 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP and I forgot the others.
Just a question does EA care about what there NFS fans want or ask for?
I just have a question: does EA really care about what its customers want? The new Lockdown mode is interesting, but it’s clear that EA’s current development team lacks the talent or vision to create a truly groundbreaking NFS game. It feels like Unbound is just a placeholder until a team that genuinely understands and values the NFS fanbase steps in to revive the franchise. That said, what’s the deal with the blacklist cars? Why couldn’t EA simply include the original, iconic vehicles from 2005’s NFS Most Wanted? Instead, we get recycled cars that most players already have access to, like Vic’s Nissan 350Z or the GTRs. Changing Vic’s iconic MK4 Supra to a 350Z or Mia’s RX-8 to a GTR feels lazy and uninspired. This isn’t about nostalgia of the good old days of an actual good NFS title it’s about respecting the franchise’s legacy that we as gamers have been brought up upon. We know and love cars nowadays because 20 and 15 years ago when we were little children we were fascinated by the NEED FOR SPEED. However as I mentioned its about respecting the legacy that we were brought up by and not just spitting on it like how NFS EA game developers do nowadays, hold on let me rephrase that I meant to say not how NFS EA game developers spit in the face of us NFS fans of 20 years +. Now onto Lockdown mode: why is the gameplay designed to punish players for their teammates’ decisions? For example, I was grinding to earn nearly $800K, while my crew member decided to extract with just $75K. Because they left, I was forced into a 2-minute extraction window. When I failed to extract in time, I lost everything my loot, my S+ car, and hours of effort. Why should my gameplay experience be dictated by someone else’s choices? This system feels fundamentally flawed. Players should have the freedom to play at their own pace and take risks if they choose. Tying one player’s decisions to the entire crew creates unnecessary frustration and ruins the experience. If someone wants to leave early, that’s fine but don’t penalize those of us who want to stay and keep playing. EA, if you truly care about your customers and I’m skeptical that you do, given recent decisions please address this issue. I’m not asking for a complete overhaul of the game, nor am I expecting the original 2005 blacklist cars to be added (though it would be nice). I’m simply asking for this frustrating mechanic to be fixed. Let players make their own choices without being penalized for others’ actions. I lost $800,895 because of this poorly designed system, and it’s unacceptable. Please fix it. Although we all know that it wont be fixed and EA will not even care to address this post. However I really hope I get proved wrong.
