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.

Game is insanely difficult on the easiest setting. The moment you are in first place the AI goes berserk and throws everything it can on your incoming driveline and gives the other cars behind you extra speed and cornering abilities and they just smash you off the road. If we wanted difficult we would just do life guys. We dont play games because theyre hard, we play them to chill out. Hope you are going to fix it rather than drop the game and leave it stupidly unplayable.Solved17Views0likes2CommentsGame crash
I found problem with Need for Speed no limits game, recently I tried adding all my Google play accounts to my device and it caused game to crash in permanent loading screen. Apparently if you have more than 3 Google play accounts signed in on your device it causes game to get stuck in loading screen permanently.

EA, Bring Back Need for Speed ProStreet — The Remaster Fans Deserve Dear EA and Need for Speed developers, I’m writing this as a passionate Need for Speed fan with one request: Please bring back Need for Speed ProStreet. But not as a simple HD remaster. Imagine taking everything that made the original ProStreet special, rebuilding it with modern technology, and creating the definitive version of the game: NEED FOR SPEED PROSTREET REMASTERED ProStreet was different from other Need for Speed games. It wasn't about simply driving around an open world at night. It was about building a race car, choosing your discipline, tuning it, taking risks, dealing with damage, winning events and building your reputation. That identity is exactly what I would want to see preserved. --- 🏁 1. KEEP THE HEART OF PROSTREET The most important thing: Don't turn ProStreet Remastered into another open-world street-racing game. Keep the professional racing atmosphere. The core should remain: - Circuit racing - Grip - Drag - Drift - Speed Challenge - Race Days - Vehicle tuning - Performance upgrades - Damage and repairs - Rivalries - Championships - Reputation and progression The game should feel like a massive underground-to-professional racing journey. --- 🔧 2. A MUCH DEEPER TUNING SYSTEM This could be one of the biggest improvements. Let players build cars specifically for each discipline. Performance tuning Allow players to adjust things like: - Gear ratios - Tire compounds - Tire pressure - Suspension - Ride height - Springs - Dampers - Anti-roll bars - Brakes - Brake balance - Differential - Steering - Downforce - Aerodynamics - Turbo/supercharger settings - Engine upgrades And make these changes actually affect how the car behaves. A Drag build shouldn't drive like a Grip build. A Drift build shouldn't feel like a Speed Challenge build. Visual customization Bring back the classic ProStreet customization while expanding it: - Body kits - Bumpers - Hoods - Spoilers - Side skirts - Wheels - Exhausts - Paint - Vinyls - Decals - Window tint - Interior customization - Roll cages - Racing seats - Steering wheels - Gauges And please bring back Autosculpt in an upgraded form. Imagine modern Autosculpt allowing players to create completely unique bodywork. --- 💥 3. MAKE THE DAMAGE SYSTEM A MAJOR FEATURE One of ProStreet's most memorable ideas deserves a serious modern evolution. Don't make crashes purely cosmetic. A major crash should potentially affect: - Engine performance - Steering - Suspension - Brakes - Aerodynamics - Drivetrain - Bodywork And cars should need to be repaired. This could make every Race Day more meaningful. You might have a perfectly tuned car before an event... Then you push too hard, crash badly and have to decide: Do I spend my money repairing it, or risk racing again with a damaged car? That would make racing feel much more intense. --- 🏆 4. A HUGE CAREER MODE This is where I think a modern ProStreet could become something truly special. Start with a modest car. Build it. Tune it. Race it. Win money. Build your reputation. Find sponsors. Meet rivals. Upgrade your equipment. Eventually become one of the biggest names in the racing scene. Career progression could include: Street level → Local events → Regional competitions → National championships → Elite events → World-level competition And instead of simply unlocking cars, the player should gradually build an entire racing operation. --- 🏎️ 5. MULTIPLE RACING ORGANIZATIONS Imagine different teams or racing organizations specializing in different disciplines. For example: Grip teams Focused on technical circuits and cornering. Drag teams Focused on acceleration, launches and straight-line performance. Drift teams Focused on style, angle, precision and score. Speed Challenge teams Focused on extreme high-speed racing. You could develop relationships with these groups, compete against them and eventually become their biggest rival. --- 🌍 6. MORE TRACKS — BUT NO GENERIC OPEN WORLD Instead of one giant open-world map, give us a collection of high-quality racing locations. For example: - Mountain roads - Desert highways - Industrial areas - Race circuits - Airfields - Coastal roads - Forest roads - High-speed motorways - Technical circuits - Drag strips And bring back iconic ProStreet locations where possible. The focus should be quality racing environments, not simply making the map enormous. --- 🚗 7. A MASSIVE CAR LIST The car roster should combine iconic ProStreet cars with modern performance cars. I would love to see a mixture of: - Japanese tuners - American muscle - European sports cars - Modern supercars - Hypercars - Classic performance cars - Legendary Need for Speed vehicles And, most importantly: Bring back iconic cars from the original ProStreet. Seeing some of those vehicles rebuilt with modern graphics would be incredible. --- 🎮 8. DIFFERENT DRIVING STYLES Give players options. Arcade Easy to pick up and play. Pro More demanding handling and braking. Simulation-inspired More realistic vehicle behavior and tuning consequences. But don't lose the classic Need for Speed feeling. The goal shouldn't be to turn ProStreet into another hardcore simulator. It should remain accessible, fast and exciting. --- 🌐 9. MODERN ONLINE MULTIPLAYER This could make ProStreet incredibly addictive today. Online Race Days Create your own event and invite other players. Online Championships Compete through multiple races with points accumulated across the championship. Leaderboards Separate rankings for: - Grip - Drag - Drift - Speed Challenge Online Crews Create a racing organization with friends. Choose a name, logo, colors and cars. Weekly events EA could create rotating competitions with unique rewards. --- 🛠️ 10. CUSTOM RACE DAY CREATOR One feature I would absolutely love: Create your own Race Day. Choose: - Track - Discipline - Number of races - Weather - Time of day - AI difficulty - Car class - Performance restrictions - Damage settings - Rewards Then share the event online. Imagine the community creating its own championships. --- 🌧️ 11. WEATHER AND TIME OF DAY Modern technology could make the racing atmosphere incredible. Include: - Clear weather - Rain - Heavy rain - Fog - Storms - Sunset - Night racing - Sunrise And make weather affect the cars. Wet conditions should change braking distances, grip and vehicle behavior. --- 🎵 12. KEEP THE PROSTREET ATMOSPHERE This is extremely important. Don't erase the identity of the original game. Bring back the feeling of: Race Days. Crowds. Announcements. Sponsors. Competitors. Tension. Engines. Tires. Burnouts. The sound of a car being pushed to its limit. And, if licensing allows it, bring back as much of the original soundtrack as possible. A modern soundtrack could be added alongside it. --- 📸 13. PHOTO MODE AND REPLAYS Give players a powerful photo mode. Allow: - Camera control - Lens effects - Depth of field - Motion blur - Weather control - Time-of-day control - Decal visibility - Cinematic replay cameras And let us save complete race replays. ProStreet cars deserve to be shown off. --- 🏁 14. THE ULTIMATE RACE DAY The final goal of the career could be an enormous championship. A multi-discipline event combining: Grip → Drag → Drift → Speed Challenge Your car, your tuning decisions and everything you've learned throughout the career would finally be put to the test. That would be an amazing way to finish the game. --- 🎨 15. DON'T FORGET THE ORIGINAL STYLE Please don't make everything ultra-serious and generic. ProStreet had personality. Keep the aggressive visual style. Keep the dramatic presentation. Keep the feeling that every event matters. Make the game modern without removing its identity. --- ❤️ WHY I THINK THIS COULD WORK Need for Speed has experimented with many different identities throughout its history. Open-world street racing. Police chases. Illegal racing. Customization. Story-driven experiences. But ProStreet represented something different: organized competitive racing. And I believe there is still a huge amount of potential in that concept. A ProStreet Remastered could appeal to: - Fans of the original game - New Need for Speed players - Car enthusiasts - Tuning fans - Competitive racing fans - Players who want something different from another open-world game It could even become its own branch of Need for Speed. --- 🔥 MY DREAM PROSTREET Imagine this: You start with a cheap car. You choose your first discipline. You buy your first performance parts. You tune the suspension. You install better tires. You build your first serious engine. You enter your first Race Day. You make mistakes. You crash. You repair the car. You improve it. You meet rivals. You earn sponsors. You build your reputation. You eventually have multiple cars, each built for a specific discipline. Then you enter the biggest Race Day of your career. And when the lights go green... everything you've built comes down to one race. That's the ProStreet experience I would love to see brought back. --- 🙏 EA, PLEASE CONSIDER IT I'm not asking you to simply recreate a game from 2007. I'm asking you to look at what ProStreet was trying to do and ask: “What could ProStreet become with today's technology?” Take the original concept. Keep its identity. Improve its weaknesses. Expand its strengths. Give it modern graphics, physics, tuning, damage, multiplayer and community features. And create something that feels like ProStreet — evolved. Because sometimes the best way forward isn't to forget the past. Sometimes it's to bring back the best ideas and give them another chance. EA, bring back ProStreet. Bring back the Race Days. Bring back the competition. Let us build our cars again. See you at the starting line. 🏁 — A passionate Need for Speed fan14Views0likes0CommentsNFS No Limits is down again?… of course it is

Dear Andrew Wilson and the Electronic Arts team, I have been a longtime fan of the Need for Speed series, and I wanted to share how much Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) still means to so many players. The game had an incredible open world, exciting police pursuits, fun multiplayer, and a unique progression system that made it stand out from other racing games. Even years later, many fans continue to play it and talk about it online because it captured something special. I respectfully ask EA and Criterion Games to consider creating a remaster for modern platforms such as Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Improved graphics, higher frame rates, cross-play, and quality-of-life updates while preserving the original gameplay would be a dream come true for many fans. Thank you for continuing to create great racing games and for listening to your community. I hope you’ll consider bringing Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) back for a new generation of players. Sincerely, A devoted Need for Speed fan62Views0likes1CommentNeed For Speed Payback - Daily Challenges unavailable for almost a month (Xbox)
Hello, I've been experiencing a long-standing issue with Daily Challenges in Need for Speed Payback on Xbox. For almost a month (since early June 2026), when I go to Challenges, it says "Challenges are unavailable, please try again later". I cannot access or complete any daily challenges. AllDrive and Ranked Speedlists work fine (I can play with other players). Autolog recommendations also work. The achievement "A Daily a Day" is stuck because of this. This issue has been reported by many players before, but it seems to be happening again on a large scale. Platform: Xbox Game Version: Latest Please investigate and fix the Daily Challenges server-side issue. Thank you.80Views0likes2CommentsNFSMW audio stopped working

CM post update: Some players may continue to experience game crashes, stuttering, black screens, launch failures, or graphical glitches after updating their graphics drivers. If a normal driver update did not resolve the problem, a clean graphics driver installation may help remove damaged files or conflicts from an incomplete installation. Important information before you begin Updating through the Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA software is normally the correct first step. A driver update does not automatically become unreliable because it installs over an existing version. Display Driver Uninstaller, also known as DDU, should not be used for every routine driver update. Its developer describes it as a troubleshooting tool for cases where the normal driver installation or removal process fails, or when changing from one GPU manufacturer to another. Players using integrated graphics are also not limited to waiting for Windows Update. Intel and AMD provide official driver detection and download tools for supported integrated graphics. On laptops and prebuilt computers, check the computer manufacturer's support page first, since the manufacturer may provide customized drivers for that specific system. Step 1: Download the correct graphics driver Before removing your current driver, download the latest compatible driver and save it somewhere easy to find. Use the official driver page for your graphics hardware: Intel Drivers and Software AMD Drivers and Support NVIDIA Driver Downloads Make sure you select the correct GPU model and Windows version. If you have a laptop or prebuilt PC from a company such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, or MSI, check that manufacturer's support page before installing a generic graphics driver. Step 2: Try the manufacturer's clean-installation option Before using DDU, try the clean-installation method provided by your GPU manufacturer. Intel graphics Run the Intel graphics driver installer and select Execute a clean installation when that option appears. This removes the previous Intel graphics driver and resets Intel graphics settings to their defaults. Restart the computer if prompted. NVIDIA graphics Download and run the NVIDIA driver installer, then: Select Custom (Advanced). Enable Perform a clean installation. Continue with the installation. Restart the computer after the installation finishes. NVIDIA recommends closing games, web browsers, video players, GPU monitoring tools, and tuning applications before starting the installation. AMD graphics Run the AMD Software installer and use the Factory Reset option if it is available. This removes previously installed AMD Software packages before installing the selected driver. If the normal AMD uninstall or installation process fails, AMD also provides its own AMD Cleanup Utility. AMD recommends running that utility in Windows Safe Mode for the best results. Step 3: Use DDU only if the problem continues If the official clean-installation method does not work, you can try Display Driver Uninstaller. Download the latest version of DDU from the official developer page: Download Display Driver Uninstaller from Wagnardsoft Save the correct Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA driver installer before continuing. Disconnect your computer from the internet. This can prevent Windows Update from automatically installing another graphics driver while you are completing the clean installation. Start Windows in Safe Mode. Microsoft explains that Safe Mode starts Windows with only a limited set of essential files and drivers. The DDU developer strongly recommends using Safe Mode to reduce the chance of interference during removal. Microsoft guide to Windows Safe Mode Extract DDU to a folder on a local drive and open Display Driver Uninstaller.exe. In DDU, select GPU as the device type. Select your graphics manufacturer: Intel AMD NVIDIA Select Clean and restart. DDU will remove the selected graphics driver and restart the computer. After restarting, Windows may temporarily use a lower resolution, different scaling, or reduced visual effects. This is expected while Windows is using its basic display driver. Locate the official graphics driver installer that you downloaded earlier. Install the driver and allow the process to finish completely. Restart the computer when prompted, or restart once after the installation has completed. Reconnect to the internet and test the affected game again. Systems with more than one GPU Some laptops and desktop computers have both an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU. For example, a system may use Intel integrated graphics alongside an NVIDIA graphics card. Only remove the driver you are specifically trying to reinstall. Do not remove both drivers unless you have identified a reason to reinstall both. Final note A clean graphics driver installation may help with driver-related crashes, graphical corruption, black screens, poor performance, or failed driver updates. It is not a guaranteed fix for every game issue, but it can help rule out a damaged or conflicting graphics driver installation. There is also no need to wait several minutes before restarting after the new driver has installed. Once the installer has finished, restart immediately if prompted or perform one normal restart afterward. Intel and NVIDIA both include restarting as part of their official clean-installation guidance.6.4KViews3likes5CommentsThe Infamous Error Code
I was playing this game everyday until “Error Code” I’ve done everything. I’ve uninstalled it. Installed the add-ons 1st and 1 by 1. I’ve deleted cars off story mode and online. I’ve deleted wraps. I’ve done everything. It won’t even let me play story mode! What’s the next step? Or can you guys fix the Error Code? People spent hard earned money on this game, made friends, made dream cars, made car groups all kind of cool things. Need For Speed Unbound it’s almost at 2 year mark and i still can’t play the game cause of the “Error Code”. What should the Need For Speed community do?31Views0likes0CommentsEND OF KAIZEN REVIEW
I thought this would be posted and shared a couple of days ago, but it never was. So I thought I would share this news. This may be old news by now, but I still wanted to share for those unaware of what's happening. The original can be seen here: https://www.ea.com/games/need-for-speed/need-for-speed-unbound/news/end-of-kaizen-review?utm_campaign=nfsu_hd_ww_ic_soco_blog_nfsu-kaizen-end&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=social&cid=83335&ts=1739209122945 Thank you for your support on NFS Unbound Hi everyone, As you might know, we’re joining our colleagues at Criterion, working on the future of Battlefield. Over the past couple of years, we’ve been getting your feedback and we’re proud to have delivered the most complete NFS experience yet. We’ve been listening, observing and making adjustments using our Kaizen philosophy to be more transparent and give you more of what you love. Thank you for being part of the Unbound journey. It’s been quite a ride! As is tradition at the end of a Volume, we love to get your thoughts and feedback on the latest additions to the game, it’s still incredibly useful for the teams at EA to learn more about what you like, didn’t like and more. We read all your comments even if we cannot reply to them all directly, and as always, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on NFS. For one last time, let’s delve into the feedback for this volume and the year of Kaizen overall. WHAT WE HEARD There are a few important disclaimers we need to share before getting into it: 1.Since we’re at the end of live service on Unbound, we won’t be updating the game or making any more changes, but rest assured your notes and comments are being captured and will help inform the future. 2.We will only be including feedback in these reports that relates to what we’re doing in NFS Unbound. There are certain frequent community requests that are outside of the scope of this project. Know that it’s heard and that your enthusiasm is appreciated, but we won’t be addressing those requests in this review. If you’re new to the game and want a recap of the features we’re discussing below, please visit the Vol. 9: Lockdown reveal blog. TOP FEEDBACK ON LOCKDOWN As is tradition at the end of a Volume we love to get your thoughts and feedback on the latest additions to the game, it’s always incredibly useful for the teams at EA to learn more about what you like, didn’t like and more. We read all your comments even if we cannot reply to them all directly, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on NFS. Here’s some of the top responses on Lockdown & Extraction play, which we asked you all about on Reddit, Instagram and X (Twitter). Donnie says: “As for the new cars(lockdown), I’d like to see them added to story mode. I can’t use them in online without being targeted because some players are “jealous” that I have the cars.” Testingblock says: “Can we get the bike in free roam? Would make the game so much more fun” Maati182_ says: “I loved this mode so much. Really brought me back to NFS and Unbound, which I never actually played online after completing story mode. Had a couple weeks of max fun with my pal, actually one of the best experiences I had playing this franchise I actually find the PvPvE and Extraction gameplay pretty balanced between fun and challenging. It's not always easy to get away with it, but if you learn all the tricks it does get easier. I haven't been playing lately due to few free time and problems with my pc but I'm looking forward to get back. I'd love to see some different cars in the lockdowns to extract. When you extracted all the cars you liked it becomes a little repetitive and you only play to earn money, which is great, but I find extracting cars more exciting. Would love to see a weekly ride rotation” We’re thrilled to hear that you feel Lockdown is a fun and interesting new way to play Need for Speed. The extraction gameplay and the introduction of those coveted rides added a whole new dynamic to the experience, so it makes sense that you’d want to see those vehicles crossover to other parts of the game - but as we’ve mentioned before with other modes, we weren’t able to make this happen within the time we had. We also saw many comments asking for more variety in the rewards offered through the game mode, to encourage repeat play, as well as ways to play the game mode privately or exclusively with friends - something for us to keep in mind for the future. I think the thing we take away from this the most is that you are all up for new ways to play in the NFS-verse as long as (a) it compliments the feel and tone of NFS through context, world setting and gameplay and (b) we get the core and fundamentals right first. TOP FEEDBACK FOR NEW RIDES Vol.9 introduced rideable motorbikes, a first in NFS. We also added two JDM classics from Honda and SUBARU, and a legendary machine made its epic return. Here’s some of your top responses to our questions on Reddit (twice), Instagram and X (Twitter). Zilla_9r1 said: “Love the Bikes. Would love to have my own to customize paint job and wrap. Proper speed and handling [on the bike] felt great. [On the cars], personally, I'm a JDM lover. Any tuner cars are a yes for me.” Sean_huber said: “First game to make a bike feel properly fast. More bikes please.” KRacer13 said: “I think the bike gameplay should be expanded in the future. More bikes with this type of handling, it's incredibly fun feeling you're in (somewhat) control of something so fast! But that's also the problem, it's twitchy, very twitchy, too critical due to unstable terrain. If it was a bit more predictable in that way, it'd be a lot better, at least from my point of view. I wouldn't say it "feels" like NFS, but it depends on what NFS "feels" like. Also, in my opinion the franchise needs a shakeup, it needs to feel fresh and new, and I think the bike (or bikeS, in plural) fits that role really well. But just adding them won't be enough to make them "feel like NFS". Customization, variety and their own personality are required (imo) to feel like they belong. Otherwise, they'll feel a little bit like a fun gimmick but that's it. The new cars are fine. Weird that the Most Wanted update brought JDM cars but I'm not complaining, they're nice.“ ShinbiVipes said: “Bikes are a great addition to the game, genuinely could be one of the most fun ways to play if they're actually balanced. It feels like an evolution from how the bikes worked in the Midnight Club series, high grip and high speed. It would be nice if this feeling would transfer to the actual cars too. Cars are decent, I just wish we got more "Out of left field" options like some Kei cars, older Peugeots or maybe something of the concept car variety. It doesn't all have to be iconic cars, because those will just get lost in the sea of cars you add.“ Zakon_BY said: “Bike: simply the best vehicle in Unbound in terms of handling - predictable, intuitive, smooth and really fun, hope to see this principle in the future installments for every vehicle, both 4 and 2 wheels” Overall, we saw a lot of love for the BMW S 1000 RR, players really enjoyed riding a motorbike in NFS for the first time and there was a lot of praise for its handling. We also saw plenty of feedback on wanting to have bike customisation, and a way to ride the bike outside of Lockdown - all good fodder here for us to think about new vehicle experiences, and how we build on them in the future. We also saw positivity towards the new cars, as well as the return of “Razor’s” M3 - and yeah, we know the JDMs aren’t necessarily on the nose for a Most Wanted inspired mode, but it had taken us more time than we expected to perfect these cars, so we were excited to finally introduce them to the game! REVIEWING KAIZEN Like we said at the beginning of the year - Kaizen was all about continuous improvement, and we set out to make you, our players and fans, a key part of our journey too. We heard you loud and clear: single player content that goes beyond what's in the game at launch means a heck of a lot! But we did add some much-needed, longer-term progression with Ranks and Leagues, brought back some absolute NFS classics with Drag and Improved Drift, and gave you the opportunity to play on the wrong side of the law with Cop play and Pursuit tech. Then…we took all of those learnings of old and crafted something completely new with Lockdown, our PvPvE extraction mode! Bit by bit this came together… as per Kaizen (had to get it in one more time!). Oh and of course, we threw in motorbikes for the first time in NFS history and it was great to see the return of the iconic BMW M3 GTR in-game & IRL, and even a surprise visit from Razor himself. We’ll still be playing the game, and we hope to see you cruising around Lakeshore City. Team Kaizen1.4KViews0likes7Comments
