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.

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.

DEBUGGER (WinDbg/cdb): protected exe loads Core\Activation64.dll (EA anti-tamper), then loops loading imagehlp.dll (PE checksum) + AppxDeploymentClient.dll before terminating.

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.128Views0likes0CommentsGame softlocked/Not able to earn money
The game is at the end of it life cycle and bugs like this are STILL happening. On the PS5, I was a saving issue. My car wraps couldn't save and kept giving me an error code. Now on Xbox, its worse, as I can not get money or play online. Saying my inventory isn't working. EA... this is why people have issue with your games. This has to be addressed and fixed, please.29Views0likes0CommentsNFS 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?9Views0likes0CommentsDrift pro tires for $10 a month?
Why are all of these gaming companies monetizing everything, look I get it you want dlc from the past or to catch up” on certain items, fine. But besides main player base game purchasing, you should not have to be forced to pay more money after a commitment of a one time purchase for additional content that should be apart of the game to begin with.. the drift pro tires for real you need to be online to use and purchase in game, I’ll play nfs because the racing aspect is halfway decent besides all of this cartoon and really annoying npc for racing thats about it other than the graphics, payback was better, heat was rigid, but you gotta think about what players are saying. I can’t tell you how many times I have uninstalled this game to finally come back to it after comparing other games that is not anything to compare to, and said this is all there is… mine as well have something to do. why are you also penalized for selling a purchased dlc for $0 in game and the. Can’t retrieve the vehicle back ? That makes no sense, despite those cars being really bad to begin with they were so gripped tot he road they had super glue in the tires… but if I later in realize I like the body kit or atleast can upgrade to my liking now I can’t, m yet payback was a matter of just goin to the dealership and picking it up.. why are we going backwards?24Views0likes0Comments[Feedback/Idea] Legacy Story Mode: The return of "The Ace" and the BMW M3 GTR
Hello Criterion and EA Team, As a long-time fan of the franchise, I would love to share a concept for a future story DLC or game mode that the community would absolutely love: a "Legacy Concept" that connects the golden era with modern NFS games. The idea is an alternate story set in the present day. After decades of hiding, the original protagonist from Most Wanted and Carbon ("The Ace") returns as a veteran driver in his early 40s. In the story, a young rookie pilot loses everything after being defeated by a modern hypercar (like the Koenigsegg Regera). Seeing the same raw talent and ambition he had back in 2005, "The Ace" decides to pass the torch. In a cinematic climax, he hands over the keys to the legendary silver and blue BMW M3 GTR E46 to the rookie, commanding him to prove to the city that pure modern horsepower is nothing without old-school handling and control. This would be the ultimate tribute to the franchise's history, giving a proper closure to the original protagonist while respecting the legendary status of the BMW M3 GTR. It would connect the nostalgia of the 2000s with the high-stakes modern street racing of today. Thank you for reading and for keeping the street racing spi rit alive!25Views0likes0CommentsXbox Series S - Fell through map during Skyline Sprint race (Lotus Exige S)

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.57Views0likes0Commentscan't accelerate in NFS unbound or any new Games
