Re: [NFSU2] Car automatically accelerates
Do you have an analog controller (or possibly game pad) connected to your PC? If for some reason NFSU2 is defaulting to separate axis for throttle and brake, then with the controls centered, the throttle and brake would both be at 1/2 of full throw, and perhaps this results in the cars accelerating.
Try going into options ... controller and seeing what the settings are and reassign and/or adjust them as needed.
