$4.99 for one car? Slow down EA...
So... ~5 months since game release and no PVP speedlist, no AI fix, no fps drop fix, no RSR nerf, no proper stance, no proper perf tuning... yet you ask money for one single car. 😃 You better come ...

Pretty obvious, but it sounds to me like this game didn't sell very well, hence some micro-transaction options.
Is it P2W? Not quite, since it's all available. Pay to get the shinnies faster? Sure it is, but it's not like it takes forever to get anything anyways; just a few days / weeks.
I don't have a problem with it myself, but $4.99 is too much; now $2.99, sure.
What's worse is that not only do you have to pay for the car but then you have to do a bunch of stupid STUFF to be able to fully trick it out. If you've paid real money for the thing, it should come with all of the options enabled without having to do a bunch of grind first...
- @ZeroMcDol Well the problem is this is the best car in the game now right besides the RSR. Creating this illusion that you need to buy it. No no no screw you EA. If this update had more to it than just cars and a few more races, I might have thought a bit different about this.
I like the car but think that it is over priced. Should be a mutli car pack for that amount of change.imo
The fact that they said there will be no microtransactions, and now look where we are now. I do hope this game will not end up like Payback, but what am i saying this is EA we are talking about.
Alright, the game is still downloading, but I've seen the update notes:
- McLaren F1 1993, buy only option $4.99.
- DB11 2018, in-game cash option.
While it is a pay to win car, as long as they don't restrict the cars that are currently available, then fine. Like I said, this game didn't sell very well and the developers have moved to adding some now buy-only cars to recoup some of the game's loses. As long as they don't bombard the game with micro-transactions, or lock content already in the game behind a paywall, then fine.
For me, I was already satisfied with the Skyline R32, 180SX, BRZ, S2000, Lotus Exige, BMW M3 and M3 GTR (finally), and my favorites, the Aston Martin Vulcan and Dodge Viper (with the correct engine sound).
Edit:
Besides, this will be the last NFS game that I will probably ever play. The game is not in a great state, but I do hope that it will improve over time, and it will take money for that to happen.
- @ZeroMcDol EA is already bilions worth... so they have more than enough to create good games from the start.
Paying money for an unfinished product of any kind is stupid and paying even more money for polish is... ultimate retardation.
