Complaints & Recommendations. A hardcore fan's love letter to Ghost Games.
To begin with, I would like to say that I am a hardcore NFS fan from NFS Hot Pursuit 2. I have played each and every NFS game from then (even on iOS). This post is my compaints/suggestions on how to make the newly released NFS better. To reddittors: I know you may disagree on many things, but I am sure that you will see fit on even one of my suggestions. So PLEASE UPVOTE to make this list known. This is NOT a hate post, this is an open letter to Ghost Games to make the game we love, better.
Thank you for this amazing game, the latest NFS title really sums up the best parts of all previous NFS games. There is so much room for improvement, especially now that it is online.
1) Great graphics, great gameplay but really poor on content. I bought this game on international release and today I'm done with it. I mean the story was disappointing by a longshot, the characters were ok. But the whole story was Go There, Do That. Now Go There, Do That Again. The most interesting backstory on an NFS game was Most Wanted(which was my favorite part of the series). Next, cars. This is a racing game and we have really small list of cars available. I am really looking forward to the content updates that I hope will bring more cars to the game.
2)I'm on Day 2 and I already own a Lamborghini and a Ferrari(end game cars). This is a bummer, as well. I have not put in so many hours and I already own the best cars (available). I have finished the story and now I already have fully upgraded end-game cars. I will not try to customize lower Tier cars because now I am on the final/fastest Tier. Make it so that we have a cooldown before replaying a race. One can constantly grind an 8.000 dollar race and make enough money to do anything. Something needs to change in terms of currency. No micro-transactions, just make it harder to make money! It feels more of an early-access than a full game experience.
3)A breathtaking, but lonely and quiet world. Everything is quiet, there are only 8 players per session who just MIGHT reply to your challenge and the traffic is almost nowheere to be found. There is nothing to do if nobody replies, you are all alone. Also, the police is non existent. Their AI is almost idiotic, they will not even come close to you when you own a Lamborghini. I am constantly hitting the brake so they can catch up with me! The cop chase experience should be made more interesting. Take back the Chargers and bring back the old CROSS cops that made the chase intriguing. Or just make them smarter. They even pass by me and DON'T start chasing me.
4)The cell phone. Fix it. (the most clingy friends in a videogame.)
P.S: I really hope that you see this and take these recommendations into account. We love this game and want t see it get better. Also we are looking forward to the FREE content updates!
Hi @zacharisharris,

I was glad to read that you enjoyed the game. And I must agree with you, there is always room for improvement. Thanks again!
