Cheers,

@EA_Andy Meaningless update, except for the photo mode which has become a little better, and basically the game goes down! I'm disappointed by this series of NFS!!! Need for Speed 2015 was much better and more interesting, Need for Speed Payback boring and unbalanced game no limit on the levels in speedlist 299 level competing with 399 level is not correct! Drift in NFS Payback is just terrible and disgusting apparently the developers of EA/GHOST I do not know what is drift, although in NFS 2015 Drift was much better and more interesting. Why couldn't Need for Speed 2015 be improved? Because EA promised that the game will be better!
Here , these 2 items should help you the next few weeks.

BUGS introduced in the SPEEDCROSS UPDATE are still not fixed
SUSPENSION MODE live TUNING IS STILL BROKEN
the LOWER 3rd Brakelight in the R35 is still BROKEN
the front DRLs are still buggy in the R35
For those who don't wish to read through 3 pages of this thread, allow me to sum up:
WHAAAAAAA.... WHAAAAAAAAAA....WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
@ Ghost Games: You guys are doing good. Payback is awesome fun!! Just remember, the whiners are gonna whine, and the haters gonna hate.
EXCEPT for the fact they STILL ARE not giving us things that were promised AND didn't fix any OBVIOUS bugs
Well, i would like to apologise for mye earlier post on this tread, i was so frustated and angry with the freeroam not being what i was expecting, and that made me sound childish and grumpy, wasn't cool, i'm sorry. I realized would be better come back and try to give some contructive opinion.
Sow, well, i'm still very disapointed with the freeroam, but, i have hope that this is just a first step on it, and wish we can see some improvements on the future, as many already suggested like : events, posibility to challenge other players for a 1x1, and a chat, so we can comunicate without need a mic, and the most important, a massive multiplayer mode, Payback world is huge, and to make it fun we will need way more than 8 players.
About the other additions of the patch:
I really enjoyed the upgrades pack, it was really boring have to buy each part over and over again till reach the level you wanted, and these packs make it much easier.
The option to sell/trade all the parts was also a nice addition, saving a lot of time and boringness
The picture mode, i don't use it much, but i could notice some improvement
and Bugfixes are aways welcome.
Its not what you say its how you say it . Your re post is a proper cool way to say it my friend. IMO 100 points to you for making it better. Respect !!
I am enjoying free roam as it is right now but at the same time i can see where you are coming from. Ghost has been working away since release on updates and such so thats a good sign they could possibly keep at it right.
Thank you for the freeroam update along with the other perks too. I love racing games of all sorts, but Payback has a really good feel and it's one of the only racing games I can play casually with the girlfriend. We both loved the single player, but speed lists were a little too competitive for our tastes so the idea of freeroam is nice, but I do have to admit it is a little dull with no activities to do. I would highly recommend adding as many activities and game types as you can think of. Think outside of the box on this one and add as much as possible with as many options as possible so we have choice. Some examples off the top of my head are:
1. Add events, I mean, if you could literally take the single player freeroam map with all the campaign missions, races, coins, hidden cars, map objectives....etc and put that in the mutliplayer all drive mode that would be great in itself.....
2. Be able to create private freeroam lobbies so just you and a few friends can be in it
3. If events are added (have the ability to fill empty slots with AI, I know I'm probably alone on this) but as a casual racers, being able to queue up a race with a friend with adjustable difficulty on AI is where me and my girl have the most stress free fun. Forza does this well but we're not a huge fan of that game and would prefer to do it in Payback
4. Add NEW game types that currently don't exist, like cops and robbers, hide and seek, stunt tracks and whatever else your craziest dev can think of!
5. Add options, options, options to allow people to adjust as much as possible from group waypoints, how name plates are displayed, ability to toggle on or off all HUD elements to my liking, adjustable hud, proper triple monitor support etc....bit off topic but options are great.
6. Ability to challenge drivers 1 on 1, with a group of friends AND have the ability to fill with AI if desired.
7. Have optional cops roaming around
8. Still have roaming AI racers that you can challenge with a friend
9. Have team based events, where you can team up with players for a combined score
10. Have some sort of achievement system, or rewards for doing things in freeroam
At the end of the day, I'd like to be able to do more then aimlessly roam with a friend. Creating our own ideas with pencil and paper is alright for a day or two but gets stale quick and gives no sense of accomplishment.
I was just making some research on internet trying to see what people tought about the freeroam, and i found something that gave me a lot of hope: Aparently in the update screen news (that messages that show on the game after a update, talking about what's new) it was saying that this was just a first stage of the Alldrive mode, so, that's basically an confirmation that they will improve it and add new stuff in future updates.
I was so excited to see the freeroam that i just skiped it all, ops. I will try not make the same mistake again XD
Btw, anybody knows if is possible make the game show that messages again? i would like to see by myself to see if there's any other info, or someone that still didn't updated can check it or even post a screenshot?
