please change the time requirements for gold its impossible to do!

I completed some of the hardest racing games and I also unlocked all achievements in every Need for Speed game before, but the requirements for silver and especially gold are just ridiculous. I won the first prestige race "Horses For Courses" with a best time of 1:58... but for gold I need 1:39. The gap is way too big.I really like the idea of a DLC with some harder events, but please change the time/points for silver/gold. It's nearly Impossible and should be changed. My suggestion is +2 seconds for silver and +5 seconds for gold.. using the current bronze requirement. I also have a bad feeling about the last ultimate event, because restarting such a long event can be a very frustrating experience. =/

Another vote here, add some faster cars or change the times, the math doesn't add up at all I think some of these golds are legit impossible even on a perfect run! This seriously needs patching. Game used to be fun this is downright stupid, one of the worst DLC's I've played.

Plus one here. Some of the other updates where too easy? Yes they were. Eddie's Challenge was the best DLC you guys came out with. New races, a bit of a challenge... This now is just frustrating, makes me wanna sell this game and never bother with a Need For Speed game again.

I don't think anyone is really against the existence of a prestige mode, I think most people are annoyed because it has achievements/trophies tied to it that only a select few people are ever going to accomplish, in a game which has so far been a fun, laid back experience for achievement/trophy hunters. And you might say "good, people should have to earn those hard achievements" and normally I'd agree, but the game has been out for so long now that it feels like a bit of a **** move dropping such mental achievements into the game this far after launch and screwing over all the average players who played it specifically because it was a fun, doable list. Some people like getting world record times, other people like getting all the achievements and moving on, but when those two combine it ruins it for the achievement hunters. By all means have a prestige mode in the game, but was it really necessary to screw over the achievement hunting crowd at the same time?I mean do you really think that all of your pro, record setting players even give a damn about achievements?

Agreed, I'm all for adding a higher difficulty tier, but this is just beyond ridiculous and it needs changing. Some of these are downright impossible, regardless of skill or car choice. Were these times the result of testing or just chosen at random?

Impossible to get gold on all Prestige events!!!

While nerfing the challenges, a serious look is needed at the "win all events in a speedlist" trophy and achievement the game is too inconsistent to get this based on skill alone.

After winning 4 out of 5 events I was spawned into a wreck at the beginning of the fifth race.

Please add a private speedlist option so we can race with our friends. This will add more fun to the game and take away the frustration of always trying to win 5 so we can all play without frustration.

I will throw my support in with this request. It seems like the times were set on clear tracks with no traffic, then uploaded into the 'real world'
Hopefully they can be modified to be hard, but reasonable.
Fortunately I hadn't started this game on my main profile when this update came out, so I won't be stuck with these unachievable trophies. I decided to sell the game while I could recoup most of my purchase price.
I may consider repurchasing if they do get patched, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over skipping this game if they don't.

I would like to see the times required changed too, I like to 100% all my games and don't mind challenging achievements but this is way too hard for most people, I spent around 15 hours just getting 1 gold. It would be greatly appreciated by many people if the times were made a bit easier. Thank you.

I'm a achievement hunter too and I'm very sick of trying to get gold in drift events due to this problems:

IA are not supposed to:
-sprint during turn in train-drift that is a cooperation event
-crash into you and sprint like a race during togue (it mainly drifting because of score system)
-wait you (120KMH) when you are behind them (to be alone for drift) and sprint/crash you when you are a head (220KMH) from them to drift alone in contest drift !

It seems that the IA is out of control, sprint and chrash in me like hell and make it impossible for me to get a good score.

I'm so sick of trying it! ☹️

Of this trophy is the only I can't get due to a bad programmed IA, this will be my last need for speed for sure!

Who, I mean, who of all the achievement hunters asked for those trophies?
Add a prestige mode but don't add trophies for that! >:/

While the gold times are ridiculous, I don't think the multiplayer one needs changing, even if you suck at the game it's doable, especially in Style events, if you play in odd hours there's hardly anyone on. When I got it, there was 2 of us and the other guy quit on round 3.

Dear EA/Ghost,
I'm a big fan of NFS games and have played 12 of them over the past 13 years; NFS (2015) is one of my favourites. That being said, I couldn't agree more with previous comments; the current gold times/scores are ridiculous. I am able to get silver stars in most timed events; but in the drift events I'm struggling to get even the silver stars, having only been able to achieve 2/8.
The latest update is welcomed and much appreciated, however, I implore you to change the current times/scores and or requirements for the ' Gold Plated' trophy; as it is unachievable for the majority of your community, myself included.
Kind regards
guylian
