Impossible to get gold on all Prestige events!!!

I managed to get the Gold Plate Xbox achievement shortly after you made that screenshot but I do agree that it is very tricky to get and needs to be altered.

I only got it through strained patience, competitive nature and stubborn nature.  Most the races were met with me shouting at the screen and in case we all missed it this is supposed to be a fun game.... I did not have fun being angry working towards this achievement.  

Worst thing I had to battle with the time delay on racing events.  You can cross the line .2 seconds faster then the gold target time but it would take .5 to 1 second to register you going over the line since its online only.  Its ironic when one of the loading screen "tweets" say, and I quote "Clock doesn't lie"...when actually it does...

EA/ Ghost

I don't know who got this stupid idea not support game who don't have even year but consider what I write. Do even meet with Your director studio because right now Your situation is not good. Propably bad or one of the worst of Your positions. Believe me. This situation is beyond me what I read today. 50% propably will not buy NFS.50% because You upset a lot people who buy game who don't have even year and You left support. Who do this in times when others studio started fight about one customers because this customers can talk another customers about good game, support. Other talk to another and etc. This is how build good reputation and even when screwed few times this will be forgiven but not overtimes like You do. My god. 50% players are angry, upset disappointed about situation who was, because they buy Your game who left support after 2 months on PC ( If i correct) did  lot bugs in last update, trophy hunters, achievements hunters are angry, and right now You upset players who played this game and counted for new update, fix bugs. What are You doing? Too less controversy? You got another controversy. Just do last update for Need for speed fix times, add garage, add cars what they want ( the same cars can be repeat in NFS 2017 and noone be angry), and all be happy and You start build good reputations. What are you doing? Who got stupid idea with this? Remember that Your action has our reaction. This is my last post. Believe if You don't listen players,trophyhunters, achievement hunters who want back Your good reputation, want do free advertisement do write about Your good behaviour and write to friends about good behaviour and recommended Your games. Right now You got only chance to do something good for Yourselfs. So consider and first time use this chance who can gain a lot customers. You got nothing to lose you only can gain more customers. This is hard to think first time clearly? Is this hard? This is my last post to You. You got chance use this or You will got another unused chance to build. Remember that people remember how You finish not start. So right now think and consider this. You do decision but remember this decision can have consequences good or bad. 

Zera

Comes to something when the only single person on XBOX to get it agrees it should be changed

Everyone would more than happy if the achievements of the current DLC Speedlist were changed to a more simplier goal

Win all the Prestige events change to win 5 or more prestige events

Win Gold on all Prestige events change to win 1 gold prestige event

Win all the events in a Speedlist change to win at least 3 events out of 5 in a speedlist

everyone would be back and you will see and increase in online activity once these changes take effect

please for the love of gamers completion please change/amend these achievements to make it more fun and suitable for all

peace out

I like a challenge... I think we all do...

But I think this has been blown way out of proportion.  The only kind of people who will get that achievement are the hardcore racers who have plenty of experience....and even then it will be tough for them.  Put an average gamer who is a completionist will now have a mountain to climb if they choose to try.

When it was released it was hailed as one of those games you can easily 100% the in trophies or achievements, but now it seems someone took that as an insult and worked just as hard as those few who managed to get gold just to satisfy in their minds, "hmm ok, should be a little more challenging now....right, now to NFS 2017".

Yes I proved it is do-able.....but I would rally with the rest on this thread and say that this definitely needs to change before more lose respect to EA's decisions.

Yup. Most of us want an easier goal. I don't think the "win all the events in a speedlist" needs to be changed. I also think making the achievements THAT easy to unlock isn't the best solution. Prestige Mode was created for experienced players and i think it's okay if we have to practice all events for our achievements.

So i'll stick with: change bronze times to gold and reduce the required drift points. Another lazy solution: Add 15 seconds to the gold times (increase 2:00 to 2:15 as example) and reduce the drift points by a fixed % amount like 25% - 50%. I think that should be hard enough.

I don't know which fix is more likely to happen. I know it shouldn't be a problem to change the achievement requirements. So if we only have this as a plan B it's still way better than the current situation.

@Kugare When you say "simply give us 15 seconds more as gold requirement for each event" do you mean make the Gold times 15 seconds faster (7:45 down to 7:30) or give us an extra 15 seconds to finish (7:45 increased to 8:00)? I'm reading that the first way and it would make Race events even worse than Drift currently is. Hopefully I'm just misreading that, but I wanted to clarify if Ghost is watching this and considering the ideas pitched. 

I'm fine with working towards a challenge, but the current requirements are ridiculous. Barely any cars tuned to perfection can manage Gold. This isn't like Forza where you can download a tune from an in-game store. If you don't know how to get it tuned to the proper handling then this isn't even remotely possible. There's guides on the internet to help, but it should be pretty clear there's an issue when you need help just to get the pre-race setup done. That's not even taking into account the lag, and randomness of the actual events.

I'd say there's a few options:

1) Reduce the in-game Gold times and scores to Bronze, or close to it.

2) Reduce the Achievement/Trophy requirements to 1-5 Gold medals.

And while you're at it, fix the issues in the console game. The PC version seems to be far more stable and forgiving than the console versions so at least even the playing field.

One thing that does have to be kept in mind is the Achievement/Trophy across all systems. On Xbox they can be adjusted after release, but I'm not sure about PS4 or PC. Changing the requirements for those may not be possible on all three, so that could remove that option. It would all come down to altering the in-game times and scores. I'm willing to wait for Ghost to do some testing to find a comfortable middle ground, as long as we can get a concrete answer that something will be done about this soon.

please lower the requirements, this went from a fun game to a game Ill never play again.

Same here, the trophies are just insane... what a mess...

I'll edit my post, but of course I mean 15 extra seconds to finish.
