In-game voice AND lack of wheel support

Well EA and Criterion, you have made yet another "could be good" title. Do you ever listen to players ?

Joining multiplayer and having to individually mute all idiots who do not know what "mute" on their mics/headsets means, is as irritating as the makers who cannot put in simple lines of code to give the mutliplayer option to "mute all".

When it says "wheel support", i was hopeful, foolishly, it would work with my Logitech G27. Well, it does, in a manner of speaking, but it has no wheel weight, no feedback and no steering sensitivity.

Shame you can make a good looking cake but when cut open it's just cardboard.....

And why isn't there an option to play as cops ? Hot Pursuit was great fun being able to choose racer or cop with spikestrips, emps et al.

  • A simple solution would just to add an icon next to the drivers name to know who to mute rather than muting all by random.
  • a simple solution is disabling voice chat because playing at late hours of the night over here is prime noob time you get all these kids spamming feedback into the microphone just get rid of the whole voice chat feature in public games have it strictly for private friend games if you game on pc you should have teamspea or ventrilo anyway atleast add an option do disable it if removing it is too much(but my favorite option)

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for this feedback and for sending your opinions on features in game

    For the moment here is the way to mute Players in Need For Speed Most Wanted:

    You can mute players in Need For Speed Most Wantedby following these steps:

    1. Open EasyDrive
    2. Select Players
    3. Select the player you would like to mute
    4. Select the Mute option.

    Edit: additional information
    Regarding controllers, there is another thread available here, please join the conversation: Controller Support - Joy stick - Wheels

    Thank you.

  • It does not surprise  me one bit  that an "ea rep" does not listen or understand my question/problem. If you had read carefully enough, i had already said,

    "Joining multiplayer and having to individually mute all" and "give the mutliplayer option to "mute all".

    Why should i have to sit there and mute individually and miss the chance to start next race while the xp leechers bash me all over the place for free points while i'm afk to do so ?

    @trickeh2k, thanks for your input, but i fail to see why such an easy "mute all" function is not your choice of  solution, you seem to add complication, not simplify 😉

    I do  use a chat prog, but there are no options to disable voip in the game (not  enough of my friends play NFS  MW so i play public and generally have fun, apart from the hackers, obviously)

    Your "answer" for wheel support is pathetic and an easy to avoid way out, typical of EA. Why not admit you just do not know the solution and pass it on to the devs to look into ?

    However, thank you for answering, within a month for EA is impressive 🙂

    We need a timeline for when this will be addressed. This is a MASSIVE privacy issue, Having ones mic auto broadcast whenever they enter a multiplayer room is unacceptable. 

    Most users are completely unaware the mic they have connected to the PC is broadcasting, Imagine all the sensitive data that should be broadcasted just from people talking in the same room as someone playing the game.

    I've tweeted EA/Criterion, Facebook messaged and origin messaged to multiple people connected with this game about this issue, You guy are obviously not talking about this much and this is unacceptable.

    I organize and manage multiple online gaming communities totaling about 300k gamers, I am preparing to black out our community unless we hear of a coming fix. 

  • If you are also disliking the total lack of Force Feedback, please also mention it on the EA forum. I use a similar setup on the PC with my Logitech Driving Force GT, and compared to Burnout Paradise & Dirt3 the Force Feedback is a JOKE on NFS Most Wanted 2012. To get this issue reported check out my post on the EA forum: >> http://answers.ea.com/t5/Need-for-Speed-Most-Wanted/Missing-Force-Feedback-settings-so-NO-feel-of-oversteer/m-p/293976/highlight/true#M3282

    Just to get this issue bundled under one central subject. To get it into EA's head to update the game for Force Feedback, is not a known issue at EA now. Even though when you Google, "Need for speed most wanted 2012 force feedback" you get a lot of hits of angry customers who are very dissapointed in the release due to the missing Force Feedback.

    If EA / Criterion doesn't solve this, it's no EA / Criterion game for me anymore. At least, if there isn't a demo to be tested first. Wich seems to become a rarity too today. No way to test BAD PORTS to PC, bad development in my eyes.

    How about enabling voice chat in a privates friends match? I havent played the game in a while due to this issue.

    My mic works fine in public match but everyone is auto-muted permanently in a private match. Why? This happens to me and the 5 friends I have that play this game too. Is it ever going to be fixed??
