Multiplayer Free-Roam
I am posting this as both a request to Ghost Games, and a warning to the potential buyers of NFS Payback. Multiplayer free roam is a core element of what made NFS 2015 fun, and what people enjoyed...

Hi, I'm writing to ask if you could add online free roam to Need For Speed Payback. Online free roam is an essential part of racing games nowadays. I don't know why you wouldn't add it. It seemes as if you are going backwards in time and not forward. I found out about this after Pre-Ordering the game and watching a video that Straight Up Hippo had made on this topic. I think that online freeroam is essential for the game. Please take action on this EA and Ghost Games.
I have no idea why they haven't put that in makes absolutely no sense, the crew 2 and fh3 heavily rely on multiplayer, which is direct rivals to this game but this game won't have it? Ridiculous stuff. Needs to be added immediately. Crucial to the success of the game.
- Yeah i haven't enjoyed a need for speed like I'm enjoying this one in ages... BUT without online freeroam it will unfortunately die after a couple weeks of playing 😣
- Yes the game itself is absolutely amazing if it had online freeroam it could have been the best street racing game ever to exist. In my humble opinion. But its not to be, I told my buddy to cancel his preorder and I cancelled mine, both deluxe editions, I'm not going to buy until they add it in, the only way they'll take action is if they lose money.
Yea, I pre-ordered this NFS, the first NFS game in a long time that I actually had high hopes for...... and then I heard about the lack of Online Free Roam..... Do you have any idea how stupid I feel having convinced my friends to get it as well? Well, we're waiting for some kind of official announcement that tells everyone that Online Free Roam is going to be in the game like in 2015..... if this isn't made clear before the launch, we are refunding all our copies.
We're not going to support such a stupid decision. You claim to listen to feedback, and I can't imagine anyone actually wanted you guys to remove such a core element of the game. People endure the single player JUST so they can unlock stuff and then go cruise with people, friends AND random people you meet..... if that's not part of the game... What's the point?
Everyone s ranting and no one knows the answer now EARLY WHERE YOU AT ANSWER THE QUESTION. I wouldnt mind a "we're working on it" BUT NOTHINGNo support her at all from EA at the moment and if you call free roam Lobby cause that's what it is you free roam with max 8 players till lobby ready and that's it
This game is going to die in a months time when everybody that bought the game on release or preordered finished the story mode, yeah we might play a few races in speedlists but that will get really boring without the freeroam, during freeroam we relax between speedlists and that keeps our interest to the game alive. This is going to die, hell do I regret buying this!!!!
And still there is silence... I wonder if they consider us as people atall??? Or are we animals that are milked for money
- They did it because NFS 2015 was heavily criticised for the always online feature. It was one of the most hated features, at least there still is MP. not the end of the world that you can't crash into random people in a free roam setting.
I don't know, different strokes for different folks I guess. Long time fans of the series care more about the single player experience.there shold be no collision in the game betwen online players only against traffic cars would make multiplayer way more enjoyable feels that im in destruction derby and winer is the lucky guy that didnt get rammed off the road before the stupid checkpoints that this game has then you have to turn around to come back and pass by the checkpoint lol checkpoints in racing game....
- I've been playing NFS titles for over a decade and tbh care more about multiplayer than single.
The multiplayer on this game is poor. I have zero interest in driving round with friends just for the sake of it but online free roam would be ok if there is stuff to do.... eg team championships across all types of events or runner events hot pursuit style (a team of 4 racers vs a team of 4 cops).A friend of mine, once told me that R6 was * at the begining, and the game bonified over time, whit more work put on it, it went from bad to what it is now ( I suppose its good enough now, because a lots of people are playing this game). We can't give up, if they are really looking forward to see if something is doable, then go for it and hope that the whole community didn't die waiting !
well that does it for me i was looking forward to this game as a xmas pressy thank u all for the heads up there wont be multi player on this game well i have just saved my self alot of money better look for a different game for xmas
- It’s a really good game and there is a smidge of multiplayer Freeroam in it but it’s connected with the racing aspect.
