Need For Speed Heat cheat
I've been playing NFS ever since the very first game was distributed in the 1990's or so. I have a reputation as being known as RusstyRuss when NFSWorld was around in 2012 where I was Admin/Moderator or NFSTimes where we would track world players' records on leaderboards. There were well-known cheat programs back then and we would all pay real money to buy what was other than the in-game cash as a secondary purchasing power under the name of Boost. At some point in 2012 or 2013 ElitePVPers and there was also SandBoxie which allowed you to program automated features and unlimited nitrous and juggernaught plows which allowed cheaters to win that way, and then later they developed a cheat that would allow them to compete between cheaters for who would be fastest at using a "win race" immediate feature which allowed them to win races at 0.0000000000001 seconds before races even started. I participated as an assistant to NFS World Forums' moderators to report such cheaters to be able to allow players to continue to enjoy the game after hearing that many were paying amounts in the 1000's of $ in their accounts and NFSTimes were helping in that way through me to allow to list cheaters every week, I would find lists of players with impossible times and have them banned from the game when finally EA developed a program to ban those cheaters with my lists.
I've played almost every game of NFS since the beginning. That being said, with all the experience I have had through the last 30 or so years, I can confirm that there now seem to be some sort of cheat engine developed for NFS Heat where the fastest vehicle is well-known to be the Porsche RSR. We now have several vehicles that are effortlessly outperforming the RSR such as a Honda Civic the other evening and this evening a Ford GT both were able to overtake me as missiles, just literally flying ahead of me at double my speed and crashing constantly and after I would pass them they would all of a sudden again even though having been able to put almost half a mile to one full mile between us catch up to me and fly right by me like I was riding a bicyble and they were in a rocket.
If EA wishes to let this go on once again, as it went on for more than a full year with NFS World until they decided to close down all servers, hence the entire game was cancelled and disabled even though players had several thousands of $ of real money invested into players online, myself included, we all lost thousands of dollars of playability...I could have continued to play for years, but the cheaters killed the game. Now, although we had only to pay for the program (I use a laptop) or buy the cartridge for whichever console the game could be played on, it would seem that there are a new breed of hackers who have managed to fool the EA programs once again, ten years later.
Will they or EA allow them once again to kill a great game??? EA really need to find a way to stop this.
