NFS Payback Freeroam

Ok so honestly i think everyone is upset about the free roam being so lame. I bought this game for the sole purpose of playing online with other friends in free roam lobbies why would they ever change that,
Plzzzzz EA and Ghost bring back the good free roam, honestly makes me not wanna even play anymore

  • yup finished story mode grinded money to buy all most expensive cars and few others just for my own amusment  now nothing left to do lol speedlists are not worth anyones time they are boring and whith car collision on is impossible to have a skilled race everyone is just crashing against each other + no point payng for this game if its offline works just as good as if u download it from a random torrent lol. 8 people offline LAN lobbys is no where near the freeroam... 

    +theres no online drift or drag lmao

  • they told us better cop chases , but there are no cops in free roam and the missions from story are no cop chases but just some easy races to a finish line .

    Online mode of this game is so bad its very generous IGN even gave this a 5.9 to be honest story offline mode deserves like a 8.0  

    but the Online part the only part that matters cuz story mode can be done in 1 day

     Online mode deserves about a 2.0 the  resets when your car crashes because some random guy rammed you off the road are the worst of any racing game multiple times I was in the first guy rammed me off the road car resets and puts me right in between 2 trees and a rock on the side so now I'm stuck most of the times i didn't even need a reset and it reset me anyway .

    there is no online drift or drag only racing and offroad that feels just like drift for some reason

    -speedlists are as bugged as they can get

    -there no online free roam

    -there no cops

    -the ranking systeam is based on who can ram more people off the road 

    -the checkpoints you have to pass by are way too small

    -lobbys are starting to take alot of time to fill up meaning alot of people are leaving the game or just playng the offline stuff becouse online stuff was active first few days till people realized was badly optimized for multiplayer.

     -does the voting for the maps even work?

    -wheres the drift and drag multiplayer?

     and my last question is the game still in beta? cuz it looks like it?

    Kids please, stop to mentionate ign like a great reviewer because this is false and you are easily manipulated.

  • Yh.... multiplayer is a real let down, no innovation just race and off road events that hold my intetest for half an hour at most. I'm really disappointed as i bought this game thinking the multiplayer would keep me going for a while. You can't even join ranked with friends..... for me online gaming is a social activity so ranked is pointless for me.

    To be fair, the story mode was fun but way too short.

    And as a further slap in the face the delux edition is now half price.... i paid the full amount a week ago.

    I was hoping this game would be as good as hot pursuit 2010 which i played for two years but not a chance ☹️(((
  • @Sorum13 At the moment I dont see anything incorrect in their review, everything is as it is.. this game is a failure,.. the only good thing about it is the short story line, the map, the cars and the decent enough graphics. The multiplayer is terrible, the car tuning system is terrible(* slot machine simulator), in game miscrotransaction pay to win options, bugged speedlists and the lie that we have all been told before the game was released about the game having free roam. So from my point of view, and many others, IGN correctly reviewed the game, and TBH Id even give it a lower rating.

    And its gone 8 days since the game released, with a bunch of bugs, bunch of cars from the car list still not add, wrap bugs, race track bugs (like the ones you meet around some race tracks where you get thrown in the air), speed lists bugs and so on.. Everything has already been discussed and pointed out on there forums, but we havent got any answer or any movement from the development team.. instead we get disrespectful silence, which leaves me thinking they just dont give a crp.

    And a little reminder of that lie that we were told before release -

    Multiplayer

    Hit the streets and race to win. Take on challengers from all around the world as you compete to be the best.

    Compete in Speedlists, which are free events against friends, or challenge other players in Free Roam. There are two types of Speedlists:

    • Casual: Casual Speedlists are 5-event tournaments. The best player is crowned at the end.
    • Ranked: Ranked Speedlists track the performance of each player on a competitive ranking system."

    This is correct? Where is the criterion? Shame of ign, game$top and others.
