Origin friends not showing up in game?

I thought I was the only Idiot with this issue. Appernetly not!! Nor am I an idiot.  Myself and a few friends have the same issue.  Only ONE friend /shows on the list and out of SIX friends only 2  show up on the billboards and speed cameras. We have tried everything. Changing orgin names, reg on the nfs site, re-installing. 

Any solution on this yet?

its just one of those things we're gonna have to wait out

It all comes down to ORIGIN and not NFSMW. I do think that your "name" has something to do with it. Myself and some friends changed our names in Origin. It was HALLO---DARKNESS and then I changed it to lxXDARKNESSXxl. BUT on my friends list it continued showing "HALLO---DARKNESS".  So I took the initiative to rename myself again and change it back to the original name. It seems to be working for some of my friends. I can only confirm it later tonight. Try it and let me know if you have changed your names since origin started.? 😕mileyfrustrated:

You're completely right, that's Origin's fault. Different game localizations have different gameID's, hence game has problems with figuring out which friends to add. Funny enough, you can see all of your friends at several menus, i.e. when you create a friend only game, all your friends will be available on invite list, but not when you're freeriding alone.

None of my friends are on my most wanted list, (in game or online) but they are contribute to recommendations, billboards, etc.

Check this, might help you. http://answers.ea.com/t5/Need-for-Speed-Most-Wanted/Found-a-solution-to-friends-not-showing-up-on-Origin/td-p/198302/jump-to/first-unread-message
