Re: can ı buy need for speed carbon for pc

Need for Speed Carbon is not available at Origin Store anymore. But some retail stores(e.g. amazon.com) still have some used or even new copies.

After you install the CD version, be sure to apply the latest 1.4 patch: http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patches/NFS/carbon/

There are available also the WideScreen Fix, no cd key fix & OnlineEnabler.asi script - google is your friend...

Edit:

@pokamac9 I seams, that the online services are still online! Thanks to@rcgldr for testing that!

The official link for checking if the service has been shut down: http://www.ea.com/1/service-updates 

p.s. Did you know, there is an unofficial NFSW revival project. This is the simplest way to Play Carbon's map* & Tracks!

(*Palmont was also featured in the massively multiplayer online racing game Need for Speed: World, along with Rockport of Most Wanted.)

    Need for Speed Carbon PC servers are still up and running. The daily and weekly leaderboards show activity. If you want to play online, you would need to buy a new copy of NFS Carbon. If you don't care about online play, then a used version is fine.

    update - I just posted some leaderboard entries  for the week starting July 15, 2018, circuit - Beachfront, sprint - Agostini Ave, drift - Billings District, drift challenge, City Courthouse, to confirm that online servers are still running. Some of the online activity appears to be single player events or career mode events, but I do see Canyon stats and those are multiplayer. I'm in a bad time zone (west coast USA) to see other players online, as most appear to be in European time zones.

    Issues  - OXP (online experience points) or downloading another players stats doesn't seem to work very well, somewhat intermittent.
