Re: Impossible to get gold on all Prestige events!!!

1.Topic was created in the same day when DLC came out. Brings a lot bugs and difficulty is insane, mostly depend from luck not skill

2.Instead fix this, focus that something is wrong You decided wrote big announced about experience in this game and do New Need For Speed, left support this game.

3. You got soluton about this and we got answer about this...maybe change in the future. Solution You got before You announced that game will be no longer support.

4.Currently 95% players got troubles with this, frame decrease,sometimes cars don't steer properly,spawn traffic and behaviour isn't normal.

5.The hottest topic was mark as solved when problem this is exist and nothing was solved.

6.We wrote this even on forum Need For Speed, Twitter (few players wrote) and we didn't got answer.

7.Our behaviour was a lot fair even after announced not support game we still write in this topic that is problem, and wanted only patch with a lower requirements who will be equal and compare with behaviour AI like is at the moment.

My behaviour is still fair because I really don't want do this. Really just want fix this. But this seems like we can say You do nothing. Sorry but Your actions told me this very clearly so what i have choice? Tell me. I don't have any choice than write to our companies. Never should be situation that our last line is write to Sony and Xbox about delete trophies/achievement because You don't want hear us. NEVER!!!!

Zera

Zera don't worry about justifying your feelings about this DLC. It's widespread now that this DLC is awful everyone hates it, nobody can do it, and everyone (still) agrees this NFS is garbage and the DLC made it worse...someone made a good point before...EA-TOM marks the thread solved, he hasn't even played the DLC, therefore is not qualified to deal with our issues.

EA-Tom do us a favor.....go play it, or send someone here with authority, and the ability to actually do something, I appreciate you're just the go between, but marking this as solved just makes you look silly,

Anyways, we have more good news to look forward to yet, it's only a matter of time before EA close the NFS2015 servers, and slap us in the face even more.

Possibly the worst developer I have had to deal with in 30+ years of gaming, every other dev I have spoken to has fixed or sorted their issues out, or communicated with me...EA really are monkeys grinding a wheel of stupidity.

Hey EA....do you remember when you used to make GOOD GAMES?????....NO??......nah, neither do we.

8 hours of try hard in the first spike race and my best is 1.40.01, i stop this * game... Thanks to EA for this bronze trophy ><

Hi guys, 

this post is going to be a little different to the rest. I dont know if someone of you already know what im going to say but i figured it out yesterday and has since helped me greatly in the performance and control of the Porsche RSR. At least the control and handling is not random and very stable and reliable. 

I will list the settings below but the key was setting up the car with neither grip nor drift tires. I equipped STOCK tires and the handling became reliable and the car actually does what it is told to do !!! I got 2 golds yesterday in a matter of 1 hr where as before it took like 3 hrs to just get one. 

the following is the setup i use;

Front pressure -2

Rear Pressure -3

third option -5 (fast) 

range -5 (wide) 

Drift assist ON

Stability ON 

Launch Control ON 

Differential +5 (Open)

Aerodynamic +5

Brake Force -5

Brake bias -5 (Front) 

next option -5

Handbrake +3

Next option +3 

Next option -5

Nitrous -5 (power) 

The above and STOCK tires made my RSR obey every input and control i gave it. If im going top speed and press any direction the car sticks to the ground and turns; if the turn is tighter all i need to do is tap once the brake and it will go into a nice controlled drift. (the more pressure pressing the brake button the tighter you can turn but you will lose speed.) you do not need to press it a lot. most of the time all you need to do is tap it once. 

Try it out guys it really helped me out in the way the car handles at least it removes the randomness of how the car behaves. I hope this will help out at least someone else as at least if we are faced with this stupidity of a DLC we can maybe help out eachother as much as possible to get this done. 

Regards, 

Matthew 

Right now I managed 16/41 gold but this is depended a lot from luck because traffic and behaviour AI isn't normal.

Look at this movie. I trieed a lot hours and when finally was able drive fast truck stopped me and have to sacriface additional hour to do this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6POX5MXXL8

I dont know that I am able do this but tried very hard. 3 weeks spend for trying do this and got message from few guys how i did this. I sent them my setting and still can't do this. Many people lost few years hard work and what can say? Hey dude You have to practice because this is attainable but I personally think that 95% players can't do this. Give You example this race i tried 7 days. 7!!!Mate who write here trying right now over 7 days over!!!This isn't normal that have to repeat somethin 100 times because traffic, sometimes steering isn't good because of a little lag and have to admit that time also stop few milisecond later or cost 1-1,5 second.

Here is a example 5 race who raced in 7 days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcYnwzfe1U0

Here is a race when got lags but this isn't normal because got 60 mb/s and in others game working properly. Also please admit how many clock add. Crossed line with 2:05:80 got 2:07:03. This depend from luck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFdV85-ts4I

Right now I don't have lag like earlier maybe less people play and servers EA are good but still is sometimes problem with this.

Result

I used anothers setting who suit for my style.But if do this trophy still wil think what I think that requirement gold should be change like one guy said because cost a lot nerves stress who don't necessary during working for this trophy. This isn't normal situation. What a pleasure is doing something hard what is in my opinion stupidly hard and mostly depend from luck. Wrote this guy who did achievement in Xbox. 

Zera

I can talk with developer and talk our arguments and he can say me his arguments and i am 100% sure that we can find faster agreement instead write here. I can be responsible for this if something will be wrong. Alll can blame me, hate me. But I think that i have a lot experience in hard games and can told what depends from luck or not. 

@lucksi4711

From what I recall the post where I state that I didn't play the DLC was made by me when it was just released.

@IIKazzII

As you can see from my reply to lucksi4711, I did play the DLC. Just not immediately when it came out.. (I was lurking on these forums).

There is also no need to worry about the game servers going offline any time soon. For example: Need for Speed Carbon (game came out in 2006) is still online. If a game has an active community we won't suddenly take it down. Full information on this can be found on our Service Updates page.

Lastly, the discussion would be a lot more constructive if we keep it to the actual game and the DLC.

@MaltaGam3r

Great post. Thank you for your input! I hope it helps other players to get their gold.

@Zerathel

That is good and constructive feedback that we can work with. Thank you for sharing.

@Straatford87

I would like talk with developer and explain what is wrong and what should be change I would take this possibility to find agreement with Prestige Mode. Is this possible?

@Zerathel

I won't be able to put you directly in contact with the developers. However, I do forward all feedback that is posted on this forum.

Do note that the official Need for Speed forums have recently opened. Developers do sometimes look for user feedback on those forums so it would not hurt to share your feedback there as well.

@Straatford87

I would like know that they know about issue and what will do with this issue?

I think that add 10 second to each race because 15 will be too much and be a lot easier and reduce drift score hmm about 150k. One race required 135k so best option will be reduce 35k? For me those requirements will be fair because is chance to do a little mistake who is not our faulr but bugs in this game. Also 700k in Gymkhana still be a lot hard. We will sacriface a lot hours to practice so still Prestige Mode will be hard but will be also enjoyable because will be decide right now only skill. Icluding Dream Team when time currently moments is 7:45 and will be 7:55. I think that this will be fair and average players got also chance do this

@Straatford87

You can test this because if You played this dlc You will got full-screen situation about this solution or just reduce less if You think that this be too easy This the simplest solution doesnt make sense sacrifica more time to fix bugs when the shorter time takes add additional time and reduce drift score

Zera

They either need to make it so the trophy is getting a silver in every event  or to add 10 seconds to every race and even 20 seconds on some races. For the drifting ones the scores need to be nerfed a bit because I know 750,000 on a touge event is possible from watching videos, but it is only possible by the very skilled players or the extremely lucky. I mean just send all of our suggestions to the development team already. If they are this lazy about fixing an update they put out a month ago then EA seriously needs to hire a whole new team and if they are not lazy then I have never seen more elitist * in my entire life!!! Hope you fix your mistake.

@Straatford87

Please listen to this and please help me. I have been playing hours on end and have been getting golds I'm more than half way through. Yesterday I took about 3 hrs doing Lock it Down event and found it really hard but ended up doing it gold and got a score of 483,073 and gold req is 480,000 but the game did not give me gold and gave me only silver !!!!

PLEASE HELP I don't want to try the event again please ! can you arrange it for me ???? I have pictures as proof and you can also go on server scores and see for yourself

Wow! You reached the gold requirement and ended up with a silver??? How unlikely on such a well done, well tested, good game like this one!!!

FIX YOUR GAME!!

Here is an example of a company that listens to the players and does a wonderful job.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6skYgBkMfV4

On the other side, we have EA.

THIS IS PRESTIGE BUGS RIGHT NOW NOT PRESTIGE MODE!!!

I never see in my life in franchise game a lot bugs than this game...Is this is still franchise game?Still?So this is 3 need for speed with a lot bugs. Great job really. Last race red (I am a law) there is a lot mistake my god who did this without testing? This is good example how not should do game really. Physics, frame rate decrease and lags got in few second.

Zera

P.S

If you did last DLC who ruin pleasure playing game in 3 months I am afraid that "Perfect NFS 2017" can be....Finish Yourself really consider this because if someone has 3 months and doing basic and horiible mistakes You think that another game can repair reputation and gain more customers?Really? I want to see this. Aha tomorrow will be NBA2k16 in playstation plus. I download every game except Your game. You know why. This should be fixed 2 weeks ago you know this? 2 WEEKS AGO!!!!!!!

I dont know what wrong with You but when topic got more 10 pages (got 20 pages now) and You do nothing is ok behaviour for customers who bought Your game?It was last need for speed i dont need your game and this behaviour what was presents. We got choice and chosse another stuido who listen players. Listen!!!Not only read. Got solution got everything and still nothing. My god never spotted in my whole life with this.

Yeah they don't care about their customers at all obviously. I got 27 gold medals as of right now, but guess what that doesn't mean that your dlc is ok the way it is. The trophy list is going way over the top for the casual players that bought this game. I am another person that bought every need for speed game up until pro street because carbon was the last good need for speed that was ever made. I personally hate gran turismo and driveclub because they try too hard to be like real life racing and end up not being like real life racing at all. Then I bought this need for speed to give the studio a chance again and it was a great game in my opinion until this final dlc and because of them not fixing this dlc will be the reason I never buy another need for speed game again and don't think that you can win me back by updating the game six months from now because it will be too late. This issue could have been fixed easily three weeks ago, but you guys did absolutely nothing about it and lost tons of customers because of it, but you will find out when the next need for speed comes out and you have half as many purchases. Seriously just fix the freaking issue already and be done with it.

EA, how long are you going to ignore all of these pepoles' complaints ?

Are you just going to wait, until everybody has given up ? Really EA ? Is THAT customer support ?

I have never been a fan of your games, never bought any of your games because of your bad reputation, but I gave NFS a try.

And THAT was a BIG mistake. I lost 3 years of a clean 100% psn-profile, and I'm  not the only one. There are others with 5, 6 and more years lost.

What is wrong with you people ? Did you do this on purpose ? I really like hard challenges, I'm also wiling to repeat missions/races 100 times in other videogames, WHEN the objectives/times ARE REALISTIC !!!

You MUST HAVE KNOWN, that only a small number of people would get these trophies, your so called "pro racers". But what about the completionists, that gave your game a chance, because the trophy list looked doable ? What about the casual gamers, that are frustrated right now, because they will NEVER get these trophies ?

And even if you didn't know it in the beginning, we are on PAGE 21, goddamnit ! 21 pages full of complaints, bug reports, proofs of broken update and so on.....

You really don't want to change it ? Oh, excuse me, i forgot: you're leaving an "open door". 

I think (and others will agree with me) that you'll close that door very soon. Like I said, when people give up, becuase they got tired of posting about  your broken, halb-baked update.

Thanks EA, that was my first and last game. No wonder you have been chosen the worst company in america two times in a row.

Oh, and don't forget:      MOUTH PROPAGANDA IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ADVERTISING

Hello EA_TOM,

I think I have a stupid nick but for sure you beat me here. I want to congratulate your company. Not a lot of game developers can afford to neglect the gamer's needs and to behave so arrogant with their customers. I guess you have a very nice profit since you really don't care about the people who make your profit actually.

As a lot of people say your game is no longer fun. What you have done with the gold medals is let's say f*cking up the whole game. Don't worry NFS was not something special at all on first place but for sure now is no fun at all. Yes if you ask I like keeping my games to 100% with the trophies. That's why I bought your cheap way to stick your fans to NFS with this gold medals. I have a plat on dirt rally which is very hard game. Yes you are right it is a simulator. Your game is not simulator if you haven't realized that. You cannot ask your players to achieve this scores in such unrealistic game as yours. I will continue to play till I get all of the gold medals somehow...And this will be the last NFS I will ever buy. Years ago I stopped buying FIFA for similar reason. If more players do the same as me I think you might have less profit and finally start listening to your customers.

The last thing as a free advise to you. Being so arrogant won't help you in the future. Believe me.

Mike i will be honest with You. If they don't fix this and i am 100% that this not happen they can start later listening customer but will be too late because no one will believe and forget this behaviour. Because we bought this game right now and after 6 months maybe more but less than year they stopped support. Who want see newest game like NFS, BF MEC (Mirrors Edge Catalyst )after this? Tell me who?No one and will be worst because like i said people will be remember this behaviour and this time advertisment like EA starting listening customers like was few years earlier don't convince customers. Because was the same situation earlier with NFS. Sad but true and this is fact. 

Besides why people starting turn against NFS?I will tell you this is simple because are guys from Ghost Studio who did Need For Speed like Undercover, The run and Rivals. Who played know what those game represents. Nothing. They can't compare with others NFS because this is offence for olders and greatest NFS who played in my life. Last good NFS was Most Wanted but multi wasn't good but at least campaign was good, really good. Tell me what is good in this NFS?Story - this game never needed story, beside is poor really poor this is was only waste money in my opinion but ok we got. Connection with game is poor who got idea that need internet to single player this is another stupid idea but got ok. But i don't see any reason why this should have online, behaviour AI this is river really because never saw that stupid behaviour especially on drifts events, car spawn another river sometimes respawn one second from You, about bugs or lags dont tell because all know this. 

The best Need for Speed in my opinion was Need For Speed Hot Porsuit on PS3. For me this was something fresh, new and wanted play online 6 months after platinium where got a lot fun but all was great, gameplay,mission idea and map. This was the best NFS who played 🙂

Gonna do this like many people. Just want finish this somehow but don't know how much time i have to spend because like wrote above pretending me from this trophy and want say good bye one of the greatest series who was always in my life. Only dont play two NFS because players warning me that not worth buy and play.

Zera

P.S

They should have medal really because this first time when someone ruin pleasure playing games because who try do this feel only frustration and never even imagine that this is possible but how we see is possible.I don't know really don't know how people got more time to do last update game and ruin every hard work in every NFS was realised except 3 like wrote above and others games from EA studio that people starting turn against this company. Another think is really suprising EA behaviour because instead talk with studio or doing something with this mess they are silence which means that they defend studio who really screw job. But maybe they realised later but like I said will be too late. Why i wrote that will be too late?Because never in my life got a lot messages about bad opinions about behavior, game etc. Really

Zerathel, I hate to say it but you are 100% right my friend. This arrogant guys will not change anything. Like I said I'm not one of the wise guys that are just complaining but what EA did this time was really too much. This will be my last NFS. I haven't missed a single game since the first came out in 1994 I think. This will be my last one for sure. I really hate to say that this historical game was ruined through the years and now thanks to the GHOST studio the game is really dead now. I stopped buying FIFA 10 years ago now I will stop buying NFS. Don't worry Ghost Studios there are a lot of games on the market.

Specially writing to the guy with the awesome nick EA-Tom. How can you mark the thread as solved when you haven't solved anything. The people who want this stupid bronze trophy still cannot get it. You are just ridiculous. You game is NOT SIMULATOR. I will give you a simple comparison. Dirt Rally is SIMULATOR. There is really everything about mastering the corners with the proper speed (just for you to know proper speed doesn't mean drifting with 250 km/h in one lane like in your game). For what mastering are we speaking in NFS. I'm now playing touge event where additional to the buggy traffic, 7 more idiots are bumping and hitting me. The EA-Tom guy will probably say that I'm not maintaining enough speed. Well sometimes I really mess up on some corners but even tough the opponents cannot catch up. Sometimes I'm making perfect drifts in the turns and nevertheless the opponents are behind me and start bumping me. So again here we are speaking only about luck. It's not mastering the corners with drift believe me. So as a bottom line I have to do 27 more frustrating races to get a *ty bronze trophy (somehow after a lot of anger and frustration I got 13).  Also tried with my Logitech G29. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever done on my console, because one more time this game is NOT SIMULATOR.

@EA-Tom again: If you don't make the difference between SIMULATOR and ARCADE racing game don't hesitate to contact me. I will be glad to explain it to you.

The best part is that they showed Yourself how buggy is this game really 🙂 This is ironic no one saw those bugs until was released update with gold medals. This is Fail in this year 🙂 Instead doing something a little easy or easier and hide somehow bugs they discovered all bugs in this game. We even didn't  search those bugs 🙂 This is solid proof how this was tested 🙂 Sorry wasn't even 🙂

Zera

Explain someone from EA how this is possible that IIkazzlII got 105 xp reputation and now got 87? D I see that something is missing check this thread everyday

First of all I wanna take a minute to thanlk Zerathel, you are my friend the voice of the peoples. Everytime I come over there, you say exactly what I had in mind. What is your PSN ? lol. Also, I wanna thank EA, for turning at least 100K fans against them. I always believed that Activision were the bad guys, but never in a million years they woulda done what you guys have done. With that being said, just know one thing EA and EA_Tom since apparently you report every feedback to the team... Let's see it that way. Just the fact that there is 21 pages of peoples complaining shows how much we care about this game. Since you've made this game for us, I would like to ask you, repair it, for us. We only want the Prestige Challenges time to be fair because just the Bronze time is more than enough for us. Just the bronze medals made the game too hard for most of us, and even if some peoples have 20-30-40, all medals, I work 42 hours a week... It is never going to be possible for me, a casual gamer. I understand you need to put the time in, but you also gotta take into consideration the world in which your game takes place. It is not a Forza game we talking here, nor a Grand Turismo... it's a urban city, full of cars, cops, and trucks... How do expect us to even put that aside while we driving super fast ?. Just think about it. And once again, thanks EA_Tom for monetoring all feedbacks. I hope EA will understand our concerns, and do the right thing, for the fans. 

I would like see proof that our feedback was direct to EA Ghost studio.

Is this possible Tom? Because i afraid that nothing was direct to EA/Ghost. Also did You tested solution what I proposed? Enough time was to test time in speed event and drift event because only one needed to check this.

Zera

P.S

Thank You for kinds words. I just write what average player think about this situation because i am the same situation like You and others. My psn is the same like this nick 🙂
