Re: Shifting in need for speed most wanted 2012

This is really making me rage... The reply "missing a gear during an epic chase could be costly" is sooo out of order... In the old MW you could actually shift yourself, which made it awesome as hell. Ofcourse missing out a gear is horrible but thats a part of the thrill!

Thinking out of the box is rather hard isnt it? stick with the burnout mechs and not go with shifting because hey... we didnt do our homework?

Im prolly raging at someone who cant do much about it tho, but its been like this for the last couple of games now... I bought hot pursuit cause i am used to shifting in nfs... i played it for 22 min and then never looked back at the game for the same reason. And that reason is now also stopping me to buy Most Wanted. Just add in a little feature that makes "a lot" of ppl happy... also makes a lot more revenues too. Ppl that dont want to use the manual shift because its too "costly" dont have to touch the setting, but please let ppl decide for their own wether or not that is "costly"

NFS MW isn't realistic, so why would you have manual gearing? Go play a racing sim, MW is an arcade racing game, if you want to simulate a gear change, release the throttle before the driver shifts up or down.

yep what a rubbish answer. Tons of people find it FUN to use manual transmission and realism has nothing to do with it. F!^$ng anoying that it hasnt been included as i just bought a logitech G27. Mother F******... ARGHG!!!  (yes i am frustrated)

Lame. i just bought bought it and downloaded it and now i wish i hadnt, im not five, i can shift on my own

For toddlers and infants yes. And, by the way Midnight Club which was made in 2009 has a manual transmission mode. How could you guys let MidClub take the cake? It completely defeats the purpose of having a Porche if its going to be automatic. Might as well put the car in cruise control. Oh gee how action packed. Whats next autopilot? How could you put in all the effort to graph out the city and create beautiful graphics but insist on making the driving so mundane? The whole point is to build upon what you already have, not to take away from a prexisting working system. If you wanted to make the game more user friendly you could have set the transmission to automatic mode for default and then allow customers to change the option to manual if they chose. It's like playing UFC 4 with Jon Jones instead the developers disabled you to throw elbows in fear of him missing and receiving a broken nose. Back to the sponge bob squarepants pile for you. Let me guess the next installment will have cars with bumpers. I think  you guys should talk to Microsoft about creating an operating system that forbids the using of the space key as well. I understand the difference between driving simulaters and arcade games but I also know the difference between gameplay and gimmicks. I want my money back.    

EXACTLY!  "we didnt add manual shifting cuz its hard, and you might mess up! we want to make the game as easy, and BORING as possible." way to go, again. its not like this feature isnt already available in other NFS titles, it could be as simple as copy and paste some code and reuse material from another title... thats never been done before  /facepalm.

The Need for speed series were great just about the second you removed the manual gearbox option. This is why I have not bought any NFS game since the first NFS game without. The only reason I ever tried this game was because it was "on the house" but I was let down again as there are no manual gear box option.

You should learn from the WRC game series. Great experience when it comes to difficulty and these will be my preferred games until you get back to your roots.

All you are left with in NFS is: Yay, I pushed a button! Yay!
