There is no clear info that is easily available anywhere as to when all the cars will be available, and the timer is utter bullsh!t, I, like many players probably don't play every day after finishing the campaign, so having to load up the game every few days to find out if these cars are there is ridiculous, either do them all at once or have them for sale at like 5 bucks, I am sick of this tactic to get people to play, maybe if you idiots had uncluded a free roam multiplayer alot of us would be playing more regularly, but as it stands once you finish the SP game it has nothing to offer.

Do we really have to tell you to look at their social media pages to tell you that they are including multiplayer freeroam this year? And also, what kind of argument is "they need to stop implementing this stuff to keep people playing", isn't that the idea in the first place? Its a video game that is meant to be played. If you miss the window, thats your fault. They are adding a new element so that way you earn what you get. You do realize that you were forced to play online with other people because of the constant internet connection?

@HEVIHITR You have a week to get the car. If you cant play the game at least once a week, that's on you. I have a full time job and a family so your "I have a life argument" is not valid. I have a life and pick up the controller at least once a week to play the game. If you don't want to play the game get rid of it. Also, I was talking abut your MP free roam complaint that they already said would be released this year. That's what I was referring to social media about. If they want people to play the game, why would they releasing everything at the same time? They are releasing cars once a week to keep people involved and playing. Plus, just like what @master2g said, if you are not playing the game that much, why are you so worried about the cars? I swear, every time EA and Ghost release something people want, people still complain. Its a never ending cycle here and it gets very bothersome.

@XGCSith I can't speak for @HEVIHITR but I think they should not even have went with making them a limited time thing. The RX-7 used to be a normal car you can just unlock by playing the story or just going to the dealership. Now if they plan on recycling these abandoned cars so the RX-7 comes back around in a few weeks then that's cool but if that was my only chance to get it in this game ever then they went with a really bad gaming idea.

@HEVIHITR"There is no clear info that is easily available anywhere as to when all the cars will be available, and the timer is utter bullsh!t"Ok first , That doesn't even make sense , so if you have a timer which clearly shows count down to next car release then how is that not clear ?I mean maybe its just me but when i see the timer counting down I figure its a good bet that something is happening at the end of it .If you like many other players don't play the game much after finishing the campaign whats the big hurry for the cars ? I mean you just said you are not playing much after finishing the campaign so why is a few new cars such a game changers ? What happens next when you get bored of the new cars ?It has a massive map to roam around with tons of events open for replay , 75 cars to customize and DLC to offer after single player.What more do you want .Plenty of clear info available on the internet if you just take 5 minutes look for it instead of demanding some one else to do it for you here. Took me under 5 minutes to find this much info.https://thenobeds.com/2017/12/19/nfs-payback-mazda-rx7-location-guide/https://www.vg247.com/2017/12/19/need-for-speed-payback-abandoned-cars-drip-feed-starts-this-week-plus-steering-wheel-support-and-speedcross-dlc/http://nfs.wikia.com/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Payback/Abandoned_Cars

I don't want to play scripted races, i don't want to only play against others, I want to just hang out sometimes, do stupid sh!t with friends, MP doesn't have to be solely who is the best at this and that, I agree online is bullsh!t, I don't play any MP games for that reason, free roam was different in the last game, you could just drive, no races, no pressure, I vomit when the only online presence of game is that utterly boring PvP, it is boring as hell to me, and to so many others, MP free roam would be simple to implement, it's been done in a thousand other games, I have no idea why EA/Ghost would ever consider releasing a game like this without including a free roam feature, it was the biggest mistake in the game, I hope it's fixed, but I highly doubt it.

@XGCSith that is what I'm thinking will happen, at least that is what I hope will happen. If that was our only chance ever then that's bad game development because cars should not be a limited time, things like special decal or body kits would be better.

@Dark_Crow210 @XGCSith
Yeah i hear you . I am hoping the same. I get the time line thing if it was done to give them time to create each car and all the code for body kits , wheels and everything else related to each car and it isn't the end of the world having to wait for that . Now what i am against is like you guys say , if they don't repeat them or dont do a last complete release once each of them is finished then yeah that would not be good .I thought about them also having to take the extra time for getting the legal BS right for the cars and what they can and cant do with them. Knowing how other companies work i can imagine Ghost has one guy working on that legal stuff and pulling his hair out. Google something like " How do companies get the rights for game cars or something like that and the cr*p that has to be done just to obtain the legal rights to use a car in game as the developers want is just crazy stupid.

Interesting thread. While I agree with most comments, I thought I could help clarify a couple of things. Not having a list of dates is annoying as hell! As a YouTuber, I've literally been logging in every couple of hours just hoping something will pop up... even a release time would do me so that I could just log in to check each day. This really needs to be confirmed!!

The only clues we have are that it is likely that it will be a Tuesday or Wednesday, and the tweet for the 'clue' for the RX7 was sent out at 3pm (GMT)

On a better note, @NeedforSpeed did confirm that all the cars will be released at a later date for everyone to obtain. This was in the comments section on an earlier tweet in reply to.somebody asking if they would be released.

Rumours for free roam indicate heavily, that it will be released before the end of the month, if not by the 17th but these are just rumours, I have no legit confirmation of this.

Please, EA, just give us dates!!

EDIT: Only reason I can check regularly is that I'm a uni student, and we're still on break.

EDIT 2: After searching twitter for the reply regarding all abandoned cars becoming available, it has been removed/deleted by @NeedforSpeed. This could mean that they will not be released...

@HEVIHITR The holidays is not the worse time to release it. As a matter of fact, the ability to get the RX-7 was available for two weeks yet you still were not able to pick up the controller and take 5 minutes to get the car. Thats no ones fault but yours here. Also, they are trying to implement another way to obtain a car. Can it be frustrating with out a set day? Sure but oh well, that's the way it is. Like I said, if you can not pick up the controller once a week to play the game, thats a you issue not an EA or Ghost issue.

For some one who is " so busy" and has a very busy life you have a lot of time to make threats and rant . Do you know how to read a timer ? See it works like this , you set a certain time , lets say 10 minutes for example, then you walk away and then magically in ten minutes that event you set the timer for happens . I can think of a million ways to be ready for the next car. You have a a pc so set your calendar to remind you a day before the set timer is due to run out . Use your mobile phone to remind you when the time runs out.Put all that energy you are wasting on here yelling and screaming into some real effort man. How is this timer thing a hard concept for you or any one else to grab ? I am at a lose to why you guys find this so hard. Yeah it is the not the best deal but nether is a sh*t ton of other things in this world. We are getting free cars , and there is enough info to that gives a fair time line so stop making it sound like you and others are going to flat out die if EA and Ghost doesn't follow your high command. You are lucky i dont work for Ghost because with all this crying and BS going on id just say screw it , no one is getting anything since almost nobody can find some appreciation at all. Jesus it always has to be exactly your type of guys way or nothing at all. Knock it off , we all have a life and we have our hard and good times and we make it work the best we can and deal with it, there is a bigger world out there then just your own little me bubble.

Not to mention they just have to disconnect the internet, change date (22/12/17 as an exemple), go on NFS, grab that car... This works as simple.
Problem solved, feel free to add XP 🙂

Logged in again today no cars, I got the rx7 on the 20th, now what, when is the next car, if it's true that the cars will be released later great, ignore this thread, just wish ea would say that on the nfs page, I don't use Twitter, I only use fb for family stuff, if they can tweet it they can spend the 3 seconds it takes to CMS it on the nfs pages, I have ignored all the * who replied so feel free to ignore me, I don't care what you have to say, stop wasting your time.

This is really starting to take the p155 now. These cars arnt DLC, they were due in the game on launch but EA rushed it out the door AGAIN. Sure they have to make PAID dlc with in 2 months but content thats due in the game? Naaa never mind about that, right EA?
