Realistic or not, to anyone outside of the US an automatic gearbox is something you try and persuade your grandad to use because he keeps grinding the gears in your car now that his clutch foot is a little shaky. It is something that people use because they have failed their driving test 5 times in a NORMAL car.
Why have such great European cars represented if you are going to mock their very existence by putting an automatic gearbox in them - something they would never even contemplate in reality. Did Ariel really license you using their name and associating it with an idiot box ?
Not havng the manual option has not only stopped me playing NFS MW, it has stopped me buying any future EA 'driving' game - be it realistic or not.
And, by the way, there is no such thing as a realistic computer game - they are GAMES , even the so-called simulator genres.

then the people who will get butt hurt over missing a gear will set it to automatic. seriously most games have both but set auto as the default. its not that hard. i really dont like the fact that you cannot see what gear you are in even if it is an auto. id like that atleast.

Manual gears, don't exist in Arcade Games, even HI and LO, have been eliminated for FORWARD and REVERSE, 🙂
Those were the good old days.- Anonymous13 years agoThe answers here are a joke and totally out of touch with the gaming history. Pretty well every NFS game in the past has had manual gearing. It has nothing to do with realism and everything to do with gameplay and style. Personally I use gear shifting as an alternative to breaking in corners, its not realistic but it sure is a heck of a lot more fun to play! The developers have become lazy and I am truly disappointed with the latest generation of NFS games. These auto only releases fall very short on quality when compared to the epic games like Undercover and Carbon.
