I have preordered the game, played the 10 hour trial, loved it... But, I am worried to see that there is much talk around the internet saying that there will be no multiplayer freeroam. That is like massive for me, is there anyway that I, a person which preordered the game, can find out for a fact if there will be multiplayer freeroam. Because if there is not I will be canceling my preorder, in 2017 no multiplayer freeroam just sounds ridiculous, and no matter how good the game is, I dont want it without multiplayer freeroam, so moderators, devs, admins - can you please answer this question for us, as I really doubt Il be able to risk spending my money on such a dissapointment. And I know many will say there is tons of topics like this, but tbh I havnt found one with the answer Im looking for, so I decided to create my own. I will continue my effort of finding out until release.

Yup.... if they don't make an official announcement saying that there will in fact be a Multiplayer Free Roam like in 2015, BEFORE the launch..... me and my friends are also refunding this.What a stupid decision.... whoever let this slide on the development team, needs to be fired. You guys have just pissed off ALOT of your customers and people are leaving left and right. No one could've even expected such a stupid decision, that's why there was so much excitement for Payback. In just this last 24 hours period, the hype has died SO MUCH, and people just want their money back.

I agree with you. Multiplayer feels very empty in my opinion, but no they havn't talked about multiplayer free roam and i don't think they are going to add it

@Sorum13 Dude that looks like a short freeroam lobby before speedlists, its not the free roam that I wanted, a few minutes in freeroam before a speedlist is * tbh, I wanted freeroam like it was nfs 2015.... this doesnt really get my feelings up tbh, but it is something. I do want a solid answer from one of the devs or something, solid facts, so I can be calm and not go getting a refund.

It really looks like that there will be no "true" freeroam like we used to know it from various other games like Rivals or 2015.The only thing is the roaming while waiting for the speedlist. I noticed that there is no traffic and the whole world is just totally empty.a shame, really. I used the 10-Hour Trial to look at exactly these points of the game so i do not waste money and after 2 hours i found out that the removed features from the game that i would have never dreamed of.Till this is added Payback is not going to find its was in my pocket. And it had potential to he the best...but now its just "good".

@Th3_L3g3nd_11 I dont understand why they cant be open about it? Doesnt seem very respectful to the people preordering the game... They obviously know what we want, but they didnt add it. Like why? Too hard? Cost too much? Too much time? Then why let the game out, like it has such good chances to become a really great game if they added proper multiplayer freeroam like there was in NFS World.

So will there be multiplayer freeroam or what?

Hey man, i´ve been seeking for this answer for weeks. My position is same as yours, I can't conceive this game without multiplayer freeroam. In my search I found plenty of different answers throughout the internet. The most convincing answer to my question that I've found is this: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/need-for-speed/need-for-speed-payback/features-and-modes-in-need-for-speed-payback/#onlineplay
Read the online mode paragraph and tell me what do u think.

Just wondering what people think are the odds of them adding free roam into the game as an update with cops as well cause rn the hype train is dying because of it. I was hoping this would be from launch but its kinda BS that people are saying it wont be for the simple reason seeing your friends car and drifting with them in free roam without having to deal with races and just cruising around is fun. Right now the game looks good but seriously come on its an open world game why not have an online free roam its just bull *.
