Playing online, every day I notice at least one cheater in the host (there may be three of them). They drive very fast, in case of an accident they continue to drive as fast, sometimes they don’t worry so much that they arrive at the finish line thirty or twenty seconds earlier and the other players simply don’t have time to get there and there are a lot of such situations !!! Every day!!! You can report only for insults, name and banners, but not for cheats, there is simply no such function. I have no desire to play this slag every day, the Story modet is grinding boring *, so EA also left the online mode, no events, nothing, but there are three cheaters per host.

@Cashqdie Thank you for not naming any player you suspect may be cheating, this is called "Naming and Shaming" and is not allowed on Answers HQ.If you suspect a player may be playing unfairly you can use the steps detailed at the following link to report them. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/Thanks.

For this reason I deactivated crossplay, because most cheaters come from the PC, and not so many on PS5. But also there. I've gotten used to the speed, but the accidents * me off, they cause an accident and drive on as if they hadn't had an accident. So if you don't randomly play PC, disable crossplay and there will be fewer cheaters. I've already noted a lot of names, but I'm old school, so they usually handle things differently and don't tell anyone. If I see them in the list, I'll leave the list, and I don't have to fret. Try it and keep enjoying the game.

Unfortunately I play on PC, so there is no choice to fight the cheaters, and I really appreciate this new format of nfs online, this mode has potential, so I don’t want that last cool thing of nfs unbound turn into trash because EA don’t care

@CashqdieIts pretty normal that if you are new you will loose to better players with better cars even by 30 seconds. Why do you think they cheat? Do you think your are best in the world and noone cant be better so they must cheat?

Post some screenshots of lap time results and I can tell you if they cheat or not. Its 99% of the time is the car, becouse car performence can be huge difference.
Altough I know ppl cheat with money.

The problem in this game is only unbalance! Some Engine Types are complett broken!
All Cars they use this broken engines they are complett OP. They dont cheat they use only the broke Car mechanics with the engines.....
Like VW Golf GTI with V8 Egine or Nissan Skyline KPC10 with V6 Engine.

@MarkphytonThere will be allways meta cars but devs should try to make more of them. In S tier there are two best cars so you can forget anything else, all the nice lambos just bad, mercedes just bad, bmw just mediocre and so on. So many cars and majority are useless. Its a shame.

A tier is like most balanced
B tier everyone hate on Pista but it cost like 800k to build its not cheap but I hate it has awfull engine sound at max speed.
If they remove Pista then next will be RSR which is like Pista little slower twin, then Acura NSX, then R34, then Porsche GTS those cars just slays in B tier so they would have to remove plenty of cars and there will always be one which is best.

S tier is F40 and old Skyline nothing else which is sad
S+ Regera and nothing else, the nerf did basicaly nothing

They need to buff plenty of cars

I heard this was like first EA balancing patch ever, they never balance cars, they have RSR as meta in Heat for years without fix.
But agree that Pista is just evil especially for new players, I started to play multiplayer a month ago and I enjoyed tight battles with my S2000, at that time there was no Pistas yet. Nowdays its different story. When I see Pista in lobby I have to take it as well. Here are just two recent screenshots, you really dont want 4 Pistas in race as a newbie or any of them. I like my S2000 which is off meta but I take if there are no meta cars.

First of all, I am not a new player, I pre-ordered this game and I've been playing since this game came out, so from the beginning all the wins and losses seemed normal, it's okay to lose and I understand it, but not when the first generation Volkswagen Golf in S+ rank crashes at high speed from the start and continues to go. You can also see proof of cheaters in NFS Unbound on YouTube. Cheaters continue to drive at the same speed during an accident, they have infinite nitro, sometimes because of this very funny animations are constantly shown, cheaters are not difficult to detect, at least because of the difference in 1600 feet in the distance from all other cars, when no one crashed and that's it also drive fast.

Unfortunately, I am not talking about balance, u always can handling or tuning in some ways to make your car even morefaster, and if u lose to meta cars it’s okay, patches with balancing always come out, but I am talking about the real cheaters, of which there are many! And there are more of them!! I can even write their nicknames which I have personally seen, but EA policy forbids writing player names. There is no anti-cheat in the game, you cannot directly report a player for cheating, it is obvious that there will only be more cheaters.

who do you take me for? It's clear that my car is upgraded to the maximum for the rank, like the rest of the players. I will give you the best example which I have because I don't have many screenshots of cheaters, I hope it will not be removed because of the nickname of the players. I never crashed in that race, my car was upgraded on maximum for the rank, I went fast, but the difference from first place was always 1500-2000 feet.
