Lockdown - This needs to change!
Dear Criterion, Volume 9 of NFS Unbound is pretty good, and the Lockdown mode in general is a good idea. However, there are A LOT of things that disrupt gameplay completely, and those things need t...

If there's genuily one thing that need to change is the order to get to the lockdown world.
Right now we have:
Lockdown
-Find Game *press button*
-Waiting for public teamates to join
-Starting Session
-Get a FRUSTRATINGLY LONG LOAD SCREEN
-You get to the car selection screen... WITH 00:00 SECONDS LEFT to pick a car
-You couldn't pick a car and end up with some garbage you wouldn't have picked while you're S+
(What is above has happen COUNTLESS times which make me want to close the game but oh wait I CAN'T else i loose my streak, i have multiple bikes which i don't get to use because of this crap)
What we need to have:
Lockdown
-Find Game *press button*
(order from here can shuffle from what EA would prefer)
-Waiting for public teamates to join
-Give us actual, consistent 30 seconds to pick a car
(Or mix the waiting for players & Pick car that way while we wait for teamate we can already work on picking a car)
(order from here stay the same)
-Session Starting
-Still get frustratingly long load screen but at least i have my car
-Session wait for everyone to load in to world to begin.
what need to change is you , if you want some high stake heist go play a game with high stake heists , this is need for speed , not no need to race and just drive around to collect pretty pixel pictures for useless cars from two decades ago, that entire mode is a waste of space on my PC for bums who should go back to that idiotic GTA
I don't want to play GTA since I don't like Gunplay, and I like car combat
NFS has been in many points in the franchise a car combat series in entries like Rivals, Hot Pursuit, Among others
is it the whole mantra of the series? obviously not, but even before NFS has been regarded as a difficult Arcade Racer and this is throwing a bone to that aspect of the series.
Let people enjoy more action packed stuff as long as it isn't the main mode, which still exists as normal races and PVP are still a thing and this mode doesn't take anything away from that.
If you're not a fan of difficult modes and high stakes and you don't even care for the "Useless Cars" then don't play the mode, fair and simple, not everything needs to cather to you.
If you really just want to drive and that's it, look for other racing games that more driving focused
I feel your pain. Pick your car first from the lockdown menu then start game. Sucks by its a work around.
