Since the release of Unbound, a small group has been recording feedback from the community. After the recent patch, the group has seen the community lose faith in EA as we repeat through title release cycles for NFS. The attached document goes through everything we have recorded.Please feel free to comment anything we have missed. I will be responding to messages.

@Desper934 then you can play Forza Horizon! Need for Speed without Traffic or Cops is not a NEED FOR SPEED!

Hi @RainRunnerCZ Thanks for the feedback. You are able to change car at any meetup by entering, selecting car then backing out. While not the cleanest method, it does work.I find using my lower teir cars first in the day/night helps with this as well.

@HeadlesssApe Hi, I must say that you have done great job with that document. I don't know if it will be somehow considered by Criterion or EA, but still it is great that someone cares.I didn't read the whole text perfectly, but if I can add some of my opinion here...One is to change or add possibility of swap cars during free roam. Now you always have latest race car, when back to free roam and if I am correct there is no way to swap cars during day/night without losing progress and not finished races. At this moment you can easily end up with car for drifting in cop chase, what is not ideal, right? So free roam car and race cars should be separated. For free roam and getting heat I would like to use different cars and setups, then in races.

Good job with the feeback. I dont want cops in multiplayer and I want traffic removed in multiplayer. If you have close race of 4 cars then everytime one of them get crashed into trafic there is no way to avoid sometimes. The traffic is so unfair. Not to mention the desync when one has traffic on screen and others dont. Anyway I doubt that the team will be able to fix half of the things you wrote. Did you see what they did in 2 months? Not even fixing 2 cars. My expectetions are really low.

Starting to get more interesting feedback after posting this document - so I will add them here:- Having the track map/layouts visible at the start of a playlist while in the car selection menu would allow players to pick the right car for the playlist. This could be the same UI that is shown when selecting the playlist from the Meetup or in the Map.

@HeadlesssApe
wow, well written, but it will always only be a small group that finds bugs in the game and writes here in the forum. Most of it just races in the game or the story and doesn't do anything else. It will always be like that, whether here in NFS Unbound or in other games.

@Desper934 You need to play fh5 if you want no cops. This is the same that made hot pursuit. Cops the should be in all aspects of the game

@COMEGITDISWERK Nah I played all NFS from first, NFS dont need cops in multiplayer, you race against ppl, why would you want random cops ramming you and and ruin your race? The traffic is also very unfair in multiplayer.
