nobody races anymore

@wevsky i havent. i just started playing it and got to what I would call the 4th race. the one after you get your 2nd safehouse if you didn't cheat and unlock them all early. i quit playing soon after because of the game being just like some of the other NFS games in making you lose all your speed vs keeping it when drifting

@catchingrepoman
hardly giving it a chance then really, stock cars wont handle how you want, that comes with parts and tuning, and you have got to plug away at the career to get them, or just go online , wont have any free cars won thru career tho

@wevsky maybe but i am not playing online. i am playing story which doesn't allow you to upgrade the starter cars more than body kits that as for the most part, locked.

@catchingrepoman
yes because you need to progress, you know how it works, progress , buy garages , get better parts. etc etc

@wevsky yes and they make it almost impossible to do with the bad steering mechanics, opponent cars and traffic cars just running into you, the cops being able to see you great distances even on heat level 1. just too many issues with the game. i understand it came out in Dec. last year. but companies no longer care about the base game. they should probably just make an online only version

@catchingrepoman
well you can just play online, you would start with no money or any cars and have to use loaners. and thats a hard slog, just get the career done, you have the ability to redo the last day before the big race if you dont have the right car

@wevsky looking at the reviews of people from console. they gave it 2 of 5 with 751 reviews. seems like its more hated than I thought

@catchingrepoman
well , as said theres a lot of us who were still playing and a lot that still are. ill wait until people get bored of link up and try getting some races in, but i usually race with a few friends so its not that much of an issue

@wevsky @wevsky i decided to go back and give it another try and * no I am done. anyone who says they like this game is either an idiot, have never played another NFS game or is playing on PC where they can easily mod the game files to make things easier or harder depending on their play style. playing the street race "goin' uptown" I can not get any kind of break. my car doesn't move at the start, I am constantly being shoved byt other racers into traffic as if I was a feather but they are bolted to the ground. no, just no. i am done with this game forever. the only upside I can say about it is with EA play, I didn't have to spend a dime on it.
