NFS Unbound NEEDS Force Feedback

Hello all,

I've brought this topic up to EA support, but it's literally out of their control, and they directed me here to try to make a difference.  I've seen others make posts about this, but I'm throwing another post out into the void in the hopes that the volume of people asking for this feature means something.

The current wheel support is a joke.  There's no force feedback to speak of, which is insane considering NFS Heat added FF post launch and driving in that game is a blast on a wheel compared to this, a more recent NFS title.  Out of everything, why would this not carry over into future releases?  I understand it's an arcade racer, but a driving game launching so recent without proper support for steering wheels is ludicrous.  NFS Heat was my favorite game to use my steering wheel with, it was like bringing the arcade racers I used to play at arcades growing up into my living room.  Surely this is an oversight?  I love everything about this game visually, but I had to uninstall and redownload Heat for the time being.  I paid $70 for this game, and we can't have FF settings this late post launch?  Let me say again; I love NFS, I always have, but if we're entering an age where games cost $70, it should also be an age where steering wheel support is a given, especially when indie games are doing it better.

  • @Kintr0n I sure hope an answer happens soon, i'm in the same boat you are. I asked for help and I've heard crickets and thats about it. I bought the game because my wheel was in the list of "thoroughly tested wheels". If they had been honest, I would have saved my money. To late for refund. Sucks.
  • @Sekabb77 I was supprised that there are no wheel support?!? I have Fanatec Dd Pro and no support, so lazy devs.
  • Yeah the FFB is atrocious...seeing that NFS Heat had pretty robust steering support like changing the angle from 200  to 900...and the FFB was decent...not the best, but decent...I don't understand why the same couldn't be done for Unbound...please Criterion, improve the FFB and steering settings on Unbound...

  • @Kintr0n I'm so happy I played the trial for this before I bought it. If they actually gave decent wheel support to the game, I would have actually bought it. And of course, this post has been up since March, and not even a pre wrote form apology from anybody in EA

    @cybrpnk_002 Pretty much because Criterion aren’t a fraction of the studio ghost was when it comes to making racing games

    Tbh NFS heat is so much more fun with the wheel that I’m giving up on unbound unless they add some settings or fixed the bindings or even added force feedback. But hey I guess $70 a game meant better support….not
