NFS Heat stole my progress.
The game kept crashing within 20min every time I try to night race and almost everytime with day racing so I uninstalled...and reinstalled Everything (yes, I checked before booting up) because I couldn't think of anything else...my storage % is low and other things to reduce crash likelihood and others have had success at stopping the crashes for a while with this... but when I got to the garage it told me I'm not on the deluxe edition (I Am...) and that my F1 black market wasn't installed (it IS) so I can't use the F1 and it reset my black market progress...it uninstalled and reinstalled the black market bit just to be sure...I can use the car now...but all my black market challenges are still reset and the parts have been revoked. [Edit - CM] I'm not going thru that BS every few weeks because I have to clean reinstall to avoid the game constantly crashing. I have a platinum on the game a lots of dedicated hours so good for you, ya got me hooked for a while. but I think I'm done. Between the audio bug bricking the game...the crashing...and now this...**bleep** it. It's not worth it for a game the company probably wants to kill off anyway. Congrats EA. It'll probably be (another) 20 years before I pick up a game from you again. (Last was Underground 2.) [Title edit - CM]

Hello Need for Speed team / EA. I have an idea for the future of the Need for Speed franchise. I would love to see a new NFS game that combines realism, freedom, and the best features from previous games: Graphics quality similar to Forza Horizon 5 Fully dynamic day and night cycle (not separated). A large open world with city, highways, and countryside. A big car roster including Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren. Deep car customization like the Underground era. Improved police chases similar to Need for Speed Heat but with smarter AI. More realistic visuals (no cartoon-style effects). Basically: a mix of Need for Speed Heat atmosphere, No Limits car variety, and Forza Horizon 5-level graphics. I believe this direction could bring the franchise back to its peak popularity and attract many new players. Thank you for reading!
Need for Speed: Heat... ALL text flagged as profanity in license plate editor
After approximately a dozen agents chatting with me over the last hour or so, they suggested that I post here that on NFS: Heat on PC that no matter what I put into the License Plate text editor, it's always flagged as profanity. I have verified integrity of game files, completed several reboots, completed a clean boot, verified language and region settings are all aligned between the PC, game, EA app, and steam. I am attaching the screenshots sent to the chat agents and (hopefully) a clip. Excuse the quality of screenshots and the clip. The chat only allows a 5MB still shot per upload and the forum only allows a max of 75MB and I play in 4k.Nfs idea
Hey @NeedforSpeed / @CriterionGames 👋👋 I’ve been a BIG fan of nfs and I wanted to share some ideas I think would make the next NFS amazing: 1. Japan map🗺️ 2. Nfs heat back fire🔥 3. Open world 🌆 4. More cars (ex. Subaru legacy 3.0r, volvo s60R, etc)🚗 5. More customization 6. Better sounds🔊 7. Name idea (Need for Speed: Neon)💡 I’m even trying to make my own racing game inspired by NFS 🎮 Would love to hear what you think! 💬NFS Heat is still fun… it just needs ONE small thing
Lets discuss this; I still play Need for Speed Heat and once in a blue moon I come across a player who drives like they have the same love for the game as I do. Its no secret why though, Its an old game. Old games die. But not all have to. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint's "Immersive Mode" update resuscitated that entire project and NFS Heat can too using that same approach by introducing an "Adaptive Cop System". Allow the player to control and personalize police presence and behavior. Key features: cop intensity slider (low → insane) separate settings for day/night cops reacting more to what you’re actually doing (speeding, racing, causing chaos, etc.) This could be a low-effort update that would actually bring people back. Does anyone still play NFS Heat specifically? If so let me know how this idea sounds, I really want to get some traction on it.
Unable to Create Crew in Need for Speed Heat (PC)
Good day. I am experiencing an issue while playing Need for Speed Heat on PC. When I try to create a crew, I cannot proceed after entering the crew name. I have already checked the crew name I entered, and it does not contain any profanity or inappropriate words. I also made sure that the name is not already used by an existing crew. However, the game still does not allow me to continue or create the crew. My platform is PC, and the issue happens during the crew creation screen after typing the crew name. There is no error message, but I am unable to proceed with the creation. I would appreciate any assistance or troubleshooting steps you can provide to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and support.No poder Unirse a Bandas/Can’t Join Crews
Volvi a instalarme el juego después de un tiempo pero no me deja unirme s bandas, al buscar o crear una banda, me sale que contiene lenguaje obsceno. Intente hablar con EA y no me pudieron ayudar, quien tiene soluciones. I installed the game again and can’t even create or join a crew because it got obscene language, I typed even hello and it say is obscene
