Could I possibly raise another concern with NFS-HP_RMSTRD. What can be done about PC people and seen some people on Nintendo Switch do it to drive Exotic cars in other series like Sports & Hyper and opposite a performance car in Super or Exotic. Not even able to bust them when they are stopped. Your weapons do nothing no damage and they have continuous. I’m by far a rising Novice to this game as well. It sure would be nice to enter a cheating detection so they are booted or exited from the lobby or game. A lot of this is because of cross-play and it ruins a lot for others. Especially those who are new to the game. Can we go back to the way gaming used to be straight up?Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered-Find Session stopped working Xbox
On 10/20/25 there was a aws outage and ever since then the “find session” no longer works for xb players. It will try searching for the first time but will stop soon after and each subsequent time the search is shorter and shorter until it just kicks you back to the online multiplayer menu screen. The only way we can play is to create a match. Please fix ASAP!Need for Speed A Legacy-Driven Future Concept From a Long Time Fan (client)
Dear Electronic Arts / Need for Speed Team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing as someone who has played Need for Speed since childhood and who deeply respects what this franchise represents. Need for Speed shaped my love for cars, speed, and street culture at a time when I knew nothing about how games were made. That history is the reason I am reaching out. To be honest, I am also writing out of concern. I am afraid that we may not see another true Need for Speed in the future, especially while other companies continue to push racing games forward. I know Electronic Arts is a large and experienced team that has created incredible experiences for decades, which is why I hesitated but also why I felt this idea was worth sharing. This concept is inspired by both the direction of today’s world and the legacy of Need for Speed itself. The automotive world is rapidly shifting toward electric vehicles, automation, and AI-controlled transportation. While this evolution has its place, many car enthusiasts feel disconnected from it. Electric and robotic cars can feel efficient but soulless like toys rather than machines. Real driving, real sound, and real danger are slowly disappearing. Setting: The year is 2099. Governments have fully banned gas-powered vehicles worldwide. Human driving is illegal. Cities are built exclusively for electric and autonomous transport systems controlled by AI. Despite this, underground communities still exist. These racers, mechanics, and engineers refuse to let real cars die. Gas-powered vehicles are no longer outdated they are forbidden. Core Experience: The player is part of an outlaw crew that keeps combustion cars alive. Races take place at night through futuristic cities, abandoned highways, deserts, and industrial ruins. Every race is a risk, not just against other drivers, but against AI enforcement units designed to eliminate illegal vehicles. Electric AI cars are silent, precise, and perfectly coordinated. Gas cars are loud, aggressive, unstable and human. Narrative Drive: During a major underground operation, chaos erupts across the city. One of your crew members is captured by AI units after mass destruction and pursuit. Instead of ending the story, this becomes the motivation to go further to rise through the underground, unlock restricted zones, destroy AI vehicles, and fight back against a system trying to erase real driving. Legacy Element (Key Idea): As the story expands, the player begins discovering remnants of Like access parallel realities finally fuses , past Need for Speed eras. Entire cities once known for legendary street racing inspired by locations like those from Most Wanted, Hot Pursuit, and other classic titles are now locked, abandoned, or repurposed by AI control. You find former racers from earlier generations. Some are retired. Some are hiding. Some are old, bitter, or broken but they still remember. These characters once ruled the streets and now join the resistance in different ways: mentors, specialists, or even playable characters. At certain points, the player can switch characters, each with unique driving styles, histories, and emotional weight. This turns the game into a preservation of Need for Speed’s legacy not just cars, but people, cities, and stories that shaped the franchise. Theme: This is not just a racing game. It is about freedom versus control, legacy versus erasure, and saving the soul of driving itself and in a way, saving Need for Speed inside its own future. I fully understand that Electronic Arts receives many messages and cannot accept unsolicited ideas in detail. My intention is simply to share a concept born from respect for the franchise and genuine love for car culture. Thank you for the memories you created throughout my childhood and for continuing to inspire players around the worldNFS Rebirth: A Visionary Proposal to Restore the Franchise's Core Identity
Subject: A Visionary Proposal for the Future of Need for Speed: Returning to the Roots with Prestige and Challenge Introduction: "I know that this text is extremely valuable; it is not just about saving a series, but about laying the foundation to revive and resurrect it. I am Turkish, and I wrote this with the deep emotion and sentiment of my native language. I understand that translating these feelings into English with the same impact is difficult, but I have done my best to convey the vision. I will include the original Turkish version at the end of this post. If there are any developers who speak or understand Turkish, I urge you to read that section, as it will allow you to grasp my intent more clearly and deeply." The Proposal: I believe that "Need for Speed Underground 2" and "Need for Speed Most Wanted" (which I can't even find on the EA website anymore) are the true roots of this franchise, remaining the most beloved and personal titles for fans. I envision a remastered masterpiece that blends the driving physics, camera angles, and pure pleasure of "Need for Speed Underground 2" with the compelling story and unique "boss battle" style races of "Need for Speed Most Wanted". The game should feature cars that possess character and soul; where winning an opponent's car feels meaningful and tied to the story, rather than just unlocking a generic vehicle. Boss battles should be driven by 16–20 flawless race recordings from 8–10 elite players who live and breathe the franchise, ensuring a challenge that surpasses standard AI. More importantly, the boss vehicles must be designed by true automotive enthusiasts who were raised in the car's country of origin; only someone who has grown up in that specific car culture can imbue the vehicles with the authentic soul and identity needed for such a prestigious project. Ideally, this should be a night-racing game that perfectly harmonizes side missions with the main story. Such a game would allow us "old school" players to express our originality while offering a timeless experience for the new generation, effectively reviving the Need for Speed legacy. Furthermore, I strongly suggest that offline races and "Star Races" be infused with such high difficulty and realism that reaching the highest level requires immense effort and pure skill. Access to top-tier vehicles and advanced upgrades—both in offline and online modes—must be incredibly difficult to achieve; this will ensure that only the most dedicated players can reach the top, creating a true sense of prestige and fierce competition. If high-end content is earned through true struggle, it will deeply immerse players and ensure the Need for Speed culture continues for years to come.

I just recently did a fresh install on need for speed hot pursuit remastered and the intro is missing music and the menus lag. The game has really bad optimization. I tried restarting my pc, capping to 60 fps, turning vsync on and off, and adjusting graphics settings. I am on windows 11 with an NVIDIA RTX 3080
